Happy Mother's Day


Happy Mother's Day!


Some pics of my beautiful Tess in one of her new dresses! It is so nice to have some warm weather so she can wear some of her beautiful summer clothes! (I love having a girl to dress up!)

So.... We have had an interesting week leading up to Mother's day. My cute brother and sister-in-law found out last week that a baby had just been born that was their's to adopt. They were beyond excited and flew out to North Carolina to pick up their new baby boy. But... apparently it wasn't meant to be their little boy after all. After much disappointment they flew back home with their baby carrier empty and all their baby clothes still folded neatly in their suitcases. Luckily they were able to come home and be comforted by their enthusiastic little 18 month old Drew. We love you Mike and Steph and know that there will be another baby coming to your little family soon.

On a happier note... Jeff and Haylee found out Friday that they would be having a boy in September! Hooray! They will be wonderful parents and we are thrilled to have yet another boy in the family. And congrats Jeff on your excellent job on the DAT.
Happy Mother's day Grandma Tori!
Drew giving Tess a kiss. Does it look like he is ready to be an older brother or what!

Happy Mother's Day Grandma Sallie!!! Wish we could be closer to you!

We love you Grandma Sallie! (with all the cousin's except Mason who is asleep :( )

The most beautiful children in the world! - in my unbiased opinion

First day of May and it's snowing!!

It's the first day of May and I have my brand new bike trailer to hit the road with my kiddos and it's snowing! But Charlie and Mason had fun with it anyway. They both sat in it with their juice cups and watched backyardagains.

We have been so busy the last few weeks. We are almost done with our basement. We are starting to do the trim work. Burke is in the middle of a bear hunt. (can you believe it! and he's hunting it with his bow!) We just finished the Pinewood Derby with my scouts last night. and our little Tessa got hand, foot and mouth disease! She had a fever of 102 and big canker sores all over in her mouth! It was awful. She cried and cried for about 3 days straight and it is extremely contagious so I got to sit home and hold her while Mason was bored out of his mind and jealous because I was holding her all day. It was awful. But she's doing great now and has learned to crawl. Hooray!

We got a "bounce house" for Mason for the backyard this year. I wanted to show a few cute pictures of him.





And... Last weekend, Burke had the chance to drive some awesome cars. Check these out!
