"Come what may, and love it!......Yet in spite of discouragement and adversity, those who are happiest seem to have a way of learning from difficult times, becoming stronger, wiser, and happier as a result." ~ Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin

Some Asher info, pottery shows and Utah

Asher had his first haircut today.
He also had a doctors appointment today. No weight gain.
He had to have blood taken. We are starting all the testing Dr. Marsden suggested.
The test for cystic fibrosis is on the 12th. He will have a swallow study done soon
and will have a trip to the gastroenterologist in Pittsburgh on 20th to check for celiacs disease among other things.
Utah was good but sometimes a little stressful with the boys being sick. 
Heath got into another pottery show. The 4th International small teapot show in Mission Viejo, CA.
More to come on that.


We opened presents before we left for Utah.




He got a train. Can you tell by the smile on his face?




The Stocking.




The mess and cute Asher.




The boys on the plane to Utah.




Noah got a Thomas the Train "shaving" (soap) kit for Christmas from Grandma and Grandpa Papa. 




So cute.




He even makes the funny faces.




Lorie made an awesome chocolate cake for the Christmas party. Yummy! Don't ask what's in it, just eat it.




Noah went to Jumpin' Jax (I don't know if that's how you spell it but that's how I would spell it if I owned the place). It's a big warehouse type place with lots of bouncy houses. Liz works there so we got to go FOR FREE. Thanks Liz.




More jumpin'.




Noah getting ready for an intense game of twister with Grandpa and Lucas.




Yes, I said intense. It's kind of a hard game for kids that don't know their colors. :)





Cute Asher.




Noah learning a little guitar from Aunt Liz.




The jam session.
