2 months

She is now over 2 months old. I can't believe how time flies. She now weighs 10 lbs, which feels so big to me. She is still well loved by her brothers, and I'm happy to report that she cries much less. She is actually a very happy baby. She has the cutest smile and readily gives it out.

We have been very busy. Tyler and Corbin are both doing baseball and you can find us on the baseball field about 4 days out of the week. I am so happy that the weather has finally started to turn nice. It makes the ball games much more enjoyable to watch. They have both improved a lot, and I look forward to many more years of ball games. This is a sport that has been very good for the boys.

Corbin is almost out of school. I'm still trying to figure out what i'm going to do with them during the summer. Any suggestions would be appreciated...especially from Holly.

Trip to Dads

Here are some water falls that my dad has made.

                                

 The boys loved throwing rocks into the water.

Rylan did a great job repelling.

New Table

Our dining room has the worst layout ever. I didn't think it was possible to fit a real table into it, but Mike found this table and it fits perfectly. It will be nice to all sit at the table again.

Baby's birth story...Madilyn was induced because I hate being pregnant at the end.  I went to the hospital at 7am. I was dialated to 4cm at that time.  Around 8:00 the doctor came in and broke my water and they started the pitocin. I was having moderate contractions, so 15 minutes later the nurse upped my dose. I had two contractions and had a STRONG urge to push.  I warned Mike, and pushed on the next contraction. She came out a push later. Because they didn't have much warning, nothing was set up, and my doctor didn't make it. The resident doctor had just walked into the room, and was able to hold her head using the unwrapped glove packaging. Luckily everything was ok. We did have to stay an extra 10 hours in the hospital because she had lost 1 lb.

                                                                             

Greenbelt Bike ride

Mike and Corbin went for a bike ride on the greenbelt the other day. They started from our house and rode down Glenwood to the river. They  had a good time until Mike got a flat tire.  Here are some of the pictures that Mike took while waiting to be picked up. (Note: Notice the shoes that Corbin is wearing, he had them for less than a week, and got a hole in the toe. Needless to say, we quickly took them back.)
