Blue pasta

Grandma lynda bought the kids blue pasta when she was here. I made pasta with veggies and shrimp. The kids loved it! Thanks for the fun dinner grandma Lynda.

Brooke tries to walk

Brooke is very close to just walking on her own. She has an amazing ability to squat like a baseball catcher all the time. She will not be one of those kids like caleb that falls all the time. She is overcautious. That is good because we need all the bandades for her brother.

Way to start a morning

You know it isnt going to be a great start to the day When school has been canceled for the trace amount of snow we got last night and when you walk into the door of your babys room and a strong oder of a dirty diaper takes you by surprise. OH MY- This is our 3rd baby and I have changed a lot of dirty diapers but when I went and got Brooke this morning I didnt even know where to start. When I unzipped her sleeping sack her legs were out of her pjs and covered in poop.Her feet up to her belly button- Not good to say the least. I quickly cleaned the sink out and gave her a bath. The clothes----I think they are getting to small- I dont know where to even start with cleaning them. They might have seen there last night of use. I do not think I would ever get the stain out of white PJ's. I would post a picture but I think you get the idea.

On a positive note- Baby Brookie as the kids are calling her- now signs word "more"!! We are now working on drink and sleep.Yeah we just love sign language when our kids are babies. She is now walking steps while holding onto your fingers and has three teeth on the bottom. Getting so big so fast. I hope everyones morning start off better than mine.

Papas visits

Wow in the three days papa was here we did a lot- Most of all we worked on the outside of the house- THANKS dad. I have been having major computer issues and I am looking forward to the time when I live by my two brother in laws for IT services. Anyway Ryan got most of the stuff off my computer and now he said he is throughing it in the trash. We went to the bass pro shop, fishing expo and played lots of games. Fun times.

Girls night Out in the Fan

A good group of friends and I went out to dinner in the fan district last night. It was blue grass night last night. We had great time. Dinner, wine and good friends- what could be better???

Getting Clean

Brooke loves to take a bath with kaitlyn and caleb however she was covered in a very dirty diaper the other day so she took a bath in the sink- she is getting so big.

DSI and explorer

The other night I looked in the play room and this is what I found. Two kids that had got pillows off the couch playing there games in silences. They dont get to play them all the time so it is a special treat!

Orange lover

She loves oranges- we just have to be careful about what we give her because she would eat everything and try to swallow it whole- yikes.

Green Bay family

Although we are from Seattle you would never now it- Ryan has convince all three kids to love the Green Bay packers-

Brooke update

Baby Brooke is now doing all sorts of fun things- She is eating almost everything and loves it- such an easy baby to feed- unlike mr caleb. She loves toast pieces and eggs for breakfast and she now eating lots of beans and noodles for lunches and dinners. She also loves the yo baby yogurt- she can eat an entire yogurt for a meal. it use to take caleb all day to finish a yogurt. She stand up and push a walker things around but really prefers to crawl. She continues to be a good sleeper- going to bed around 830 and up at 8am and three naps during the day. She loves when kaitlyns gets off the buss from school- her entire body tenses up and it is like she is smiling from head to toe- On tues and thursday mornings caleb and her enjoy watching mickey mouse together. In the photos she is enjoying a pizzele cookie from our neighbor.

IT was the first black one every- very cool- the kids had sprite with a strawbery mix in. Amazing
