My piglets
















I bought these matching outfits before Bryson was born. I'm so glad I did! They look adorable in them...............I'm not being partial either........lol.

Squeaks is getting Big!!







If you are wondering why we call him "Squeaks", it's because since he was first born and even now his cry sounds so squeaky. My baby boy is getting too big too fast!! He weighs 13 lbs and 8oz. I can't believe he's already in 3-6 month clothes and is almost in size 2 diapers. He gets more fun everyday. He has started cooing (especially G's) and smiling with those melting dimples (just like his big brother). I can't grasp that he's been here for almost 3 months. He is the most happy, low-maintenance baby you could imagine. He has been sleeping through the night (10-7) since he was 1 1/2 months old. He is ADORED by his big brother, and of course Mommy and Daddy. Brayden sometimes doesn't realize his strength with him, but mostly he's very loving. I just know these two are going to be the best of friends. That makes my heart so happy!!

Kansas Trip






















Jimmy had a very busy week lastweek, so the kiddos and I loaded up for a week long visit to The Ratzlaff Home. We had such a wonderful time!! Hillsboro is such a unique little town. Even though I have been there several times, it seems I find new things to love each time I visit. We filled our days with trips to the aquatic center (which we all loved), walks, bike rides, softball games, and snow cones. They made us feel so welcome in their home. I have to admit I was nervous to travel with a two month old, especially overnight. He was an ANGEL!! Micah and Amanda couldn't believe how good of a baby he was. The only time he fussed was food time. He even sleeps through the night.....10:00 to 7:00. I'm so blessed to have such a low maintenance baby. Brayden loved, loved, loved having Brekyn, Kingzley, and the 3 dogs to play with everyday. Brayden was quite the handful, as always my high maintenance child. Hopefully he will grow out of it soon. Thank you Amanda and Micah for your patience with him. We were not ready to leave on Saturday, even though it had been a week. We would still be there now if it were possible. I always have such a sense of fullness and peace after my visits. Miss you guys and thanks again for the wonderful visit!
