Getting Around

Noah has been on the move these days! He has started pulling up onto his feet in his crib! This morning I found him underneath his exersaucer! He apparently had no problem getting in, but couldn't get out! We're having to keep an extra close eye on him!

Standing up: And what's with the tounge? He sticks it out ALL the time!


When I got him out of the exersaucer, he turned around and tried to get right back in! Silly boy!

Oh, and I have to tell you this story:

Noah is at that stage where he puts everything in his mouth. He had a piece of paper yesterday and was about to eat it. Cody is such a good big brother that he took the paper away from him and was going to throw it away. Well, Noah started to cry becuase Cody took his paper. As Cody walked away, he said "Noah, I love you too much to argue with you!"

It was so funny! That's what we say to Cody when he starts to argue with us. My kids are so much fun!

The Month of June

I took several of pictures last month. I just didn't post them weekly like I should have. So I'm going to give them to you all at once.

Noah has been trying to pull up. He can get to his knees-but not quite on his feet yet. He doesn't ever want to lay down anymore now that he can crawl and get into a sitting position by himself. He can be SO tired and he still wants to be up where he can see what's going on.


Cody and his cars...

Cody and his cars again...
So this one might need explaining. While I normally don't allow my children to play with store merchandise, I couldn't resist taking this picture. I was in Ross looking at curtains and Cody was behind me and he says "Look mom, I'm a lamp"!
Cody and his cars... (he likes the real one to play in the best)
We got a 'cousin picture' when Robin was in town. It is so hard to get 4 kids to look at the camera at the same time!

Great-grandparents!

Cody and Noah's great-grandparents and uncle came to visit us. Robin and her sweet babies came too! They had fun with all of their great-grandsons.


Look at Noah trying to help feed the baby!

Cody had a good time throwing the football with his Uncle Ricky. (When he wasn't playing in the car) Sometimes he caught the ball...
Sometimes he didn't...

A Fun Mess

Hi All!

SO sorry that it's been so long since I've posted anything here. I've had good intentions but I've been lazy! I've been 'doing school' with Cody some and today we did a fun activity. We took shaving cream and put it on a cookie sheet to practice writing letters. Noah joined in the fun! Thanks to Oma for the supplies!

I plan on really starting school after the summer is over. Well, Cody is 4 now and I guess it's time for preschool! He is SO ready to learn! He loves the little bit we do now and he's well on his way to reading! He can sound out some words and he asks us what words say all the time. I will definitely post our school days! Wish me luck!

Just a side note: Do you see the awsome tile floors in my house?!? This was Thomas' Mothers Day present to me. He did a great job! I'm thrilled to not have carpet in my dining room anymore because kids+food+carpet don't mix!

Brian and Wesley's Birth Day!

Here are pictures of Robin's beautiful babies! Brian was born today (5/12) at 3:54am and weighed 4lb 14oz. Wesley was born at 3:55 and weighed 5lb. Both boys are 18 1/2 inches long. Robin is doing great! The boys are in the NICU for a few days but they are both healthy. From what I understand, they are in the NICU because of their weight. Robin says they could be there from 3-7 days depending on how they do. Thomas and I got to go see her this afternoon and she was holding them for the first time. She was so sweet with them and they are so little! And both have very blonde hair! Congrats Robin and Aaron! We love you!

This is Wesley:

Cody's Birthday Party

We had a wonderful birthday party for Cody today! I can't beleive that he's already turning 4! Where did my baby go? He's just the best kid and God couldn't have given us a sweeter boy! (Well, Noah is pretty sweet too though). Cody invited some friends from his bible class and they all had a great time playing. We are so blessed to have good friends!

Eating Toes!

I've been trying to get a good picture of Noah eating his toes. He does it ALL the time! So I went to get a video of him, and of course, Cody couldn't help but get in the photos too! And if Noah is getting attention by looking cute and eating his toes...guess what Cody is going to do?!?
