Marlee Is One Month Old

I put her in bed with Billy one morning while I took a shower and this is how she fell asleep, with her arms spread all out.

Here she is her first time to church. We kept her away for a few weeks before we took her. Paranoid mother....I know. Look at those cheeks getting chunky!

I hate the look of these ugly pacifiers but she seems to like it and keeps it in her mouth easier than the other ones. They do make them in pink which I have but these one's are softer.

She does like her swing on occasion, depends on her mood. Her favorite place is being held. Wouldn't you know it, my last baby is a "hold me" baby just like her sister was.

Crew Turns 2

Crew turned 2 on February 21st. We love our crazy Crew, never a dull moment with him around. We celebrated by going to Chuck E Cheese the day before and then did cake and presents on his actual bday. He got this McQueen bike from papa and mimi. He really wanted to help dad put it together.

I'm not to sure that he even knew what was going on but he went with it!

He loved this part, he knew just what to do.

He was terrified of the big rat. Every time Chuck E came around him he would shake and run away. Sound familiar uncle Chris.

The nice thing about him playing on games is he thinks he's playing and you don't even have to put money in. Billy did put money in this one later and helped him drive.

Fun With Family

Chris and Shelley came to visit us. We were so glad to have family around. We didn't know what to do with ourselves when everybody had left. Shelley made sugar cookies with Madisen and Koye. What a good aunt she is! The kids loved it, especially Madi.

We took Chris and Shelley to see Silver Falls.

Here is Crew striking his signature pose.

Koye didn't want his picture taken so he didn't smile.

Braelyn being so cute with Marlee. She was so good with her. She didn't even get jealous when her mommy was loving on Marlee.

Braelyn kept eyeing this sucker! Finally Koye let her have some, he actually let her have quite a few licks....he must really love her to share her slobber and drool because he is really weird about that kind of thing.

We went walking in down town Portland. You can't tell from the picture but they were standing on this grate thing where you could see the road right under you. It scared Madisen to stand on it but finally she followed Koye and did it.

It was freezing that day....don't know what we were thinking. Here is Madi and Bill by the Williamette River.

I thought this was such a cute picture of Shelley and Braelyn.

All three of us......freezing!

Pictures of Marlee

I caught her smiling....probably gas but still so cute!

This is Madisen's favorite thing to do lately. She is such a big help to me, sometimes too much help.

Another sweet picture of our sweet girl.

We thought this picture of Crew was pretty funny. Billy went in to check on him and this is how we found him.

Bill and Carol came up to see us after Marlee was born. Billy took them to Silver Falls with the kids. There was some snow still on the ground in some places.

Here's grandma, Madisen and Koye checking out the view.

The three little munchkins.
