Getting Big

Addison has really blossomed (it seems) overnight. In one day she learned how to sit alone and it seemed to go from there pretty quickly. She can now get from a sitting position to a laying-on-her-belly position and back again. She can creep very well now. She has even mastered getting on her hands AND knees and has toyed with the idea of crawling. It won't be long now... I even found Addison standing in her crib a few days ago. Somehow she managed to pull herself up on the rail. Guess it's time to lower that crib!

I feel more normal now. Addison is sleeping through the night and we seem to be on a good schedule during the day. The boys really are GREAT with her. They help me out alot - getting diapers and wipes, getting toys for her, finding her binki, etc. I have enjoyed Bryson being home this summer. Having 3 kids at home really has been fine. The boys keep each other entertained (when they aren't fighting) so it is easier to have Bryson home - Jayson's not so bored anymore.

Fun times!

Addison - 6 Months Old

Although Addison is almost 8 months old I'm just now posting her 6 month old pictures. And she was really almost 7 months old when I took these. Sorry! I guess that's life with 3 kids...

I took these pictures in our back yard.

Stuff...

Jayson showing off his artistic skills...

Bryson asked before going to play at the neighbors if it was okay if he got muddy.

This is what he came home looking like.

This is by far the largest turtle I've ever seen outside of a zoo...

Fruit break!

Sweet dreams!

Happy 30th Birthday Missy!

Bryson's Baseball

I'm so proud of Bryson for being picked as an all-star this year. Here are pictures from the all-star game.

It's been a while...

Here are some recent pictures...

(Yeah, this is cute now. But it won't be so cute in 10 years...) :)

Words of Praise

Blessed be your name
When the sun's shining down on me
When the world's all as it should be
Blessed be your name

Blessed be your name
On the road marked with suffering
Though there's pain in the offering
Blessed be your name

Welcome Brooklyn!

My friend Holly had her baby girl Brooklyn on April 21st. She was 7 lbs 14.5 oz and 21 inches long. Beautiful with a headful of dark brown hair! It is amazing how much she looks like Lucas.

Congrats to Holly, David and Lucas!

Here is Holly's blog to see more picture of Brooklyn.

Fun Run

And a fun run it was!

Bryson's school had a fundraiser they called the Fun Run. Bryson ran a total of 14 laps and raised money for his school. The class who raised the most money won a prize and the kid in each class who raised the most money won a prize.

Bryson raised the most money and won a medal. And his class raised over $800 (the most in the entire school) and won the prize - a popcorn party. Thanks to everyone who contributed. He had a blast doing it!

And they're off!

Finished lap #1. He ran 14 total.

Every time Bryson ran by the mascot he had to give him five.

Jay and Jayson got in on the action.

Aunt Jill showed up to cheer Bryson on. Aidan's run was after Bryson's.

Bryson's class and mascot, the Cardinal.

Winner! :)
