8 Weeks...Fathers Day....and a new girlfriend!!

With it being a busy weekend between Jason's birthday and fathers day...you'd think we'd be busy with parties and such. Well, not so the case. It worked out that friday night Jason went on call. And of course we get a huge storm on friday night plus the hot weather = busy Jason. I feel bad and all that this happened on his birthday and fathers day...but I must say I love these kind of paychecks!! So thanks honey for working hard on your special days! So the only celebration we made it to was at my parents house and it was a pool party yesterday. Perfect perfect weather for that. We tried Hayden in the pool, but it was a little cold for him. In his own language he tried telling Papa to turn up the pool heater a few notches, but Papa wanted a collection to be taken first. :) Yesterday also marked 8 weeks for Hayden. Time is going way too fast! Here is his 8 week picture.

2 weeks ago my friend Tiffany welcomed her baby girl into this world. Meet Charley Olivia. She is just precious. We joke around that her and Hayden will be boyfriend/girlfriend some day. :) Either way they are both cuties. Hayden wasn't too excited for a picture with her as I had woken him from his sleep. And I of all people should know not to touch a sleeping baby. :)

Happy Birthday Jason!!

We hope that you had a great day!!



Emma helped me with Jason's cake. I'm not sure if more icing was on her or the cake. :)

The almost finished cake. I still have to write on it. I attempted to make it look like a fish-and it might when I get more decor on it. :)

Young Explorers

This past week Emma had the privilage of going to 'camp' at South Side Christian. What was even more awesome was that she was able to go with her friend Kennedy. They did all kids of activities...tossing water balloons and predicting where they'd land, making birds and flower vases out of clay, playing dress up, playing musical instruments and making camping snacks. It was a great way to prepare her a bit for what is to come this fall and I think it worked. As now she is excited to go to school!



Logan had the privilage of playing with Kooper and Kolter while the girls were at camp. He loved every minute of being able to play with Kooper!

Hayden, next year you'll be in that sand box as well!

Back in the Saddle Again

Well, this week marked my first 'official' week back to work. I've been working a few hours each week since Hayden was 2 weeks-but now I'm back on the schedule. Its different when I go in when no one is there and I can just get my stuff done--I get it done quicker and don't have to worry about the phones. :) My first day was a little rough for the kids...another change to their schedule. I'm sure next week will be much better. Thankfully I'm only doing 1/2 days, I think that works best with the kids. Anyways, other than going back to work, we've just been keeping busy with life! And trying to enjoy each moment with the kids as time flies way to quickly! Hayden is way more alert these days. His eye sight has come in and he is smiling and cooing more and more each day.

This picture Logan is showing Hayden his monster truck. Hayden was pretty excited until I got the camera out. Stinker!!


We've also been able to have Rickie over for a couple of hours. Emma and Logan loved it. Hayden wasn't really thrilled---as you can see.

This is just one of several attempts to get him smiling on camera!
