Six Months

Graham and Pierce are six months old!  How is that possible?

Reading to her brothers

What a difference a year makes

Always happy!

I think he should have been buckled in...



Sometimes pictures go like this

So we try again






We go on walks almost every night, so this is our view a lot.

My big guys are sitting up!

Best daddy around


Pierce thinks sitting up is funny


Monroe took this sweet picture.  They're holding hands.

This is Alicia, our boys' amazing nanny!  We LOVE her!

Lots of stroller pictures this month because the weather has been so nice.

They can now hold their own bottles

Our boys have grown so much this last month!  The biggest developments are that they are sleeping and sitting.  Seeing them sit up makes them seem so much older!  And, the sleeping is absolutely awesome!  They LOVE to bounce in their jumpers.  So much, in fact, that I got a second, used one.  If they're laying on the floor, they like to be together.  They keep each other entertained longer.  They still love their sister more than most anything.  Even when I think she's tickling or cuddling a little too rough, they're giggling away :)  She loves to play with them!  We made it to six months without starting food, which was my goal.  I am excited to start on solids this week.  We are going to do Baby Led Weaning instead of pureeing all of their food.  I am still keeping up with their milk intake, but I am starting to think that we won't make it the full year. At their doctor's appointment on Monday, he was pleased with their weight and development.  They are in the 76%ile for weight and 75%ile for height.
Being the mom of these two boys is such a joy!

The Price Is Right

The Price Is Right has a live show that travels the country.  When we found out that it was coming to Grand Island, my friends and I decided we had to get tickets.  Mamas' night out was this last Wednesday.  We went out to supper, and then out to the Event Center.

We registered to possibly be on the show and then we went to take pictures.


Two of our nine were missing


I had to include this one for Danielle :)



I had to send this to Zach and Monroe.


The host was Mark Wahlberg, who was very entertaining.  They called up a large number of contestants.  There were four new people for each game, and they gave away quick prizes all night.  We had a great time!  It was fun to be apart of what I have watched on TV since I was a kid.  I'm so glad we went!

October Phone Dump

Teaching her students

Proud of our girl!


We went to Hastings for the Hastings College parade.  We sat with Patrick and Emily and Zach's parents.





At the park with Alicia

I think she looks way too old in this picture.


The heating element broke on our dryer.  Without having any idea how to fix it, Zach fixed it anyway.  I am so thankful that he's willing to tackle things like this.

Our niece, Finley, was baptized on Sunday.  We went to Lincoln to be a part of her special day.
