Toys

Apparently a baby toy isn't just for babies...I caught the older two boys having just as much fun with it! :)

Sprinkler Fun

The boys and I played outside in the sprinkler today as summer begins. Zach sat in his bouncy chair and enjoyed watching the boys play and laugh. It felt nice outside!

Mother's Day

We had a fun filled day today as my family came over to visit us (with Pappadeaux in tote!). We decided it had been too long since our last set of pictures were taken, so we took some pictures (some are posted below). Hope everyone enjoyed their day!!

Bluebonnets

It's Texas tradition to get bluebonnet pictures and well...one out of three of our boys cooperated! Austin was the only one who wanted to see the beautiful Texas flower. Zach and Jake decided it would be a better idea to cry and throw fits. Got to love kids! Thankfully mommy is the photographer, so I didn't have to dish out a bunch of money for the non-cooperating family pictures to be taken! Austin did a wonderful job and here are a couple of pictures:

Isaac - 4 months

Isaac had his 4 month appt today and he weighs in at 17lbs and 26.5 inches! 75% for both weight and height. He isn't rolling over yet, but we are working on it! He is still nursing like a champ and sleeping through the night. Here are recent pics:

Isaac - 2 months

Isaac had his 2 month appt today and everything went well! He weighs a whopping 14lbs - yes he has doubled his weight in just 2 months! He is 23.5 inches long. He is sleeping through the night fairly well and is starting to lift his head. Here are new pics:

Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!!!

Isaac - 1 month

Isaac had his one month appt today. He weighs 9 pounds and 7 ounces! Way to grow little guy. Here are some pictures:











And here are the two older brothers (Aus being sneaky in the back)

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year everyone! 2008 has blessed us with a lot of wonderful things and we hope 2009 will treat us the same. To recap the year here is a list:

1) Jake's first birthday! The boys enjoyed their combined birthday party at Fun Jump'n Max!
2) After 5 months of trying for baby number three (aka Baby Tres) we were expecting another baby in January!
3) One of my best friends from Chicago came down to visit!
4) David got an amazing job offer from Klotz Associates to be a part of their design team. We sold the house in just a month and moved on over to Cypress, Texas. It was a huge leap of faith for us, but it has been the best decision all around for us! David is doing amazing things with Klotz such as expanding Hwy 290, expanding the southwest part of Beltway 8, designing Bluewater Hwy (which was destroyed by Ike), and even is broadening his horizons by getting into airport design this year! We are proud of you David for your wonderful work!
5) Austin and I went up to Chicago to stay with Heidi and her boys. Austin's first plane ride was a blast! Even though it was the scariest plane ride for me (we flew through the storm that was flooding the midwest), Austin thought it was fun and loved going "up and down like a roller coaster!" Boys will be boys!
6) We took our first family trip to San Antonio!
7) David and I celebrated our 5 year wedding anniversary! He planned a surprise trip to NYC! I hear I might have a small surprise trip being planned for our next anniversary as well!
8) We were fortunate to have very minor damage from Hurricane Ike.
9) David and Austin went up to Missouri to visit with David's family. Austin still talks about his cousin and great grandma!
10) I went into pre term labor and had to be hospitalized and placed on meds and full bed rest. But - thank the Lord - about a week after I came off of my meds and bed rest we finally were able to welcome ISAAC into our world!! He is such a blessing to our growing family!
11) It snowed in Houston!! The boys loved their first snow!

Future Cooks

The boys enjoy helping David make dinner. Tonight on the menu was meatloaf, onion roasted potatoes, and good ole' mac and cheese!
