Wagon Ride

Wil is finally big enough to ride in the wagon with Owen. I was a little scared what Owen was going to do since he still doesn't like Wil to touch him. I knew there feet would touch eachother! All was good though. I think that Owen thought it was fun to. We were telling Owen to be nice to Wil and not kick him. So he was nice and gave Wil a hug, but it was more of a bear hug. Wil thinks everything Owen does is funny so he just laughed. Wil seemed to really like the wagon. He had one arm hanging over the side the whole time. I think that he really liked it because he could watch Owen. He loves his big brother. Owen is doing much better with him. He now brings him toys and talks to him all the time. Someday soon they are going to be best buddies :)

Happy Six Months!!

Wil is now Six Months old. I can't believe how fast the time has gone by. It just seems like yesterday we were getting ready to go to the hospital to have him. He has grown so much. He is such a happy baby. Always smiling and laughing. When he wakes up he always has a smile on his face. I could not ask for a better baby. He sleeps about 12 hours at night and is a great little eater! We are so blessed to have just perfect little boys!!

Uncle Ben

My Brother came to visit us! The boys love him so much. Owen has been talking about him for about a week. He was a little shy when he first got here but then he warmed right up to him. By the next day he was all over him giving him toys and laughing. We are going up to Sandpoint on Wednesday after music class to stay the week and hang out with Ben. We are so excited to have him home for a week!

Scary!!

I had a scary day today!! I was driving to the store to get some stuff for a little party I am having tonight. Most of you know that I never take the kids to the store with me but I had to go today since I won't have time tonight! I was just going to go to Super One here in Post Falls but I missed the exit because I forgot that there wasn't one for the store. I could have taken the next exit but I thought " I'll just go to Fred Meyer's in CDA" As I was driving I went to go into the other lane. There was a car next to me that I could not see in the mirror and when I looked back she was in my blind spot. SO I put my blinker on and started to go over until I noticed her. I never went into her lane but I scared her and that made her swerve off the road. I am not sure why she swerved so much but she did. I watched her in my mirror as she drove off the road into the grass and slid to a stop. I can still see her face in my mind. I pulled off to the side of the road and ran back to her to make sure she was okay. I had to leave the boys in the car. It was pretty scary crosses the freeway to get to her. She was fine but when she got out of the car I saw that she was pregnant. Now I felt REALLY bad!! She said she was Okay and that the cops were on there way. OH GREAT!! So when the cops got there I told them what happened and asked if they could help me back to my car since traffic was really bad now. So I got my first ride in the back of a police car! People probably thought I was getting arrested. They were really nice and helpful! Owen thought it was great getting to see a real Police Man!
I have never been in an accident before and had no clue what to expect. It took about an hour or so until they came and talked to me. Luckily the other lady was fine and they pushed her car out and she drove away. I didn't get a ticket since it was not really my fault. One I never hit her, and two I never crossed into her lane!! I think we were both really scared. I pray that the other girl is doing okay. I know she is probably really pissed at me right now. I am lucky she didn't hit me when she got out of the car! So I learned a hard lesson today "look more then twice and make sure the lane is open!" I am so thankful that no one was hurt. Of course I keep thinking about the what ifs' and that scares me even more. I had angels around me today and I think she did too!

Just Pumping some milk Mom.

Oh the things that kids get into. I had just changed Owens diaper in our room and was letting him run around with no pants on in our room. I was getting ready in the bathroom and when I looked out Owen was using the breast pump. At first I couldn't tell what he was doing but I could tell he had something up his shirt. Luckly the camera was still sitting on the desk. Guess he knew what he was doing from watching me. It was so funny, I couldn't help but laugh out loud at him! He thought it was funny too. Now he knows that he will get a laugh so all day he has been pretending to use the pump. What a little character! Someone shoule probably tell him milk doesn't come from his belly.
Thought I would throw in the picture of Wil just because he looked so darn cute in it :)
P.S. Yes the laundry is over taking our room right now.

All By Myself!!

Wil is now sitting all by himself!! The first time he did it was on Tuesday and now he is a champ at it! I still put the boppy behind him because he still likes to throw himself back when he gets excited. He is getting so big! He also is loving baby food. He hates the veggies though. Everytime I try to give them to him he gags really hard. It is so sad to see that I just stoped for now. He loves the fruit though. He can eat a whole jar in one sitting. He also loves rice cereal with fruit.

Where did all my hair go?

Some how I let Ryan convince me that we needed to shave Owens head! We talked about how hot his head gets in the summer and how is he always sweaty. So I thought yeah this is a good idea, Owen will like it. Ryan started shaving it and after the first hunk of hair fell to the ground I started crying. I went to the bathroom so I wouldn't scare Owen. I didn't realize it was going to be sooo short. We finished up and showed Owen in the mirror and he thought it was pretty funny. Then he got in the tub and was checking it out in the reflection of the facet and started crying. Not sure if he was just tired or he realized what we had done.
He looks cute, well because he is always cute no matter what his hair looks like :) It is just going to take some getting use to. I like it a little long since he starts to get curls but Ryan likes it short. I think we will let it grow out a little and then I will be a little more happy!

Music Class

I teach a music class at my house on Wednesdays for kids age 0-3yrs. It is a lot of fun and I think all the kids enjoy it. Owen still is getting use to having all these kids at his house. Sometimes he sings with us other times he runs away to his room. Wil loves it. He smiles and laughs the whole time we sing! We had it outside today since the weather is so nice.

Here is Wil showing us how to shake the egg shakers!

Owen loves to play with the music sticks. We have a song that is all about hitting them and making noise.

You go Owen!

Feeding Time

This morning I was feeding Wil some peaches. I had to go to the bathroom so I left Wil in his highchair and the peaches on the table. When I came back out Owen was sitting on the stool feeding Wil. He turned around and said "I feed him." Guess he thought he would help out. I am not sure if he got any in his mouth. Both Owen and Wil thought this was pretty funny. I let Owen feed him a little more just so I could get these cute pictures!

Trucks

Owen loves to go outside and play with his trucks. Such a little boy! Luckly the wasps have calmed down so he has been able to go in the back yard again! I love having a fenced in yard. This was while I was cooking dinner. It made it so much easier!

Mother's Day Baby Dedication

Wil was dedicated on Sunday at church. It was really special to get to do it on Mothers day! Owen was also dedicated on Mothers day 2 years ago. Dan our Pastor is so great and loves Wil so much. We are in Dan and Nicole's home group so they have known Wil ever since he was in my belly. It was an extra special day because both Ryan's Mom and mine got to be there for the dedication.
After church we invited The grandparents and Aunt and Uncles over to have a baby dedication/Mothers day BBQ. It was a little cold and raining out but the burgers still turned out great and it was so nice to spend time with everyone.
Happy Mothers Day to all the Mommies!

My Prego Sister

I decided to make the cake for my little sisters baby shower this weekend. I think it turned out pretty darn cute! I had a lot of fun making it even though it took me about 3 hours to decorate. It didn't help that Owen was helping me. He decided to get a spoon and take some frosting off the side of the cake, which just happened to be the front. I was able to fix it but I could still see where he did it!

Here is a picture of my little sister Alicia that I took. She is having a little girl named Olivia on June 17th. I can't wait to have a little girl in the family finally!

Just another Thursday

Wil had to go to the doctor today for his well baby check. As you can see is very healthy. He weighed 18 lbs and 11oz and he is 28 1/3 in long. He is over the 100% for height and 95% for weight. I think one of these days he is going to be bigger then this big brother Owen. He did really well when he got his shot. He didn't even cry just a little whine. I think Owen cried more for him. He remembered the nurse from the last time we went and both boys had to get shots. When she walked in he started yelling no and tried to push her away from Wil. So he really does love his little brother :)




As a treat for being good at the Doctors office Owen got to have some pudding. As you can see he loved it! He walks around the house carrying pudding snack asking for chocolate. We never told him thats what it is so I am guessing he is catching on to the good stuff fast!

Swimming

Owen is becoming a little fish. He loves to swim!! He got swimming lessons for his birthday and has been doing them for about 2 months. He gets so excited when we get there and he sees the pool. Last night he jumped right in. He only has one more time left but he has learned a lot. He can even swim under the water. He doesn't like it that much though. He usually cries when he has to do it. Last night was the first time he didn't take a big drink of water while doing it. So I think he is learning. I am excited for this summer when we can take him swimming in the lake. I know he is going to love it!!
