Home Projects

Now that basketball is over, Shane has been busy working around the house to complete some projects. His latest projects include a cute little dresser in Ali's room, a huge wooden letter T that hangs in our hallway upstairs, a shower door in our downstairs bathroom, and finished trim around the front door. I just love having such a handy husband! Stay tuned for more updates!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day about a week late! Nannie bought Ali this adorable little outfit, and I couldn't wait to put her in it. It is definitely more fun to dress little girls compared to little boys!

Notice the cute Valentine outfits for the boys (not) and I'm pretty sure Bryce was not wearing any pants!

One Month Old

Well, our little Miss Ali Kay turned one month old on Monday. She is so serious and as hard as Bryce and I tried, we could not get a smile out of her. She is such a sweet little girl and the boys just adore her. They are such good helpers with her and still love to hold her, but only when she is not crying. She holds her head up, loves to play and kick on the floor, eats good and sleeps good. In fact, she slept almost five hours last night before we had to wake her up to eat. She is just a little sweetheart and we can't imagine our lives without her!

Our Crazy Life at Home

We have definitely been enjoying our time at home. Ali and I have only left the house four times in four weeks! There is so much sickness going around, I just don't want to risk taking her out and about quite yet.  After my C-section I am only suppose to do stairs when necessary, so I have had to stay on the main level during the day with the boys. This means that a lot of their toys now make their way to the living room and take over. It will be nice when I can do the basement stairs and we can play down there again. But for now, our living room is taken over by toys and that's ok. Here's a few random pictures from our life lately. Most days the boys never get out of their pajamas and they have so much fun playing together.

                            Reading to all three kids can sometimes be a challenge, but I was able to do it on this particular night.

The Tucker family came to visit us and Izzy loved holding Ali

Life at Home with Ali

We headed home from the hospital on Sunday, January 22. Nannie was there to meet us and Grandpa Bill and Grammie Gale brought the boys home. They were so excited to be home after being away for 4 days! It was nice to be home as a family of 5!

                    This is our favorite position to take a nap

               Bryce loved giving Ali her first bath at home

Aunt Jenn and Jake came over one morning last week and we had fun playing dress-up. This was the outfit that I bought Jayla right after she was born.

Six of Shane's basketball girls came to visit us this past Thursday night. They were so excited to meet and hold Ali. They also had fun playing with the boys!

These next pictures just melt my heart. They are seriously the best big brothers ever and they just love holding their little sister. Ali loves it too!

Lots of Visitors

During our 3 day stay in the hospital, we had a lot of visitors who couldn't wait to meet Ali Katherine!

     Her big brothers were especially excited to meet her!
