I am Thankful

I am so thankful for so many things and I love Thanksgiving so I can reflect and think about all the things I am thankful for. This was such a wonderful weekend spent with so much family and I am grateful for the family that I have and the time we can spend together. We had Weston's blessing this weekend so all but one of Steve's sisters were able to come and we so appreciate them making the long drives and coming to this special event. It was so great to see everyone and for Gage to spend some time with his cousins. We had Thanksgiving dinner at Pootsie's house (thanks it was DELICIOUS) and had some more fun with my mom's family! I was able to shop for about 3 hrs. on Friday and watched the Griz squeak out a victory on Saturday. Today was Weston's special blessing day and he looked like a little angel sent from heaven. It has been such a great weekend I hate to see it end!!! I guess now I have Christmas to look forward to right? I am so thankful to all my family and count my blessing everyday as to how fortunate I am!

1 month old

Weston is officially one month old and is growing so much. I had to take him in for his one month check up and he is growing like a weed. He weighed just under 11 lbs. (75th percentile) 22 1/2 inches (85th percentile), and has a little bitty head (20th percentile). He is such a good baby for the most part except when he has gas!! Gage and Macy were practicing on him before he went to the doctor. They were checking out his heartbeat, blood pressure, and giving him shots. What great brother and sister!! They love their brother so much and are definitely used to having him around full time. They are great helpers and Weston loves to watch them and see what they're up to. The next time we go we have to get shots...yuck!

Birthday Boy

We successfully celebrated Gage's 4th birthday and had a wonderful day. Gage was very appreciative to his mommy and daddy that he got to have a birthday. Before bed that night he came running at me with open arms and said " mommy, thanks for giving me a birthday. I love everything!" He is such a sweet boy and we love him so much. He got lots of new tractors, trucks, cars, games, and so much more. THanks everyone for spoiling him so much!!!! We've had a great week and things are still going great with Weston. He is growing everyday and is starting to be much more alert and aware of things. Gage is a great big brother and a very big help to his mommy!!! We love you Gage!

Tricks and Treats

We had a wonderful Halloween with our cute little dinosaur and adorable little flower and the new baby of course. Steve's mom was so wonderful on her visit and helped and played with the kids so much. They decorated sugar cookies one night and got lots of good playtime with Grandma. Thanks for everything DeAnn!!!! Trick or treating was great and Macy wasn't quite sure how it worked, but sure loved all the candy!!! We had a great time and are now getting ready for Gage's birthday. When is it ever going to end?????
