All geared up to go out to eat with Mommy
and Daddy on their anniversary. Boy does he attract
attention in this outfit, such a sweetheart!





Just snoozing in his crib. Oliver loves his quilt that
grandma made!






Grandma had her arms full with these two!










Aubriel is still trying to catch up. It might be a while
before she does though. Oliver was grabbing her hand
but of course I wasn't quick enough to catch it on camera.
Mommy needs to get quicker!

Boy has it already been a week since I've posted anything? I think about posting stuff all the time but it is just getting the time to actually sit down and do it... that's another story. I don't know what I did with all my time before having a baby!! Last week we had another busy week. Robert and I celebrated our 4 year anniversary on 5/21/09. We actually went out on a date together, although I guess you can't really count it as a date when you bring baby with. It was our first time out to eat together with just the 3 of us. Oliver does so good, he is kind of a little flirt, all you have to do is start talking to him and he gets a big grin on his face. He is tooo cute! I have been trying and trying to get good pics of his big smile but as soon as I snap the pic he goes back to no smile. I'll keep trying.

This weekend was a nice long weekend. We went to the farm in Goodhue on Sat and Sun. I think we were outside all day both days because it was so beautiful out. Perfect for lots of stroller rides around the farm. Oliver loves being outside and hanging out with his many cousins!! Robert was helping Benny on his house. Ben and Britt are adding on a garage, laundry room and a few other rooms. So as Robert was working, Oliver and I were busy playing with the girls, Leetta and Aubriel and Gandma. Zach's boys were down helping build too. The twins were there too and it is pretty funny when they are around because you never know what is going to come out of their mouths. I think it was Kelby who saw Britt, mom and I hanging out with Oliver, Aubriel, and Leetta and he was like, why is Oliver hanging out with all the girls all the time?? I think he felt bad for him or something, too funny. Anyways, I got some more pics of Oliver this weekend w/ Aubriel...

I just took these pics today. The one below was before

I took him to daycare and the one above is after I picked him up.

Must of gotten worn out today at daycare! Don't you just love the arm rolls!!

Grandpa was trying to hold Oliver and entertain
Leetta and Aubriel all at the same time on Mother's day. Good job Grandpa!

Bath time!

Oh where does the time go... I am still trying to get the hang of the blogger stuff. I will get there, it just may take me some time. So Oliver had his 4 month check up on Friday 5/15/09 and yes he is now off the charts for height and weight. He weighs 21 pounds and is 27 inches long!!! I know babies grow fast, but I never thought he would grow this fast!! Must be all the organic breast milk!! He also got 4 shots that day and he didn't even cry, he had a few tears and wimpered a little, I kept waiting for the scream. What a tough little guy!! He is still quite the snuggler, every time I pick him up and pull him in he just snuggles right into my chest. Every body is always commenting on it and telling us how lucky we are to have a snuggler. I love it!!

Oliver always has to have a hand in his mouth!

This is Oliver's friend and cousin, Aubriel. She was born 3 weeks after him. They love talking and playing together! As you can see he's got a little size on her but she is trying to catch up!

Just chillin in his John Deere outfit!

Oliver on his baptism day in March, he is wearing Robert's baptism outfit, so cute!!

Oliver was one day old in this pic! I stilll can't believe all that hair he had!!



So I decided it was time to start a blog now that our family is growing. I have only been thinking about doing for like 6 months. Oh well better late than never I say! Remember I am very new at this so we'll see how it goes. Hopefully all is well with everyone.







Ok where to start?? Well we are doing great here in Montgomery. Life is busy as usual, this last week was especially busy. We had something going on every night last week. This weekend was just as eventful, I ran a half marathon on Saturday in New Prague, that night we had a 30th b-day party to go to and then there was Mother's day. We went to Mom and Dad's for brunch, Robert cooked his famous french toast, Britt made monkey bread and I brought the fruit. I think I was more excited for this day than my birthday this year. I love getting together with family, it always seems like something is going on, so all the more reason for us to get together!!







If you haven't heard me say it before, I love being a mother!! I have to post this poem about being a mother, I just love it!! I will try to do that sometime. ..







Oliver is now almost 4 months old! I still can't believe how he has grown, and how time has cruised along!! I absolutely love spending every minute I can with him! He is going to be one very busy little boy we can tell already. He is busy learning to use his voice, maybe a little too much!! He likes to squak and holler a lot, Robert encourages it which is really funny to listen to those 2 go back and forth!! He hasn't rolled over yet but this last week he started this wimpering, thing. I think it is the cutest thing ever but Robert thinks he sounds like a girl when he does it so he doesn't encourage that!! He is also starting to grab onto things like toys or our fingers and bring them to his mouth! There are no teeth yet, which I am hoping won't come for a little while yet. Well I suppose I will put up some pics, so many to choose from so I'll just put up a bunch!!
