The Park

Friday was finally a nice day in a long time. We had the opportunity to get outside with friends and enjoy Bowen Park.

Bye Bye Daddy!

Every morning there is a tradition that we wave bye to Dad when he goes to work...I just think it is so sweet!

27 weeks!

Believe it or not, Brooklyn is 27 weeks and I am still vertical! No bed rest yet! I am dealing with the results of pregnancy...shortness of breath, hugeness, waddling, ...did I mention hugeness...Anyway, you know its good when you start counting baskwards...I only have 13 more weeks!

Happy Easter!

This Easter we made the drive out to Rockford and had a great time! The little boy in the picture is Isaiah. He's about two months older than Jayden. They had an easter hunt with ball decorated eggs. How much fun!

Handy Jay dee!

Jayden is really into Bob the Builder and Handy Manny...here is Jayden helping Uncle Chad and Daddy hang shelfs in the laundry room! Thanks Uncle Chad for your help (and patience with Jayden!)

Cousins!

Aunt Sarah was so kind to take Jayden this week when we didn't have a sitter, so we gladly returned the favor and had Cole and Elle over Friday night! They were so much fun! Thanks Aunt Sarah!

The great outdoors

At the hint of warmer weather, Jayden begins to itch to go outside! He is an outdoors man thru and thru! And really, the weather doesn't matter! Here are some of his first "spring" pics!

23 Weeks

"Brooklyn" is now 23 weeks! Jut has finally broken down and Brooklyn it is! We are still working on a middle name....

Timber Ridge

This weekend we had a great time celebrating Jut's grandparents, Bud and Bea Bakken's, 60th wedding anniversary! I can only hope to be as happily married, celebrating our 60th with all my kids, their kids, and my great grandchildren! We really admire their marriage and look up to them very much! All 25 of us went to Timber Ridge water park in Lake Geneva and really loved being there. Jayden enjoyed the water and all the basketball!

It's a....

...GIRL!!! Everything looks great right now. She is breech at the moment but still plenty of room to move around so Dr.s are not concerned about that yet! We are so happy!
