Easter Egg Hunt

We missed the Easter egg hunt in town this year so we did one in our backyard. John did a great job hiding the eggs and the girls had a ton of fun finding them.

No More Paparazzi

I think TJ is getting sick of me taking pictures of him!!

Playing with the Girls

Entertaining the girls has gotten to be a little harder the past week. I haven't wanted to take Treston out too much so we have been spending a lot of time at home. Today we painted some beautiful pictures, tomorrow Play-Do!!

1 week old

Our little TJ is a week old today. We celebrated by taking a long nap together then he's sisters read him some stories.

Treston Johnathon

Here are a couple of pictures of our little guy. He was born on March 29th at 11:26 am after about 10 hours of labor (he was taking he's time). He weighed 7lbs 14 oz and is 20 1/2 inches long. The girls are doing wonderfully with him. Addison has a complete come-apart when he cries and actually yelled at the doctor to be nice to her baby when he was getting a check up. Lydia loves to help anyway she can. She sat and held him for 15 minutes the other day.

We feel so blessed to have him in our family and can't wait to watch him grow.

The Nursery

So I have finally gotten some pictures taken of the nursery. There is a few things I still need to do. I have to make a new cover for the mobile (the one it came with didn't match) and I need to finish a wooden T I bought to decorate to put on the self above he's crib. Of course the picture frames are still empty but hopefully soon little TJ will make an appearance so I can fill them. Besides a few little things though we are ready for him!

Lydia Turns Five!!!

My little girl is five!!! I just can not believe how fast she grew up. We celebrated her birthday by taking her to Chuck-E-Cheese with some friends and then her dad took her to the indoor waterpark for a fun day of playing in the water. Here are some pictures of her past five birthdays.
