Asher's World

It was brought to my attention that I needed to update my blog. Boy were you right Erin!!! I had no idea it had been so long since my last post.

A lot has been going on in our world. Life is moving along so quickly. Asher is growing like a weed. He is talking more and more every day and it is absolutely mind blowing listening and observing the things he says and does. He is so smart! I know, I know.....I may be partial because he is my child, but I swear he is so amazing. He is such a little man. I sit and think back to the day he was born and I cannot believe that it has been over a year since we finally met him. What a perfect gift God has given us! Asher teaches me so much and has absolutely NO IDEA that he is doing that. He has taught me to enjoy every moment and not take things for granted. He has taught me kindness and love in a different way than anyone else has ever shown me. He has taught me patience and understanding. He has taught me to be more Faithful and Prayerful everyday. This little 2 ft person, lights up my day every day. He makes me forget about the stress at work and the stress from life in general. When I wake up and see him and he gives the best and biggest "squeezy hugs" ever...I can feel my heart smiling and Man does it feel great! He is such a loved little guy and I pray that he will reciprocate that throughout his life.

Asher's First Real Haircut

Easter 2012

Easter weekend was full of excitement for us this year. Myself, Mom, Kellie & Katie started off by having a yard sale Saturday morning. Despite the early hours, cool temperatures, blisters and chaos .... We ended up having a great time spending the morning with one another. I love my Mom and Sisters and am Really grateful that we are so close. Sunday, we went to Church and someone very special joined us that morning. For me, it's so great to know that I serve such a wonderful, loving God. He has truly Blessed me with some wonderful people in my life. Most importantly, He has given me the best gift that nothing else can compare to. My son is my heart and soul and I love being able to share my love for Christ with Asher. I look forward to witnessing to him for the rest of his life.
Here are a few pics from Easter! Enjoy!

Asher is ONE 01/27/2012

I knew this day was eventually going to come. I just didn't realize how fast this first year would go by. I think back to a year ago (tomorrow actually) and how scared I was, how anxious I was, how overwhelmed with emotion and love I was. I remember when Asher was in my arms...all I could do was think about how perfect he was. Now a year later, he is still just as perfect! I wonder if he knows how much he is loved? I've said it before, I always thought I knew what kind of love ny parents had for me.....having Asher REALLY opened my eyes to exactly what kind of love it is. I know now that I didn't fully comprehend it . How great is it to know that there is this little soul who loves you so much and you love so much and nothing will ever take that away. God has blessed me with the most wonderful gift I have ever received.  He chose me to be Asher's mom. That means so much to me and I thank Him constantly for it. I have watched my little guy grow this year and am amazed at how smart he is. YeS, I know every mom thinks their kid is the smartest - really mine is smarter :)JK! From the teething that started when he was 3 months old to the transition into daycare at 8 1/2 months to the severe allergic reaction to amoxocillin to him scooting backwards on the floor instead of crawling or walking to him learning to walk so quickly......to him reaching out his little arms for his mommy to hold him while calling my name. It is such an amazing process and I am SO SO GRATEFUL AND PROUD. Thank you Jesus for everything you have done in my life and continue to . Thank you to everyone who has helped make this 1st such a memorable year. Happy 1st Birthday Asher Adrian Puent! You are my heart and soul.  I love you!!!!!

2011

2011 was definitely a life changing year for me. It began in January when I gave birth to the most handsome 7lb 12 oz little boy in the world.  I can remember struggling to find the perfect name for my little man. I knew the moment I read the meaning of his name that I had found "the one." Asher- fortunate, blessed and happy.  Man did we hit the nail on the head with this name. He is all 3 of those. I remember when he was only a few hours old....he would smile and laugh in his sleep. He is such a happy baby and I thank God every day for allowing me to be his mommy. The joy that he has brought into my life is indescribable.  What an amazing blessing Asher man is.
I must say that one of the things that has strengthened within me during 2011 was/is my Faith. Realizing and Understanding Gods love for me. Knowing and trusting His will. Believing that God has a plan and a purpose for me, my future and giving it all to Him. Yes, I struggle with the giving it all to Him part sometimes....but in the end...I know God has nothing but good in store for me. What an amazing feeling it is to love Christ and know that He loves you unconditionally too. I must say that I am also thankful for my relationship with my friends and family. 2011 brought some trials my way. However through it all my friends and family have supported me and encouraged me the entire time. I am truly truly blessed to be loved by such wonderful people. I pray they feel the same love from me to them. Its hard to find people who are genuine, real, loving, supportive, Christlike and fun all rolled into one person. I have found this all in my friends and family.

Thanksgiving

This year was different than any other year before. I got to spend it with someone I am so thankful for - my son! I always thought I understood how much my parents love me and my siblings.  Truth is..I didn't. I didn't begin to comprehend what kind of love it is until I gave birth to Asher. I am so so thankful for him. I feel honored to be his mommy. I feel grateful that God trusted me to be his mommy. Thank you Lord! My family is big! It's growing every year. Pretty soon we are all going to have to do a potluck Thanksgiving because Mom has to cook Solo much food for us all. She always goes above and beyond with everything she does. I see the way her and my dad are with each other and I pray that when I get married my relationship is as loving, understanding, selfless and kind as theirs is. What an honor to be their daughter.  So in closing, I just want to honestly thank my Savior. Without you,  I wouldn't have all of these blessings In my life. Thank you for your unfailing love.
