LIAM IS 3 MONTHS OLD

Well I have been bad about sending out pictures of Liam each month but I am trying to put him on the blog. I know I'm a little late but here are a few pictures of our big boy. He is so a good baby and we just love seeing how he changes daily. He weighs about 14 pounds and is about 24 1/2 inches long. He is starting to reach for his toys more and likes to laugh at his big sister. We thank God everyday that we were able to have him and bring him into this wonderful world. We think that Liam is starting to look like his dad, you will have to let us know who you think he looks like.

Day at the Park

We decided to go to the park on Sunday because the weather was nice...What I din't realize is how muddy it was going to be. As you can see in the pictures, Addison was covered in mud but had a blast..I guess that is why they invented washing machines. Can't wait for the weather to get really nice so Liam can enjoy being outdoors too. The bottom pictures is Liam just hanging out when we got back.

Chloe's 2nd Birthday

We went to Grinnell, IA over the weekend to celebrate my brother Josh's daughter, Chloe's 2nd birthday. The kids had a blast making cupcakes, swimming, blowing bubbles and just hanging out. It seems hectic sometimes with 6 kids under 3 but it is also really fun. As you can see they all have their own personalities and really are all great kids. I know Grammie Margueritte and Papa Jim think so..

St. Patrick's Day

Just ready to take the kids to daycare, and thought we would capture a couple kandid photos. We weren't about to let them get pinched.

Where's Liam?

Addison and I were just checking out the blog site and she thought that Liam needed a little love....So here's a pic of Liam from about a month ago.

Testing to see if I can post an update to the blog via email from my phone.

Liam Laughing

Liam has figured out how fun it is to laugh...We shot this video a couple of hours ago and thought we'd share this with you.

Addison Feeding Liam Soup...Imaginary Soup That Is...

This is our first attempt at uploading video to the our blog...Let's see how it works.

More Gymnastics!!!

Well, another week of gymnastics has come and gone for Addison. Four of eight weeks down for this session. She seems to be jumping back into things very well. As we said before, Addison had about a 1 year hiatus and after the 1st session back, Mom and Dad wondered if she was going to get back into the swing of things...sure enough, she did! After this past week, I think she feels it is somewhat of a routine now...She knows the other kids and the instructors don't look like strangers to her anymore. She keeps saying, "I want to go in the big room!"...the room where the older kids are...That room has all of the cool toys, trampolines, swinging bars, etc...Well, this Friday she may get her wish...Friday nights are open gym! Should be fun!

Chris, Kim, Peyton, & Allyse come to visit

Chris, Kim, Peyton and Allyse came out to visit us this past weekend. Addison and Peyton are quite the pair...They play and fight like sisters...ha...Other than the expected arguments over toys (as if we don't have enough for the both of them!), they had a blast. Here are a few pictures from the weekend.

(wonder who is supposed to be supervising them???)

Peyton and Addison watching the movie "Up" just before bedtime...I think they stole the bumbo seats from Allyse and Liam...

Afternoon snack time! Yummy!

Allyse having fun in the jumper!
