Just for Grammy

My mom really knows how to enjoy a baby. . . so this post is for her. Here are two video's just for Grammy. Here is Emilee just learning how to smile. .

And if there is anything my mom loves more than a wee baby, it's got to be a near naked toddler getting his boogie on! (who couldn't love that?) Here is Chandler enjoying one of Aidan's new birthday toys. . .

We're looking forward to your visit Grammy! Emilee Jane can't wait to meet Jane Ann!!!

An extra set of hands. . .

Life gets kind of crazy aroud here sometimes. Especially when Chandler needs to go to bed and Emilee needs to be held. Yesterday, Aidan did such a great job holding and petting Emilee for me, I was so glad to have him around! Thanks Aidan!

Spring Break Fun

Spring break has been a bit disappointing this week as it has rained and snowed the entire time. We didn't get to go outside much at all, and spent most days lazing around the house. I took this photo the other day and thought it was so cute of all four of them lounged on the couch!

The other night Chandler INSISTED on wearing his shirt to bed. He was throwing a fit, but Daddy came up with a compromise, and we were all satisfied!

And here we have a growing girl and her very curious brother trying to entertain her with the mobile. Poor Emilee was hit with the plague of the baby zits this week, right on schedule for one of my kids. Hopefully they will clear up before they get too much worse! It's always kind of sad when their complexions go from peaches and cream to peaches and pizza. . . You can't really see them in this photo. Look how chubby she's getting!

Aidan's Birthday Catch up. . .

Here are a few photos from Aidan's birthday celebration. . .

The present fest begins!!!

Oh! A new monster truck! Just what he wanted!!!
A Jersey from us, and tickets to see the Blazer game! He was thrilled. . .Opening the giant mystery box from Grammy and Grampy. What could it be?
Seriously, what could it be???
It started out like this, but quickly became. . .
this!
and then THIS!
WHAT IS IT???
We're not really sure, but we do know that it is FUN!!!
The Birthday Cake

Party Time!

After the Blazer game. . . he's so excited!

Chandler Strikes a Pose

Chandler was cracking us up last night! We had the camera out and he kept saying "Cheese!" and then pulling other faces as well. He would pull a face, wait for the flash, and then pull another. Gordon and I both had tears in our eyes we were laughing so hard before he was through! Maybe he has a future in modeling? (let's hope not!) You be the judge. . .

Rock-a-bye Chandler

Chandler has a rock in the chair with mom or dad before he hits the sack for his nap or for bedtime. Lately I've been feeling like he's been a bit jipped out of rocking because it seems like Emilee always needs something right when it's time for him to go to sleep. Poor kid! So, we've had to cut rocking short a few times. Last night though, Gordon rocked him for as long as he wanted, and he went to bed no problem, not a peep! Or so we thought! After about 30 minutes had passed, I remembered there was a bag of dirty diapers that needed to go out from his room, so I sent Gordon in to retrieve them. And this is what he found. . .
Apparently Chandler wasn't done rocking yet! He was so cute and cuddled up in his chair, we almost hated to move him, but we did, and he slept the rest of the night in his bed, or at least we think he did!

Happy Birthday Aidan!!!

Aidan is five today! Happy Birthday Big Guy! The party is tomorrow so more photos to come for sure! Tonight we have Aidan's favorite dinner planned. . . Mac and Cheese with peaches and carrotts, and root beer popcicles for dessert. What a feast! Party tomorrow so more posting to come I'm sure. . .
