My sweet shopping deals!

Cynetta and I went shopping about a week ago and we found some sweet deals! I got Tyler some clothes for next spring from stores like Gap, Gymboree, and JCPenny and ended up getting over $200 worth for $48. :) Can't beat that!!! :) I love the overalls there in the middle from Gymboree that say "silly" on them with a monkey. A couple of the shirts will be good for now too, so thats good. He was needing some clothes!

Daniel's First Birthday

I've been a little behind on blogging lately (sorry!) but these pictures are from Daniel's (my nephew) first birthday party. I can't believe its been a year already! I found out I was pregnant just 3 days before he was born. This was such an answer to prayer because my sister was due about the same time I would have been due with our first baby. So being pregnant helped to distract me from what could have been. Anyway, I couldn't believe how one little haircut changed Daniel from a baby to a little boy! He was more than adorable and had a fun time on his big day. :)

See what I mean?

My sister Stephanie did a GREAT job on Daniel's cake. A little firetruck! :) Egg free of course, because Daniel is allergic to eggs

Everyone's cake :)
Tyler and his OLDest aunt (who just turned 30 ;) ) Joanna

Daniel enjoyed opening about 2 of his presents and then he was done...ready for cake!!

Andrew was determined to get in that pool!

Daniel barely made it through the "Happy Birthday" singing before he had his hands in that cake!

first taste...mmmm!!!
completely unprovoked...he did this on his own!!

Andrew wanted to see what all the fuss was about...that IS good cake!"Whoa..."
What a mess!!
Finally! Andrew was allowed to get in the pool...that was only 78 degrees!! BRRR!!
It was a great weekend with the family. I just wish we lived closer so we could have fun times like this other than just at birthdays and holidays. :( Happy First Birthday, Daniel!!

Tyler 4 month update

Tyler had his 4 month check up today. He weighed in at 15lb 1 oz which puts him in the 50th percentile for weight, and measured 26 1/4 inches long putting him at the 90th percentile for height. :) Long and lean just like his Daddy...and how his momma used to be! :) The doctor gave him a clean bill of health, said he was "strong" and "doing really well" and then gave him 4 more shots. :( It is so hard to hear him crying from that! Tim doesn't hear a difference in his cry, but I sure do. He never cries like he does for shots, thank goodness! It doesn't seem to bother him though, other than the initial poke. He is still just as happy as ever!

"Is that an ant on my nose?"

"WHOA! Check out that blade of grass!" :)

I love this picture. :)

Already Daddy's little boy. :)

I love how he has his finger dug into Tim's face here. :)

And, even though Tyler is getting bigger, he's still little in Daddy's hands. Which is why I like for Daddy to hold him a lot. :)
