In Memory of Great Grandma Adolf

Monday my great Grandma Adolf passed away. She has been fighting leukemia for quiet a few years now. She fell and broke her hip about two weeks ago, and they were worried about doing surgery. She was so weak already, and surgery could of made things worse. In my family for some odd reason we always called Great Grandma Grandma Hank, because Hank was her husbands name. We also did this with my other great grandparents. I remember going over to Lovell in the summer to see Grandpa and Grandma Hank, and they had the best garden ever. Huge tomatoes, and wonderful corn. Grandma Hank was a super good cook. I didn't love her cooking when I was younger because she would try to get me to eat brussel sprouts all the time. The older I got I really enjoyed her cooking. She was a very strong member of the church. She always even when she was so sick shared her testimony with us, and her love for the gospel. Ian got to meet Grandma Hank this summer, and we were able to get a 5 generation picture at our visit. Grandma Hank was such a good example to our family. We know she is happier than ever in heaven with Grandpa. We love you Grandma Hank.

5 months

Ian is 5 months old. Crazy? I know! He has changed so much. Matthew and I were looking at pictures of him when he was first born, and he looks like a total different kid now. He is just a fun, happy , loving baby boy. He weighs a very solid 18 pounds now. He has decided that he doesn't have to go to bed till midnight every night now. No matter what we do he just doesn't like to sleep. Silly man. I think we might have a party animal on our hands. We started going to story time, and he loves all the songs, and watching all the other kids. It's so fun that our library does a story time for his age.  We love you Ian. We are so happy to be your parents.

MMMMM That was good.

Just Chillin

We tried to keep him awake, but it just wasn't going to happen.

Mister Ian

 Ian is growing up so fast. Here is what he has been up to lately.

Enjoying Ice Cream for Family Home Evening

Chilling in the Chair

Eating Rice Cereal

Hanging with friends

Rolling all over the place. He looks like he might start crawling here.

Loving his bath time every night.

Being a cute, happy boy!

Started eating purred baby food. He loves sweet potatoes.

Update on Us: We have been busy as usual. Matthew has been studying and taking test like a crazy man. We sure are excited for him to have a break for at least a few days with out having to take a test.Matthew got to help with a alpaca C-section the other day. He was all sorts of excited about it. Matthew sure does love Vet school.  Ian and I still go to walking group every day in the morning. It's been really nice here in Pullman. It doesn't even feel like fall time, so we have enjoyed it on our walks. We sold our treadmill on craigslist, and got enough money to buy a elliptical. We have been really wanting one for a while, and it just came yesterday, and we really like it. Success!  We have been enjoying General Conference this weekend. We heard about the temple being built in Star Valley, Wyoming as many of you have. We are very excited to have a temple in Wyoming. It is still far from Lovell/Burlington, but still so cool. I am so thankful for temples, and for the peaceful feeling I get every time I go to the temple. I am especially thankful that I was able to be sealed for eternity to Matthew in the temple. I sure love my eternal family.

Finally the Weekend...

Don't you get so excited when Friday comes around and its finally the weekend? I sure do. I love having Matthew home a little bit more. Although, all the tests are starting up for him we were still able to do some fun things this weekend as a family in between studying. Friday evening we drove to Uniontown, WA to a Dave Stamey concert in the Artisan barn. We enjoy this cowboy music with our friends the Phillip and Angela Firth. Even Ian got to join in on the fun. It was his first concert, and he did great. This weekend the Latah County Fair in Moscow was going on. After Matthew studied for awhile today we headed over to check it out. The weekend is almost over, but we enjoyed our time together as a family. Also we got a new nephew on Friday. We got to skype with Daniel, Kasi & Britt tonight, and we just can't wait to meet this cute baby boy in person. We are so excited for another Asay boy. Hope you all had a enjoyable weekend as well.

This little guy is 4 months old today. I just can't believe how fast he is growing. I feel so blessed to have this cutie in our lives. I thank my Heavenly Father daily for letting him come to our family. He goes to his 4 month checkup on the 14th, so I will have all his new stats by then. We sure love Ian, and think he is the cutest boy ever.
