2nd b-day surprise.

Though it is a couple weeks away we decided we needed to check and see if Blake's b-day present was okay. With his party coming up we did not want to find out the day of the party that is had a defect. Needless to say we got it up and everything is great. A little smaller than I thought it was going to be, but Blake loved it and had a blast and even shared with his sister.

Future drummer

Blake has always loved music from the start. When I was pregnant with blake I would have him hooked up to my ipod during certain therapy sessions so he did not hear some of the students I worked with. Since Jerrad received his rock band Blake has been obssessed with the drums. everything Jerrad plays Blake takes his position at the drums and rocks out. Hopefully we will have video for you soon. It is just toooo cute. At the end of every song he raises the drumsticks over his heads and yells yeahhhhhhh!

Happy Valentine's from Blake and Reese

Hope everyone had a great valentine's day. Blake and Reese had a blast with all their valentine's goodies.

Happy 6th months

Reese turned 6 months this month. She has quite the little personality. It is so much fun to see how different she is from her brother. Her brother is still trying to get used to some things. He can be so sweet at times and other times he doesn't even want her to touch him.

random pics.

Here are just a few random pics from this week. It was very cold in the morning and we had to bundle up before we could leave the house in the morning. Blake was disappointed because he could not stay outside most of the day. he is defintely my son in the fact that he loves nature and being outdoors. It is hard to believe that Reese turns 6 months this coming week and blake turns 2 next month. They always tell you that time goes fast once you have your children. I can honestly say that I never would have dreamed that it would go this fast.

Weekend fun

The weekends seem to fly by faster and faster everytime I turn around. This month and last month seem to be the busiest we have ever had. It looks like the next 2 months will be just as busy as the previous month. We have had a lot of ups and downs this month. Grandma had open heart surgery and is currently in the hospital. I am scheduled to have surgery in March. There have been some wonderful ups such as watching Blake and Reese play outside and a quick tip to Hutchinson Island to see Grandma and Grandpa. Blake is still asking for CoCo a week later. I told him we were having a visitor this weekend and the next thing I know he was running to the door shouting CoCo. It was the cutest thing.

Where in the world is grandpa

PaPa had to go to India for 10 days so we took some pictures so he would not get home sick. My dad had a safe trip and came back with great stories and some very cool gifts for us and the children.

Jerrad's Birthday

Jerrad's Birthday was Jan. 16th and we had a small celebration at home with just the four of us. Jerrad had a weightlifting meet that night so it was a very busy night. Here are just a few pictures that the kids took for him. Blake and Reese gave daddy cards with clues to his birthday gift. Of course I think Blake thought Daddy's present was really a new toy for him.
