Introducing Finger Foods

Colten ate "puff puffs" today for the first time. A brand new container and more than half of the container is gone. I would estimate that Colten maybe got 3 in his mouth and big brother finished up the others.

I canot believe how big my baby is getting so quickly. If you want to see his concert, check facebook for the video tomorrow :)

Gina and Ryan's Baby Shower

Today we celebrated the arrival of our neice Alyssa Regina by throwing the new mom and dad a baby shower. It was co-ed and consisted of yummy food, good company and fun games. Josh won the bottle drinking game, Sarah and Kelly won Gift Bingo, and Theresa won baby price is right! We also, all wrote letters to Alyssa for each birthday up until she is 25. They were all individually sealed and put in a box, labeled with the year that her and her parents are to open them, read them and enjoy them.
All in all it was a good day!

Cowboy Drake

Yes, his whole attire is pretty redneck. The Carhart, courtesy of Pop, the Tennessee T-shirt, courtesy of Gram Peg,  and the overalls and cowboy boots, courtesy of Uncle Chris and Steph. My little boy is getting too big and too cute!

Drake's new Carhart from Pop

When Drake was little and we were visiting Nana and Pop, they bought Drake his first Carhart sweatshirt. It was a 2T and although he still fits in it (snuggly), this one came at a great time. This one is a 4T and it has more room for him to grow. Plus, little brother Colten has gladly inherited the old one :) He fits in it pretty well.

Visiting Alyssa Regina

She is doing amazing. She is the most precious little thing ever. When I first met Alyssa she weighed under 2 lbs, today she was a little over 4 lbs! To me she looks huge. I got to watch her mother, Regina (my sister in law) feed her, change her and hold her. It was truly amazing. I wish we got to visit her more often but the boys aren't allowed in the NICU so it makes it a bit tough for us to get up there. We cannot wait for her to come home, Drake and Colten are patiently awaiting to meet their baby cousin, Alyssa

April 20, 2010 Momma and Boys

Daddy had to replace the brakes on the Mini van today. Mommy was blessed to get some alone time with the boys. It is a rarety these days and I miss them like crazy. Scott is an amazing father, but we are two very different parent types. This makes us a great team, but sometimes I just feel like I am robbing my kids of something by not being here. They will be fine I am sure, but I miss them.
