Camping Trip

We took Asher for his first camping trip a few weeks ago (April 17-19). Asher and I stayed in the trailer most of the time but we still had a lot of fun.

Correction!

Jonny wanted me to file a correction to the last post. Well - not so much a correction as an amendment. One night (shortly after the last post) Jonny got up with Asher and took care of him while I slept for five hours straight. Then I woke up and had no idea that Asher had even been up at all. I guess it happens to both of us! :) What a good Daddy he is! Asher and I are lucky to have him around.

Exhaustion sets in.....

It is 5:oo in the morning and I am sitting up holding my sweet baby who doesn't want to sleep right now. This is possibly because he slept most of the day with me holding him and now laying in his bassinet doesn't sound like any fun. He is usually a good sleeper at night but wants to be held when ever he is awake during the day - or night! So to pass the time I decided to post some of his sweet pictures. Daddy is completely exhausted from us waking him up accidentally during the night - he doesn't even know the most of it! He actually tells people Asher sleeps through the night sometimes! This is because he does not always wake up when we do. Pretty funny!

First Bath

Asher had his first bath on 03/24/2009, which Nana gave him. He stretched out in the sink and really enjoyed the whole thing!

New Addition Has Arrived

Asher Jorgan Scott Arrington was born on 03/17/2009. He weighed 5 lbs 14 oz and is 18 inches long. He is perfect from his head to his toes and is basically a miniature Jonny. We went to a routine doctor's check up on 03/16/2009 and ended up not being able to go home because my blood pressure was too high and some of my lab values were abnormal. We went to the hospital for monitoring and ended up having to induce labor that night. He was born the next afternoon, a few weeks earlier than expected but without any problems for him.

Moab

We went to Moab March 11-14 for Spring Break. For those of you who are counting, yes I was 36 weeks (9 months) pregnant while we there. Of course I had doctor approval to be there. We had a lot of fun and rode over 200 miles on the trails of Moab. The scenery there is amazing and we had a lot of fun. Here are some pictures.

The trip was uneventful for the baby but there was a surprise when we got home! I will post this surprise next time I get a chance~

New Toy

We got a new toy for the baby (or the big boy since the baby won't be able to enjoy the present for 10 months or so). Is is a Polaris Ranger Razor which is a side-by-side. Basically a really fast go cart. We are going to sell my YFZ 450 (any takers) and I will now ride this because you can buckle a car seat in the passenger seat. Pretty fun and I know the baby will love it when he is actually big enough! In the mean time, we will really enjoy it. We took a four day vacation, over New Years and my birthday, to St. George where we road Sand Hollow and the Coral Pink Sand Dunes. It was a lot of fun and I even got to drive the Razor a little bit when the boys were not having their turns on the new toy!

This is me in the new toy with Gator (brother-in-law) in the passenger seat and Sean on the four wheeler (friend). Both of these boys are single if anyone is interested! :)

This is Jonny breaking in the new toy!

This is Jonny and I at Sand Hollow on new years day. You can't really tell from the picture but we are standing on a rock cliff. These dunes were like a mix of Moab and sand dunes. The sand dunes down there are a great red/orange color which was a lot of fun down there but now everything, including my washing machine, is now filled with it! I guess it is a change from the normal sand I deal with.
