Easter Continued....

I thought I would post some more pictures from Easter. After we finished looking for eggs and dying eggs we went out to lunch and then to the Cub's PreSeason Game. That was a lot of fun. Very HOT but fun. Jack played Easter Egg Hunt with some girls that sat next to us, then they colored, played hide and go seek, tag..... We had a great time!!!

Gillian's 9 Month Wellness Appointment

We just got back from Gillian's Wellness appointment. It went well. Her Doctor was very impressed on all that Gillian can do and say.

Weighs: 17lbs 2oz 12%

Height: 27 3/4 45%

She is under weight for were she should be at but the Dr. said its just because she is such and active baby. And that she will probably just be a petite little girl.

She had to get 2 shots and then they drew blood. She didn't like that to well. Poor Girl! She came home and went right to sleep.

Hope you all have a wonderful day!

Our 1st Month here.........

Its been one month since we moved today! Time has gone by so fast. We are very happy here and love the Anthem area. Everything is so close and is about 5 minutes away from groceries stores, banks, restaurants, STARTBUCKS!, gas station, library...... It is getting HOT here and will keep getting hotter. Its 9pm and its 93* outside RIGHT Now!

We miss everyone very much and can't wait to have you visit us here.

Here is a video of Jack and Gillian playing Peek-A-Boo on March 18th, 2008

Love....

What a wonderful thing it is to be a Mom.

I was just rocking Gillian and looking at her precious little fingers her sweet face listening to her soft coos. What joy. After she feel asleep I laid her back into her crib and she looks so peaceful sleeping all bundled in her pink blanket. I peak in on Jack still asleep so peaceful. My handsome boy so strong and smart. Growing up so fast. My baby no more.

While standing in the hall between the kids room just thinking about how much they rely on Ryan and I. How trusting they are. Their little lives in our hands and depend on us to give them what they need. To be there for them when they are happy, sad, hurt or mad.

I am so very blessed to be their Mother. I love them so much! I can not even start to tell you how much I love them.

Our Baby Girl is Crawling!!!

She has been able to scoot for a while but never went any further then she had to, to get something she wanted. Yesterday she went across the room for the 1st time! I got it on video BUT the house is a mess toy's every where and not sure I want to post it on here. SO I will wait until I get a better video of her crawling! BUT I do have a cute video from yesterday that shows her crawling a little bit and then pulling herself up. Its cute Gillian is inside watching Jack play outside in our backyard.

Here it is:

Have a wonderful day!

Happy Easter!

We had a great Easter! SO much fun. We had a fun filled day. Started the day off with the kids finding there Easter Baskets and then finding all the Easter Eggs hidden around the house. After the eggs had all been found Jack colored Easter Eggs while Ryan and I made a nice breakfast. After breakfast Jack looked for Easter Eggs in the backyard. Then off to a Pre Season Cubs game. That was so much fun. We went with Bob, Jeanna, Bob's Mom and her Boyfriend and his daughter. We sat in the grass area and watched the game. There were so many kids Jack had a blast. A few girls that sat next to us asked Jack to play Easter Egg hunt with them so he helped hide and find eggs almost the whole time. They colored and just had a great time. We left the game early it was so hot. In the 90's and the kids were getting to warm. Came home cooled down by having a water gun fight with Jack's New water guns from the Easter Bunnie got him.
