The Third Month...

Better to be late than never. Now that Pete is half way to four months, I'm posting his pics from his third month. Which is really him from 2 months old until 3 months old. I think I just confused myself.

10 weeks

11 weeks

13 weeks/ 3 months and 1 day

(I guess I skipped 12 weeks)

I think I'll just do monthly shots now. He sure is getting cuter and cuter everyday. He's getting more vocal as well. He is the best baby ever.

Dreaming of a white Easter

Ron's sister and brother in law came for a visit. Tori and Ronnie were so excited to see their cousins Ally and McKenzie. They arrived Easter afternoon, made quite the trek in the middle of a snow storm. We got to take them to Garden of the Gods, and they got to play in some Easter snow. The kids had so much fun. So did Ron and I. We always welcome visitors!

Better late than never...

It has been a couple weeks since my last post. I've been meaning to come on here and share some pictures from our hike at Bear Creek that we took on my birthday. Ron and I also went out on a date...alone...without kids. Yep, we got a babysitter. It was so fun. We just went out and ate...and worried about the kids the entire time. Here are the pictures of us before our date and our hike.

He's got High Hopes

Tori, Ronnie and Ron were on a walk the other day and Tori and Ron were talking about how Tori can persue her dreams of being a veterinarian. He was telling her that she can start out being a vetrinarian's assistant first while she goes to college etc.etc. Tori, turned to Ronnie and said, "Ronnie, if you could choose one thing to be when you grow up, what would it be? Just one thing."

HISTORY:In the past Ronnie has not been able to descide what he wants to be when he grows up. That seems to be normal for children. At one time he wanted to pursue a career as shoe shiner, a double decker bus driver, a McDonalds worker and a "police cobb" (that's what he used to call police men). As of rescent he has wanted to persue a career as a scientist, an artist (making comic books), and an actor. Well, here was his reply to Tori's question a few days ago...

"I want to be a clown when I grow up. I just want to know what it's like to wear make up and get pies thrown in my face."

I wonder if dressing him up as a clown (make up and all) and throwing some pies in his face NOW will satisfy this longing to become a clown when he grows up...

You know you have lost your mind when...

you frantically look around for your two year old, only to be reminded by your two older children that the two year old is in your arms.

Yes, I think I'm losing my mind. Today I took the kids to the local craft shop to get some supplies for a Science fair project that Tori is doing at school. Well, Franklin a.k.a. Mr. Independant hates sitting in the shopping cart. So he walks along side the older two kids. For some odd reason while we were in line waiting to get rung up, Frank wanted me to hold him. So,I picked him up. He usually hates being held out in public. About two minutes went by and I looked around and noticed a child was missing and I said, "Where's Frank?" And Tori replied, "He's in your arms!!" We all had a good laugh of it though. Tori comforted me by telling me she has done that with her "shirt blanket" before. She looked on the couch for her blankey only to find she was holding it. So cute. Anyways, needless to say for too many reasons to list right now, my mind is fried and I can't wait for this semester to be over!
