William's First Birthday Party

WIll had his FIRST BIRTHDAY PARTY TODAY!!  You were surrounded by everyone who loves you, little guy! It was a jungle theme and you had a blast! There was a pinata and lots of jungle decorations. You LOVE balloons and the toucan one was tied to your high chair-you held onto it while you ate your pizza, fruit, and cake!!!  We love you!! See the Flickr pictures! 

Christian's last day of PDO for the year!

Christian-today was your last day at PDO school and you have come a long way since last September! You like to go now, no tears, you have friends there, and you eat your lunch! You like to do the projects and Miss Melissa is your favorite! You gave Melissa, Jean, Judy, and Yvette flowers and a thank you notes and gave them all big hugs! And you stayed dry...sort of :).

Christian and the Weber

Christian-You and daddy assembled the new Weber Grill tonight! You were so excited!

William can climb stairs!

Will-you can climb up stairs! I also heard you say book today!!

Christian loves to work in the garden!

Christian-you are Mr. Outdoors. You love to be outside and are most happy when you are digging dirt with your shovel and using your wheelbarrow. We went to Eagle Creek nursery to get our annuals today and you were so excited to plant everything when we got home. You were very tired today. At dinner we made hot dogs and you were so upset because you "don't like hot dogs." you finally took a bite of one and said it was good...but no more bites....we love you buddy. 3 is harder than 2 though....:).

William-Milestones Catch-up Post!

Ok, Will. Mommy is behind on documenting your milestones so here I go: December 24, 2008 you started to sit by yourself. March 14, 2009 you started crawling! May 7,2009 you started cruising! You wave, sign "more", sign "milk". Gabbo taught you to blow kisses May 1st. You give high fives and you smile and wave to everyone. You say, dog, ball, mama, dada, more milk! You also roll onto your back when you want to be tickled. on May 24, 2009 you started to use a cup with a straw!

Will's 4th Tooth!

Lo and behold, William finally got a tooth on top! Your left upper central incisor is poking through! It looks like a big one!

Meeting Baby Renee for the first time!

Christian, William, and Mommy went to meet baby Renee! We visited 5/21-5/23. Daddy went to Vancouver for a conference so he will meet her next week!  Christian loved her and said that she was "little." Baby Will isn't the baby anymore! We took the boys on a wagon ride to Missippi Mudds for ice cream!

Will's 3rd tooth!

William! How is it that you are almost 1 years old and you only have 2 teeth! Well today you got your 3rd! Your right lower lateral incisor is peeking through!! You are still as happy as can be!

Baby Renee Genevieve is Here!

Baby Renee Genevieve was born tonight at 8:07pm! She is 7 pounds 1 ounce and is doing great! We will go to meet her this week!

Yesterday, Mommy went to Carol Nursery School for Christian's "parent-teacher conference" with Miss Kim. She said that Christian played well with the other kids, was very cooperative, self-directed, and talkative. Just like at home....:). Mommy and William went to the St. Dominic play group while Christian was at school and we had fun! 

Christian, William, and your future Baby Sister! Today is the first day of the blog that will document all of the big moments, milestones, and all the little stuff that makes up who we are as a family! We will try to update this every few days so you can see all of the fun you are having as you grow up!
