Past Due

Life just gets busier and busier.

We tried to do a lot of fun things with Asha before the baby came and I meant to post the pictures before the baby came too...but that didn't happen.

So here are some pictures from our summer:

I love to see the Temple

Asha loves the Temple.

When we moved to Spokane, she was so excited that the temple is so close and so anytime we drive by a church or anything that looks sort of like a temple, she yells, "Temple!"

And along with her nightly request to read Cinderella,

she asks us to sing "I love to see the Temple."

Seriously just love her.

When we took her to the see the Spokane temple for the 1st time, she requested to wear a dress.

So here she is in, what she calls, her Rapunzel dress.

She tells us that when she "gets big like mom,"

she wants to get married in the temple and wear a princess dress.

A couple of days ago we were in the bakery section at the grocery store and Asha spotted the wedding cakes.

She said, "Asha want one."

And I replied, "Yeah you can have one when you get married."

She happily said, "Okay! When I get big like mom."

Haha.

Swami better start saving his money.

Summer Festivals

We went to a couple festivals around the area and anytime there was face painting, she wanted a princess crown.

The first time we went to one, we kept asking her what she wanted...

a butterfly, a balloon, a heart, etc, etc.

But she kept saying no, not on her cheek and kept pointing to her forehead.

It took a while, but we finally figured out what she wanted but couldn't quite express in words.

Here she is in her princess glory with her necklace that she just made.

Nana and Uncle KJ

The week before Kali was born Nana and Uncle KJ came to visit

We went downtown and did a carriage ride.

Asha loved it.

She loved the horses almost as much as her Uncle...

well maybe it was about even.

We celebrated KJ getting the Priesthood with an ice cream party.

Asha discovered "purple" ice cream

and fell in love.

Congratulations KJ!

We are very proud of you.

They left early Thursday morning for their drive back to Utah

and SURPRISE...

Kali came Saturday morning.
