Blake is 3/4 of a year!!

Blake is the funniest little guy!  He is a sweet, sweet baby but if he is hungry or tired it's all over...he can be a grouch!  He can be so whiney at home and then as soon as we are around other people he just turns the charm and smiles on.  He has been sleeping amazing and practically crawling and eating a ton.  He didn't really gain any weight or grow since the last time he was at the doctor but she wasn't too worried.

These first pictures were taken when he was tired and hungry. You can see he wasn't too happy!

After he slept and ate he was much much more cooperative!  Although he was practically throwing himself off the rocking chair, he doesn't hold still very long these days.
I wonder who he is looking at??

The peanut gallery!

He has six teeth now

Next Sport...T-ball!

Grant is loving t-ball, we have been playing in the backyard a lot and today he had his first game. Even though the kids don't really get out yet he did tag a few runners out :) And he even hit a grand slam!! I wasn't that excited about him playing baseball but it moved a lot faster than I thought it would and the kids all had a blast!  Helps that Chad is an awesome coach!!

1st up...Grant Abby!!

Owen's first at bat

They all swarm to the ball and then run it to first base.

Good base running!

Through the tunnel

Cale was mad because he missed making a tunnel...always something to be crying about!

Bike A Thon

Today was Grant's bike-a-thon at school. We went with the Burns since Fawn and I had just registered the boys for kindergarten. Grant rode his bike like a crazy BMX rider. He did fall his first time through the "car wash" but he got right back up and kept riding.

Best Buds

These two are so cute and funny!

Murray Family Farms

The weather here has been perfect for doing outdoor stuff! We went with a few friends to Murray Family Farms. It was a fun day of jumping, running, looking at animals and berry picking.

I took this picture to remind me of what my front seat looks like almost every day.  We rarely eat lunch at home so I just pack a lunch box for each boy and we eat on the go.

Toe touch!

Christine and all 10 boys!

Grant the pig, Caleb the duck and Cale the goat

Before we left Chad told Grant to take pictures of the animals so he asked for my phone to take pictures to show daddy.  It was so cute and so grown up!!

Yum, strawberries!

Go Angels!!

BOYS!

They love tractors and bugs!

Easter Weekend

I love Easter!  Christmas and other holidays are great and all but this one is obviously the most important one...Jesus fulfilled all prophecies and rose again.  We are saved, He sacrificed himself for us!!  It's such a joyful day!!!  We got to see the whole family...Abbys on Friday and Sunday afternoon and Browns on Saturday and Sunday morning.  It's nice living close enough that we can see everyone on holidays!
