Ty's end of School Year Program

It is so hard to believe Ty's first year in school is over.  What a year of learning.  He started out screaming when I dropped him off and now he can't stop talking about his friends and how much fun he had when I come to pick him up.  I am so grateful for Mrs. Kasir and Mrs. Ayers.  They were wonderful with Ty this year.  He as definitely grown.    

Ty, Mrs. Kasir, Hampton

Singing songs for all us sappy parents.

Itsy Bitsy Spider.  

Ty, Abby, Maddie

Hampton is always a hoot.  Love that boy.

Time for a snack with Kaitlyn

Silly boy with Maddie.  I'm hoping to use this pic on their wedding day .

This picture melts my heart.  When did he get so big?

Best Teachers EVER!  

LAST DAY OF SCHOOL DANCE!

So proud of all you learned this year Ty.  You have become such a big boy.  Mommy and Daddy love you!

Water Day!

How much fun!

Today the kids got to go outside and have water day at school.  Sprinklers, paints, water buckets, squirt guns, and POPSICLES!  

Look at these cute kids. They are so ready to get outside.

Ty is not a fan of the sprinklers.  He just doesn't like the water in his face.

But he loves to play with Maddie in the water bins!

Who doesn't love a good Popsicle? What a great way to end a school day.     

Luke's First Year in Heaven

So today, Ty and I went to send you messages in heaven.  He picked green balloons because they are his favorite color and he thought it could be your favorite color too.  I hope you enjoyed your cards.  Ty wrote his name and your name on his card all by his self. I sent you a special message.  I hope it made you smile.  

Luke has a friend in heaven.  Annabelle.  We visit her while we are visiting Luke.  Ty wanted to send her a flower in heaven, because according to him, girls like flowers.  So we picked a flower (if you look hard, you can see the yellow flower we tied to the string, the stem is real long), tied it to the balloon and sent it to sweet Annabelle.  I'm sure she enjoyed it.  

Logan's First Month

Whew...I had almost forgot how much work a newborn was....but Logan was sure to remind me.  She is such a good baby.  Breastfeeding is going well. Not having to supplement at all.  You go girl, and me!  Becuase I am such a lucky girl, my mom and dad have come over at night to help and my sister has come some too.  They stayed up with her through the night and I just had to wake for the feedings.  Wow. What 3 straight hours of sleep will do for ya.  Logan has started sleeping for a longer period of time only if she is laying on my chest.  Let's just say, we have spent many a nights on the couch sleeping.  

So here are her 2 week stats:
Height: 23 1/2 inches
Weight: 9lbs 3oz
Head: 14 3/4
I forgot to write down the percentiles.

So here's how it went down...

So here's how it went down....On March 29th I was home cleaning a little.  I started with contractions around 2 pm....by 6;30 they were pretty good.  My sister came over to check on me.  She was a bit excited. She hung around for a while and finally I sent her on her way.  I told her if I needed her I would call.  Well, I tried to hold on for a while.  Around 2 am I finally called the doctor.  Dr. Stands was on call.  I really like him. I knew my doctor came on call at 8 am.  She delivered Ty and I really wanted her again.  But that didn't work.  I had to call Missy.  It was time to head to the hospital.  This time Travis didn't lay in bed.  Haha.  I got my shower.  Didn't rush too much and we headed out the door.  These contractions were beginning to be a tad bit much. By the time we reached the hospital, walking was no fun.  Finally, I got checked in and hooked up to a monitor.  Oh boy the pain.  The contractions were coming FAST so they gave me a shot of something to slow them down. uh...that hurt.  It slowed them down but not the intensity. I was having another C-section and Dr. Stands was waiting to hear from the hospital to see if he needed to come in.  I believe that was a yes.  Come on in.  Lets have a baby.

No joke contractions!

 That smile means I am close to delivery!

 One more family photo op!   Missy woke him up to be there with us.

Pure Joy!

Luke's First Birthday

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LUKE!

What a day.  A day that is so different than I thought it would be.  Never did I imagine that Logan would be celebrating his day with us.  Oh how I miss him.  With every bone and fiber of my body.  To just hold him one more time.  And I will.  One day. But for now, JESUS gets to hold him.  How awesome is THAT!  Luke, I can't imagine what a birthday celebration in Heaven must be like, but I am sure it is some kinda party.  You are ONE.  I bet you are walking now.  I'm sure Grandma Colleen has put a fishing pole in your hands and Nana Lynn has cleaned you up over and over.  I can see the smile on your face right now.  

So this is how we celebrated here.  I was still not able to drive, so grandma and grandy took us to see you.

Ty wanted to bring you a balloon.  It had pictures of balloons on it as well.  He said you would like it.  I'm sure you did.  Logan had fun getting out of the house as well.  We had you cupcake flag with the pinwheel up.  Tell God I said thank you for the breeze.  It was wonderful to see it spinning. Once we got home, we had cake and sang you happy birthday.  Sure wish you were here to blow out the candles.  We miss you so much.  Love you forever!
