Grandma visits part2 and FHE

Hanging out at the house



We went to see the raptor show and the "big bugs" at the bot gardens

Ella took pictures of us to pass the time before the show.

Birds!






Bugs!





Last Monday we decided to go to the local mini-golf place for FHE. Ella had never been before and she had a blast.

Ella at bridgestreet

I am not done sorting through all the pictures from Grandma's visit, but I wanted to post some pictures I took of Ella over at bridgestreet yesterday. She was a great little model, and we had lots of fun taking pictures at the fountain. I bribed her with pennies to throw in if she posed for me!

Baby blessing and Grandma visits part 1

This past week Jon's Mom flew in from Utah for Wesley's baby blessing and a weeks visit. I haven't got through the pictures from the second half of our week, but here are some from the beginning. We did a photo shoot while she was here:




Laura (Jon's mom) has a picture display of all of her Grandchildren. The pictures are all taken at about this age, in a similar pose, with the child naked and holding up their head to show their chest. It took us a LONG time but we finally got Wesley to cooperate. Here is the final picture.

And some pictures in the fabulous blessing outfit that my mom made for Wes. It is the cutest little tux!



Some cute, but not quite right tries at the "chest picture" for Grandma.


Ella telling the paparazzi "No more pictures!"

After the blessing. Ella was not interested in taking a picture.

Wesley and Grandpa who he gets his middle name from.

More pictures to come later!

Tummy time and sibling love

I just had new pictures printed and mounted for my living room wall. I am in love with the result!

Ella loves being a big sister. She likes to hold Wesley every chance she gets.

He has a mommy!

Watching TV together


Tummy time!

Saturday

Spring is coming! it was wonderfully warm the last two days and the trees are blooming. I am so excited for spring!



Taking Wesley for a walk. Ella wont let me push, at least she is a good driver!


Sitting up to check out the world. Wesley is a big observer, always watching us when he is awake.

Random pictures from the past week

Wesley is starting to be awake more and more each day.

Ella's cousin Brenna came to visit for a week. They love to hate each other! They beg to play together and then spend the whole time bickering. They are such GILRS!

Last week it SNOWED in Alabama. A very unusual occurrence. Thankfully it was all gone by lunchtime.

Ella wanted her picture taken with Wesley, someone doesn't like to share the limelight!

Asleep!

Sure wish I could sleep anywhere!
