Baseball with Coach Brad!

Each Friday, Coach Brad comes to Zander's school and works with them on soccer and baseball.  Zander LOVES baseball days and talks about it all the time!

Finley is 9 Months Old!!!

Finley seems to be on the road to recovery after a rough winter!  As we are getting ready to move in with Grandma and Grandpa its hard to believe our little guy is 9 months old! 

 

 

Finley is 30 inches long (95%), weighs 25 lbs 9 ozs (100%), and his head is 18.5 inches (91%).  Zander has been showing him how to crawl but no luck yet!  Watching my boys play is definitely the highlight of my day...LOVE IT!!

Finley is 6 Months...Where does the time go?

It's hard to believe 6 months has passed!  Everyday brings us something new and watching Zander and Finley make each other laugh is the highlight everyday!  First of all, Finley's stats...He is 27.5" tall, in the 79% and 22 lbs, in the 99%.  Finley's head is 17.91", in the 93%.  I am amazed everyday that Fin can make Zander look small!  They are wearing the same clothes this holiday so Finley is about 4 months ahead. 

Finley's belly laugh keeps us all smiling.  He loves his food and we continue to work at convincing him to drink his bottle.  His favorite places are on Daddy's lap in the recliner or in the excersaucer.  He talks non-stop and we can't wait until he starts picking up words.  Zander greets him in his crib every morning!  Grandma has been watching him on Thursday and Friday so Zander walks around on Friday morning saying "Baby?  Baby?" 

We are looking forward to a great Christmas and can't wait to spend extra time with the boys!  Here are some pictures they had taken at daycare...LOVE THEM!

Enjoying the Leaves!

I finally got a picture with all three of my guys where one of them wasn't screaming!  Love it...Happy Fall!

Kisses!

Go Tigers!

It's not looking good for the Tigers but we have enjoyed cheering them on and having our baseball watching season extended since the Rockies were hopeless!  Here are some  pictures of the boys!

Zander's home sick :(

Loves to hold his brother...in the morning before
we went to the Dr.

Sound asleep at 9am...

I have been very lucky to be able to take Friday's off since the beginning of the school year, my dad has been subbing for me and the kids love him.  He was in Michigan for one of the Friday's and the kids were very worried, even though I had told them he wouldn't be there.  They were excited to have him back the next Friday!  This was my last Friday off and I was looking forward to getting lots done!  Well, my day sure did not go as expected!  Zander was up coughing the night before and complaining because his ear hurt.  He has had lots of ear infections and I was sure this was another...I took him to the doctor first thing in the morning and no ear infection but he did have croup.  They gave him steroids for his cough and my poor little guy fell asleep on the way home...he was warn out!  Well, needless to say, he stayed home with Fin and I and let me tell you, he didn't look sick for long!  It took him no time to empty the pillows off the couch and build a pillow pit!  I got nothing done but had a great day with my boys!  Dad had been out of town since Wednesday and came home to a messy house with no groceries on Friday!

After nap...while mom was cleaning Zander's room!

Family Pictures

I think the only regret I have from my wedding is that we never got a picture with everyone on my side of the family.  The kids were always in different places and then Bryan was excited to get to the reception.  We made up for it this weekend...and it was even better because Zander and Finley were part of the family picture.  They turned out great!
