Soccer Super Star

We decided to sign Ashie up for soccer to cure his winter boredom and in effect cure ours. We love watching our super soccer star.

So what if he actually never kicks the ball

He at least is making friends along the way!

So what if he spends most of his time twirling in the net,

He is learning what it means to be on a team!

Ashie's favorite things about soccer are: his new jersey, his new soccer shoes, and running very fast.

My favorite thing about soccer is the pride I feel at watching my boy try his very hardest!

You go Ashie my soccer super star!

My little guy

See my little Coach; he is funny. He makes us laugh everyday.
One of his most favorite things in the world is taking a bath. Once he hears the bath water filling the tub he comes running. Most of the time I have enough presence of mind to strip him down before turning on the bathtub. Sometimes I don't and here is the result...

A child so excited to be in the tub that he jumps in fully clothed, diaper and all. The silly part is he doesn't even seem to mind.

I love this little guy; he makes us laugh everyday!

Its just a phase...

Ashie is in this phase where he only refers to his dad by his first name. I giggle every time I hear him do this, thus encouraging the bad behavior. Has any of your kids gone through a phase like this?

Holiday Season In Review

We had an EXCELLENT month and here are the pictures to prove it. Brace yourselves there are A LOT of pictures - it has been VERY busy month.

The first snowman of the season. He is a bit small, but we didn't have a lot of snow to work with.


Landes family Christmas party. Grandma Honnie Knows how to throw an excellent party!




Christmas isn't Christmas if you don't visit temple square and see the lights. Brrrrr it sure was cold, but totally worth it!





Ashie's Tonsillectomy. He is recovering quit nicely. Although we did have one scary night involving a run to the ER. When Ashie's scabs came off he lost a lot of blood. More blood than any parent would want to see spewing from their child's mouth. In the end we paid $75 for a popsicle. All Ashie needed is more cool drinks/treats to slow the blood flow.


Francis family Christmas party.



Christmas Eve with my peeps. We Davi know how to party - even Santa stopped by for the fun.






Christmas was spectacular like always! Having kids make Christmas even more magic, I love watching life through their eyes. They didn't even notice that we didn't have power all morning.






Christmas morning with Grandma Honnie and Grandpa Brad. Like always the boys were spoiled by all of their grandparents. I can't blame the grandparents when my boys are so stinking cute!




Enjoying the mounds of snow that dumped over the Christmas break.

Gynaecology Humor

I didn't think my OBGYN's office could top the Christmas card I got from them last year.
2007 OBGYN Christmas Card

You tell me?
2008 OBGYN Christmas Card

I don't even want to see next years card.

Recovery

Ashie is such a strong little guy. He doesn't let a "minor" thing like a tonsillectomy bring him down. He has been busy as ever, it could be the pain killers, they seem to have the side-affect of making him very hyper. Hopefully he will be fully recovered by Christmas.

Ginormous Tonsils

This isn't a picture of Ashie's tonsils, but it gives you an idea what his poor little mouth looks like. Crowded!!! His tonsils are what the doctor calls kissing tonsils (i.e. tonsils that are so large that they touch). I often wonder how the poor kid can swallow with those bad boys in the way.

Tomorrow Ashie's tonsils will be removed. Naph's and I are anxious about sending our baby into surgery, but we know it is best for our little guy. His tonsils make Ashie snore worse than Bampa, he has sleep apnea from time to time, his breath is horrid, no matter how much we brush his teeth, and the poor guy talks like a frog. I know it is his tonsils that causes him to talk that way. Needless to say Naph's and I are glad to see those bad boy tonsils go.
