Another Milestone reached!

You guessed it. Sam is walking! He took three steps on his 11 month birthday (April 13). Since then he has taken a few steps here and there. His preferred method is still crawling but I'm sure it won't be long until that changes. Here is a video I got of him today. And...I blog in spurts so this is one of five new posts...keep reading (and don't forget to comment).

Ice Cream

This Saturday I walked to the town candy store with most of the neighborhood kids. Along the way someone asked me if all of the kids were mine. I guess they could have been. I would have an 11 year old, twin 8 year olds, twin 6 year olds, and an 11 month old. The thought of that makes me very, very tired! I'm glad I just have my two but it was fun to spend some time with the others as well.




This picture is of Abby, Minnie, and Paige.




Here are the rest of the kids. Cory and Andrew are the two boys at the end and you can see the tip of Sam's stroller behind Abby and Minnie.

New Neighbors

Our new neighbors moved in earlier this month. They are a very nice family with three children. A boy named Kai who is a year younger than Abby. They play really well together. They also have a very sweet almost three year old girl named Amara and another girl name Brielle. Brielle is three days younger than Sam. I took a couple pictures of them and even though he looks like he is about a year older than her they are only three days apart.

Spring Break

Abby had spring break a couple of weeks ago. She had a fun week. On Monday we watched one
of my friends little boy. His name is Alec and he will be two in May. I'm not sure if Janelle will let him come over anymore though becuase Abby decided to dress him up a bit.




We took Alec to the park becuase it was a beautiful day. I had to work Tuesday-Thursday but Abby had a sleep over at Grandma and Grandpa's on Tuesday night. She spent all of Wednesday with them. Then on Friday we met up with Janelle and Alec and drove to the Tulip Festival. We were about a week too early as there were not a whole lot of tulips in bloom yet. But, we still had a good time and took a few pictures.

Sam's Frist Birthday Party

Matt and I took a birthing class before Sam was born. There were nine couples in the class and we have stayed in touch with a few of them. Logan was the second baby born of the nine and his birthday was April 14. We were invited to celebrate with him along with one of the other boys born from the class. Eli was born on May 9. Here are some pictures of the boys together.
