Time Please

I have some time…what! Time, what a asset.  If I could ask more of anything it would be time.  More time to spend time with my family, more time to go through my emails, more time to complete my tasks at work, more time for me, more time to run errands, more time to sleep, just more time.  But at the end of the day I only 24 hours.  Below are a slew of photos to show how fast time is going… these kids are growing so fast and I know I will look back and think "where did the time go?"

Making peanut butter cookies.  This child loves to bake!

Liesel is becoming a great little writer.  This is a sweet note she wrote her kindergarten teach, Ms. Boyer. 

So…One morning at 7:00 am Ms. Jan comes in and says "Did you know your cows are on the corner of 82nd and Alkire?"  Nope, I did not know that.  Not sure what to do because Scott was out of town.  Of course Scott was out of town.  I headed up to check out the situation.  There was a cop, a facilities guy from Ralston Valley, and I called John for support.  We eventually started to walk the three them back home.  Yep this engineer, mother of three, ran a cattle drive at 7:30 on a Tuesday Morning.  My life?!?!  That night Milo helped me mend the broken fence.

Busted!

Maddox loves when I bring home plans for him to do his work on.  Start training the future engineers at a young age. 

All dressed up.

Now

I have sat down to blog multiple  times over the last  two months and I have started lots of very thoughtful sweet posts.  At the end of the day I didn't finish any of them and now I am anxious that I have gone so long without a blog entry.  I'm not anxious because I think anyone is eagerly waiting to find out what the Aschermann's have been up to.  I am pretty sure the only people who look at this is are Nana and Grammy.  Thank you Nana and Grammy.  That being said,  I do have grand hopes to one day turn the blog into a baby book of sorts for my family.  For this reason I need to dump all the wonderful memories over the last two months.  I need to dump them here so I have a place to go and remember now.  Now is crazy, busy, fun, stressful, loud, and so many more things.  But mostly now is just moving too fast so here is a load of pictures which show what we have been up to.

Parent time.

This boy loves to play games.  His favorite game right now are Candy Land, Sorry, and Rat a Tat Cat.  The biggest difference front his little game player and his big brother and Sister is that he is such a graceful looser.  He doesn't through a fit and is ready for the next game.

Milo had a accident after school.  It was a par core situation that lead us to the urgent care.

The next day, same urgent care staff,  Maddox visited the urgent care because of a hockey stick to the face.  I did warn the staff that I have a third child.  Luckily we did not return for a third day in a row. 

Battle wounds.

We did visit the NWC stockshow this year, as we always do.  The boys and I met up with Dad and Liesel.  Those two wanted to spend all day there 9-6.  We didn't have quite that much stamina.  We had to park a long ways away and got to ride a rickshaw to the stock show.  This ended up being Milo's favorite part. 

These two. So much alike

Tractor Fun
