Time is flying ...

Oh my! I can't believe that time is passing by so fast. Aaron is now teething and it's not pretty. He will be 7 months in 8 days. Where does all the time go? He now weighs in at 20 lbs and is 27 1/2 inches long. Just when I finally get his clothes to fit the next day he's out grown them. Still he keeps us all laughing. He just loves Molli. She can get him to laugh when he is not feeling well.

He also is getting quite the leg muscles. As he has found the Jumperoo. He can really get it going.

Molli is getting closer and closer to her 4th birthday which is in a couple of weeks. (Yikes) She can't wait to turn 4 years old. She already tries to tell everyone that she is 4 already. It's really cute. Molli also is trying to get us to take her camping with Papa and Grandma Cindy. Boy trying to convince her that we can't do that everyday is taking it's toll. She is determined to go no matter what the weather is doing. Just yesterday she pulled out the sleeping bags and told me to pack up Aaron and we're to leave and go get Papa and Grandma Cindy. It didn't matter that her daddy has to work this weekend and isn't able to go until later. Good thing for distractions like talking on the cell phone to Mommy's friends or our family. Sorry if she runs up your cell phone bills. Well time got away from me again. Better see if I can catch up to it. Bye for now.

Easter and Camping....

For this Easter, my parents and us decided to try and go camping. The weather was not cooperating so we ended up having our camping trip at Grandma Cindy and Papa's house. My father built a "tent" for Molli to sleep under in the dinning room. She had a ball. We got pictures of the building and playing in the tent. We also got to spend a quiet Easter Sunday celebrating with my parents and playing on their 4 wheelers. Boy, now I want a couple of our own so that I can have a fun time riding and not having to borrow from my parents. Molli really enjoyed the riding part. The faster you could go the better she liked it. I could hear her laughing even through the helmet and full face shield. Aaron was too tired and little to be on them but he had fun just hanging out with those that were left behind while waiting for their turn to come around. I can't believe that Aaron is going to be 6 months old at the end of this month. Time is sure flying faster. He is already wearing 12 month clothes and has just gotten his two bottom front teeth. There are still at least 3 more ready to break through on the top. Poor little guy is miserable. His favorite "Chew toy" is mommy's shoulder and/or her arms. It was fun until he got the teeth! Now it just hurts and I try not to laugh but can't help it when he grins after doing it again and again.

A Day of Fun....

Well I can honestly day that today was a wonderful day. This morning we got to attend my niece Megan's Baptism. She looked so beautiful. She was a wonderful sport when she had to be done twice. Her hand didn't go under the first time around. She also had her oldest brother Jason do the confirmation part. He did a wonderful job. After the Baptism we then went over to Crystal & Adam's house to finish celebrating Megan's 8th birthday and an early birthday for Jason. As he is being deployed in April and won't be here in June. I can't wait until he comes back. Then the worrying can stop. Hopefully!!!!! After the partying was done we then met up with our friends, Shellie, Anna, & Carlie at the park for an hour of fun. Then it was home to rest and make dinner and then off to bed before midnight I hope.

LIfe at it's fullest!!!

As I sit here thinking to myself, I keep wondering where the time is going and how can I get it back. The days seem to be going by so fast that I seem to miss them more and more lately.
Aaron is now 4 months old. He weighs 17 lbs 8 oz and is 27" long. I could not believe it. It seems like only yesterday that I brought him home a newborn. Such is my busy life. He is now fully laughing and smiling at everyone. He is a very happy baby, most of the time. Ben had to take the baby on Sunday as I had him laughing and interrupting the Sunday School class.
Molli is really enjoying being a Sunbeam. She goes around singing the Sunbeam song where ever she goes. Molli is also learning her Phonics and letters so that we can "pretend" to go to school. She still sits in the front window and cries that she wants to go to school when the buses drive by. She is also looking forward to Spring and Summer coming. So that she can play outside and go to swim lessons this summer. Boy will my life get busier.

The Funny Things In Life . . .

As Molli gets closer to her 4th birthday I realize that she is trying to grow up to fast. Like the other day, she wanted to go outside and when I didn't respond fast enough she asked me nicely to "please get outside now!" She will also "help" by taking things out of a hot oven without somehow burning herself. Today's little comment really took me by surprise. I told her that her friends Anna and Carlie were sick and that she couldn't go and play with them today. A couple of minutes later she told me that "Anna is better now so I can go and play." I found out that Anna and Carlie both had Ear Infections again and were not able to play. This did not deter her at all. We finally had to distract her by going out to dinner. I am glad to say that she'll get to go play with her friends soon.
Aaron is growing by leaps and bounds. He is now in 6-9 month clothes. He also is now starting to laugh an actual laugh. He is very ticklish on his feet and neck. He loves to watch Fantasia 2000. When he gets to watch anything besides sisters movies. Molli is in love with being the big sister. She also tries to make Aaron do what he is not able to do yet, like sit on his own or play tea party with her. He does however love to grin at her, Mommy and Daddy. He can melt your heart with one of his smiles. Hopefully soon he'll smile at Grandma Cindy, he's already smiled at Papa.

Oh What Fun ...

Oh what fun we're having. Aaron is doing better but has to stay away from church until the end of the RSV Season. Which makes taking Molli harder. We'll just have to compromise and take her with a lot of Purell Hand Sanitizer with one of us at a time. :-P
This week we had some friends come over to our house and sled down the hill in the back yard. They all had a wonderful time. The snow is finally stopped for now and I can't wait for Spring and Summer to come around again.

An Update . . .

I am proud to announce that Aaron was able to come home from the hospital. He is doing much better. He still has a cough but the happy little guy is now smiling and playing like his old self more and more each day. I have found that he's quite the ladies man. He had all the nurses and the medical students stopping by and seeing if he was OK. We are really glad that it only took 4 nights in the hospital to get better. The only bad thing is that now we are all stuck at home for a little while. Molli is also getting better. She got to spend time with Grandma Cindy and Papa. Riding the 4-wheeler and getting to stay at Julie and Roy's new house up in the Mountains. We also would like to thank all of you for the prayers and support you all gave to us at this time.
