MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND

We had a super busy Memorial Day weekend!! Beginning on Saturday morning, we took advantage of the beautiful weather and went to the parade. We're not really into the race so much, but the parade was lots of fun!!! It was neat to see all the race car drivers. (JUST FOR TIFF: Hey, that's Scott Dixon!!!)

The kids couldn't wait to see what was coming next!!

Then, Jason & I went to a cook-out on Saturday night.

Waking up on Sunday morning, we decided to drive down to Cincinnati and see Nana. We also got to see Aunt Michelle, Emma, and Aunt Kim too! This was the first time Aunt Chelle got to meet Axten, because she has been recovering from back surgery, and can't travel very far. Emma was a natural with Axten. She helped me change his diaper, and feed him, and she loved playing with him!!

This is Aunt Chelle!!

Here's Aunt Kim!!

Emma has the magic touch!!!

I just love his grin!!

On Monday, we went to my Dad's house. He's a master on the grill!! And Edna makes THE BEST cakes ever!!

Haille loves her baby cousin!!

And just like that, the weekend is over. The saying is true: Time flies when you're havin' fun!! I feel like I need an extra day off to rest!!!

LAST DAY OF SCHOOL

Haille and Trentin's last day of school was last Wednesday!! Waa-hoo!!! I'm super excited too because that gives me a break from checking homework!!! They both worked real hard this year, and we are so proud of them.

HAILLE'S TRIP

Haille's class took a field trip to the Indianapolis Zoo!! They got to create their own t-shirts to wear, and this is the one Haille made. She colored the picture, and then Mrs. Perkins transferred it to the shirt. She did a great job!!

Here we are - on our way to get our pictures taken!! They turned out so good, I can't wait to get them back in two weeks!!

Baby Food

Axten has been trying baby food!! We started with veggies first. So far he likes sweet potatoes, carrots, sweet peas and squash. He absolutely DOES NOT like green beans! Next up - bananas!!!

I LOVE my new chair!!!!

Four Months Old!!

Here we are, another month has passed so quickly!! Axten had his 4-month check-up at the doctor. He is now 20 lbs. 14 oz. and 27 in. long. He's in the 95th percentile for height, and he's off the charts for weight. His doctor said he's about a pound overweight. I'm not worried though - chunky babies are the cutest!!! He had to get his immunizations, which is the part that I dread, and of course, he cried until I picked him up. He's a healthy boy!!!

While we were waiting for the doctor to come in, Axten was laying on the table. I was standing next to him, talking to him & just playing with him. And he does this for the very first time:

Thankfully, I have my camera with me everywhere I go!! I wanted to jump up and down and laugh and scream, but I had to refrain because we were in a doctor's office. I immediately called Jason to tell him what he did, he was glad I got it on video so he could see it too.

Just to be sure, I let him do it again:

Although, I do prefer that he rolls around ON THE FLOOR!!!

Mother's Day

I had a great mother's day!! Even though it was rainy & gloomy outside, we had a good time. Everyone hung out at Aunt Tiff's and ate yummy spaghetti & had some delicious ice-cream cake. I got some beautiful roses and a new cell phone!!! Then we went to see baby Kyndall for a while. We headed home, and I got to finish my day with a good ol' nap. Exactly what I needed!!!!

My Little Catchers

Both Haille and Trentin love being the catcher for their teams!!!

Our New Baby Cousin!!!

Kyndall Ash Lynn Stall was born Wednesday, May 7, at 4:05 pm. She weighed 7 lbs, and was 18 in. long. We're so excited she's finally here!!! She's SOOOOOO tiny!!!
