Our 'Out Take' Pictures

BLAH!! Here's my tongue!

If you look close enough, you can see bubbles coming out of James' mouth!

Silly boy!

Peter looks like he has to go to the bathroom! :0)

It was SO hard getting Peter to look at the camera, because he just wanted to watch James in that basket!

Easter Pictures of My Boys!

We had some professional pictures taken of the boys, together. This was the first time that Peter & James were in the SAME pictures! Peter got to hold James, which he was very excited about, but in about 3 minutes said, "Oh, he's very very heavy!". It was short lived, but we got some really cute pictures out of them together!

Peter turns 3!!!

My sweet first born babe turned 3 years old this month!


I teasingly told my husband, "I'm too young to have a 3 year old!" This was an interesting day. . .we happened to schedule our picture day on a snowy/winter storm. Not only that, but I still thought that this picture place was IN the mall, and it wasn't. . .it was outside in a Outdoor 'Village' building. So, after walking through the mall and discovering our little problem, we then had to walk outside in the windy snow and go across the street to another building, with me holding Peter, while my face is freezing and barely being able to see, and with Tim walking the stroller with James in it across the unshoveled streets. . .it was quit an experience! We made it, and the boys did beautifully and the pictures turned out great!

James - 3 Months Old

My little baby turned 3 months old this month!


He got his first professional pictures done today, and did SO well! He smiled in almost every single picture! The best part of all, we were there for two hours, and no tears from this little guy! Bonus!!!

Mother Teresa-look alike

I just thought this was sooo cute!

There's a Smile!

Wait for it. . .

. . .wait for it. . .

There it is!

'Baby James', as Peter still likes to call him, is really sensitive to touch. Meaning, he likes it enough to smile every time you touch his check or tickled his legs or caress his little head. He LOVES it!!! So, tomorrow we venture for our first Peter & James pictures! We are getting a load done all at once. . .Peter's 3rd yr. ones, James' 3rd mnth. ones, and their (first ever 'professional') joint Easter pictures. I made the appointment for Friday afternoon, so that Tim could go and help out. I know how difficult it was to take ONE baby to get pictures, so I'm sure that TWO kids isn't going to be any easier. They have adorable outfits. . .I can't wait!

Peter's 3rd Birthday Party!

Today, my little guy had his birthday party and is turning 3 on Tuesday! I can't believe how fast this went. It makes me sad to think how quickly he has grown, but it thrills my heart to see him doing it so well. He is so smart and I get such wonderful compliments about his manners and how polite he is, and that just makes me that much more proud of him. Peter wanted a Pixar Cars theme birthday party. So, we shopped around, for the best deals at the best stores and tried our best to make it a day that he'll remember. He had 7 friends (all around 2 yrs. old) and 3 soon-to-be baby friends (Charlie, Riley and James). He had both sets of grandparents there and his Uncle Dave and Aunt Caralee. His favorite 'grown-up' friend, Josh King, and his soon-to-be-expecting wife, Sami were also there to help celebrate. He had a blast! He was so overwhelmed that we could NOT get him to eat. . .and that's saying something, because this kid is about to eat us out of house and home! Tomorrow, he'll wake up to all new toys and it will be like his birthday party all over again. Tim and I stayed up late to put together most of his toys and we saved some of them for Tim to put together with Peter in the morning. (gotta love second shift!) This was a birthday to remember, thanks to all of our good friends and family for making this day so special for him!

Peter is a 'hugger' and these pictures I just LOVE, because he's so affectionate and some of his friends were less than thrilled about having him invade their space. . .it just kills me! :0) He is a 'Lady Charmer' though, too. So, he loved that so many girls came to his party. . .and of course, they got the first of the chain of hugs!

His BIG gift was a BIKE! Thanks Pa-Pa & Grandma Weldon and Uncle Patrick & Aunt Pafrine!!





Peter got a LOT of gifts at his birthday party! Here's a couple of them, mostly toys and books from the CARS movie. . .which he adored! Some of the things that he got included a Thomas the Train tent, a remote-control monster truck, lots of Lightning McQueen toys and legos, a fire truck, a huge dump truck, blocks, puzzles and lots of books. He was in shock for most of the night, he didn't know which gift to open first, and he had lots of help opening them too! :0) We had a room (Dave & Dot's Club House) full of 2 year olds, and hardly any tears. . .praise the Lord . . that's a miracle in itself!
