Lovin' Us Some Sunshine

We took advantage of all the sunshine while Zachary was on Spring Break the last two weeks. Our fist adventure was to the park for a picnic lunch with daddy. It is a great place to get some fresh air and to keep Tyler away from all the wonderful germs floating around! After lunch, Nate and Zachary played ball, Eli and I threw acorns and ball, and Tyler slept! It was a great afternoon.

Another Season Ends...

Okay - this post is actually about Zachary's basketball season...but I just found two pictures of him I thought I would share first. This first one is after Nathan and Zachary went to the local Home Depot for the kid's workshop. Zachary had a great time this month making his school bus pencil holder! And the fact that he got to use his big boy tools!

This second picture is hilarious!! I couldn't find Eli one afternoon -- and heard him calling from Tyler's crib. So when I went to check, this is the note I found! And yes, Zachary had put Eli in the crib!! It seems as though Zachary's basketball season this go around ended about as fast as it began! He had a great time with it again this year, but is super excited about next year when he gets to play actual games. Nathan and I have always been pretty impressed with how much Zachary actually "gets it" when it comes to sports -- but I am pretty sure that we might have a little basketball player on our hands!! Only time will tell... :) Here are just a few shots from trophy night -- I didn't get to go because of the new little one, but Nate and him had a great time. ... I'm pretty sure Zachary was trying to say "#1" instead of "Loser" ... but you never know with this kid!!!

Nap Time...PLEASE?!

As many of you know, when you bring home a precious newborn...sleep is one of those luxuries that you might as well kiss goodbye!! Well, since Tyler has been completely confused on days vs nights...the lack of sleep in our home has affected all of us!! Let me explain...

Get the idea?? :) We love him but we sure are all looking forward to the day when he sleeps for more than two-three hours a night!!

Rub-A-Dub-Dub...

Bath time has turned into a rather...shall we say interesting event in our house since Tyler arrived. He HATED getting his spongebaths, as demonstrated below, but has turned out to really enjoy getting to take a bath in the actual tub. The fun part comes in when I try to knock two birds out with one stone and put Eli in there too. Yeah.... It was going great on the first time, until Eli decided to try and rinse Tyler's hair and poured a whole cup of water on him before I had time to stop it. I think Tyler digested about six ounces of bath water that night!! Haha. No -- it really is a fun time getting the two of them bathed...and Eli loves to play the big brother role and help mommy! (Whether I need it or not!) Love them!

Knock, Knock...Who's There?

More visitors and they come bearing gifts!! This post is a huge thank you and a kudos to everyone who has come to visit us since sweet baby T was born. I am so thankful for all the company...but also for all of the sweet gifts that you all brought. From diapers to wipes to gift cards to outfits...they have all been appreciated!! Not to mention all the meals that have been provided to our little family! I think we have received over 20 dinners so far! You all have no idea how much of a blessing those have been! So, while these pictures do not do any of it justice -- mainly because if someone came to visit, I was fixing dinner plates -- but here are a few pictures that I do have to share!
