sleepy smiles





Andy is smiling in his sleep! He has such a cute smile. I can not wait to see it when he is awake.

memorial day fun




The boys loved swimming in Kristen's pool. Bryce wants to swim on his own, but can't quite keep himself up. Nolan is a great swimmer but does not like to jump in

markers




Bryce is interested in markers. Unfortunately he can open them and mostly wants to color on himself!

Fun

We are enjoying spending the last month at our house in our very fun back yard!





nature


Lately, Bryce has been finding a lot of creatures at our house. He is so delighted by the nature he finds and he was especially fond of this toad. We named this toad Isabella and she showed up under our trampoline multiple times.

bath time


Nolan and Bryce helped with Andy's first sponge bath. It was quite an event. I can tell that Andy will need to be a very patient and tolerant little boy!

cousins





Andy is so lucky to be born into a family full of cousins that already love him so much! Robby is a baby whisperer, Ashlynne smothers him in kisses, and Michael wants to be with him all the time. Katie has turned into a little mother's helper.

cuteness



We took a photo shoot to make Andy's birth announcement. He wanted to keep looking away and putting his hands in his mouth. We did get a good picture though. When I look at Andy, he looks so different from Nolan and Bryce. I can't wait to see how his face changes.

School Picnic



Nolan's end of the year picnic was my first time out with all three boys! Thankfully it was in a back yard so I could watch all three boys. I also had plen of people willing to hold Andy to help me out!

Happy Birthday Bryce!








Bryce turned 2 just 3 days after Andy was born. We had a birthday party at the local playground. The weather was much colder than we had anticipated so we were a little chilly! Bryce had so much fun playing with his friends, I had to beg him to come into the pavillion to sing happy birthday. We had a pinata but he did not want to hit it. He did have fun picking up the candy though!

coming home




We came home from the hospital the day after Andy was born. We were all excited to get home ans spend time with our new baby. Bryce was excited to introduce everyone to our new baby. He said "look it is our new baby" many many times.
