What did he just say?

It's summertime...and you know what that means? Swimming, sunshine, fresh produce, warm nights, and fireflies.

One Sunday dinner at my parents' house, we were eating some delicious corn on the cob. Someone asked to have the spray butter passed. Asher piped up, "Please, can I have some sunscream for my corn on the cob?"

Last night Jake invited Asher and I to dinner, Asher's first movie in the theater, Cars 2, and to wind up the date, he took us to Whitey's Ice Cream. Asher, of course, chose the orange sherbet and insisted he have it in a cone. This morning when he woke up, he was STILL talking about what an exciting night it was..."And I got orange ice cream...in a comb!"

We recently picked Jake up from his Homecoming ceremony. He has been deployed to Afghanistan for the last year and it has been so wonderful to have him home again. On our way out of the town, we saw a Chinook helicopter, and a regular helicopter. Grandma explained the differences between the two. Tonight, Asher was talking about the Chinook, and Grandma said, "What does the Chinook have that the other helicopter doesn't have?" Asher let us all know what he had learned..."Two repellers!"
