Petey Bear

Since he won't smile in pictures, I thought I would get some video!

Some Pictures of Peter...

Seriously, cannot get him to smile at the camera.  He smiles at me all day long and is "talking" now.  He full on laughed the other day, but as soon as the camera comes out he is all about the flash.  Maggie was the same way so it is probably an eyesight thing:)

 

This one on the other hand...I load my pictures and this is what I find...

Crazy kiddo!

Some Pictures of Soccer!

A little of this and a little of that...

I have been off the radar again:(  Part of the problem is that I have stuff to write about but no pictures to go along with it so then I figure "Who cares what I write they just want to see pictures."  So then I don't write and now it has been over 3 weeks!  At any rate you are getting updates with no pictures sorry!  I will try and take pictures!
So soccer started again for Matthew!  They look so cute out there.  They switched to a different league so they had to get new uniforms.  They are now purple and I believe want to be called purple pumas.  They had one game so far and played so well.  It was great to see the progression from last year to this year.  They have all matured and really started to play well as a team.  I give their coach all the credit.  He is so patient and never gets mad at them.  There were some not-so-great coaches last year and it was sad.  I mean they were 5 years old.  Richie is amazing with those boys and it shows this year.  The boys are having fun and playing better than ever!
Chris, Peter, and I went to Walla Walla for the weekend to go to a dental meeting.  It was nice to get away with just Peter and be on his schedule.  There was a lot of snuggling and watching TLC's "Say Yes to the Dress".  It was glorious!  Also, I was able to catch up with my friend who took the pictures of the kids after Peter was born.  (Her hubby is a dentist as well) She is pretty amazing and I always look forward to seeing her!  I have to brag a bit.  Chris won an award (a total surprise to him) for all the work he has done in dental politics.  I was so proud of him and happy that they are recognizing the hard work he has done! 
Maggie had an eye appointment on Monday.  The good news is that she only has to patch 5 out of 7 days which is perfect because we can take school days off!  Also, glasses and patching has helped so much she probably doesn't have to have another surgery!  Yeah!  The doctor did a small exam and Peter and told me that he also has what Maggie has (OCA type 1B).  I wasn't all that surprised.  I mean he emerged with blond hair and all!!!  I guess he gets to start the eye exams...
School is in full swing and I am getting more and more in a routine.  I am feeling really good about this.  Routine is good for me:)  I am even figuring out time to workout.  Today was my first day!  I took a walk around the neighborhood and it felt really good.  What REALLY felt good was being able to chat uninterrupted with Kelli because the only two kids we had can't talk! HA:)  I figure even a couple of days a week is better than nothing and I will get there.  Peter can't go to the gym until 6 months and frankly there are too many germs there anyway so I am ok with that.  I want to make sure my milk supply stays strong and I am not killing myself with my schedule. 
That is about all from us.  I will take some pictures soon I promise! 

2 months old!

Wow has the time flew!  I can't believe that Peter is already 2 months old.  He is a sweet thing that is absolutely a mama's boy!  Even Chris says that he doesn't even care about him.  I can't really blame Peter.  Besides the fact that I am AWESOME;) I am his food source and the one that takes care of him. He is a snuggler and just the sweetest.  I am a lucky lady and he is the perfect *period* on our family!  Anyway, wanted to share his stats and some pictures.  Also, wanted to share a picture of each kid at the same age.  Seriously if you took the hair off of them they would look like triplets!

Weight: 11lbs 13 oz 39%
Height: 24.5 inches 97%
Head: 16 inches 90%

Yep, just like the others...long and lean!  He is a great sleeper and a great eater.  I am just trying to take him in and enjoy him because he is the last.  I am totally fine with that but I just don't want to wish it away.  I realize that he doesn't talk back or talk at all yet so he is really the easy one:)  haha

I was like the paparazzi in the doctor's office!  This was pre shots:(

Here is each one of them at 2 months:

First Day of Ballet

Maggie went to her first day of ballet/tap today!  It is the same place she did it last year.  I am loving it because there are 4 girls in her class (including her) and the other two girls are her friends from pre school.  The last girl seems very nice and her mom is nice!  Her teacher is still Ms. Talia so it wasn't too big of a stretch from last year.  I am very excited for her!!

Her friend Hailey from pre school

First Day of School!!!

Today was the first day of school.  It was only a half day so it was kind of a tease considering all of the work I had to do to get the kids there on time this morning but it was fun.  I only got a little emotional when I took Matthew to first grade. FIRST GRADE!  I cannot believe it.  He is such a big boy though and he marched right in and didn't even really want to give me a kiss:(  Maggie was completely fine in pre school too and she played and played.  It was crazy because it was just me and Peter for 2.5 hours!  I am looking forward to the time especially when I can get back to the gym and start working out again. (I am not rushing that...)  Here are a couple of pictures of my first morning of freedom.

Babbling Away...

I took some video on my phone of Peter smiling.  It is kind of hard to capture it in a picture so I opted for the video.  He loves to "babble" and smile!  It is pretty adorable:)

This and That

Not much has really gone on this past week.  Just gearing up for the first day of school...(I am happy and sad about that) I have a couple of pictures of Matthew and Peter that are so cute!!  I know Peter is 2 months old and I want to write about that but he has a doctor's appointment on Thursday so I will update after that.  Also, I am proud to report that Chris and I got out for a couple of hours Saturday night!  I say proud because I left the kids with Amber:)  Not that I don't implicitly trust her but I have trouble with all three and I am the food supply of Peter so I was nervous leaving him.  But Chris insisted we go and he never wants to go out so I said ok!  Of course Amber was great and it felt really good to get out for a couple of hours:)  Anyway, it is a big week with school starting and Peter's appointment so there will be a lot to update!!!

 These two are so cute together!
