Baby Update

Bryce and I visited the doctor this morning and heard our little baby's heart beat at 168 beats per minute. Bryce was amazed and held my hand the entire time; he can't wait for Blake to get home from school to tell him all about it.
Also, my blood pressure was great, 102/67. For those of you who remember my last 2 pregnancies this is an all time low. Looks like a great start and we are praying that this pregnancy results in ZERO complications.

Blake's Latest

Blake has become quite the entrepreneur and opened up a Boot store in my living room. He is selling gently used boots for anywhere from $1 - $10, quite the bargain for boots I already own! He tried hard to bargain with Uncle Sean asking him to give him the boots off his feet AND pay $10 real money. Needless to say Uncle Sean left with his boots and his $10, better luck next time Blake.

Proudly displaying his selection

Another big happening in Blake's life is learning to ride his bike without training wheels. He is doing great, but is quick to put his feet on the ground when he gets nervous.

Before the hate mail begins . . . I know he is not wearing a helmet, his helmet from last year doesn't fit his big melon, so we went out that day and bought a new one.

Go Blake, Go!

PS -- I think the action shots of Tim are quite funny, too :)

Pajama Party

Blake had a pajama party brunch on Saturday for his 5th Birthday and everyone was required to come in pajamas.

Here we are ready for the fun to begin

Pa with the boys

Blake got a little shy when we were singing to him

Then he was just down right confused because I put trick candles that kept relighting on his cupcakes

Blake received many great presents thanks for our friends and family. This BIG one pictured here was an RC truck from the Woolmans. How many girls does it take to get the truck out of the box?

Baby Lia even enjoyed herself

Happy Birthday to Aunt Erica this past Sunday!!

We played with Quinn while her and Uncle Sean went on a date and we had so much fun

Blake & Bryce love to help

This move is called the Three Man Bottle Feed

Must Read!

Life with 2 is so much fun
We laugh, we snuggle, we play & run
We look in to their big blue eyes
The love we feel is not disguised
Blake & Bryce bring us so much joy
Why not add another boy?
Or maybe a girl that would be fine
We’ll find out October 1, 2009
A family of 5 we soon will be
That’s right we’re expecting Baby #3

Baby #3 is waving Hi to everyone and can't wait to meet all of you!

We are thrilled to be 10 weeks pregnant and this is one of the ultrasound pictures from today. The baby was SO cute bouncing around in there, waving to us, and kicking his little feet. So much fun to see :) The boys are beyond excited and have many many questions (yikes) that we are trying our hardest to answer in an appropriate manner. The heart beat was 174 and everything looks great so far. We will keep you posted!

Also, a big congratulations to my cousin who is also pregnant and due the same exact date we are. We are so happy for them :)

Lil Slugger

Tim (I mean we) got Blake a new T ball set, baseballs, batting gloves, and a real T ball bat for his birthday. Luckily the weather wasn't too bad today and he was able to try it out.

Nice Swing

Need a little work on sliding into home

He was really getting a hold of the ball and having a lot of fun with it. Now how do we decide between soccer and T ball for the spring???

My 5 year old Man

Happy 5th Birthday, Blake! He woke up this morning and said, "I'm a 5 year old Man, I can't believe it!" It just doesn't seem possible that 5 years have gone by since we first met our baby Blake. We loved him from the start and are so proud of the boy he has become. Our cuddly, kind hearted, sensitive boy brings so much joy and love to our lives. We thank God every day for such a wonderful blessing.
