Playtime

Jennsen is now 6 months old. We are trying solid foods now, mostly she just likes chewing on the spoon, but who can blame her she has teeth coming in.
Colin has found a new favorite hangout spot. He loves to sit on the top shelf in our linen closet. I know, weird!

A few days ago we were hanging out with some of our friends, Addy and Brayden. Addy and Jennsen played together on the floor until Addy got hungry and Jennsen fell asleep.

This is Colin and Brayden eating sandwiches together. After this they chased each other around the room and played basketball. We're lucky to have such great friends.

So Colin is now 2, Jennsen is 5 months, and me and Ben have been married for 4 years! Wow! Anybody want to tell me how lucky I am? No need. I feel lucky! Ben's great and the kids are wonderful. Colin and Jennsen are both angels from heaven. Colin is so funny as he is getting older. Just the other day I asked him to give me a kiss and he grabbed my face between his little hands and kissed me right on the face, he's got so much personality. Jennsen has found her toes and has two of her teeth.

Jennsen loves attention, especially from her daddy.

Colin loves outside, and anyone who will take him.

So these are my angels. They are really funny and great to be around.

Does anyone else think of Ben? :)

Colin and Jennsen

Believe it or not, Colin is a great big brother. He is always kissing and holding Jennsen, and she loves it. These two couldn't be closer.
Colin wanted to be in the picture, so he squatted down and smiled, he just wouldn't hold still though.

Jennsen loves to smile, especially in the mornings.

Three-way kisses

These three love hanging out. You couldn't find happy people.

We pulled out some bubbles the other day and Colin was so excited.

We got lots of big, teethy grins and even more laughter.

We love spending time together.

Jennsen Rae

Sorry everybody. Things get a little crazy after having your second baby, and I've seriously neglected the blog. These pictures were taken by my sister-in-law, Cori. She does great work. These pictures of Jennsen when she was only a week old.
I love her in red. I think it is so cute.

Jennsen was very good for the pictures, just slept the whole time. Of course she's so little that she rarely does anything else.

Cori took a picture of Jennsen on the blanket I made. I wanted to have something to bring Jennsen home in, since we were so unprepared for Colin, so I made her this blanket. I loved it so much I decided that I need to make more.

Jennsen is so sweet. She is a good little baby, sleeps and eats very well. She is already getting so big, she is 3 months old now, I can't even believe it. I'll try and put some new pictures up as soon as I can.

She's Here!

Little Jennsen Rae is here. She's a little early but she is a good healthy baby. These aren't the best pictures, but I will post more later.

Here she is holding daddy's hand after they put in her IV.

Brand new baby. So sweet.

Mommy is very happy to have Jennsen home and healthy. We are a very lucky family to be blessed with such a sweet little girl.

Merry Christmas

Once again, it has been awhile. Sorry. I can't believe the new year is already here and I'm about to pop with a new baby. So far everything is going great, but it probably won't be much longer till we have a little girl around.
Colin is getting cuter everyday. He's started throwing tantrums, but if this is what the terrible twos are going to be like, I'll take it! He is still such an angel.

He's licking his fingers while eating a chocolate cupcake. I know I spoil him. He is still a great eater and he is getting so big, but he is still a very skinny boy.


Colin loves to think that he is a grown up. Here him and daddy are working on their homework (actually just daddy is), but Colin is so happy to be doing anything like daddy.
Drew, Ash and the boys came and stayed over at my parents house for Christmas. Colin loved having his cousins to play with. Especially Mac, who calls him "Colly Wolly" and Colin loves to follow him around. They are watching Thomas together on Colin's little TV.Everybody loves a good dance party. Ben and Annie took the three boys into the front room and turned on some music, and they went wild. After awhile just about everybody joined them and we had a big dance party. Colin was into it the most. He loves to dance.

Mac started adding dance moves like tackling his brother Gray and then Gray would get up and immeadiately tackle Colin, who didn't think it was as fun. It was great to have them around for Christmas.

Big Brother

Colin is such a big boy, and yes, for those of you who don't know I'm pregnant with a little girl, due March 3rd. We are trying to get Colin prepared for a little sister. He already acts very grown up.

Colin really likes staying with Grandma and Grandpa or "GA-GA". He's a very good hugger and loves to have "GA-GA" share his food.

Colin loves to watch Signing Time and he now signs quite a few words. He signs mom, dad, dog, bird, cat, more, food, flower, milk, water and quite a few others. Colin and Daddy have a good time together. They are so alike it's almost creepy.

This last picture is of Colin eating his own bowl of popcorn while watching a movie. He saw that I had the camera and gave me the biggest grin. He is such a cheese ball.
