Easton's Big Boy Room

Above is Easton in his new big boy room! He has a new trundle bed so he has a nice place to lay when he falls off. Lately he has taken to switching back and forth from the top bed to the bottom through out the night. It took a few days to convince him but once Easton got the hang of it he has been pretty good about staying in bed until we come get him. He now sits on the bed and yells "Mama! Daddy!" and one morning yelled "I full!" which apparently is his go-to phrase meaning he is finished with something. Chris put up some nice shelves he built and I need to maybe actually organize the stuff thrown up on the shelves. Chris also put up a cool car track around the room. Easton loves it! The other pictures are our failed attempt at one last "Family of 3 Belly photo". Easton was not having it and we did not get the adorable picture of him kissing the baby one last time. We even resorted to drawing on my belly in hopes he would pose for a picture. No such luck. Hopefully only 2 weeks to go so this may be the last update before the baby update.

Easton's new ride.

Check out Easton's new ride! Chris did an awesome job finding us a 2003 Cadillac Escalade. Easton absolutely loves it and says "Fast!" whenever we are driving. Now if I could only learn how to park this big car and back it up decently. Also above are 37 week baby belly pictures. Getting close!

Superstition Farm

Feeding carrots to the horse.

Feeding the crazy goats.

Hay ride. I think he is almost alseep.

We went to check out Superstition Farm today. I am glad we went for a tour especially since it is right down the street. Easton loved all of the animals and had a chance to feed them. There were chickens all over the place. He really loved the bunnies. We saw around 2,000 dairy cows on the hay ride. Easton tried Cherry vanilla milk from the milk bar and we bought some goodies made with the milk for home- a few ice creams, garlic butter, and cheese. I think we will have to head back and feed the animals again sometime.

Easton's bebe

Easton had has a very big week. He has been hugging "bebe" every time he gets near my giant belly. He says "I see bebe", gives it a big hug or kiss, then even once this week proceeded to sing "Twinkle, Twinkle" to the baby. Hopefully he will be this happy once the baby actually arrives. We just switched over to one nap and I think we are both having trouble adjusting. This has resulted in some new and exciting things for Easton. He has discovered the joys of climbing on the counter, crawling arcross the dining room table, and climbing out of the pack n' play. He has learned how to say "I toot" and stinky or "stinsy" while pinching his nose. I left the room for 15 seconds and when I came back he had the tv on the Playboy channel trying to order some naughty pay-per-view. On a not so rambunctious note he did go pee in the potty once so that was pretty exciting. I think I am going to blame all of the above on the one nap transition. Maybe we should switch back!

Easton's busy Christmas.

Trip to San Tan Mall to see Santa with his buddy Jaxon.

The boys loved the Carolers.

Dancing in the "snow"- aka: foam

Clearly Santa was making Easton a bit nervous.

Bath time with Grandma.

Test driving the Mopi. Thanks GG Pa!

Digging through his stocking.

Snuggling with Cousin Avery while watching Curious George.

Testing out the wagon Avery gave him for Christmas.

Going on a safari with Uncle Cory.

These two look like trouble together.

The Askew crew.

We have not posted any updates in a while so these pictures go all the way back to our visit with Santa. Easton was not a fan this year and we have the most pathetic picture of him pleading for help. I am sure we have a few more years ahead of this in the Santa photo department. The entire Askew crew came to town for Christmas this year. Easton had a blast with his Aunts, Uncles, Grandma, and Grandpa. He really misses having Avery to chase around. Somehow we have very few pictures of the whole family this time around. Easton is one lucky little boy. He was spoiled with a basketball hoop, sand box, picnic table, wagon, and tons of other goodies. What a lucky little guy!

Little Boys

Fixing the chair with Daddy.

Trying to escape out the front door with the help of a laundry basket.

This is what I walked into after leaving the room for about 30 seconds. Easton decided he needed to sit on top of his new outdoor chair on top of the couch. Is this only the beginning of being a Mom to a fearless little boy?

Instead of using his music cube to play music Easton now moves it around the house as a step stool. I am sure we could find him a bigger, more stable surface but this is his current choice.

Easton and his new backyard.

The little garden.

Easton likes to pick mint.

Over Fall Break Chris completely demolished and revamped our backyard. It is so beautiful now. He did such an amazing job and we are so lucky! Easton now has grass to play on, a garden to get messy in, rocks to shovel, and a slide. In case you did not see our backyard before I will describe. It was all rock. Everywhere. We had horseshoe pits in the middle. There was also a fire pit that had to go for now. Now we have the beautiful yard above to enjoy for this perfect time of year thanks to Chris!
