Walkin' Boy!

Maverik is finally walking! It is crazy to be in the kitchen and see him walk by! It is so cute! It is crazy how fast time flies. I feel like he was just born. He is such a good baby! We love him!

Hanging out with the Tuttles

So we have had a lot of fun just hanging out with the Tuttles. We went to the 10 mile race on Sat and had a birthday party for Mav on Sunday. Other than that we have just been lounging around. We are going to take the kids to the aquarium today. It should be fun. Will is such a riot and my girls are loving taking care of Charly.

Summer Plans

So we started our summer plans a little early. Last week I got the girls out of school early and we went to the Living Planet Aquarium. We have been wanting to go and we had a lot of fun. We are so excited for summer! We have been talking about what we want to do this summer and here is our list:

7. movie night in pj's-Syd

8. Have a birthday party for Maverik-Halle

I'm trying to explain to the girls that we have the whole summer and we don't have to do something everyday! But we are ALL so excited for vacation!

Happy Birthday Maverik!

Yes our cute baby boy is ONE! Where does the time go? I have to say at 4:30 this morning I was ready to lose it! I know it's his birthday but what happened to my great sleeping baby? He has been waking up a lot and last night was up from 4:30-7 am!! So I am going a little crazy today! I think it is because he is getting 4 teeth! I just hope he feels better soon, for both our sakes! But who can be upset with such a sweet baby who loves to smile and is happy most of the time! We LOVE having him in our family!! Happy Birthday Mav!

1 Year

Well, it is hard to believe the one year ago we were in the hospital about ready to have Maverik (aka Junior). What a wild ride the last year has been. After a 5 year drought, I was certain we were in for trouble with a new baby. Heck, it had bee 3 years since we had to worry about diapers.

With 3 beautiful girls, another man around the house was a welcomed blessing. Now the odds are 2 to 1 instead of 4 to 1.

Junior has been a lot of fun and I think the ride is just starting and we have many more adventures. That assuming he makes it to his next birthday. Lately he has gotten out of his sleeping habits and I think Britt is ready to kill the little squirt.

So , I am sitting here blogging when I should be cleaning. Like I said, I hate to clean. For the last week Halle has had a differernt theme for kindergarten each day! Today was Pirate Day. We borrowed some stuff from a friend and I made a fake eye patch. I thought she looked so cute. She has had cookie day, bubble day, watermelon day, teddybear day and tommorow I am going to help with beach day! It has been really fun. Except on teddy bear day I sent her with a bear and then after she left I found her paper and it said she was supposed to bring a snack and some books! I felt so bad! When I picked her up I said, "were you supposed to have a snack?" She said, "yeah but the teacher had wheat thins" Thank goodness! She said the teacher let her use her books too. That is just me lately, a day late and a dollar short! Oh well!

Race Weekend

Yesterday we ran in a 5k race. I ran with my friends and James pushed Maverik in the stoller. It was very fun. The race was Running with Angels and was a benefit run for a couple of different causes. The weather was warm but nice. I had my fastest 5k (out of 3 :). My time was 26:56. I was very excited. One of my friends, Jen was 25:12 and my other friend was like 50:00. James was around 50 min too. Maverik slept the whole time in the baby jogger. If anyone has done a race, you know how fun it is and the adrenaline you have. In Feb. we (my sisters and I) ran London's Run. It was Awesome!! I hope we can all do it next year!!
