6 months!

I cant believe my little baby is 6 months old already! And he is huge!!!! He weighs 21 pounds and is 28 inches long. Its amazing how fast they grow.

Mother's Day

One of the many perks to motherhood is that there is now a new holiday on which I get presents and special treatment! Thanks in part to President Bush, for mother's day I got an Apple I-Touch (gotta love that economic stimulas...we are just doing are part to help the economy!!!)

We had dinner at my parents house (my dad even cooked) and then went to Gus' parents house to visit.

Me and Jack, my mom and Titan, Grandma Russell, Devon and Rusty, and Melissa and Brody.

Gus' mom, Jack, and me.

While the present and special treatment was nice, it really is nothing compared to the joy that my little Jack brings me. I am so grateful to my Heavenly Father that I have been so blessed to be his mom.

Friends

A couple of weeks ago my three best friends from High School came over with all their kids. Here are some pictures of the kids.
Averi (4, Katie's), Lilly (2.5 Marguerite's), Rylie (2, Kirsten's), Ethan (3.5 Kirsten's)

And here is a picture with Jackson added in. Marguerite also has two more..twins boys that are 4 months old.

Rusty

Every Monday morning I get to watch my nephew Rusty. Here are some cute pictures of him playing in my yard. Gotta love that red hair!

My brown eyed boy

Both Gus and I have brown eyes so I was pretty sure that all of our kids would have brown eyes. In the beginning his eyes were dark blue, but now they are definetly brown, and they couldn't be cuter.

Dreaded Yard Work

When we moved into our new house in January we had never actually seen our yard due to the rediculous amount of snow we got this year. As the snow starting melting, I got more and more nervous about what we would find under all that snow. What we ended up finding was a thick layer of dead leaves. Our yard has a bunch of trees and one really big tree in the front yard. Well no one had raked up the leaves last fall so they were all there waiting for us.

Here is the result of several hours of hard work on Gus' part. Just the front yard resulted in 25 trash bags full of leaves. Our yard slopes and has a ton of rock retaining walls...its going to be a lot of work, but has a ton of potential.
