Kenny Chesney

I got a free ticket to go see Kenny Chesney!!! It was such a great concert, and we were in the 10th row. Sugarland and Pat Green were there too. Sugarland was awesome!! I just loved how cute she was. Kenny put on such a great show too. By the end of the night, I thought I wasn't going to have a voice.

Memorial Day

When we were in NY, my whole family was there. My mom and my dad. My grandmother, Mammy, and some of my cousins. It was so wonderful!

Hola Chase

For Memorial Day weekend, we went to NY to visit my family. And to meet my sister Delia's new addition, Chase. He was born at 28 weeks and was 2lbs 10oz. He was very little and was in the NICU for two months. Now he weighs almost 5 lbs and is finally home. He is still on oxygen, but at least he's home!!!! We had a great time with my family. Time together is few and far between so we cherish every moment that we're with them. Oh, and for those of you who don't know...my mom is a Christian now. On April 15th, she called me and said she was done running!!! What a day that was!

Amelia's Development

As far as the doctors are concerned, Amelia is developing normally. She has hit all the "normal" marks (with the exception of sitting). We are so blessed by our little angel! So here are some pictures of her "developmental" phases. She is rolling around all over the place. No more laying her down and walking away!! (She rolled under her swing by herself the other day) She has two teeth, and she is teething again. And we practice daily helping her to sit.

Hayden's here!!!

On Saturday, May 19th at 5:29PM our nephew, Hayden Isaac was born. Weighing in at 9lb!!!! He's a big boy!! After Zeke's party we got a call that he was born, so we headed to the hospital. Zeke was excited to meet his new cousin and so were we.

Birthday Party...Spiderman is here!!!!

For Zeke's birthday, we rented a costume, and Spiderman came to his party. He was sooooo thrilled! All his friends loved it too. Well, some were a little scared at first, but they warmed up to him. Zeke has also really loved the idea of costumes lately. So he got a Batman costume from his friends, Fergus and Freddy, and Spiderman costume from his Grandma Marlene. He loved that!!! He and his friends also loved the Spiderman pinata...

Bath time

For the first time, Ezekiel and Amelia took a bath together. It was hard to keep the cup away from Zeke. He wanted to pour water on Amelia. He just wanted to help, but with some supervision, Amelia was clean. It was just so adorable. Ezekiel is such a great big brother. He just loves Amelia. And man, can he make her laugh. They get along so well. Let's just hope it stays that way as they get older!

Happy Birthday Ezekiel

Ezekiel celebrated his birthday on May 12th. He was so excited when he woke up. He, of course, wanted to open his presents right away. We planned his birthday party for the next weekend (just in case Uncle Jeff and Aunt Heidi had their baby- which they didn't...haha). But he had a big day on his birthday anyway. A friend of Zeke's, Caiden, had is birthday party. The Zeke went to Chucky Cheese with Grandma and Pap pap. What a big day. Oh, and I added a picture of Zeke shooting a web (he is in LOVE with Spiderman). Needless to say, most of his presents were...Spiderman!

Busy Body

For the past several months, Zeke randomly asks to talk to people on the phone. He wants to talk to his Grandmas, his friends, his aunts or uncles...pretty much anyone. It hilarious!!! This spring he also started to learn how to pedal his bike. We were so excited! He was too.

Easter Day

On Easter, it was pretty crazy. Waking up and going to church at 7:00AM to get ready for the tatoo artist and set up for the drama and everything else that is normal to set up. After church we went to Nathan's parents house to celebrate Easter. Dad, Gwenda, and Ryan went as well.

Easter

My dad, Gwenda and Ryan came out to our house for Easter this year. It was a great weekend, minus the fact that Zeke had to go to his Easter egg hunts in a winter coat and hat!!!! Especially since we'd experienced such nice days prior to Easter. Easter Sunday was great too. If you want to check out what we did for our Easter service, a couple newspapers in Columbus did articles and here is one of the links copy the first part and then paste it then copy the next part and add it to what you already pasted. http://www.dispatch.com/dispatch/content/local_news/stories/

Too long

Okay, it has been way too long. Life has been CRAZY!!! Ever since Easter, we've pretty much been going non-stop. So I've been thinking about how badly I need to keep up on the blog, so I decided I would take time out (the kids are still sleeping) and blog a little about the last month or so of our lives. So here goes...

FIRST TOOTH

On Friday, Amelia's first tooth came in. We were soooo excited!!!!!! Her tooth is on the bottom and her second tooth is about ready to come through right next to it. I'll try to get a picture and post that too.

Nate Vaill

It has been almost four years since Nathan saw his high-school friend, Nate Vaill. Last weekend we went up to Nathan's hometown, and saw Nate and his band in concert. We wanted to surprise him, and man was he surprised. I think when he saw us, he forgot the verse he was in the middle of singing. It was a great time and so good to see him.

Our Little Koala

Zeke loves to climb the tree outside of our apartment. He says, "Look, Mama, I'm a koala".

What a Cutie

Amelia is so cute. For the past month or so, she has started sucking on her fingers and holding a blanket close to her face. What a cutie!!!!

Library Days

One Saturday, we all went to the library to see a play put on by the Columbus Children's Theater. Zeke loved the play and spent some time reading books with Daddy.

In Formation

Ezekiel, for some reason, loves lining all his toys up. I'm not sure what this tells us about his personality, but I think it's pretty stinkin' cute!!

We thought we would try and see if Amelia would eat cereal. So one day Nathan and I took turns and gave it a try. She did okay, but we'll keep practicing with her so that when she turns 6 months (in just a couple weeks) she'll be eating like a champ.

Fun Fair

We just recently went to a community function called the fun fair. As you can see, Ezekiel and Amelia got their faces painted. Zeke's friend, Sofie, was there too. There were games and food. Zeke loved the bowling game and basketball game. Amelia was just along for the ride!!
