A good egg and getting fat!

So, we are helping out with Danny's sister and family's house while they are traveling. Therefore, that involves talking care of their dogs, some kittens, and chickens. Well, honestly, Danny is doing most of the work.


But, check out the egg on the right. I made Danny crack it because I was scared there might be a whole baby chick in there or something. And, do you know what we found. . . A double yoke!



And, it is a big day today. I was able to pack up all of the preemie clothes because my little boy is getting fat. I am going to go and weigh him sometime this week, but I think he has to be nearing 10 lbs. Check it out for yourself! See all of the fat rolls. :) :)





And a cool picture from a wedding we went to in MT!

I still can't believe we have a kid! How cool. :)

Then, onto the Cabin



Next, I headed to my family's cabin for four days. This cabin is my favorite place in the world with many memories as my parents have owned it since I was 2.








It is especially special since Danny and I got married there more than a year ago. Here we are with our first kiss!









I even got spoiled by my Dad when he took me to get ice cream at the Dew Drop while my mom babysat. :)
And Dad, all I can say is I love you despite your taste in fashion.

And, Zeke seems to have a magical effect in putting people to sleep. I especially like this one with the open mouth effect. Hope you forgive me Mom!

Onto the next adventure

From Dickinson, Danny headed back to Fergus because he had to work. :( Since I am still on maternity leave, I thought it would be great to drive the rest of the way to MT and spend time with friends and family. :) It was an awesome time and so much fun introducing Zeke to so many people I love and care about. Here are a few pictures from out time there.

I miss you guys!




Old friends




I got the chance to visit some special kids that I used to work with as well and introduce them to Zeke!

Our Traveling


We first headed to Dickinson, ND for Zeke's first wedding. Danny's little sister Becky got married. We traveled in the car with Zeke's older cousin (by 3 days) and family and we made it alive with two kids about a month old. :)







My crazy husband. . . wonder where he gets it from. . .



oh yeah, his dad




My tired and hot little boy

Tired after traveling


Well, it has been almost a month since I have posted a blog. We have been busy with traveling first to Dickinson, ND for Danny's little sister's wedding and then onto Montana to visit family and friends. It was an awesome time and I promise to post pictures as soon as I catch up on laundry, cleaning the house, and buying something to put in our refrig.


Here is one photo of a tired little traveler after driving through the night last night. Unlike his parents, at least he still looks cute after traveling. :)

Training your child

So, Danny and I have done some reading on the importance of training your child as they grow. . .

Well, I'm guessing that Tobie (the dog) has also done some of that same reading. Yesterday while Zeke was hanging out in his swing, she decided to start training him to play ball with her.









She very gently dropped the ball directly next to him in the swing and then waited for him to throw it. I'm not sure how long she would have waited. :)

I then had to tell her to he wasn't quite ready to play catch with her and to retrieve her ball as seen by this picture as Zeke looked on.


We also had some visitors with his two cousins and friend. I thought they were coming to hang out with me but I think I was mistaken. :)
