Besides Birthday...

here are some other things we have been doing lately.

The kids enjoy being outside and taking turns on the swing. (note their matching outfits :))







I watched the boys one afternoon and Logan decided he wanted to go with us.
*- we were all dressed in yellow but its hard to see in the photo
*-Wesley hanging out in the van with me. (no, we were not moving we were in a parking lot.. moter off!)
*- Isabelle and Shaen at the Library reading program. We try to go once a week and she hears a story and they make a craft :)
*-a few weekends ago, Chris Isabelle and I met up with some family and friends at went to the local circus.
*-Im borrowing one of jessica's wraps and here isabelle is on my back :) (she is seriously the queen of wrapping)










Wesley after his birthday party looking at his presents and cards. He loved the card that makes sounds when you open it. Sounded like a truck reving up to take off! All of these are from my camera phone so pardon the poor quality. I enjoy them either way!

More :)

The kids playing with one of wesleys new toys. It looks like she is being sweet and holding his precious hand, but she isnt. She is keeping him from touching and moving the parts off!







More birthday fun :)

1.. Already?

Just a few photos of Yesterdays wee birthday party.
I took like, no photos! I am counting on family who snapped photos to send me some :)(Aunt Nicky? Jessica?)

Thanks Mallory for the incredible
cute cake! (call Mallory for all your baking needs- (shameless -promotion) Thank you grandma for the chicken salad!
We had a good time and Wesley enjoyed being passed around by friends and family. He also seemed to like his cake :) Altho he was tired he still enjoyed some good icing :)

I had asked if anyone wanted to bring something besides a card, bring something to give to our local PRC. Several brought clothes and toys and stuffed animals and thanks Aunt S. for the money donation! I was blessed that everyone was so thoughtful and generous. Wesley walked away with a few nice gifts and some neat cards too! Isabelle received some good stuff too! :) Both of them got a coordinating USA clothes! They are gonna look so cute! (there were a few items, one for Wally and one for the PRC that had no tag or card with it.. im on the hunt..?)

Almost 1

Here our big man is almost 1 years old! He still thinks he is a baby, so we think he is still a baby. We will probably be calling him Baby wesley for like.. 10 years!

See if you don't think he is 'such a baby' too! He is a precious sweet baby!



He still curls his feet up just like he did as a newborn!

Stories

I rarely put up funny stories from the kids. Once it happens I try to make it a permanent impression in my mind so when im 80 with purple hair I can think back to how these babies have blessed us. Also, its hard to retype up a good story. so for the mean time how about a video.
***ok so i cant get the video to work so chris will have to work on that later.. check back for some video!***

OatMeal

I tried giving Wesley his oatmeal yesterday morning. He threw a fit! I wasn't sure at first what the big deal was.. then I discovered. He wanted to be a big boy. He didn't want his moma feeding him! So Between Isabelle and himself, this is what happend! So much fun, but wow what a mess! The floor was twice as bad!

A Blessed Easter

We had a wonderful easter, altho easter 'eve we weren't sure it was going to work out for us. Chris went to bed that night with a fever. He always done this every spring just this particular way. Anyways, I didn't want chris to miss easter service.. I didn't want to go to easter with just me and the kids but Thank the Lord, chris' fever broke just intime to drag himself outta bed!
Anyways, I really enjoyed Mikes msg. That will be up avaible later at http://parklandchapel.org/

We went back to my parents house after church. Mom had fixed Soo much food. It was soo nice and tasted excellent! She had worked for days to get the house ready for crawling babies and running big kids and food for canivars and vegans alike!
The guest list include My grandma, Mom and Dad, Andy Kristy and the boys, Jessica, Steven and baby and my family! Then a bit later some friends stopped by, Josh and Mallory (Or isabelle would say mannery) She satisfied my taste with a beautiful home-made Carrot Cake. I had been craving and thinking about a carrot cake for weeks so she so willingly and kindly made it.. I like to think it was just for me! However, everyone.. EVERYONE LOVED it!

This was Alex and Wesley's first Easter. That was such a blessing. Those baby boys are to sweet. Actually, all the boys are sweet.. Logan Can be. :)

So I have more I would like to say but lets just get to the photos! (click each collage to view larger)




A few more photos and these are of the kids participating in the the Pine Log Baptist easter program. They did coloring, candy, story, songs.. and candy :)

time is flying

Wesley will be one year old in a few weeks! It seems like he has been with us forever, on the other hand I can't believe its just been one year ago that we gave birth to him and welcomed him into our family!
He is such a funny and sweet little guy. So, I won't have time to post photos now but check in this weekend I should have plenty! We actually have a big weekend ahead of us and I hope all goes well. Wesley has alittle caugh so I hope we are able to attend.
He is just starting to 'show off' when we ask him too. He is being so obediant! lol.
Chris left for work yesterday and wesley crawled after him.. waiving with one hand!
It was cute. He is getting louder and faster in his crawl. He has no desire to walk. He would much rather us just carrying him to where he wants to go.
I took a video the other eve during supper. I need to get it posted but let me tell you, Hallarious! It was so loud at the table, the kids were 'feeding' off of each other. One would squill, the other would be even louder. .. like ping pong players,.. back and forth. Showing off :)
I a house w/o kids.. silent. A house with a baby.. quiet.. a house with 2.. a Seal Show!
