Fun with Food

Seth has been eating some cereal at night for a few weeks now! Here are lots of pictures of his (messy) fun with food!

If the girls aren't in bed yet it has become a fun family event!

My 3 sweet babies!

We ALL have a lot of fun together!!

Party Paint

Last week we had a fun outside Birthday party for a friend. They had face painting that the girls really enjoyed! The weather was great and we had fun eating and playing outside.

Ella's face turned into a Butterfly!

This was Sophie's still, serious face-she looks kind of mad-ha! (She is usually not this still or serious-ever!)

Posing with her "Balloon paint."

Sweet Seth just hanging out at the party!

Exercising

Seth has been spending a little time in his exersaucer lately! He likes it for short amount of times! He probably has too many cute rolls on those big legs to exercise too long and those big, cute cheeks are pretty hard to hold up too:) He is such a sweet and fun baby!

Seth-5 months

My sweet Baby Boy is 5 months old already.

*weight-16 pounds at his 4 month check-up
*wears size 6 mos or 6-12 mos clothes, size 2 diapers
*Nurses 5 times a day He still prefers to nurse but he has taken a few bottles when I have had appointments! (He tried to nurse the monkey in the picture below-ha!)

*Sleeps ALL night in his Bed and naps several times a day
*Still spits up but he's happy and healthy, it may be improving-a little!
*He started eating a little cereal with a spoon this week, he likes it.
*He is starting to babble things that may sound like da-da,it's precious

*He smiles and laughs all the time, he is a very happy, laid back baby
*He reaches for things and holds onto them, he likes to play with toys this month and pull hair! Everything goes straight to his mouth!!
*He found his feet and loves to play with them!

*He holds his head up pretty well and has become a good hip baby
*He loves to be outside and we take walks when we can
*He still likes his bouncey seat, swing, play mat, and now his Bumbo seat and recently his exersaucer. He just rotates around in these things for short times when he's not sleeping, being fed, or held by me:)
*The girls love to play with him and make him laugh!! They are so sweet to him, Sophie and now Ella call him Bubba, Chubba Bubba or Bubby Chubby... (I think it's cute but I promised my Aunt that I would stop it eventually before Preschool or at least before it stuck!)
*We ALL love him so much and cannot imagine not having him in our family to love!!

I can't believe he is already 5 months old. Time please slow down this month! I am not ready for him to grow up and be 6 months old yet! I know it sounds crazy (even to Tadd)but if he keeps growing so fast I'm going to want another one...

Cowgirl Up

Our friend Finley had her 4th Birthday Party last Saturday at a Horse Ranch. it was really fun and the girls had a great time on the hayride and horse ride.

My little Cow Girl-with a bow of course!

Hayride time...

The Birthday Girl

My cute big Cow Girl

Ella loved riding her horse!

Sophie rode the biggest horse they had and loved it-fearless!

The Party Group

Show Stoppers Season 2

We finally began our softball season tonight after two rain outs and one team not showing up... What a difference a year makes! We started out with a WIN! It was such a close, fun game and we won by a point. We had so many girls really hit it tonight! Ella had two good hits that she was so excited about and she even scored twice! I yelled so loud it scared Seth (who was in my lap) until he cried-I'll have to learn to cheer quietly. It should be a fun season to watch and Coach Tadd was excited to have a Win and a good start to the Season!

She is really into posing lately-ha! Sweet, sassy thing!


Opening Ceremonies


Such a cute little team!!


Our big hitter!

Zoo Day

Ella's Kindergarten class had a field trip to the Zoo last Friday. It was a fun day and I loved spending the day with my big girl and her friends!

The girls loved feeding the fish!

This was the best picture I could get of the new Penguin exhibit with a stroller.

Seth joined us too in his little Lion shirt.

Posing for pictures by the flowers



I just had to take pictures of the Elephants-they are Aunt Gingers favorite!

This monkey was very entertaining and even threw rocks and sticks towards his onlookers, then he played the drums on this ball for us several times...

Sweet baby wishing he could have some ice cream!

We went for an Ice cream treat at Cold Stone after we left the Zoo, it was pretty warm and we needed a cool down!

Worn out from the long day at the Zoo.

I've been a bad blogger, but I will catch up soon. Tadd was gone all last week to Germany for work so I was a little busier than usual!

Spring Break

Here were some pictures off the camera from Spring Break. While we were in California, the girls were being spoiled by Coach and Gram. (Those pics are all on Grams camera) They had fun at the Zoo, Chuck E Cheese, Larry's Pizza, and four wheeling on their land, and lots more. They jumped from one fun activity to the other the whole time. They had a good time and probably were not ready for us to come back, even though we couldn't wait to see them! The rest of Spring Break we mostly stayed home other than gymnastics, softball practice, and we went to Party Central one day with some friends.

We made cookies and the girls helped by licking the spoons.

Posed for pictures

Took naps (atleast the youngest two did!)

Played in the Bumbo seat

Took sweet pictures

Tadd took off on Friday to hang out with the kids since we were gone part of the time and Ella was out of school. The girls and Tadd "camped out" one night upstairs in their Dora tents. We made smores outside by the fire, watched movies upstairs and ate popcorn. Then they all slept upstairs under their tents-it was cute and I forgot to take any pictures. They had a great time!

My big girl, looking so grown up to me!
