Old pictures... from May

Okay. Well, I finally found my camera case with my other pictures in it. Actually, I have had it for awhile, but am finally getting around to posting them! The first ones are from Avery's 2nd birthday party (her b-day was May 1 -- see I told you the pictures were old!) And then the last few ones are of the cutest little boy in his new house!

Tobey and Avery cheesin' it up for the camera!

Avery and her full plate of food.

Andrew eating his first rib -- the first one didn't have meat on it (mom ate it!)

But, he cleaned this one himself!

One of Avery's very cute gifts ... she liked her swim suit!

Andrew's cute mohawk...

I walked into Andrew's room before we moved and this is what I saw ... he was sitting up and sleeping. It was so cute.

I didn't even know I had this picture, until I downloaded them on the computer today. It just makes me laugh! It is like he is saying, "Go ahead, I dare you."

Andrew thinks it is more fun to play with the exersaucer from standing on the outside then sitting in it!

My cute little man!

The Newest Registered Nurse ...

Thank you so much to all of you who prayed for Tobey this past Thursday as she was taking the NCLEX (nursing boards). We have a new RN in our family! We just found out that she PASSED the exam! So, Tobey, congratulations and enjoy your vacation in Bermuda!

Tobey

Hi everyone... I just wanted to ask you to pray for my sister today. Tobey is taking the NCLEX (nursing licensure examine) today (Thursday, June 19) at 2pm. Please pray that she thinks clearly and understands what the question is asking. Please also pray that she is calm and relaxed for the test. I know that she will do great!

And on a side note, Andrew and I are doing well. Staying very busy, hence the reason for no recent posts. BUT, I will TRY to put some pictures up and update soon. I hope that all is going well for each of you!

Tobey -- we are praying for you! You will do great!

Andrew is Walking...

Okay, well, that title is not telling the full truth. Andrew walks if he is holding on to something. When we were at Josh and Bonnie's house on memorial day, I saw one of Avery's old toys. It is one of the toys that you stand behind and push and it moves, so then you have to walk. I'm sure it has a name, but I can't think of it. But, Andrew loves it! The only problem he has is when he runs into something, he doesn't know that he has reverse yet!

(The other voice in the background was Tobey.)

** and a clarification... in the posts below, it looks like Andrew is standing up alone ... he isn't. He is leaning against the wall. He doesn't stand alone yet. He does like to stand, but he wants something to hang on to so he doesn't fall. I think walking is in the very near future! **

Fun Times ...

Okay -- well, here we are, finally up-to-date. Well, almost. I have pictures from Mother's Day, but they are on another card and I can't find it. I'm sure it is somewhere in this house ... probably under some box! Oh, and I haven't taken pictures of the house yet. I kind of want to get it a little more organized before I take some pictures. I could post the before pics, but they are with my Mother Day pictures! But enjoy the cute little boy in the pictures. He is my favorite!

Andrew in his new bathtub. He enjoys this new tub ... he is big and he can crawl all over it! He is so cute when he is playing with all of his toys. He gets so excited about them and rushes to get them!

I had just poured water over his head and this is the look I got!

Andrew standing on his changing table... this was just after his bath and he is posing for me!

Look, I can stand up at my bed. It is so cute when he does this. And don't worry, the mattress is at the lowest level. Hopefully, he won't learn to climb too soon!

Andrew in his cute little overalls that Hutch and Ashley bougth him ... isn't he super cute?

Avery and Andrew playing with toys ... it almost looks like they are waving at us.

Avery and her big beautiful eyes!

Cute little Avery sitting with the Boppy ... she spent the night with us and used the boppy for her pillow. It was so cute!

On Memorial Day, Andrew and I met up with Tobey, Lem, Josh, Bonnie and Avery for lunch at an Indian restaurant. Tobey's birthday was on the 27th, so this was her birthday get together. We had a lovely time eating so good food!

Andrew thinks, "hmm, what should I order?"

Isn't his bib so cute? :)

I guess someone told a funny joke ...

It is still funny to him!

Avery staying still long enough for a picture ... with a mouth full of water!

I want some of what you are having, please!

Avery saying, "Can I have some more, please?"

The beautiful birthday girl ... isn't she beautiful?

Avery, sleeping after our delicous meal. She wrapped her blanket around her head to go to sleep.

Andrew was worn out too!

After lunch, we all went back to Josh and Bonnie's house for the afternoon ... where Andrew went swimming for the first time!

Andrew was so excited about getting to go swimming!

Our first time swimming!

Andrew loved the water! He liked being in one of Avery's floats.

He really didn't even mind being dunked in the water!

But, he did get a little tired and enjoyed the warm towel!

Andrew, again, posing. But notice his "Jordan" tongue. He likes to stick it out like this.

Andrew's cute little safari outfit! He likes it too!

Eating chicken nuggets and mac & cheese! It was so yummy!

Our thinking pose!

Smiling for the camera!
