Going to a different Blogsite for Awhile

I just wanted everyone to know that for now, I will be publishing my blog on my Daddy's own website. It seems a little bit easier to work with. Daddy may change his mind, but for now, if you like, please go to the following address to check out my blog:

Take me out to the Ball Game!

Well, right now Daddy is watching "I Dream of Jeannie", so I decided to write a little bit about my day today. Sorry that it's been such a long time since we have chatted. Well, today, Mama, Daddy and I went to a Spring Training baseball game here in Tucson. My daddy was really happy that one of his dreams has been realized, he has taken his son to a baseball game! Well, it wasn't the Diamondbacks like we would have liked, but we saw the Colorado Rockies vs. the San Diego Padres. Mama made sure that she told me the story how daddy and mama ate dinner with Todd Helton last year. Of course, mama doesn't really understand the levity of this, but daddy was beside himself. Apparently he is a really good hitter. Unfortunately, I didn't see him play today, but that's ok, because we saw some really good baseball. It was a beautiful day for baseball, not too hot, and not too cold. Daddy even let me try out his favorite thing to do at a game, eating sunflowers! Daddy is kind of gross, and he eats them whole. Maybe that is why he gets stomach aches after games all the time. Well, I think my favorite part of the game was the 7th inning stretch, we all sang songs and danced around. I saw some good plays, but I didn't get to see any homeruns. Hopefully, we will be able to go to a lot of Diamondbacks games this summer, I really look forward to this.

Daddy says that I have a few years before I get to play baseball. I have seen pictures of daddy when he used to play baseball. It was his passion, and he truly wanted to play baseball for a career. He tells me though, that he really couldn't play that well, but he has some high hopes for me. I found a funny picture of daddy when he was playing baseball. He tells me that at ages 7, 8, and 9 he played for the Braves in minor league baseball, and for ages 10, 11, and 12 he played for the Dodgers in Little League. Then he played in what was called Senior League at ages 12 and 13 for the Rattlers.

Well, you probably wonder what else has been up in my life? I'm doing pretty well, I am now over 5 months old, daddy wants me to tell everyone that he is 500 months old this month, and that mama will be 420 months old this month also! I don't know if mama really wants daddy to tell every one this, but sometimes I think there was a reason why daddy didn't get married until he was 40 years old!!! :) I am just joking, I love my daddy alot. We are getting ready to go to Seattle later this week. We are going for my Grandpa Jim's memorial. I will get to see a lot of people up there, and daddy says that I will be going in something called an airplane! I am really excited, but mama and daddy are a bit nervous about it, because sometimes I tend to show my displeasure with things in a a rather vocal way... I don't know what the problem is with that, because everyone says that one should not hide their emotions.... I will see how it is, I definitely let everyone know what happens.

Well, I love you all, and hope to talk to you soon... Ashton James Nebeker

Just to Say Hello

Hi Everyone!

I just wanted to send a quick note to say that everything is all right, I have just been very busy learning how to roll-over, playing with my rattles and going to get my checkups lately. Daddy just wants me to tell you that I am 4 and 1/2 months old, and apparently, I am really tall for my age. When I got my 4 month check up (which I really would rather forget because of the evil shots), they found out that I am 27 inches tall and weight 15 pounds. Therefore my height is well above the 95th percentile and my weight is 50th percentile for babies my age. Daddy wants to rename me Yao Ming, but my mama doesn't really go for that too well. I am so sorry that I have to run, but Daddy has to go to work, apparently he keeps on saying something like "Come on now... Baby needs a new pair of shoes". I don't know what he means because him and I have an "understanding" that I won't have to wear shoes or socks until I am 3 years old. We won't tell mama about that though, will we???? I promise to write more soon,

Love,

Ashton James

Obama is the Prez

Well, today Barack Obama became president. I really don't know what that means, but Daddy says that I will learn all about it as I grow up. He says that one day I could be president, but he

reminded me that I will have to wait quite a few years before that can happen. 

Let me see, there has been alot happening since we last met. But first, I need to bring you up to date with other things. As you can see in the picture next to us, Mama and I enjoy taking naps together. Daddy says that we both snore (whatever that means), and that makes Mama very upset because she says that Daddy snores like a horse, and has no right to say anything otherwise!!! Daddy just makes a funny face when he hears this, and stomps off to somehwhere in the house. Apparently, this is what he did alot of when he was three years old. Grandma says that

daddy use to wear boots and would like to stomp them when he didn't get
what he wanted. I think that is so funny. However, I know that daddy
was one cool dude, check out the following picture:
So, Mama wanted me to mention that we got to meet some really nice
people last month. Right now, I cannot remember mama's friend's name (I
am totally sorry), but I do remember her cute daughter's name, her name
was Savanah. Oh my gosh was she a talker, but I really enjoyed playing
with her. I think Mama met her on the Internet, or something like that.

Savanah is from a place called Denver, Colorado..  That makes Daddy very happy because he says that is where the Broncos play football, and they are his favorite team.  But right now, he wants everyone to know that the Arizona Cardinals are his team for the next two weeks or more, because they are going somewhere called the Superbowl.  Daddy and I watched the Cardinals play the Eagles last weekend, and we were dancing, and jumping and everything. Daddy says that mama was being a real pooh-pooh because she didn't want us to get so excited about the game.  I really don't know what she was complaining about because I really enjoyed myself.  GO CARDINALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, OK, just one more thing about last year, and we will be all caught up.  On New Year's Eve, we all went to Gate's Pass to watch the sunset for the last time of 2008.  I really enjoyed 2008, because it was the year that I was born.  Couldn't get much better than that could it?  Well, Daddy has to go to work at 6 am tomorrow morning, and it's 10:07 pm already.  So let me show you one more picture and sign off.

I love you all, and remember to cheer for the Cardinals in the Superbowl......

Love, Ashton James Nebeker

Ashton, Daddy, and Jack Bauer

Hello Everyone!  

      Sorry that it has been such a long time since I have written, being so busy with the holidays, and getting baptized and stuff, I had a hard time sitting down to write.  Tonight I won't take a long time to write, but I will write more later.  Daddy's hands are tired from working as an engineer all day.  I wonder how big his train is that he rides.  He must have a lot of fun about it, but he seems not to be able to talk to mama alot about it.  Something about a lack of clearance or something like that.  I thought clearances were where mommies went to buy a lot of stuff for a little bit of money.  Well, I guess that is what Daddy is talking about.  

   Did everyone have a fun time during Christmas?  I sure did, we got to go to Daddy's home town of Kearny, and we stayed at Grandma and Grandpa Nebeker's house.  Also, Grandma Lynda got to Kearny with us.  It's funny when we go to Kearny, there is a funny Cat who lives at Grandma and Grandpa's.  Daddy says that the cat is really a dog, but I don't know what that means.  The strange cat make some loud sounds sometimes, and a really weird sounding purr.  Well, here is a picture of him, his name is Teddy:

Well, Santa was really good to me, and I got a lot of good presents.

Before Christmas, I was baptized at the same place that mama and daddy were married, and by the same priest, Father Liam.  I really like Father Liam, he is a funny guy, but at the same time, he makes me feel closer to God.  They say that there is nothing closer to God than a baby.  Well, I promise you that I will never take that saying as granted.  I would like to say thank you to my new Godparents, Gracie and Frankie Calderon.  Daddy tells me that Gracie was his first grade teacher way back in 1973-1974.  But back then her name was Gracie Jimenez.  Well, I feel honored to have them as my Godparents.

I have so much more to say, but Daddy says he is tired, and needs to go to bed.  Daddy and I have been watching his favorite TV show the last couple of nights, it is called 24...  It is so enthralling, I can't keep my eyes off of it.  Here is a picture of us watching the episode tonight:

Well, the show is awesome...  I really have to go, but I hope that everyone is doing well, and I will write soon.

Love,

Ashton James Nebeker
