Catch up


 She is such a champ at sleeping!

These last 8 weeks have flown by. There isn't a whole lot to say, but a lot of cute smiles and cute kids.

(for reasons unbeknownst to me I couldn't get some of the photos to rotate. Sorry....)
 She just loves her brothers!


 One Month old Hannah.
 

 We talked Daddy into a break and went to the park to enjoy the sunshine!

 Minus tornado weather, I sure love spring time!

 These boys love to snuggle with Hannah Jane.
  Heath saw something about Ninja Turtles somewhere and begged for costumes.  He was the brains behind the get ups.  They are some pretty cute Ninja Turtles!

Houston continues to fall asleep in the evenings quite frequently.  Napping is a no go, but come 5:00 he's one tired little guy.

 We watched The Sandlot and it has become one of the boys favorie movies now.  They are always playing baseball and running to get the ball away from The Beast these days.
 Our soup was eaten with chunks rather than slices of bread that night.


 Daddy's locks have grown quite long.  I'm pretty sure his hair grows 2x faster than mine.

 Grandma & Grandpa Fo gave us a couple giant plastic eggs for Easter.  Houston has adopted it as his new helmet. It makes me laugh every time. Cone head anyone?


She tired to eat me!


 Houston continues to fall asleep about 5 of the 7 days a week at the dinner table.  There is something about his chair I think. When we pick him up he is up and at em again in the blink of an eye.

We had had tacos for dinner and he kept asking us for more "Sal Sauce."






 Grandma Fo came to visit us for Conference Weekend.  We had a wonderful time playing!



"Mom, my Hannah Jane, she tried to eat me!"


When Hannah wears a little dress Houston calls it her Super Cape that is in the front too. 

Houston really was impressed with Aunt Katie when they came to visit.
He regularly prays for her.  He will say, Bless Daddy, Mommy, Hannah, Heath and Aunt Katie.

 Heath was telling me, "I think we will have a boy next. I thought Hannah was a boy and she tricked me, so if I think we are going to have a boy, then she will trick me and we will have a girl. We really need it to be another girl so Hannah will have a friend."

 Heath asked, "Where is Nile?"  "In North Dakota with Brittany." "Why?"  "That is where he lives" "Why?" "Because that is where he has a job."  "No, where is the little boy Nile?" "He grew up." "Why?" "Because he wanted to be a Daddy." "Oh, I wanted to play with him."
 The weather has turned beautiful!

The kiddo's and I have been going to the park quite frequently.  I took Heath's training wheels off of his bike and worked with him for about 10 minutes.  After that he took off on his own no problem! Now he is a champ 2 wheel rider.


Houston swiped the camera and snapped this picture of us.  It makes me happy.  Life has been a bit crazier lately, but its nice to see that we still have some quiet normal times.  (even though my hair is  super crazy!)

One Month Hannah


 We celebrated Daddy's 30th Birthday. He requested cherry berries in a cloud for hid cake and mmm.... was it delicious. His Mom had made it when Matt was a kid a few times...I've herd a lot about this dish, but man it was way better than I could have ever imagined. SO Good!



Happy Birthday Daddy! We sure love you!

 We held Hannah's baby shower a couple weeks after she was born since she came the day of her original shower date.  It was complete with a tornado warning and games in the basement, but it was so sweet and fun to spend some time with our wonderful Friends here! Melissa got Hannah a princess towel and the boys love it! They fight over who gets to pretend they are the princess for the day.
 One of Houston's new favorite things to do is to pretend he is in "Jailed" He's been getting pretty creative with it.


 At one Month Hannah was 10# 8oz.  She is a super easy going baby that still sleeps most of the day.  We hardly ever see her little eyes open. She will eat, be awake for a bit, then fuss to be swaddled. I'll wrap her up and lay her down and she falls right to sleep on her own. I've had her bassinet in the livingroom / kitchen since she came home. She is a super sleeper amongst all the noise.  She has been the BEST baby!    She has been smiling at us and it it SO cute!


 Houston just loves Hannah!
 He is always close by.  He calls her "My Hannah Jane."   Quite often after I've moved her to her bassinet Houston will come running to me saying, "Where is my Hannah Jane? Where did she go?"
Very protective little man.





 Hannah LOVES baths.  It's always the time she is the most alert and content. 
We have noticed on the days that she takes a bath, she sleeps through the night.  She has been going to sleep about 10, getting up at 3 or 4ish to eat, then sleep till about 6 eat, and sleep till 10.  On the days she has a bath she will go from 10pm to 6am. I think she may be getting a bath each day till she gets used to that schedule.  : )   
 I love how easily she goes to sleep!
 "Daddy, look at my beard!"









I love listening to Heath talk to Hannah.  He talks to her just like she is an adult, asking her questions, telling her about what he is doing, reading her stories, just like she totally knows what he is talking about.


 The knights love to pretend they are saving our new little princess.
