Marcus is 4 Months Old!

Image
Marcus went to the doctor for his 4 month check up and all is well. He weighed 16 pounds 12 ounces and was 25 1/4 inches long. He is still around the 75-85% mark for his height and weight.

We were able to go to Uncle Bill's house for Memorial Day and see the Krueger side of the family. We saw the Quints and they were all very cute. It was hot out, so we didn't stay long, but we did get to eat some of the fish!

Image
We went over to Brian and Katherine's house this past Friday night. It was great to see Ava and Lola; they are always fun! Brent, Sheri and Beck were also able to come. We had a great night ESPECIALLY when Kiki and Pops showed up for a surprise! It was a lot of fun and I'm glad we got to see our family.

Gilmer in May


We went to Gilmer this weekend. Jeff was able to play golf with his Dad and we all had a relaxing weekend. Here are some pictures from the trip. Our little man is growing up so fast!

Marcus & Beck

Last weekend we got to watch Beck when Brent and Sheri went out for their anniversary. We love watching Beck because he is so fun and good for us! Beck and Marcus go to the same daycare, so Beck recognizes him now and was very helpful in taking care of him. Beck put Marcus's pacifier back in for him and would also tell me "oh no, Marcus crying!" It was very cute!Image
Image
Beck was a great helper! I might have to borrow him more often!

Wales and Bishops

I finally got to meet baby Chase!!!

On Friday I finally got to meet baby Chase. He has been home for almost a week, but I have been feeling sick from allergies and I didn't want to give him anything. I was finally feeling better so Erin and I met up at her Mom's house. Chase is such a cutie! He has red hair, which makes since because all the nurses at the hospital told Erin that he is fiesty! :)

Chase is 6 weeks younger than Marcus and they are going to be GREAT friends. Here are some pictures that we got from that day. I look forward to many more days with baby Chase!

Oh what a difference a year can make........

Image
Image
Image
Image
ImageJeff and I went out for our 1st anniversary date tonight (thank you Brent and Sheri!) and we talked about all the changes we have had in the past year. The pictures above represent some of these changes.

I feel so blessed that I found a man who loves me and takes care of me. He is all I could ever ask for in a husband. I also feel so lucky to have Marcus bless our lives daily.

I am so thankful for this past year and all I have learned. I look forward to all the years ahead of us and all we will learn in the future. I know we can handle anything as long as Jeff and I stick together and keep our Heavenly Father in our lives.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY JRB! I LOVE YOU!

April is here!



This has been a very exciting month for our little family. First, Marcus had his first Easter. We went out to Gilmer to be with the Bishops and had an excellent weekend, minus that Kiki and Beck got sick. Marcus enjoyed looking for Eggs while in his baby carrier. Jill didn't move too fast with Marcus on, but she was still able to find a "Golden Egg." Jeff also found a "Golden Egg" in the hunt.

This past weekend, Grandma and Grandpa Dicks as well as Uncle Michael and Aunt Emily were able to come out to Texas for Marcus's blessing at church. It was great to see my family and have them spend time with Marcus. Marcus was blessed at church by Jeff and it was so great to have so many people who love him there. We missed Stephen, Natalie and Adam, but hopefully Marcus will get to meet them this summer.

Dad's first time seeing Marcus in person!

A lady whose husband works for Dad made these outfits for Marcus. I put him in all of them so Mom could take pictures back to Florida. This first one has a bee on the hat.

He wasn't so sure about this one.

He liked the blue one the best!

Finally, I go back to work next Tuesday and am working two half days and one whole day. Marcus is going to go to daycare with his cousin Beck until the fall and we are very excited that Marcus will get to know his cousin better. I am going to miss spending everyday with my little man, but know he will be in good hands and will make my time with him even more special.
