Cousin Johnny.....

We had a great visit two weeks ago from Nicki, John, and little Johnny! We hadn't seen Johnny since he was about 6 weeks old so it was a lot of fun. We hung out a played here at the house and on Friday Tim and Matt took the day off and we all met at City Park and had a picnic and played. Later we went to the Museum of Nature and Science and the kids had a blast. Here are some pictures!

And off they go.....

Best buds already!! So cute! He was holding her hand!!!

The hair....

Thought that you might like to see Hailey's latest hair style! It is toooooo cute! The hair just keeps growing and growing. The boys keep telling her how beautiful she is and telling everyone to come see their sister! Too funny!

We are getting into a great summer routine. We are keeping busy with swim team, swim lessons, baseball, t-ball, and lots of playing and reading.

Here are a few cute pics of the kiddos from the last week or so!

The swim team....

Jack had his first swim meet this morning! He was so excited! I was way more nervous than he was. He swam the 25m free and did great. It was definitely the best that I had seen him swim so far this season. He is so happy with himself. He was supposed to swim in the 100m free relay but one of the boys left early so they had to pull out of that race. He was really bummed about that. He is already looking forward to next week!

Ready to go...

Need to work on the dive...it fell apart!

Going strong...

Touching the wall...

One happy swimmer....

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!!

A family affair!

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 standing next to "Will" in the hallway at school. He painted it himself!

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!

Will's soccer team the "Jedi's"! (Will is in the front row middle)

Will and his coach and of course the trophy!

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!

A family picture!

Kisses from Jack!

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.
