We are so excited to have a little girl in our family!

To top it off Friday Jon's parents, our twin neices, Paula, and Grandma and Grandpa Anderson came into town! We stayed up way too late talking and enjoying ourselves.

Tim went for a ride with Uncle Kevin.

Saturday: 

All morning Sharon and I celebrated us having a girl by going through the twins old baby clothes. Needless to say there was a lot of awe's and squeal's.

We later met my family at Rodizio's for Kevin's "Last Meal" before his mission. We all ate too much and talked and talked.

Michael fell in love with Grandma!

Sunday:

Kevin had his farewell talk. After we had a big get together at my parent's house. 

Jeffrey came with his hair shaved off tho support his Aunt.

Grandma the kid magnet.

Kevin and Matt Wager had their farewell talks together.

I am so proud of Kevin and the choice that he has made to live a worthy life, so he can serve the Lord.

Family Pictures Preview

My parents wanted to get family pictures taken before Kevin left for his mission. Here are the preview pictures:

Kevin's awesome missionary picture! So proud of my little brother, I can't believe he his leaving Wednesday to live his dream!

I'm so glad we got a good one! These were all taken around Tim and Michael's bed time so we really struggled to make them look happy.

I think they look great and can't wait to see all of them!

Brother Trouble

 Even though it usually means my house gets super messy, I just love how well these two get along!

This little baby in my tummy better watch out, these two are partners in crime.

"The Chicken Man!"

Kyle decided to try and stuff Tim into this old chicken suit.

As you can tell Tim wasn't too happy, but I guess that's what happens when a chicken head is pulling your hair.

Lovely Weather

Friday the weather was amazing! So we took the boys outside to play. Michael sat in the laundry basket with me at the steps while Jon played baseball with Tim, Braxton, and Dominik.

This weekend we got to dogsit our landlords dog Bella. The boys loved having a puppy around! 

Valentine's Day!

For Valentine's day all Jon wanted was Polska Kielbasa for dinner. Michael even got to have some and he loved it!

Tim got a puppy hat from Grandma and a small box of chocolates from Grandpa!

Michael got a cute stuffed dog and chocolates as well. 

Happy Valentine's Day!

Cleanin' Up

Nothing like taking a bath in Grandma's sink!

This is Tim's last bath in the sink. His legs are just too long!

8 Months!

Our little boy is eight months old!!! He is able to do so much already:

He tries to undress himself

He army crawls

He says, "Mama" but doesn't associate it with me or grandma yet

He can pull himself up to stand if he can get a good grip

He takes one or two steps while holding our fingers

We found out that he's mildly allergic to egg and corn, but he's slowly not breaking out anymore

He is wearing 18 month clothes and size 5 diapers

Last we weighed him he was 25 lbs, but that was a couple of weeks ago, so who knows how big he is now!

It's hard to believe how much he's grown! This little guy can make anyone smile!

Stitches

Well it finally happened. Tim got stitches. I don't know what happened, because I was in the other room, but what I can guess is he was climbing on Michael's crib, fell, and cracked his head on the train box. 

Jon was able to leave work to take Tim to the hospital and I stayed home. It killed me not to be there with him and hold his hand, but Jon said he was really brave.

He got two stitches and one ankle bracelet.

Tim loved the sticker that they gave him for his ID band that it took me a couple days to convince him to take it off. 

We are so blessed that he wasn't hurt too bad and that Jon's work was great to let him leave to take care of his family.
