My boy has a rough life, and it shows when he sleeps. He seems to be a little more comfortable than his sisters picture in the last post. As a rule he is to be a little more laid back to his approach to life. I think this photo shows that well.
Below is another common sleep position for the little man. It doesn’t look as comfortable to me, but he seems to like it.
The other night before Julie and I went to bed we usually peak to check on the kids. Cody was curled in a ball with his blanket which is fairly common. The picture below shows what we saw when we looked over at Jolsyn.
You can also see on this picture that Joslyn likes to chew on the rail of her crib.
We had to get our picture taken at church yesterday for the new photo book that is coming out for our church’s 125th anniversary. Since we were all dressed up, we had a friend snap a new family photo for ourselves.
Well the time has come to get an official hair cut. And somewhere in the process, I lost my little baby. My 1 year old left the house and came back as a 2 year old. I don’t know how that happens, and I have always been told that time flies, but this is faster than I expected. First I will post a picture from Tulip Time, and then a couple of the hair cut.
Please if you see my 1 year old, I would be very excited to get him back. I miss him terribly.
Last weekend was the official Tulip Festival here is Orange City. Like any good local mom, Julie bundled the kids up and took them down town for the festivities. The kids really liked the drum sections of the bands. They tried a the rides but weren’t so into those yet. Maybe in a couple years.
On Saturday Julie joined up with some friends who also wanted to take in the one weekend a year were we do actually have traffic jams in our small town.
The kids did enjoy the pretty tulip beds that were in perfect bloom this year for the festival.
And I must report Cody has made it on the Orange City’s Most wanted list. He decided that he wanted to give his mom a tulip to take home. As the thoughtfulness was great, there is a well known ordinance here in Orange City about picking tulips. It is a BIG NO NO. Up to a $100 fine is caught picking one in the down town area. Well fortunately the letter of the law was given a little grace and no one had break the piggy bank.
He was very excited when we told him he wouldn’t be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
Today is the kids birthday, and due to wet weather I had the opportunity to stay at home this morning with them. They are now taking a nap which allows me to share with all of you some birthday pictures. I will let the pictures speak for themselves, enjoy.
Here is a must post event that got captured on camera recently. Cody will randomly decide to cheese it up.
Here is a fairly recent picture of the kids. Joslyn is showing her balancing skills and Cody is just being goofy.
I have been getting some slack for not updating this blog in a while, so here is a quick update. Jolslyn is walking and Cody is scaling furniture pretty good. Here are a couple pictures still from our winter trip. A couple in the airport and then the kids in the pool. I will try to get some more up to date pictures up soon. Enjoy!
There was a nice grassy area that we made home for the morning and early afternoon. Below are some pictures of fun on the grass and on the swings.
On the swings, each of the kids got to swing with mom and then we figured out that we both fit on the swing at the same time.
And finally we had to take a picture with Cousin Able, Uncle Rob and Aunt Leah.
