100th Day of School

Gavin's 100th day of school is coming up, and his teacher asked that the kids each decorate a t-shirt with 100 of something on it. Gavin decided to use these guitar and star stickers. Here he is showing his jammin' out pose. He's pretty excited to wear it to school next week.

New Year's Eve

We spent New Year's Eve with Jason's brother and family. We had a good time playing games with the kids and snacking on good food and visiting. Here's a picture of all the kids excited to stay up late. The cousins love each other...Aidan and his cousin, Taylyn, are especially good buddies :)

Better Late Than Never...

Here we are over half-way through January, but it's better late than never, right? Here are a few highlights of Christmas 2010 for us...

Aidan sat on a bow and I had to take a picture...he did this his first Christmas too when he was just crawling around on the floor...guess he likes to be festive!


The kids got a hover toy from Santa.

Jason loves swords...he was surprised to get this sword from Dad and Laurie. He's obviously excited about it :)

Aidan was really excited to find a flashlight in his stocking.

Aidan LOVES Elmo...

Connor's been scheduling things in his new calendar including scheduled dates with Daddy ;)

Aidan loves to ride his new indoor bike/video game...works good for exercise when it's too cold to go outside which has been almost every day lately.

The big boys love to play their new drums and guitar...jammin' out like rock stars!




I realized I didn't take pictures of quite a few things, but we just want to say thank you for all the gifts from extended family...we were really spoiled this year and had a really fun Christmas.

New Ultrasound

I had another ultrasound last week because during the usual routine ultrasound last month, the little baby wouldn't move his hands away from his face so the ultrasound tech couldn't check his palate and also had trouble checking one section of his heart. During this ultrasound last week, it was easy to see everything was great with his heart, but the stubborn little guy still wouldn't move his arms from in front of his face...I guess he likes to sleep like that! I like to sleep like that too sometimes so he must get it from me. Finally, after the ultrasound tech bounced on my belly with the ultrasound tool enough times that he finally slid his arms over to the side of his face. Luckily, everything looks great with his palate too. I drew an outline around the same "face" picture to help those of you who are having trouble being able to tell what you're looking at. I know it looks a little silly, but I hope the outline helps so when you look at the picture above it, it makes sense.
