I.AM.BACK.IN.BUSINESS.....

So, I guess I have a lot to report since my last post. I was waiting on getting pictures off my other computer but so far haven't made any progress:( Let's do a quick review...Hailey turned 5 in June, Uncle Jay got married in July out in Colorado, Hailey started school in August along with Aubrey starting a bottle (thank you Lord)and Austin becomming a BIG boy!

10 Year Class Reunion

At the Wilderness Ridge

My good friends...both of who were in our wedding, Michelle and Kristi.

This past weekend we traveled to Lincoln for my 10 year. It was fun to see the classmates that made it back. I enjoyed catching up and seeing all the little ones.

I think this helmet me be a little too big, you think??


This helmet use to be mine when I was little...fun to see Austy in it.

Austin has been busy potty training and getting use to new glasses...neither are going very well. He hates change, but we found that her LOVES baseball. Hailey started playing t-ball and Austin was lucky enough to get the getup too!

Fancy Nancy

Hailey wanted to have Fancy Nancy party...Grammy Patty bought her an outfit fit for the party. She had some friends over and they had a blast, tea parties and all.

Aubrey's Adventures

First time in her highchair.

Aubrey's Tutu

Three months old!!

Aubrey is almost 4 months but I will recap what she has done up til now...sorry for the late post! She has been such a blessing to us and I am thankful everyday for her. My prayer for her is that she will get over all her sicknesses. She fights each infection like a champ...still so hard to see her sick. She is the happiest little girl ever...we enjoy her smiles laughter and all she has to say. Aubrey is my biggest baby to date, weighing in at 12lbs 2oz at 3 months. She sleeps thru the night when feeling well...praying she will continue on with that soon. She has rolled over a couple times. She has also started joining us for dinner. It's crazy that she is sitting so well in her highchair...maybe she will be my only baby who will actually eat baby food. Stayed tuned....

End of the Road...

Hailey's 5th Birthday with the family.







Hailey's dance recital..."Dance TV". I would have to say, I think they had the cutest outfits.:)






It's been the END for quite a few things this past month. The end of preschool for Hailey the end of dance and the end of the 4's...for now! Here are some pictures to capture what we have been up to.

Fun with the Lowe's

We had the privilege to stay with some friends when we went to Omaha last week. Abbey has 3 beautiful kids who were so kind to share their toys and rooms with us. The kids had an absolute blast and are still talking about their friends. Abbey and I contemplated taking the 6 kids out on the town but decided that we would be CRAZY if we did, so her husband John was nice enough to watch the kids so just the two of us could go out. Thanks for such a fun time.

Gymnastics Program

Both kids were involved in gymnastics this spring. They both loved going and learned a lot. Hailey was asked to be on the pre-competitive level in the fall...until then we have a lot of practicing ahead of us:) The kids are always saying, "watch me watch me" as they do summer saults and cartwheels in the living room. Here are some pics from their program.

A little of THIS and THAT

I can't believe that Aubrey is almost 3 months and I am just posting her 2 month pictures. We have been on the go doing this and that. Aubrey is growing so fast:( She is also proving to be my BEST sleeper, sleeping 8-9 hours!! Praise the Lord for that. We had a wonderful Easter with family and have celebrated grandma and grandpa's birthdays. We are also so excited to announce that our unlce Jay is getting married!!!! Here are a few pics of the things we have been up to this past month.

Little Helpers

The first question most people ask is how are the older two doing with Aubrey...the answer is GREAT. They are always wanting to help and never stop kissing her. Hailey is especially a big help...feeding her and "trying" to change her diapers. It has been so fun to see how much they love her and how proud they are to have her as their little sister. I feel so blessed with the 3 gifts God has given to me. "Every good and perfect GIFT comes from above"

Weekend with the Vontz Family

This past weekend Uncle Jay came home to visit Aubrey for the first time. We had a funfilled weekend with the Vontz family. This weekend was also the second meeting of Jay's girlfriend Erin. The kids enjoyed being up late and enjoying everyone's company.

Fitst bath in the tub...Hailey can't wait to join her.


Last week we had out of town guests...Great Aunt Cece and Aunt Korrie.

Happy 1 Month to Aubrey

One month ago today, God blessed us with the addition of Aubrey Christine. After a rough start she is home, happy, and healthy. We are starting to get into a new routine and all 3 kids are adapting well...I on the other hand am still not use ti the middle of the night feedings. Aubrey had been smiling quite often and I tell myself it's not b/c of gas...it's because she is a happy baby. She by far is my best eater, nursing well and taking a bottle. Thank you Lord. She weighes 8lbs 2oz and continues to outgrow her newborn clothes. It it so hard to believe that she is already one month...time has gone way too fast. My challenge has been to live each day to it's fullest and to enjoy every minute with my kids that God has given me.

Yesterday Aubrey took her first trip to Lincoln to go shopping and meet some new friends. We were lucky enough to visit our newest friend Beau Epp. We are praising God for his great health and safe arrival. Congrats to the Epp's.

Future Friends

We took Aubrey over to meet some of our friends. Owen Ablott was born exactly one month before Aubrey. It was "love" at first sight!! Can't wait til they can play together.

18 day Check Up

Since Aubrey came home at almost 2 weeks old they postponed her 2 week check up to an 18 day old appointment. All went well and she is growing like a weed. We are so excited that she checked out well and so thankful for the healing that has been done in her little body. We are thanking Jesus everyday for Aubrey's life and for being her healer. Here are a few of the MANY photos that have been taken since we have been home.
