January 2009
A Little Update:
Here are a bunch of pictures in January...My boys are all growing up so fast I can't stand it!
Chase is learning so much at school and is starting to get ready for Kindergarten in the fall. He spends as much time as possible with friends, but if he can't do that he plays on webkins.com or loves to watch movies. He has several stuffed pet animals: Egward, Lenny, Bones, and Max and takes very good care of them. He names them himself and usually takes one with us wherever we go. His favorite foods are Nutella sandwiches and pancakes! But he always reminds me he "hates to eat" I love his confidence and curiosity which has me answering a lot of difficult questions. He doesn't like to be teased (Boy was he born into the wrong family) and is such a good big brother.
Asher is a little nut! He is into everything! He loves to dance and is particularly fond of our "seseme street learning letters" video he calls it "Dee dee dee dee" (Maybe that's ABCD???) He is bored out of his mind is Chase is gone and has gone from being "mr independent I don't need to mom" to "If anybody besides mom or dad looks at me I'm going to hide" in just a couple of weeks! He thinks if he can't see you, you can't see him and spends a lot of time averting his eyes from people who are trying to get his attention. Asher is learning a lot of things he's communicating with words and actions. If we can't find something there's a good chance its in the bathtub, toilet, garbage or any drawers he can find. Yesterday I found a pan lid in the bathroom drawer...what a kid!
Toben is getting big too fast and I'm doing everything I can to prevent it. I have just BARELY started him on rice cereal and veggies (he's working on it) and am hoping rolling over isn't any time soon. I just want him to stay a baby. He doesn't cry much and doesn't laugh much, but he smiles all the time! He's a great baby except that he doesn't sleep or nap. I guess at least he's happy?!
Ammon and I are just staying busy with his job and the kids. Our house should be done in about April. I need to get some pictures of it up so you can see. We're all doing really great!

Sledding...you can't do this in Bunkerville!
Among all of the bad things that winter provides here ie: COLD COLD COLD! Dirty cars, slippery walkways etc...One thing it does provide is playing in the snow. Ammon is a great sport and spent some outside time with the boys.
Our House
Most of you will probably think we are CRAZY, especially any of you who knew us while we built our Bunkerville house, but we are building again. I have to share this with you because it's pretty unbelievable- The hole for our basement was dug on December 6th and as of this week, the electrical, ductwork, and plumbing are all done! The framing of our house took 2 days, that's right, two days. We can't keep up! So, to all of you who have experienced the clark county building- there is hope. It's not like that everywhere...THANK GOODNESS!

Protecting Baby Brother...
Okay, so I know that I need to post our Christmas stuff on here, but I need to post this before I forget. I had a very frustrating day with Toben who was SO fussy. Toben started crying for what seems like the billionth time so I walked over and said, "Toben I am done with you...what do you want!" Chase looked at me and said, "Mom! You don't be mad to Toben!" "If you are mad to Toben then I will not let my friends come over anymore and I will give toys to Asher but not you and mom...that's the deal!" "That's just the deal." Well...what do you say to that!

Chase the singer
Chase sang this song for sacrament meeting all by himself. He did such a great job and didn't even get scared! Here he is singing it at our family Christmas party.

Toben J
Our sweet Toben is three and a half months old! Our good friends offered to take some pictures for us and as you can see they turned out just darling!(Of course I may be a little partial)

Polar Express 2008
We took the boys to the Polar Express. Let me say that it is fantastic for 5-year-olds, not so hot for 1-year-olds. The train ride is about 1 1/2 hours long. Asher was interested for about a quarter of that time. We did have a good time though as you can see.
