Tyler - 3 Months Old!!



Wow, it is so hard to believe that Tyler is already 3 months old!! And, we are happy to say that 3 is the magic number - no more colic!! Thankfully we all got through the tough colic stage, and we now have an extremely happy baby who now hardly ever cries and makes all sorts of adorable sounds. He weighs almost 15 pounds and is 23.5" long, so he is definitely a healthy baby. Now if we could just get him to sleep a little better at night, he'd be absolutely perfect! :)







New York City!



Every year Taryn and I go out to New York City in May for the National Stationery Show, where we find great new products & vendors for Scribbles. I couldn't bear to leave Tyler at home for 5 days since he is only 3 months old, so Tyler and Jason came along too! We had a great time, and Tyler did so great in the big city! Jake was lucky enough to have his Aunt Rachelle and Uncle Tony stay at home with him while we were gone, and they had a great time - I'm not sure we were missed very much. :)





Mother's Day 2010



Well, once again I was spoiled on Mother's Day - this year by all 3 of my guys!! We had a great day relaxing at home ending with a great dinner cooked by Jason. I consider myself very lucky to have 2 amazing sons and such a wonderful husband!!


Jake's School Program



Jake had his first school program, with lots of singing and dancing! Jake did great and had a lot of fun.

Rachelle & Tony's Wedding!


Jason's youngest sister Rachelle married Tony Bruno in Fort Collins, and we all had a great time at the wedding! Rachelle was a beautiful bride, and Jake was an adorable ring bearer. It was a busy weekend filled with lots of fun events, and we wish Rachelle & Tony a very happy life together!!

Such a fun night!


Jason and Tyler dancing


Who knew we had a dancer on our hands, Jake literally did not leave the dance floor all night - he had so much fun!!

Tyler - 2 Months Old!


Hard to believe that Tyler is already 2 months old, the days definitely go by fast!! Tyler weighs almost 12 pounds, so almost double his birth weight already! Unfortunately he has become very "colicky" the poor guy, it's so hard for all 3 of us listen to him cry and not be able to help him... He also really likes to be held, he'll remind you of this as soon as you try to put him down. :) But, he is as cute as can be and already loves to watch his big brother. Here are some pictures of him the past few weeks...




Not always a big fan of bath time...


Gramps


As many people know, Kelly's grandfather Harold passed away... He was 93 years old and had led a great life, but he will be greatly missed by all of his friends and family. All four of us went back to Portland for the funeral, and even though it was a sad occasion that took us there we had a very good time with lots of family and friends.


Jake and his cousin Drew at the reception after the funeral, they always have so much fun together!


All of the Grandchildren and Great-Grandchildren (we were missing MJ and Thatcher)


All of the grandchildren, I don't think we've all been together for over 10 years!

Easter 2010



We had a great Easter this year, we loved hearing Jake get excited about the Easter Bunny! The day of Easter we went to a great Easter service that is held outside in a big amphitheater (thankfully the weather was pretty good this year) and then had a very fun lunch at Taryn's house with her family & a few other friends. Jake had a total of 3 Easter egg hunts, and loved each one!



At the Highlands Ranch Easter Egg hunt, Jake's first "official" egg hunt - lots & lots of eggs! :)

The Easter Bunny definitely spoiled Jake & Tyler!



Checking out where the Easter Bunny might have hid the eggs at Taryn's house...


Very fun Easter Egg hunt at Taryn's house - the Easter Bunny really loaded up the eggs!


Happy Easter!
