Memorial Day 2009

Mothers Day

9 Weeks

Marley Ann is 9 weeks old today! Here are some pictures that I took today and yesterday. I cannot believe how much she has grown!!!

Hippity Hoppity Kate is Three!

We celebrated Kate's 3rd birthday today with an Easter themed party. The kids had a great time hunting eggs and playing on Kate's new playset.

McKinley and Marley Ann gave Kate a Bitty Baby for her birthday. Here is Kate feeding "Becca" while I feed Marley Ann.

So this is not the best picture of Marley Ann, but it is still cute.

Just Because....

I got a new camera this week and have been snapping away all week. Here are some random pictures that I have taken during the week.

Go Owls!

Saturday was McKinley's first t-ball game. He is #26 on the Owl's team. McKinley had a great time playing and cannot wait to go back next week. I think that the adults had just as much fun watching all the kids "play ball".
It was a little chilly in the morning, but luckily for Kate, Nanny had packed some extra hats and scarfs.

Can't you tell Marley Ann enjoyed the game....I don't think she woke up one time!

That's McKinley that is having to be redirected.....again!

McKinley and another boy on the team spent most of the time when they were out on the outfield picking up rocks and playing in the dirt.

First hit!!!!

First Month Check-Up

Marley Ann went for her 1 month check up yesterday. She weighed in at 9 lbs 10 ozs. I thought that maybe she might have gained a pound, but could not believe that my little piggy had gained 2 1/2 pounds. The doctor was asking how she was eating and sleeping. I told him that she is wanting to eat every 2-3 hours and that we were no where close to getting any good rest at night. He told me to give the girl some cereal. He told me I could do this 1 of 2 ways....1- mix it in her bottle or 2- mix it in a bowl as thick as she could take it and feed her with a spoon. Well, we went with option 2! Here are some pictures of her first feeding. She loved it! We laid her down at 10:30 last night and she didn't wake up until after 4! We all got almost 6 hours of sleep, which was awesome!
Here are some random pictures that I have taken over the past few days.

This is not the best picture of Marley Ann, but I still thought it was sweet.

I know that I have not posted in a while. Needless to say, things have been busy and hectic at the house. Here are a few pictures that I have taken in the past few days. I promise to post more of Marley Ann in the next few days. Since we do not have any small trees around our house, we had to improvise to make an Easter Egg Tree. McKinley and I had a great time hanging the eggs.

Andy got a gas mask at work. McKinley had the best time playing with it. I think that he should have to handle all the stinky diapers at our house!!!
