MARCH 2010

We started out the month with the birth of my newest niece, Winnie. She was born on Skippy's birthday, the 3rd and weighed in at a hefty 10lbs, 12oz! Big fat cute baby! Thorey knows how to grow those big babies!

Then, we celebrated Skip's birthday at his parents' house. I made him the hershey's chocolate cake... SO GOOD! It's the recipe on the back of the cocoa powder- the best!
Grandma and Grandpa took the kids to ride ponies and pet goats


Thyssen's favorite part of the whole thing was the washing station.

Thyssen turned 3! He had his first real little kid birthday party.

I thought this was a cute pic of Mandy and Penny.. showing off thier cute hair clips.

All the party kids.

We celebarted on his actual birthday at ChuckECheeses. The Presleys came along, but I wasn't very good at getting pics that day!

We've (meaning Skippy) have been working on the backyard, getting it all pretty.

It was hot enough to go to the beach!

hung out with the Schulzes at Dland

got to be apart of lifting some spirits...

Gina fell asleep in the high chair for the first time.

Skippy tried his best at eating 5lbs of burger and fries...

Doing good in the beginning...

almost half way...

he did amazing! He said the grease from the meat was getting to him.

Some of the spectaters...

What was left over... had he finished all of this he would've gotten the glory of a pic on the wall, a tshirt, and his meal for free. Instead, he had to pay $17 to feel REALLY sick.

February 2010

Let's see.. where should I begin? February was really filled with colds and ear infections, but who wants to see pictures of that, right? So here's only the fun good stuff that happened this month.

We started off the month right by going to Dland with the Schulze's.

Maggie let Gina borrow her nice warm hat...

Gina had her first taste of rice cereal at 5 1/2 months.

We did Dland again with the Presley's.. I love that family so much!!! Daddies and boys in line for Buzz
Belen did her second month of ballet.... she wants to try tap next.

Belen has been saving for the Ariel and Eric wedding dolls... she finally got enough money for them after winning 20 bucks from choosing a winning square on the super bowl spread sheet. Not exactly the principle I wanted to teach her when I told her she'd have to earn her own money to buy them, but hey.. the girl won fair and square.

Grandpa and Grandma came over and trimmed up the yard. You can see Grandpa way up in the tree.. he's got the tree climbing skills of a 13 year old- remarkable.
Belen fed her demonic baby alive some "food". That doll is seriously so disturbing.
Yes.. we did Dland for the 3rd time when Jill came to town. That little Hannah showed my kids a great time!

Gina started sitting in the stroller like a big girl.
We caught the tail end of snow day at the park with Shannon.

I got a really great laughing shot of Gina
And... the grand finale..... Gina is big enough for Belen to hold her in the tub so I can get all 3 of them at once!! Yay!... and I love how aweful this pic is... it's a new fav of mine!We also went to Maggie's fabulous 1st Bday party... but of course I forgot my camera- you'll have to check Trena's blog for pics :)
