Updates

Kellan-
Kellan's Birthday was awesome! His family came up the Saturday before and we went to a new place called Smokin' Blues for lunch and then to Caspar's for ice cream. Mmmmmmm. He turned 28! Which we decided sounds much closer to 30 than 27. The girls love B-days and had fun telling him Happy birthday every 5 min.


Truman-
Truman is very ticklish, and loves to smile and laugh especially at his sisters. Lately he has discovered his tongue and is constantly sticking it out. Also he has figured out how to roll from his stomach to back and is figuring out sitting up. Oh, and he hates eating from a spoon, he'd rather eat a bagillion bottles all day long. We're working on it though. At his 4 month appointment March 3 he weighed 15 lbs and was 24 in. long!



Libby-
Libby is finally starting to say a few words. She's especially good at body parts, no, baby, and mine. Although she doesn't say much, she manages to be the loudest of her siblings. She loves giving and getting kisses and is very much attached to a particular pile of stuffed animals and blankets. Also, she loves markers lately. They're good for drawing and eating. Also she can find and destroy pretty much anything that is off-limits, and has become an expert at taking off her diaper.


Sara-
Sara is the first to wake up every morning. She crawls into our bed every morning and says, "I hungy mommy." She LOVES playing with Anne, reading stories, and singing. She also loves to help Mom cooking. We're chef-girls together. She and Anne love, love, love art projects. I think go through about a ream of paper per day. Crayons, water-colors, markers, you name it they love making pictures. Also, she loves walks and riding her trike. She's been asking me everyday for 5 months if we can go for a walk or ride bikes. Hooray it's finally warm enough!

One of Sara's MANY drawings. She's getting really good at people and what she thinks is writing.


Anne-
Oh my Anne-girl! We went to Kindergarten registration last week! WHAT!?! I know. Crazy. I'm so excited for her, but so sad at the same time. I feel like its the beginning of the end. She is so ready though. She talks everyone's ear off where ever she goes and loves making Truman and all of us laugh. She's quite the little joke teller, especially knock-knock jokes.


Anne's art. She's pretty much amazing. She can also write all of our names.

Truman's Blessing

We finally blessed Truman on Valentimes Day. It was so much fun to have everyone over. We feel so blessed that our kids have such amazing grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins!

Attempts at a quick family pic before Church which was at 9. It was a miracle we made it on time.

With Gramma Evel. Somehow we didn't get one with my Dad in.

With Great-Grandpa Gary and Great-Grandma Hazel(Back) and Papa Kirk and Gramma Mai

Our good friend Bekah. We love it when she comes!

Valentimes from Gramma Mai! She made the head band things, you can see Libby's really well. Soooo Cute!


Sugar Cookies that Aunt Jaecee made for dessert. The best sugar cookies in the Universe!

Somehow we all squished in. It was definately cozy!


The Birds. My mom's idea. Apparently getting a good family pic only getts harder the older your kids get.
