I think we both have great fashion sense. These are our church outfits!

Baseball fans

2009-08-16T18:49:00.000-07:00

My cousin Luke and I got to see some of Cole's games with Kenzie and Mom. I had a great time w/ Cole's mom, Erin, she gives me bumpy rides! Dad coached again this year. It was so fun!

Kinda confused

2009-08-16T18:44:00.001-07:00

Football season is almost here and I am still not sure which team to cheer for!

Summer Fun!

Is there anything better....

2009-07-08T08:46:00.000-07:00

than hanging out w/ my big brother? I know... we're two pretty handsome fellas. The ladies tell us that all the time. We really can't help it. :)

My Chores

2009-07-08T08:37:00.000-07:00

Mom and Dad said I need to start pulling my weight around here. So I've been doing laundry, mowing the lawn, helping with yardwork, and watering the garden. It's tough work for a guy my age! As you can see, it's pretty exhausting.

Trey and Henry

2009-06-07T19:11:00.000-07:00

These pics just make me crack up. They were taken by our friend, Mindy (Henry's mom) last weekend. Henry and Trey both love the camera already! Henry is 7 months and Trey is 6.5 months in these pics.

2009 AIDS Walk

2009-06-07T19:06:00.000-07:00

A few weeks ago Jason, Cole, Trey and I did the AIDS Walk. It was the most beautiful day!! We walked for our friend, Duane who was diagnosed about 7 yrs ago and now speaks to all of my sophomore Health classes. My students just love him. It was fun to decorate the stroller. I told Duane that next year we are adding streamers!

Busy Days...

2009-04-03T11:34:00.000-07:00

Oh man, I have been a busy guy lately. Time to update with some pics! I now am eating rice cereal - it's not bad. I also had my first swim in the pool. I really wore myself out! My brother's baseball season starts today - I can't wait to see my first baseball game!

This shower was put on by mom's crazy school friends - Casie, Molly and Amanda.

A big thank you to Jenni, Kenzie, Steph and G-ma Sheila for this wonderful baby shower! Mom and I had a great time - I even saw some of my mom's first baby outfits that G-ma Sheila saved! And I really wanted to try a mimosa but mom said no. Bummer!

G-ma Sheila & Auntie Kenzie came over last weekend to paint my baby room. Bea, the dog, helped too. They put four different colors on the walls. My dad is going to paint some safari animals on the walls for me to look at. Here he is sketching away. I can hardly wait!

What?! More Friends?

2008-09-07T15:34:00.001-07:00

My Cuz Luke

2008-09-07T15:17:00.000-07:00

My cousin Luke is great practice for mom.... and also helps jog my dad's memory of what it's like to have a little guy around. Here he is on my horsey from my G-ma. I think he is doing a great job breaking it in for me.

2008-07-15T14:51:00.000-07:00

Carrie Spiegelhoff- Due Dec 12th, Megan Cheeseman- Due Oct 31st (GIRL!), mom and me - Due Nov 10th and Mindy Olson- Due Nov 8th. This was in Prairie Du Chien for WWW - a weekend of women only, guess I was pretty lucky to be there!

A Day at the Dog Park

2008-07-15T14:46:00.000-07:00

One Year Anniversary

2008-06-25T14:11:00.000-07:00

I had dinner with my mom and dad last nite for their one-year anniversary. It was really good. Here's a picture of me growing in mom's belly. She's getting big! I'm now 20 weeks and I just started giving mom little nudges to let her know I'm there.

My Crazy Dad

2008-06-25T14:06:00.000-07:00

This is my dad doing yardwork. He makes the neighbors laugh with his outfits. Charlie, our dog, also helps with the weeding. But then he comes in to take a nap. Looks like he better rest now because before he knows it, I'll be here!

Watching My Brother Play Baseball

2008-06-25T13:40:00.000-07:00

One of my mom's favorite places to take me is to my brother Cole's baseball games. I also get to listen to my dad coach, he's really loud. It looks like Cole really knows how to play this game ~ he pitches and bats! I hope he teaches me everything he knows!

A Boy!

2008-06-25T13:30:00.000-07:00

Finally, finally, finally they noticed .... I'm a BOY! Mom and Dad were so happy to hear at the 18 week ultrasound that all is well with me. Here are some of my snapshots.

I'm on my way!

2008-06-25T07:39:00.000-07:00

This is me at the first 8-week appointment at the doctor with mom and dad. Dad saw my little heart beating before anyone else! He must of had some practice with Cole :) Well done Dad! The doctor said I was probably the size of a grain of rice in the picture. I can't wait to get bigger! Mom, bring on those Burger King whoppers ~ those are my fav!
