Joseph:
Joseph is coming up on his five-year mark with Dow Chemical and now works as a process control engineer for a plant. His fantasy football team is doing very well this year and he hopes to win the league. He continues to serve as the Young Men's President in the Spanish congregation in town.
Casie continues to teach for BYU-Idaho in the child development department. Aside from teaching, Casie stays home with Ashton and Tanner. Some hobbies include playing volleyball with the church league, sewing clothes and things for the kids, planning events for her calling as Young Woman's President, and trying new recipes.
Ashton:
Ashton turned four in September and continues to learn and grow quickly. Her current favorites include Disney princesses, dress-up, writing letters to people, and riding her two-wheeler. Her reading skills are picking up and she looks forward to being able to read books by herself. Ashton attends a local preschool and thoroughly enjoys playing with her friends there. She is our social butterfly and knows all the neighborhood dogs and kids by name. She aspires to be a space astronaut and pet trainer (preferably to train pets to go to outer space).
Tanner is approaching 2 next month and is all boy! This kid is constantly moving, climbing, running, etc. Nothing slows him down. He loves riding his tricycle outside and is about ready to move to a balance bike. His verbal skills are starting to pick up and he has about 20-30 words he uses intermittently. Over the last few weeks, he's worked hard to put a few words together. Often, it is, "River, out" or "Molly, NO!" He loves doing anything that annoys his big sister. Tanner also enjoys food, building towers, reading football books, playing at the park, and making his family laugh.
We are welcoming our third child into our family in March. It's a little girl and Ashton is over the moon about that. We're getting ready (as much as we can) to be outnumbered as parents. It will be fun to get all of Ashton's baby clothes out and see them on another girl. We're praying she delays her arrival until her due date so Joseph can finish his chemical plant's turnaround (where he works 12 hour shifts, 6-7 days a week for about 4-6 weeks). We'll see how well she does at listening considering both her siblings arrived 2-3 weeks early.
