Hailey Anne....

Little Miss Hailey is four months old now! She went for her checkup this week and weighed in at 14 lbs 6 oz (75%), 26 inches long (97%) and healthy as can be.

Here she is very serious during tummy time which she does not enjoy! She does not appear to pleased that I would have the nerve to take her picture during this "awful" time!

Will took this picture of Hailey and I today- not too bad for a five year old!

The little girl is quite the drama queen already!!

Here are some pictures from the other night. Hailey gets a bottle about every other night from Daddy. We have started putting her to bed earlier and cutting out a late nap. The boys were awake for this bottle and they all wanted to help- poor Hailey!

Andrew's turn!

Now Will!

And Jack broke out the Boppy so he could do it all my himself!

Here are a few cute pics from last week when it was hot-some cute summer baby girl clothes! Hailey started laughing about 2 weeks ago which the boys absolutely love! So cute!

Such a cute skirt!

Cracking herself up and trying to still eat her hand!

Some Will time......

Well Will is done with preschool! He is now a kindergartener and couldn't be more excited about it. He and Andrew both finished up school last week. Will's last week of school was busy with a spring program and a class picnic at the park. The program was too cute. The theme was the Wild West and they sang some really cute songs. Here are some pictures:

Will is second from the left!

Will and Jack both wrapped up their soccer seasons about 2 weeks ago and are now onto baseball- 5 days a week between the two of them! Will had his soccer party last week too. He got a trophy-his first-which was wonderfully exciting for him!

A crazy weekend....

We have had a busy week. The weather was so nice and warm last week- Hailey wore her first pair of shorts. Too cute!

My parents came into town last Thursday. They were able to go see Jack's spring music concert that night. What a hoot! Jack is in the middle with the green shirt on. The theme was Carnival of the Animals- Jack was a frog!

Tim's parents got in on Friday but stayed with Tim's brother. They came down on Saturday to watch the boys last soccer games. I forgot my camera so I'll have to add some pictures later!

We had Hailey's baptism on Sunday. We had a nice brunch Sunday morning before the baptism. The baptism was great although Hailey decided to sleep through a lot of it! Her godparents, Tim's sister Nicki and our wonderful college friend James, weren't able to come so Matt and Beth stood in for them! We weren't really able to celebrate Mother's Day with a house full of people so Tim and the kids decided to celebrate it this Sunday- no arguments from me!

Andrew dressed up as a fireman. He and Callie ran around the house pretending to drive the firetruck.

All dressed and ready to go....

Daddy and his baby girl!

Andrew is on the left just watching the whole thing!

Out cold!

And Gmom!

We did have a little drama on Saturday when my Dad ended up in the hospital with a very large blood clot in his leg. He spent the night Saturday and was able to come home on Sunday. He did end up back at the er on Monday night when he started running a fever but they said that he was okay and could still fly home on Tuesday. He made it home just fine and we are very thankful that everything turned out okay.

The cake and some cute pictures....

I had to put this picture up- the boys are proud. They decorated my birthday cake last weekend all by themselves. They used Valentine's sprinkles and Easter M&M's....yummmmm!

Here are a couple of pictures of Hailey. She is just growing so quickly. She will be three months old this weekend! At two months she weighed in at 12lbs and 8oz and was 24 inches long. She is smiling, cooing and talking a little, playing with the animals that hang from her playmat, and loving her big brothers. She had her first ear infection a few weeks ago which was great fun. She went back in yesterday to have that rechecked and now weighs 13 lbs and 2oz!! I thought for sure she had another ear infection because she has been just miserable and not sleeping this week. The doctor said her ears are fine though and that she probably is just starting with a cold. Lovely. We tried to take her for her 3 month pictures this morning but she was just not having any of that. We even took a break and let her sleep for an hour. Still nothing. She just is not feeling right. We will try the pictures again next week! She was just not her usual smiley self.

Busy weekend of soccer here. Both boys have a game Saturday and Sunday. We have had such great weather all week but now it is going to get cooler with some rain for the weekend of course! I will post some soccer pictures soon!

A crazy week....

It has been quite a week here. On Monday the drain in the basement backed up and we ended up with water in the newly finished basement!! Fortunately, it only affected a section in front of the utility closet. We had a plumber here at 10:00 Monday night and he was able to clear the pipe. Our friend Matt came over and helped Tim pull up the carpet and with the help of his giant industrial fan we were able to get everything dried out. Someone is coming out next week to replace the pad and relay the carpet. Oh fun!

On Thursday we had the two giant pine trees in the front taken down. The roots from those trees are to blame for the backup of the drain! We had already had scheduled the trees to come down but it couldn't have come at a better time! The yard looks so bare but so much better. You can actually see the house now!

It started raining on Thursday which was followed yesterday by a morning of light snow and then crazy heavy snow in the afternoon and evening. It is still snowing out there.....ugh. We have at least a foot of very heavy, wet snow. The trees everywhere are just about hanging to the ground. Tim and I were able to get out for our date night last night. Matt and Karina had offered to watch all four kids so that Tim and I could go out to dinner for my b-day. The dining room of the restaurant was closed but we were able to eat in the bar. It actually was really nice because there weren't many people there! Hopefully it stops snowing soon! At least we know that it is going to warm up quick this week with temps near 80 by Thursday- that's Colorado for you!

The pine tree is bent so far that it is touching the hot tub!

Here are a few cute pics of Hailey. She is wearing a dress that my Aunt Marcia gave to me when I was born. It is really cool to see my little girl wearing it too!

Happy Easter!!!!

Happy Easter everyone!! Hope that everyone is having a great day! We have a cool, rainy day here so we are staying inside. The boys woke up bright and early and came to let us know that the Easter Bunny did in fact come- and he left them a note! The Easter Bunny hid lots of different sizes of eggs and wanted to make sure that Jack and Will knew to let Andrew find the bigger ones! They had fun playing with their baskets and looking for eggs. We had a nice breakfast and then went to church. Now we are just hanging out. The boys are watching the Tom & Jerry movies that the Easter Bunny brought and Tim is working on the kitchen cabinets. Andrew is sick with a fever, cough etc so he just laying down and feeling pretty miserable! We are going to have dinner later with a bunny cake that I am making with the boys for dessert! Here are some pictures from our day- there are a lot of Hailey- she was so happy and is just changing so much!
