the room is complete!!!!

I didn't finish puting up the wall border on this one wall because I was about 12 inches too short. I was contimplating just ending it behind the door but didn't like that idea so much. So I have been in search for a dresser I could just put the monkey canvas on and have the bare wall border hidden behind that. I have been looking on craig's list for a cheap nice solid dresser for months. I didn't need one right away so I was waiting for the perfect deal. I spotted this one and nabbed it. I got the dresser and matching night stand for $75. It's more than we need for little Ivan at this time but it is solid wood and will grow with him nicely through the years. So the wall border is up!!!!! Shelves are stocked!!!! and the room is complete.... ( FOR NOW :) )

grand total out of pocket expense for room: around $ 270. (crib, bedding, dresser, changing table, shelves, and decor)

and of course ever post is in need of a new picture of the little man himself :)

already for church

well this outfit was 3-6 so I didn't think it would fit but I put it on him this morning and he is almost ready for the next size up... dang it...its been hanging in the closet for 2 months and we almost missed wearing it. apparently I have a chunky monkey on my hands. he sure is handsome though.

IVAN 2 MONTHS

Ivan's 2 month birthday has come and gone, boy has time flown by. He has gotten so big. He got his shots and check up and measured

Height: 24 5/8 inches long (96%)

Weight: 12 lbs 13 oz (75%)

Head: 16 inchs (75%)

He also had his blessing last sunday and my whole family came up from california for the occasion...and left with the stomach flu..SORRY.

We had a lot of fun while my family was in town. Craig took the guys shooting. We celebrated my dad's birthday(april 30th) and my brother's birthday (may 1st) as well that weekend and we all went to Wahooz.

I had 27 people sleeping at my house saturday night and we had 43 people over for dinner and ivan's blessing on sunday. It was their first time seeing the house and it was nice having enough room for everyone. I got to meet Ivan's little 2 day older cousin Braxtin for the first time as well and 5 month old CJ.

ivan's latest photoshoot.

T Ball

We signed Soren up for Tball this year and he seems to be enjoying it. He is learning a lot and getting better every day. He just looks so grown up and cute in his uniform :) I was looking at prices for their team pictures and decided to take the individual one myself. I will just buy the team print :)

He is a Pirate and he is number 4!

Ivan 1 month old

Ivan had his 1 month birthday this easter sunday. I just love how completely different his demeanor is when he smiles. He is doing it more and more these days and it seems to always happen when he focuses his eyes and realizes he has found my face and knows who he's looking at. I certainly can't help but light up myself either when he smiles.

We all just love this little guy to death. I have to constantly tell kaydence and Soren to STOP kissing him and get out of his face already :)

and then there were 5

We got all 5 babies together this Easter. Landen is only 1 week old and the twins will be 2 weeks this tuesday. Ivan is 1 month today and Keegan is 7 weeks. He has gotten so big, i'm sure he has surpassed Ivan in weight although it still looks like Ivan might still have him in height. but they are pretty close. Ivan hasn't filled out his legs like Keegan has.. Ivan still has little Craiger stick legs. We will see if that changes :) Cole has changed a lot since I last saw him. His bruise on his head is gone and he is looking more and more like Luke and Derek all the time. (I think) They both look like little wrinkled toothless turtles and if you know me then you will know I love that :) So cute! I can't believe how great landen looks at only one week old. He isn't all splotchy or swollen looking at all. Ivan still looks "newborn" and he is 3 weeks older.

Here is a video of the 5 boys. If you look at cole he is trying to eat Landen..It was so funny. Lindsey had just fed him and he is one hungry boy all the time. He eats 3 times as much as Luke. Chris (Keegan's daddy) is walking behind then and you can see Ivan following him around as he walks back and forth.

Landen, Cole, Luke, Ivan, Keegan (from youngest to oldest)

They're the 5 starters for the Huskies basketball team 2023 or some have said the youngest boy band.

here is another same thing.
