Another week come and gone...

Aunt Katie made Abby a very cute tutu. It is adorable!! Thank you, Katie!!!



I took Abby to the doctor yesterday for her 4 month check up. She now weighs 11 pounds. She is in the 50th percentile for height and 10th for weight. Sounds a lot like her Daddy. She is doing great. We did have to up her dosage for acid reflux, but that is the only problem we had. YAY for a healthy baby!!!!




We went to Lincoln this last weekend to help Emma (our neice) celebrate her 1st birthday.






We did a lot of family activities and had a lot of fun!








Of course we have to stay where they have a pool! Everyone enjoyed the swim! Including my oldest child- Jared.































































Cami and Mike hung out with us at the pool. Cami is SOOOO good with the kids and even took them all to a park to play. She was the only adult. She is my hero!!!!


























At Emma's birthday party enjoying the yummy cake.















Emma and her cake. It was so cute you could barely see her with her cake there.




























































































































We went to the Lincoln Zoo and the kids had a blast. It has a lot of fun things for little kids. Nathan loved the goats and a few tried to give him kisses.




















































































Feeding the camels.

















Abby loved the zoo, but for different reasons than the other kids. She was carried around the entire time.




































































Luke's first ride on a pony. The other boys wouldn't try it.
















































Sawyer with Abby's tutu (from Aletha) on.






















We were hanging outside one day and the boys ended up falling into the mud. Jared went ahead and undressed them outside since they were covered in it. Nathan hates to be dirty, but the other kids decided to take advantage of a mud hole right outside the house. I always figured a little bit of mud never hurt anyone- except maybe the Mom who has to clean up the mess...



















Matthew making more mud. This is where we are going to make a sand box for the kids...
































Jacob after playing.


















He loves mud. Well, actually he loves anything that makes a mess.















Having way too much fun!


























You know its going to be a long day when....


I put the kids up to bed last night and went downstairs like I always do. Matthew ended up getting sick so I went up to get him and this is what I found. Walls covered in blue magic marker.




I went into the kitchen this morning after feeding Abby and found this mess. Nathan and Jacob dumped two things of Nesquick all over the floor and then drove their cars through it. Very inventive and smart...
