My Scooby Doo

You are probably wondering why there are not many pictures and posts about my Scooby Doo. The reason is I am too busy loving on him to take a break and post. When Naph's and I had Ashie we were getting use to the whole parenting thing. We enjoyed baby Ashie very much, but at the same time everything was new and we were learning. By the time Ashie was 21 months old Coach was born. We had two little guys in diapers and we were busy. We loved our boys very much, but didn't have too much time to love on them and adore them as much as we would have loved to. Scooby Doo was born more than 3 1/2 years after Coach, because of the huge gap in age both Ashie and Coach are more self sufficient which gives me more time to love on Scooby. I know now that my boys grow up faster than I can control and I want every minute of Scooby's babyhood to count. So if you excuse me I am off to cuddle with the sweetest little guy in town. I am so very blessed!

My Ashie

The boyz and their super cute cousin miss H.

The other day as we were leaving Glama's house I was talking to Ashie and Coach about the dangers of playing on or near the street at Glama's and Bampa's. I told the boys that when we play in our street the cars do not go very fast and if they were to be hit by a car they would probably only get hurt, but if they were to be hit by a car on Glama and Bampa's street they would most likely be killed. To this Ashie replay's, killed?! Does that mean I wouldn't be a daddy?"

In that same conversation I was talking to the boys about how blessed I am to have three boys. Ashie chimes in saying, "when I am married I am going to tell my honey to give me girls and if that doesn't work I will ask Jesus for them." Adorable! I love the things my kids say!

Primarily Speaking

The boys were on a recent episode of Mormon Times. Check them out. I think they are pretty adorable if you ask me. But I might be a little basis.

Check out the cool pictures we made on PBS KIDS.
