Fun Times with Dad...

Here are just a couple of Easton's favorite things to do with his dad

baseball

Baseball... Easton loves to play baseball we were at the park for an hour or so just letting him hit the ball over and over. (By the way, this picture isn't the greatest, but stands out because as I took this picture I got hit by that ball!)

And back rides. Any time Ace is on the floor Easton climbs up and says, "Giddy-up Daddy!"

Wal-Mart & Obumbum...

So, recently Easton has been paying attention to things that I didn't think he was...

First, Walmart. I feel like I don't shop there a whole lot, in fact I'd prefer Target any day, but apparently Easton knows the store because I was on the Wal-mart website and Easton saw this logo, jumped up and said, "MAL-MART!!"

This man has been on the TV a lot...

Barack-obama1

I never talked to Easton about him before, but now every time he comes on the TV, Easton gets very excited and screams "OBUMBUM!"

Funny story...

We brought Easton to the ultrasound thinking he would like to see it. The second the Dr. turned on the screen Easton looks at the baby in my tummy and yells, "FISHY!"

Happy Birthday Ace! 2008

Saturday was Ace's birthday--we celebrated the whole weekend by going camping! We went up to Mount Charleston and the best part was that it is 20-30 degrees cooler there then here in Vegas! We had a lot of fun and it was great to just relax!

Ace loves going out into the woods to get firewood so that we don't have to buy any. So for his birthday he got a hatchet and got a little carried away!

Happy Birthday Ace!! We love you!!

It's Too Hot...

That is my excuse for not posting! Not that it is too hot to post, but I just haven't been taking any pictures because we haven't been doing anything because it is TOO HOT here in Vegas! Here is how Easton has been relaxing...

He climbs on the top of the couch and just lays there!

Also, his newest thing has been collecting things from around the house and hiding them either under the table or behind a curtain...I found this collection after I put him down for a nap...

Who wouldn't want to hide a piece of paper, the camera case, and two cookies??

Priceless...

Recently, I sent this picture to all of our family members...

This is the reason for the freaky floating baby on the side of my blog as well!!

Best of Friends...

Ruby and Easton really have a lot of fun together! They are always playing so good and giving each other hugs! It's so fun to watch them play-the other night they played with sidewalk chalk- although most of the chalk ended up on them rather than the sidewalk, they are still pretty cute!

Poor Penny...

This last week, we took Penny in to get spayed. She is pretty miserable! She has to wear the cone on her head for 2 weeks and no playing allowed, so both her and Easton are going crazy! The Vet gave us some pills that sedate her so that she doesn't disrupt her stitches so she is like our drunken dog--she runs into things because of her cone and sleeps a lot because of her pills!

Poor Penny

We're Back!!

For the last two weeks we have been in Utah with family and friends! So much happened during that time: my mom moved into my Aunts house because my Aunt and Uncle have been called as mission presidents in Equador, my brother Jesse left on his mission, and we had a family reunion on Ace's mom's side! We were there helping my mom move and get Jesse ready to leave, but we had a lot of fun being with everyone. We got to go to an aquarium with Ace's parents and Easton loved it! This is just a slide show of some of the things we did while we were there

The Toothpick...

Easton has always been a really good eater...up until recently! He will eat anything except meat! I have been trying everything to get him to eat it, he wants nothing to do with it! The other day, we went to Sams Club with our neighbors. Sams was passing out a bunch of samples (mostly meat samples) Ace asked if he should grab a meatball sample for Easton I said sure but he probably won't eat it. He got one for Easton and they came on a toothpick...EASTON ATE THE WHOLE THING! I was shocked! The next sample was of some ham, again on a toothpick, and again he ate it! So the next day I was giving him some ham for a snack and he wouldn't touch it, we then remembered the toothpick thing and this is what happened...
