Scenes From The Couch

This is the view I get. Look at that precious face!

Ok, this made me a little nervous…thankfully nothing happened.  But my idea of throwing a bunch of cheerios on the floor didn’t keep them as content as long as I thought it would. 

I thought I’d give this a try. 
I don’t want to do it every day…but this was a good method of keeping them entertained for a feeding. 

Hello smiley girl!

Wow…look at these angels.  This is really what happened during a whole feeding!

7 Weeks

Happy 7 weeks precious girl!  You’ve had a rough couple weeks though, with that crazy reflux stuff.  You’re growing like a champ but your poor tummy isn’t having a good time.  Hopefully we can get that figured out so you can be back to feeling good! 

Just for fun, here’s what your big bro’s have been up to.  Weston is doing some sort of sun dance, while Parker is deciding what him and Mr. Lion will do next.         

Sweet Lolly

Well we knew Lolly couldn’t stay for forever, but it’s still so hard to see her go.  Mom, like when the boys were born…you’re help this time was invaluable.  I’m thankful for all you do for us, but most of all I’m just glad you were here!  This is an exciting time for our family, and I couldn’t imagine a better way to spend welcoming our new little girl and watching our boys grow!   

You were here to celebrate my baby shower.

You were here for Thanksgiving and played lots of wrestle mania.

You took the boys on tons of wagon rides.

You were here when Avery was born.

You and Dad took care of the boys while we were in the hospital.

You did 5 millions of loads of laundry.

You were here for Christmas.

You and Mamu took the boys on lots of adventures.

You fed the boys LOTS of meals.

You rocked Avery to sleep almost everyday.

You washed 10 thousand dishes.

You danced with the boys in the living room.

You treated us to enough Chick-fil-a to last a life time, although I could still eat it tomorrow .

You had fun carrying the boys like an Egyptian.

We celebrated your birthday.

You made sure to follow through and take them outside every time you promised you would.

You turned your house into a special place for the kids.

We were able to enjoy Maw-Maw and Aunt Robin visiting.

Best of all you were there for all 3 at the same time reading the Little Blue Truck.

Mom, thank you so much for all you did! 

We all miss you already and can’t wait for you to come back!!

I love you!!

A special treat!

This past weekend we had some very special guests.  My maw-maw and Aunt Robin came to visit!  It was so great to have them here and I’m so glad the boys got to see them again and that Avery was able to meet them.  Thank you both for making the trip out west!! 

It was a great weekend with lots of hanging out with kids, good food, and a game of scrabble.

Maw-Maw meeting Avery

Aunt Robin meeting Avery.

Maw-Maw had quite the touch with Miss Avery, Avery loved to snuggle with her!  The boys also enjoyed running up to Maw-Maw and Avery.

  

Our game of Scrabble with some good and friendly competition. 

Aunt Robin reading with Weston, she has quite the magic grandma touch with our little ones.

Group shots

Just for fun, these were the group shots from last time Maw-Maw and Aunt Robin where here.

Thank you so much Maw-Maw and Aunt Robin for heading our way!  It was so great to be able to spend time with y’all!!

Field Trip #3

This was the boy’s last field trip (well maybe not the last ever, but Lolly has gone home now...so it will be a while till the next one) with Lolly and Mamu who were on boo-boo patrol, while I was home with Miss Avery.  It was such a treat to know I had a day where the boys would have a blast and I would have the opportunity to rest and be home with Avery.  This time they went to the Rose Garden and then to Organ Stop Pizza.
 

So they didn’t get a huge smile with the roses, I think the more exciting part is coming up.

Weston                                                                       Parker
Ok, so maybe looking at roses isn’t the most fun.

But I know what is…running around a rose garden!

It’s also super fun to take Parker for a wagon ride.

The pictures in Organ Stop were a little blurry, but I wanted to post them anyways…just for fun.  But they said the boys did great.  It took them a couple minutes to get used to the music...but overall they thought it was pretty cool!

    

Hooray again to Mamu and Lolly!  Thank you so much!!  If they boys could talk, they would say “thank you” too.  And I’m not quite sure if Avery would say… “hey, I want to go too.” or “thank you, I love spending time with mommy.”  Either way…thank you from me!!
