breakfast

Gabriella had her first meal today. Baby cereal and pears. Yummy. :)

Full house

Today Shannon came over with Kelton and Nohea and our niece Kelsey is in town so she came over to hang out too.

Kelsey is great with the kids and played trains with Olsen


Here Olsen is saying "choo choo"

Olsen also went out and played ball with Kelton. Kelton is getting pretty good and hittin the ball off the T. Olsen just likes to wack it off the ground.

Kelsey and Gabriella

Nohea just sittin' back enjoying her apple. I'm only a little jealous of her hair. My girl is still as bald as the day she was born.

Cute Pictures

Gabriella was enjoying Olsen when he was playing peek-a-boo from behind her high chair.

But she didn't like when he tried to climb in (love her face)

And finally pushed him away. You go girl!

Gabriella can now get on all fours. This isn't a picture of it, but it's still cute.

Dinner time

Gabriella now joins us at the dinner table. Olsen now longer want to sit in his high chair to eat, so today I decided to see how Gabriella does in it. She has been so good at sitting up without help I thought she would like to hang out in the high chair instead of the bouncy seat. She loves the high chair. I just put some toys in there and she is happy for quite some time. It looks like I will be able to put her in there when I do dishes and such. This is a good thing.


This is how Olsen eats his taco. There is no wrong way right?


Not two seconds later he starts crying for no reason. Oh wait, I remember now..... a piece of meat fell out of the taco. Ah, to be two..........

Sunday Evening

After dinner Olsen wanted to ride his bike on the driveway. Byron and I took turn chasing him around with Gabriella in the stroller


I love this picture of Olsen. His hair is starting to grow out again and be kind of wild.


And this one isn't bad of Gabriella

Gabriella wearing her new outfit the other day.


Wearing her red shooz for the very last time. They were way too small, but I couldn't resist because of the red dress.

About a boy

Olsen is in a fun, yet difficult stage of life. We have been watching a lot of Baby Einstein DVD's latey (by his request) and he is learning new words everytime he watches them. It is so wonderful to see his mind work and grow. He repeats everything he hears, which can be good and bad. But he can also throw a tantrum at a drop of a hat.

He is my boy, he makes me happy and I love him :)

We are potty training again so he just hangs out in a t-shirt and underwear most days. He has also decided that my laundry hamper is his new car track course. Today it was a over flowing (so I need to do laundry) and Olsen just took clothes out to close the lid. He's a clever boy, he knows what he want and how to get it. :)

About a girl, Part II

Had another photo shot on my bed today. I can't get over how cute these shoes are.

Just the shoes

Close up of cute Gabriella

Here is a before shot

And here is after I played around with it. I thought they both turned out cute.

Mama and baby

Helpful hands

Olsen decided that he HAD to help me make dinner yesterday. I was by the sink and when I turned around he had brought the stool in from the bathroom and started to stir the potatoes. What a helpful kid.


Today I wanted to see what Gabriella would do with a sippy cup of water. She took to it like a fish to water (get it??). She loved her new cup and was able to hold it herself. I was pretty impressed myself to how well she did.

Cute shoes and children

Here are the cute shoes that Lore made. She is talented beyond belief. She also made the red shoes that Gabriella wore for Christmas.

Here are a couple of shots of her wearing them, but you can't see the shoes too well, I'll have to take some better ones later.


The kids just playing in the backyard.


Olsen proudly wearing his PA Harris Electic shirt.

Speaking of shoes, Aunt Rachel got these cute Cars "buttons" for Olsens crocs. He loves them.
