A Fun Week

It's been a fun, eventful week. At least for the kiddos. :) The end of last week, and over the weekend Tony was stuck in LA because of the snow. We didn't do too much, and tried to catch up on Sunday from the hectic week. Monday and Tuesday we had friends over to play. The kids love to have their friends over! Jaden and Luke had tons of fun on Monday. They just love each other so much. Aubrey and Caleb had fun yelling back and forth for from their seats at each other. Reese and Baylee enjoyed putting on all of the slippers they could find. I think Baylee liked to have a girl over to play for a change! Although, poor Matthew wasn't sure about all of the girlie things they wanted to do. Wednesday night we headed out to Costco for groceries and got Aubrey some new jammies. He just keeps growing out of clothes faster than we can buy them! Here he is with Tony, modeling his 12 month old size. This picture of Baylee just cracked me up. Unlike her brothers, she appreciates a good nap. She adores her sheep pillow her Aunt Julie gave her! Often, I have to wake her up from her naps because she will just sleep all afternoon and not want to go to bed. This is one of those times. She still wouldn't wake up after I snapped a few pics so I sent Jaden in. He always gets the job done!
This afternoon, Jaden and I decided to make some cookies. He loves to help me cook. He always asks what each ingredient is, and what it does. I'm not always sure how to answer him. He likes to know that sugar makes the cookies sweet, and eggs hold them together, and baking soda helps them rise... beyond that I think I might have to take a physics class to be able to just do day to day things with the child.




His favorite part is definitely eating them though. He kept saying, "Thanks mommy, this is my favorite!" "I love a got to eat cookies!" "We have to eat all the cookies, right mommy?"
It is so much fun being a mom!

Maximum Capacity


Tonight was Aubrey's first time in the big tub with his brother and sister! He loved it. They loved it too. He got splashed a little more than he's used to, but he was a trooper, smiling the whole time. They were really excited that he was in with them, but its sure getting crowded in there!

Cell Phone Camera



Okay, I finally figured out how to get the pictures I take with my cell phone, off of my cell phone. I know I'm a little behind the times, but I'm really excited! I have so many on there that I'm out of memory and have to delete one every time I want to take one. I knew Steven and Anne would be proud of me so I had to post this picture of my little man, taken with my cell phone this afternoon! (Right after he rolled over for the second time, by the way!) Don't be suprised if a lot of small, low quality pictures from the past 18 months start showing up on the blog. :)

Happy New Year!


Well, the first week of our year hasn't been that fabulous. We started out OK, but then our little Aubrey got a cold. I took him to the Dr. on Wednesday and he tested positive to RSV. Off to the hospital we went! We spent 3 days and 2 nights there, they let us come home on Friday. He's doing much better. He has to take these breathing treatments twice a day, but luckily he quite enjoys them. He smiles and coos while I'm giving it to him. He was a little trooper, and the Lord blessed us throughout the ordeal with many opportunities to see His sovereignty at work. Thankfully, I have wonderful parents who took over caring for Jaden and Baylee while Tony and I took care of Aubrey. Thanks mom and dad! We appreciate it more than you know. Anne was also very sweet, she showed up at the hospital before Aubrey and I even got there(she was waiting outside of our room when we arrived), and she stayed and reassured me (having been through it twice before) until Tony could get there. She also brought me a wonderful lunch on Thursday! A welcome break from hospital food. :) Thanks, Anne. Hopefully the rest of our year will be a little less eventful! We are very happy to be home with our little man.
