Ash Family

Nathaniel and Crystal met in the year October 2001 and married on June 25, 2002. We then lived in a condo and then became pregnant. We sold the condo and lived with parents for about 10 months. While we where living with parents, Crystal gave birth to our first child in September. We named him Jarom. He was a big and healthy boy. His father Nathaniel had never been so proud in his life. Shortly after we had bought a home in Sandy. Good thing too! We found out we where pregnant with our second child. Rachel was born in April, so Jarom and Rachel are 18 1\2 months apart. We were so happy to have this addition to our little family. It has been so much fun watching the two of them play and grow together. Shortly after Jarom had started school for his delay in speech. It has been really good for him and for me. It has been good to let him make friends and that I haven't been able to "Mother" him. He has actually become a little more social. Rachel is jealous and wants to go to school with him. Rachel has become a little chatterbox and a social butterfly. She is all over the place and can't hold still for a second. We now find ourselves in 2007, where last April, we have found ourselves with another beautiful baby girl. Happy Birthday Bekie!! Emily Ann came into our lives and we find our little family is growing bigger and bigger. Jarom and Rachel are big helpers and love Emily to death, they love to sit and hold her, help change diapers, they always tell us if Emily is awake and crying. Jarom especially has become very protective of Rachel and Emily. If anyone out of our family holds Emily, Jarom is right there and watches that person like a hawk. Jarom enjoys doing any kind of art. It doesn't matter if it is Chalk, paint, pencil, crayons. It is all fun to him. He especially loves to sit and draw with Nathaniel. He has also discovered video games and is a true boy with that. He loves to play on the computer or on his Playstation. If he could, he would do that all day. Rachel loves to read, or be read to, and loves to dance. She dances around the house and has special shoes she wears when she dances. Rachel still loves to follow Jarom around and does what he has to do. They are both so cute and most of all they love to be outside. Emily will turn 4 months old on the 4th of August and is trying to sit up on her own and roll over. She has rolled from her stomache to her back once already. Whether she meant to or not I don't know. Again, it has been fun especially to watch the kids play together and with Emily. All three of them love more than anything to play and be around their father. The hightlight of the day for them is when Nathaniel comes home or calls. They love to talk to him on the phone. As for Nathaniel he is a wonderful father and supporter, who loves his family more than they will ever know! He also enjoys taking the kids swimming, just playing with them, enjoys art, but wishes that he had more time to do it. He also enjoys being out in nature.
