Just an update

Well, we are all doing fine up here in Corvallis. Tony is making friends and starting preschool in the Fall. Zachary is sleeping in his big boy bed and doing awesome on his potty training. Haylee is a little sweetheart, sleeping around 7hrs at a time at night. She wakes up to eat and then she goes back to sleep. For some odd reason I can't seem to fall asleep before midnight. I don't know what everyone wants to know, but we are all doing well.

Happy Aniversary

Today is our 5th anniversary. It has been a bumpy road along the way, but it has been worth it. In 5 years we have given birth to three beautiful children, lost one and loved many others. We have moved 10 times, don't ask me why but we have made lots of friends along the way. I love this man even more than when we got married and feel that we are still "going strong." Adam is a great husband and father, and now a hard-working student. I love my life and I love you Adam!

Haylee

I will have pics later, but Haylee is now 10pounds 8 ounces and is 23 inches long. That means, in 3 weeks, she gained 2lbs 8 ozs! Even the nurse said that was pretty amazing. She has grown 2 inches in 6 weeks. Other than that, she is fine and healthy!

Update

Haylee is growing so big and strong. Soon we will have updates on weights and height, but for now just seeing her legs filling out from the skin a bones they were at 2 weeks does my heart good. She holds her head up like a pro and barfs on mommy like she enjoys doing it. Her brothers love her to pieces and are getting used to her crying fits. Yes, my daughter has a temper already. UH OH! We are doing our best to work around it, but what can you say to a 6 week old baby. Quit it or I will take away your uh.....? Anyway, you get the picture. Enough of my ranting about Haylee.

Tony, whom I am also proud of is finally making friends. I know that doesn't sound like much of a feat, but he has never really had a friend outside of church. i.e. someone he plays with more than once a week. Gabe, our next door neighbor and he play almost daily outside on their bikes in our quiet culdesac. YAY TONY!



So, I was afraid that he would quit on me with the whole potty training thing, but... He has now graduated to going number 2 on the potty and I couldn't be more proud. This is a huge step for Zachy and much harder on him than it was for Tony it seems. However, I will be so glad to only have one diaper to change. He goes potty at least once a day, sometimes twice, and today he went three times and made 2 #2's!!! Things are going smoother than expected. It's always nice when the happens.

Yay Zachary



After many months of just trying to get him used to the idea of a toilet, Zachary is finally going potty. Over the last few days we have gotten him to go "pee in the water" as he says it around once a day, but today it was twice. He has come a long way considering he used to scream when I simply asked him if he wanted to sit on the potty, let along actually put him on it. So, here is my shout out for my wonderful little 2 yr old.

Miss Haylee

Haylee is doing good and finally gaining some weight. She definitely knows how to voice her opinion now and does so quite frequently! We all love her to pieces and the boys still love having a little sister, even if Zachary does tell her "baby, be quiet!"
