Happy 2 months Clark!

Clark is going to go to his doctor check up and getting his shots for his 2 month b-day. Yeah!

It's been hard to catch his smile on camera because when he sees the camera he stares at it with a concentrating look on his face or the camera flash seems to kill any smile.

They had a church play day/Head band making day. Everyone didn't understand why I was making bows when I have three boys. Not to ruin the surprise, but I needed to make baby gifts. I thought they turned out cute.

So mean! but I needed a model. Actually I made all the boys try one on so I knew that they would work for all ages. Clark's was just the only defenseless one that could pull it off one second after I put it on.

Gabe is into wearing costumes right now, and he can did it by himself.

Playing

P.S. My brother have a kickin' 10th Anniversary party this weekend. They hired a DJ for dancing. Ben and I danced for over two hours, and I'm feeling it today especially in my abs. I thought I was going to be 20 and youthful forever. I'm definitely starting to feel 30 creeping up on me.

Friday Movie Night- Popcorn and Juice. Ben was on call at the hospital and missed the fun. He went straight from work to the ER and didn't get home until 6:30 am (his busiest call night ever).

Funny man

Clark playing with his wrist toys. He likes the little noise.

Clafk spent Sunday sleeping in the wrap. He got his first stuffy nose this weekend, and was sleeping better upright in the wrap.

I cut my hair. I'm all burnette now.

I've finally cut most of the died hair out, so my naturally color is shining through now.

Sunday morning was crazy. The boys were tired because we went to the Hockey game the night before, so I guess I deserved this. All three boys were crying. I was having such an overwhelming moment that if I didn't stop and take a photo clip and laugh it off, I would have cried and given up on attending church. My blog is always pretty positive, but we are a normal family with very crazy moments.

Happy Valentines!

Connecting with our baby!

Clark 6 weeks old. Styling in his 3-6 month clothes.

Ben's Dream Week- He finally won the battle for a new TV.

Ben had the time of his life meeting Ty Detmer this week.

He autographed his football and jersey.

We went on our first totally alone date since Clark was born. Skiing on Valentine's Day! It was Ben first time. It was a funny experience.

Ready for church. Gabe's sweet little suit that I scored from DI. At least the kids looked cute. I didn't get to put any mascara on today, and at church I got asked a lot if I was tired. After skiing yesterday, yes I am.

One thing that I love that we do in our family is dance to music. Saturday morning we danced in our pjs to the jukebox music on the special features of the new Madagascar 2 movie. Gabe dancing with Clark.

We love you all!

Smiling!

We got my grandparent's old trampoline and squeezed it into our backyard, so the boys could burn off some energy during the day.

Clark has started have a "fussy time" in the early evening for about an hour. Different things help him calm down each time- some fresh air from outside, being in the baby front carrier, Vacuuming, the pacifier, being held looking outward, the football hold, or a combination.

To balance out the fussy time, Clark has started smiling a little.

I caught it on tape which was great. Mute the sound if you don't want to hear my baby talk.

This weeks funnies:

Ben thought this was hilarious.


I found this on the camera, taken by Luke, it was funny.

While we're on funny video, here's a funny one from the end of December. The boys were doing their lion roars. Make sure your volume is turned down for this one.

I hope our little video fan's enjoyed these.

Kickin' it!

Clark is 1 month old but looks like 2 months old.

Clark's funny cross-eyes. We rarely see them anymore.

A sleeping baby is a beautiful thing. He's starting to sleep 5-6 hours straight at night. Let's hope that continues.

We got a new dishwasher! The boys loved the box and packaging.

Ben reading the instillation instructions. He's the man.

Luke ready to go to his first soccer game.

Luke runs into the frame with speed, goes for the ball, and falls. He was really skilled and fast for his age and his first game ever. He thought it looked cool to fall down while playing and did it often during the game. He scored 3 goals. :) He had so much fun, and it was a blast to watch him.
