First things first...Liam is 6 months old now!!
He is really great at sitting up! and Spitting up! yeah! At his last doctors visit he was nearly 18lbs and he was 27 inches long. Extremely healthy big kid! It's just a matter of time before a tooth pokes out and he is crawling away from me...of course in the opposite direction of wherever Nick and Eric are running off too.
It's been a little crazy lately...actually this whole year so far has been really crazy. But I'm finally going to let you know what's been happening!
So Ryan and I have been searchig and searching for apartments. We always THINK we have one, then there has either been a problem with the apartment (not up to code, location, etc) or with us (bad credit, too many small children, too new of a job, etc.) We pretty much gave up hope on a 3 bedroom because we just can't swing 800 bucks a month on it. So for now we are going to squeeze into a 2 bedroom until we can find anything better.
Ryan's job at Stanley Steemer is in Sandy, so we've been wanting something a bit closer to there. We happened to find a place about 5 minutes from his work and so we're pretty excited about that. We move in date is June 1st, but we can take stuff in shifts, so hopefully the whole moving process won't be too difficult. After all...my whole kitchen has been packed for 2 years or so!
Other recent happenings are that my brother in law, Thayne, graduated. The best part of that day was that afterwards we went to Olive Garden...delicious. Ryan of course missed all this because of work, however the next day Thayne had a party and we went to that. Nick and Eric are amazing now at going to sleep, so amazing that we just layed them down in Thayne and Sara's room and they went to sleep. We have 3 kids under 2 and we ALL sleep through the night...yay!
Mother's Day was fantastic! As you saw I did get a super awesome red mixer (the expensive one I might add...well they are both kinda pricey...but it was the more expensive one) and Ryan also brought me some beautiful roses. We put the kids' hands and feet in plaster and they turned out pretty cute! Monday, Ryan got off work early so we took the kids outside and tried for some pictures, and we actually got some. This month we're planning on taking them to JcPenney and getting some professional ones, and those will probably be better. So first are pics of Nick, then Eric, then everybody. Oh yeah...remember how Eric takes his clothes off? Yeah he totally removed his shorts in the middle of all this. You'll see.
Ryan wants to chop off Eric's hair really short...thoughts? It makes me want to cry...and yes...I KNOW he has crazy hair all in his face and stuff. I also don't know what to do with Nick's, I really couldn't part with those curls you know? However, if I just chop off his bangs we'll have a blonde, curly, mini Billy Ray Cyrus on our hands. Opinions please!
Eric's Cut:
Eric's "Afters:"
Crazy! Really adorable though. I just had them trim Nick's...couldn't chop off those pretty curls. He can cut them off when I have a curly haired girl...maybe. Eric just looks so much like a little boy now, they are growing and growing! aaaa!
