Superstition Farm

Cherry vanilla milk mustache from the Milk Bar.

Throwing a stick for the happy farm dog.







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!

It's A..........

Part of a video of the baby playing with it's hand. But the video part did not work out.



High Five!


Cute little foot.

This wiggly little baby was playing with it's hands the whole ultrasound.


Easton loving on the belly. 19 weeks.


Just kidding! It's still a surprise! We held strong and resisted finding out. But both Chris and are are pretty convinced it is a boy. We had our ultrasound last week and the tech took tons of time to get cool baby pictures and video. Much better than our last experience with the miserable tech. I guess this is becoming more of a family blog rather than just Easton. Sorry Easton!
