slippie slides!!!!





So, my sister Jen came into Portland a little over two weeks ago. She brought with her my nephew Trace and my new niece Shea!! We had so much fun with them. Asher and Trace are 16 months apart but they play like there is no difference. Now, you would think that Asher being older would be taller. Not the case. See, Trace's daddy is 6'5" and Asher's daddy is 5'7". Almost a foot difference!!!! They look hilarious together! Enough about the daddy's, Trace is now taller the Asher buy an inch. He's a big boy! But, let's not forget about his sister. Shea was 10lbs at birth, so Jen was at a disadvantage from birth. But now Shea is less than three months old and she is a whopping 16lbs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, she is that big. My poor sister is having joint problems from having to carry her around. Even though she is very big, she is so beautiful. We had a great time with them while they were here. This was one of the best. Aunt dada and Jennelee bought Asher a Spiderman slip n' slide for his birthday. We busted it out and had a great time!!!

We Are Team Troxell!!



So, not long after Asher was born, Doug christened us with the family name "Team Troxell"! That is what I titled our blog so I thought I should at least put a picture up of the team.
This was taken last fall, hence the corn field, so it's a bit old. I don't know about anyone else, but we seem to have a hard time getting family pictures.
Asher is now five years old and getting ready to start kindergarten. He is so excited. The thought of being in school all day every day gets him giddy! He has some very special friends that he can't wait to see again.
Carson is two!!! Ummmm... how to explain Carson? I usually just call him a stinker but there is so much more to him. He is very, very, very loud!! This child can yell. He doesn't scream, he yells. Mostly at his brother, but very much at me!
Doug and I have been married for seven years now and are very happy. We are super lucky because we have a couple wonderful Grandma's (not to mention grammy's) and a Papa in town who spoil us with date nights.
All in all, we are blessed!!
