Love sleeping baby

Normally I don't put pictures up of me (especially when it is nighttime and I look like death) but I love the sweetness of this picture. Couldn't you just eat those cheeks! I do all the time. Poor kid gets mama moochies all the time... good thing he loves me.

So peaceful. You wouldn't be able to tell by this picture that he is teething. I love sleeping baby!

Happiness is a warm blanket

Matthew is my Linus from Charlie Brown. This blanket has been with him since he was born. He loves this blanket. The only problem is this blanket has so many holes in it. In fact, Matthew has made handles in it to carry it around. My mom convinced him that he needed to get rid of it. She even bought him a green (his favorite color) blanket. He was all for the new blanket and to get rid of the old one until it was bedtime. He had the hardest time going to sleep and all because he didn't have his comfort. Once we gave it back, he slept fine. One day I will be able to cut this blanket up and put it in his baby book... but that might not be until high school!

Easter 2011

The Easter bunny visited our house again this year. He was very generous and must have been thinking we were in Spring because he brought all summer clothes for the kids.

This was Jacob's first easter and it really wasn't a big deal for him. haha. Actually he had fun watching the kids run around picking up goodies.



This picture is cute. Jacob looks like he is saying pick me mom when in reality he was ready to grab sister's hair!


This where the Easter hunting begins at our house. The Easter bunny always leaves the new Easter baskets at the end of the hall. This year though the Easter bunny was afraid that the kids would fight over eggs and came up with a great solution. He made sure Kimberly had leopard eggs to pick up and Matthew had baseball eggs to pick up. Clever Easter bunny!
So pretty. She picked out the dress all by herself this year. I think she did a great job (except the dress left sparklies all over anything it touched. By the time church was done, we all were sparkly, even Jacob.


So handsome. Man he is growing up big. Love him so much.

All ready for Easter at church mom! I love him!



Happy Easter!

Dance 2010-2011

Another year of dance has just ended and boy was it fun but exhausting. I am super glad that I found this dance company for Kimberly's first few years of dance. It wasn't a wallet buster and we got to find out if she has a talent for it. This year we also had Kimberly take tumbling and we found she is a little wimp.. haha. No she just doesn't have much arm strength. But by the time she was done with tumbling, she could do all the things they asked of her. I was very proud of her.

This year the dance theme was 80s. How fun for mom to live out those 80 songs again.

This is Kimberly with her teachers Kelbie and Kenzie. They also taught her tumbling.

The theme was 80s and so we had 80 hair. The bigger the better. Kimberly enjoyed that.

She was loving the 80s look.

I have to vent about this picture.... during the review we as parents don't have to do anything but watch and take pictures and what not. Back stage, there are many helpers that will get our girls dressed. Well this was Kimberly's last outfit and take a look at that bow. We had to make those bows ourselves and I am not the crafty type of gal. I did it though and I was pretty proud of my bow. Well when Kimberly came out on stage, the bow was FLAT! Totally should have been poofed up but nope... I was so bummed cause I worked hard on that bow. I asked Kim and she didn't know what happened. My guess is she sat on it! haha. Oh well.. Just had to vent!


Dance was great but grateful for a 4 month break!

How tired do you have to be to fall asleep on a racket. This cannot be comfortable!

Fun stuff

1st time eating rice cereal. He actually didn't mind it. He is the first kid to not mind rice cereal.

He loves the lights, the noise, and the fact he can pound on this toy. Oh and he loves to sit up.

Cutie pie!

Matthew acting silly but love Jacob and Kimberly watching him.

So happy. Kimberly doing Jacob aerobics.

Jacob 4 months old

Tell me he isn't determined. Jacob first rolled over 5 days before turning 4 months old. This is a week later and look at what he can do. I am seeing a future for this kid... if he is this determined at 4 months, what he will achieve later in life!
