Boys Adventures

Aaron took Ashton duck hunting for the first time this year. I was a little nervous about it, since Ash is so young, but he loved it. He didn't complain or anything and when it was time to go he got upset because they "didn't shoot a duck yet!" Looks like Aaron has a hunting buddy!


Aaron, Ashton and uncle Scott went Ice Fishing for the first time too - again Ashton loved it. He didn't complain about the cold (not my kid) and wanted to stay longer. He really loved riding in the sled.

Suprise!

Are you as shocked as we were? It looks like we are adding another little one to our clan. Completely unexpected but we're starting to feel "comfortable" with the idea of having two kids 13 1/2 months apart! No. 3 is due July 4th, which means we'll probably have the baby the last week of June due to c-section. It's funny because we have a lot of birthdays that week in my family including my mom!

We'll find out the gender on the 14th of January. Ashton really wants a baby sister - I think it's cause his best friend is expecting a sister this spring. I'm ok with whatever since I have my two boys. Aaron thinks it would be fun to have another boy (of course).

Besides feeling more nauseous, tired and moody than ever (maybe b/c I haven't gotten all the hormones from Colten out of my system yet) I'm feeling a little overwhelmed and apprehensive. I have a hard time adapting when things don't go according to "plan," but I'm starting to feel like I can do this and it will be the best in the long run. Aaron is super excited - since this will most likely be our last.

Christmas

Ashton kills me! He's been asking for two things for Christmas for 6 months - I thought we were going to get a very excited, jumping up and down, "this is what I really wanted" out of him. What did we get - nothing. He opened the presents, and was like 'alright.' He wasn't being spoiled or anything, just no big reaction. I told Aaron that it was disappointing, the only thing I really look forward to for Christmas now is his excitement...bummer.

On another note Aaron's mom got Ashton boxing gloves and a bag for christmas. He and his cousin Max had a good time pelting each other. And for those of you concerned about Colten's well-being, we left the boxing gloves at grandma's house!

Merry Christmas!

We hope you have a wonderful Christmas! I'm super excited to see Ashton this year - he's had a list for 6 months and he hasn't forgotten one thing on it!

Santa

So Ashton got to sit on Santa's lap yesterday and it's the first time he really understood the concept. He told Santa that he would like "a tar" or guitar, Santa told him he could do that but he needs to start picking up his toys with out mom and dad having to ask him so many times! I think we'll take him to Layton Mall to see Santa every year! They wouldn't let us take our own pictures though so I don't have one...

Finally


We finally got updated pictures of the boys yesterday. Angie at Kiddie Kandid did a great job. We even took a couple with cousin CC.

Aaron

Ok this has been a crazy month! My Brother got married, Ashton got staples, Aaron had his birthday, Thanksgiving, my dog is sick with bronchitis and a million other things. In all the run around I feel like Aaron's bday was a bust. I tried to take him out to dinner but after one bite of mine I started to fall asleep, that's right I could barely keep my eyes open. I'm so glad that he was understanding. I just wanted to say how grateful I am for him. He is a wonderful father and a great husband. He's my best friend and I know we wouldn't survive without him. So happy belated birthday - We love you!
