7 weeks

At 7 weeks I am awake a lot more kicking my legs ferociously and flailing my arms.
look at those arms go

If you put a toy (preferably a soft one) in my hand Ill hold on for dear life!
Ive also found my hands and they are in my mouth allot.
my favorite toy is a black chicken with white spots!
(see him in the background)

I will just lay there and squeal and smile. No laughing just yet.

I still get up at 11, 2, 4, and 7:30.
but mom says Im so cute Im worth it


expect more photos of him in this outfit I took 100 photos of him yesterday the lighting was great and he was so happy!

Park Time

This past week we went to the park 3 times!
One day we met up with the campbell boys for a play date!

the little btrothers

they dont have the bathrooms open at the parks yet, but chasen didnt have a problem peeing outside.
We didnt know what else to do...




my mom was up this weekend and we went to the park with her too

Ean thought it was just allergies bothering him but later in the afternoon he felt pretty bad and took his temp. 100.7 he has the flu :(

Happy St. Patrick's Day

we spent the day making cookies and cupcakes for easter time
and just hung out with my mom, Dashtyn was a little cranky and it was too windy to play outside.



we made pink lemonade cupcakes, just came in a box. They are really good!

First Trip

Last weekend we went home to nebraska for the first time as a family of 4!
We have out grown our car so kevin only rode with us to cedar rapids where he was dropped off at doggy daycare. A little get away for Kev.

then we were on our way, we were about 40min into the trip when we had to pull over on a gravel road for chasen to pee.
Dashtyn slept the entire time, waking up when we stopped at mc donalds for an hour and let chasen play and then he went back to sleep.

Chasen had to poop when we were about 20 min from my grandparents and he couldn't hold it he had tears in his eyes and said his tummy hurt so we had to stop on another gravel road for him to poop lol

we hung out with family at my grandparents house and Dashtyn got to meet several family members for the first time!

Cousins!!
The boys with both sets of grandparents on my side of the family
Dashtyn and Great Great Grandma Florence

5 Generations

Dashtyn was really good on the ride home too!
I don't think he ever cried in the car once.
