March 2010 Pictures!

March was a fun month. We started with Austin's 4th birthday. We can't believe how big Austin is. He is a fun kid. Him and Kylie had fun blowing the candles on the cake. He, of course, got a new truck as a present that Kylie helped pick. He is very much into trucks and construction equipment. Him and his class went to the zoo and instead of looking at the animals, he was more amuzed by the tractors and constructions trucks working on a part of the zoo. Jsson is growing quickly too. He is alread rolling on his belly and we think it won't be long until he is crawling around. He is going to be a quick one. Spring is here and the weather can be very unpredictable here in Colorado. We had 2 snow storms (9 inches and 15 inches) followed by warm weather (70s and 80s). So you never know. We look forward to enjoying the outdoors in the next couple of months.

February 2010 Pictures!

February was a short but busy month. We started the month with a lot of cold here in Denver. Ariel had to travel 3 out of 4 weeks in the month, so glad this month is over. Around valentines day we had some family in town for Jason's baby blessing. It was good to see everyone and spend some time in our home. Kylie and Austin enjoyed having everyone here too and they got lots of presents and things from both sets of grandparents. Jason is getting big. He smiles all the time as you can see in the pictures. We took him in for his 2-month check up and he is already 12 pounds, which for us is a big baby. March will be exciting. Austin turns 4 years old on the 4th. Also, March is the snowiest month of the year here in Denver, so we are sure we will see some good storms before the winter is over. Spring will be here too during March. We are looking forward to that.

January 2010 Pictures!

We can't believe January is almost gone. Jason is now 6 weeks old and starting to do a few things, such as smiling and trying to reach things with his hands. He can hold his head up pretty good and loves to have Kylie and Austin around. All 3 kids seem to get along great so far. Kylie is finishing her swimming lessons and doing good at that. Austin gets to go to the pool with her too. Both of them are practically fish. We haven't had hardly any snow this month so far. February is typically dry too, so we are looking forward to March and April, when things get interesting. Ariel has been traveling a lot this year so far and JoLynn has been able to start running again while trying to keep up with the kids. Austin is starting to get excited about his 4th birthday in March (Kylie may actually be more excited about that). We will have all the grandparents come to town in February as we are planning for Jason's baby blessing on Feb 14. That will be fun.

December 2009 Pictures!

December was quite a month for us. We have been very busy lately. We started by going to the hospital on a Friday night 11:30PM thinking that Jason was coming. Turned out to be a false alarm. We came home around 4:30AM on that Saturday. Jason ended up arriving the following Friday at 7:19AM. He came fast. We made it to the hospital at 6AM, so things moved quickly from there. He was 7lbs 15oz and 18 3/4 inches long. For us, that is a big baby. He was actually the biggest of our three. The kids love having him around, especially Kylie who is quite the little mom. On the 22nd we had our 8th wedding anniversary and then, of course, Christmas came quickly. The kids really enjoyed Christmas this year. They are now old enough to get very excited and anxious about presents, trees, lights, etc. We will watch Jason grow in 2010 and should be a fun year.

Some more pictures!

Jason got to meet his siblings today. It was fun to watch...

It's a BOY!

Our new baby arrived this morning, 12/18, at 7:19AM. We got to the hospital at 6:00AM, so it was a close one. He was a lot bigger than what doctors had predicted - 7lbs 15oz. Everyone is doing very well...

November 2009 Pictures!

November was a busy but uneventful month. We are now fully getting ready for the new baby, who will arrive any day. We even have the car seat installed and ready to go. The kids are getting excited about having a new brother or sister. Thanksgiving was quiet here. We actually decided to go out to eat instead of doing the traditional all-day cooking. We actually liked it a lot. It gave us a lot of time to do other things. The day after thanksgiving we went ahead and bought the big screen TV we had wanted for a while and we are quite enjoying it. It will be fun to watch the Broncos in HD. We have not had snow in a few weeks now, which is nice. Actually, we had 60s and 70s during the week of thanksgiving. Cold is coming back now though and snow will follow. During the week that was warm, we went ahead and put the lights on the house and got the Christmas tree out. The kids liked helping with all that and slowly but surely Christmas presents are starting to appear under the tree. December will be very exciting for us. We will have lots of pictures!
