Happy Easter

Isn't he the most adorable little boy ever! I love that preciouse face!

I had so much fun taking these pictures of Brandon!

Holiday's are so much better with children, even if he can't dye the eggs just yet. Brandon had so much fun trying to grab all of the eggs and put them in his mouth. I can hardly believe he is 6 months old now.

I love little hands and toes!

Brandon has such beautiful great big eyes, they make me laugh!

What happend to my sleep?

I remember a time when Brandon would sleep. He is quickly approaching his 6 month birthday and his sleep habit are changing for the worse. He use to only wake up 1 time in the night and sometimes he would even sleep through the night (7 hours and more) it was wonderful! Now I am lucky to get 3 solid hours of sleep before he is up. I don't know what is causing it, could it be from his teething, or could it be that he is simply too active and is practicing his technique at sitting up, and rolling over, or is he really needing that much more food? I used to swaddle him, but it was getting ridiculous how tight I had to wrap him, so I stopped, maybe I should go back to swaddling? If you have any tips, or advise for me I would be grateful.

Spider Baby

No doubt Jared got this idea from the Simpsons movie, but Brandon really did enjoy it. He loves to be upside down!!! Even Maggie got in on the action, however she does not enjoy being upside down nearly as much as Brandon does.

Tale of Two Cities

I just finished reading A Tale of Two Cities, and I loved it! It made me so grateful to have the freedoms that I have! I recommend the book to everyone, with a warning that the first 1/3 of the book is really difficult to get through, but the last 2/3 make it all worth it!!

Ski Magazine Dream Home

One of the attorneys Jared works with (Paul) was one of the people who built and designed this amazing home. Paul was kind enough to take us on a tour it was incredible!! Some of the incredible features include grand theater, 15 fireplaces, full swing golf simulator, pool, day spa, exercise room, library, car wash, wine cellar, and secret room with candle stick secret entry. It was so fun to visit and see what people can do with $19 million. You should visit the site at resortswest.com and look at all of the pictures. WOW!

Brandon's Safari Bedroom

My sister is so talented! She painted all of these pictures for me for Brandon's bedroom. I love to admire them while I am sitting in my rocking chair while I feed Brandon. Thank you Natalie for sharing your talent with me!

let it snow! let it snow! let it snow!

One of our neighbors created this ice sculpture it is amazing, I have never seen anything like it!

Little Miss Maggie surprised me today by climbing up our ugly compost heap to see the world outside our back yard. thank heavens she did not get ambitious and try to jump down the other side. YIKES!

The snow is higher then Brandon is tall. Brandon is 25 inches last time we measured him. What a winter!

I am amazed at how much snow we have received. Our house is buried! I do love it
