Easter 2008






We hosted Easter at our home this year. It was chilly, but the sun came out in the afternoon.




We had all the nephews here and boy, it's enough to wear you out!

The Easter bunny came and we gathered eggs outside after naptime. I think everyone had fun, I know I did.



Ziek's 2nd birthday party

We had Ziek's 2nd birthday party on Saturday. The theme for it was CARS. me. We had a GREAT turn out and an AWESOME time!





My friend Mandy made a race track birthday cake for us, it was very cool!


Ziek got lots of great presents and toys, many of which make noises (we'll be bringing those toys to your house to play with).

Lots of fun was had by all, and I for one am sure glad it's over!

:)








I got in trouble . . .


My mom says "Where's my picture with the boys?"


Here ya go, mom.

"Toofers"

It's March!!!
And so far (knock on wood) we've all been "healthy."

The big news is that Kelton has 2 teeth popping through his bottom gums. He's six and a half months old now and growing like a weed!

We weighed him a few weeks ago and he was around 19.5 pounds. He's sitting (with a little help) and rocking back and forth. When he sits on your lap he loves to throw his body forwards and then back to create this rocking motion. He is so strong!

He can also hold himself up with his arms while his tummy and legs stay on the ground, almost like he's doing yoga position.

He likes to be near us, and if we leave the room he lets us know we are MISSED!
He smiles all the time and is such a happy baby.

However, we have this little problem with his burping . . . he still spits up and some times it's projectile! So, I've scheduled an appointment in Columbia to have him tested for acid reflux. I'm afraid he's inherited this from Brett. He's gaining weight- no problems there- it's just that he coats us with spit up EVERY time he eats.

Speaking of eating, he's eating baby foods now. We're in the first foods- carrots, green beans, peaches, pears, applesauce, bananas, prunes, and sweet potatoes. He likes them all!

The photo is of my dad, my boys & my nephews taken the last weekend of February. Dad is holding Connor (3 months) and Kelton (6 months). Chandler (4) is standing next to him.
So cute! Levi (4) is on the left side with Kole (3) on the right side. Ziek (2 & not smiling) and Trey (1) are sitting.
