Happy 3rd Birthday Cohen!

Photobucket

Our number 1 son just turned 3 years old yesterday. I was just recently talking to a friend about how fast they grow up and how it is so hard to even remember them as babies. That is definitely how I feel about Cohen. He is getting so big.

Photobucket

Cohen has gotten to the point where he doesn't really want his picture taken anymore. He just turns away and goofs off. I am really happy I even got a few I could be proud of. Cohen is quite the character. I've been wondering if he is going to be a class clown. He's been making up his own language and just being very silly overall.

But combined with that silliness he loves to help us out. I really need to take advantage (lol) of this time. That way as he gets older it will hopefully continue.

Cohen is also all boy. Very active and at times a little aggressive. But at the same time he is very loving and caring, especially towards his little sister. He is definitely keeping us on our toes.

Happy 3rd Birthday Cohen!! Mommy and Daddy love you very much and look forward to seeing you grown into an amazing Man of God!

Avery - 9 Months

Photobucket

It's hard to believe that in 3 shorts months Avery will be one year old. Time is getting away too fast! This monthly picture go around I had a hard time narrowing down my favorite photos. But I did. Although I could post tons more of this cutie.

Photobucket

Ahhh, nine months old. You can't just put her down and go about your business anymore. She is crawling everywhere and at a much faster pace. She is never where you left her. And she has gotten pretty good at finding me when she needs/wants me, which is still often. She also pulls herself up on everything and has even taken a few steps, but it's not very often.

She has begun to cut her top two teeth. I will be glad once they have completely broken through. Avery has also began to eat more big people food. Well, I should say I'm trying to get her to eat more big people food. She loves herself some cheerios. But won't eat the banana or apples. We are going to try some good veggies next and see what happens.

Avery I think is going to have one spitfire of a personality. She use to be good about it not bothering her if you took something from her, but lately she's shown otherwise. We just laugh though. It's really cute. It is so fun to see her personality continue to develop.

Happy 9 Months Avery Rose! We love you so much!

Celebrating Mother's Day

Every Mother's Day, our church has a baby dedication. And since we just had our Avery, it was time for her to be dedicated. So, Sunday morning, along with five other families, Avery was dedicated.

Photobucket

After church that morning, we headed to First Watch for some brunch, along with 200 other people. It was my first time going. The food was perfect, even after waiting an hour for a table. The kids behaved and we had both of our parents there with us.

Cohen enjoyed an extra large chocolate chip pancake.

Then after brunch we headed to Jason's parents home to take some family photos. And to just relax before calling it a night.

As you can see we didn't get any pictures of the grandfathers. But Father's Day is just around the corner.

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to my Mom!

My mom has been working really hard as of late. Well, she's always been a hard worker. Her job though lately has been very demanding. We won't get into it, but it's not a job I could ever do, and you have to be a very strong person mentally to do it.

Photobucket

I love you Mom! Hope you can enjoy this special day!
