New Discoveries in Action

New Discoveries

 Andrew has found his feet this week! Ethan must have helped him. :-) Andrew spent Monday with Daddy, Tuesday with Gigi, Wednesday/Thursday with Aunt Shelly and the kiddos, and Friday with me. Good thing he is easy going! So thankful for all our family being so willing to help take care of our baby! We are blessed!

 Caught the toes!

 Also, learned how to play with the butterfly. He has caught it a  couple of times.

Ethan turns ONE!!!

Shelly did such a cute job with the decorations! You can't see them but she made NutterButters into flipflops.

 

Ethan's cake

 

All ready for the party!

 Swimming!

 Ethan's new chair just like Hannah's.

 All the new toys! This is a toolbox that Aunt Christie got him. It is so neat! He LOVED all the tools.

 Cake Time

 Hannah helping :-)

 Hands are taking too long... I'll just use my mouth!!!

 Carter was loving on Andrew! It was SOOO sweet. He was holding Little Andrew's hand.

 All worn out from the partying! Full belly of yummy cake!

 Ethan with Grandpa

 Me and my Buddy Boy. Sad Daddy had to miss, but we didn't want him spreading the germs.

 Shelly, Wes, and the Birthday Boy!!!

My First Mother's Day

My sweet husband wrote me a very nice card. He spoiled me on Saturday taking me to get new clothes. I was very, very thankful because I get so frustrated when I go to the closet and have NOTHING CUTE to wear :-) He also let me have a nice long nap, which I was very thankful for! I hadn't had a nap in FOREVER. It was a fabulous first Mother's Day.

Carry a Jerry

On Saturday, Andrew and I got up really early to go to the Carry a Jerry event. It was a running fundraiser for PCM. Wes and Justin with their team actually carried a Jerry Can of water 5 kilometers. I messed up and didn't get a picture of this feat! 

Here is a picture of Justin running in the Family portion... his family abandoned him. 

 Here comes Christie with the rest of them. The Jerry can is in the wagon :-)

 

Little man and I cheering them on! We helped direct the runners. Andrew was fantastic. We even tried out the Wallaby. He only slept for about 30 minutes of the 3 hours we were there.

Making Progress

Andrew is starting to lift his head a little. He has made a lot of progress these past two weeks! SOOOO very thankful! Praise the Lord!

Happy Birthday, Hannah and Marley!

Andrew went to his first kid birthday party last weekend! We had a lot of fun! Shelly and Christie did such a great job. Shelly made super fun buckets for the kids to play with in the sand!

 Andrew is not quite sure what to think of all this activity.

 The birthday girls! What sweeties!!!

Opening presents

 We got Hannah a HUGE box of crafts. I have never seen a little girl LOVE crafts like her! We got Marley a Pottery Cafe gift card so she can go and make something :-)
