Baby Christian's Blessing!

Our little nephew, Christian Armstrong Lambert was given a name and a blessing today:)

 He is so precious and we love him to pieces

 Big sister Brooke is very proud of her baby brother!

 Anderson loves his little cousin, even when he is crying:)

LUMBERJACK PAT!!!!

Things around here are changing. We decided last year that we wanted more room in our backyard so we needed to take out the three trees behind the sunroom. Patrick took it upon himself to be the MANLY MAN that he is and be Lumberjack Pat and take the trees out!

 Well, the first two trees came down without a hitch but this third tree has proven a little more difficult. As you can see from the picture below, The Chainsaw got stuck in the tree. It is leaning toward our neighbor's house and started to act as though it was going to fall ont their house. Here is a picture of our neighbor, Ron coming over to watch. We accumulated quite a few more spectaters as the day progressed.

 Here is the only rope keeping the tree from going the wrong direction. In the left picture, you can see how much it is leaning. The towels were for our hands while we held the tree as Patrick was cutting.

Here is our friend Blythe (B:) clearing away some branches before the big show!!

 And DOWN IT CAME PERFECTLY WHERE PATRICK WANTED IT TO FALL~~~ The kiddos stayed inside with Cori's son JJ. He was a great Babysitter:)

 Good Job Lumberjack Pat!!!!

Here are the DRAMATIC BEFORE AND AFTER PICTURES!!!

 Also that day, Patrick decided to rid our yard of all the Arborvitae, So here is the before and after of that project.

 No More Arborvitae in the front between our house and the neighbor's house. CRAZY!!! I can't wait to post pictures when it actually LOOKS GOOD!!! so STAY TUNED!!!

Easter!!!

We had quite a few fun Easter Activities this year!

We started out by heading to my Mom and Dad's house to decorate eggs with our nieces and nephews. Anderson got his very own FIRST EASTER EGG!!!

 Here are all the eggs:)

 The kiddos had a blast!

 I LOVE THIS PICTURE!!! GREEN IS MY FAVORITE COLOR!!!

 The next Weekend, we headed to St. John's to hunt for Easter eggs in Patrick's Parent's neighborhood.

 Here are all the kiddos

 Anderson found his eggs and put them in his basket! He wanted to eat the eggs.

 Anderson's Cousins Kate and Addison were there too:)

 Sittin' in a Tree!

 Also that same day, we had an Easter Egg hunt at my parent's house. Here are all the kiddos

 Gathering their loot!

 Anderson and his little cousin Christian played hard and then were pretty tuckered out!

 Halle was TRYING to hold both babies. Anderson was pulling her hair and eating Christian....lol!

These are the ONLY pictures I took on Easter Sunday.

Anderson is 4 1/2 Months Old!!!

He is getting so big and he is becoming more aware of his suroundings:)

He is starting to sit up and can catch himself with his hands...sometimes:)

He is so cuddly and is very talkative and "sings" to music.

His absolutely favorite time of the day is when Daddy comes home. They cuddle wrestle and Anderson lights up with giddy excitement! I LOVE IT!

 Anderson LOVES HIS JUMPEROO!!! He bounces like a crazy boy and sings and talks and it is great for when I need to get stuff done around the house.

 It is quite the contraption:)

 

TEETHING!!!!

Anderson has been working on a tooth for a while. He drools all over himself requiring several bibs and outfit changes throughout the day. He CHEWS on EVERYTHING!!!!!

 He has been making this face (we lovingly call it the "Teething Face") He is using his tongue and feeling/massaging his gums...It is hilarious!

 He has had several restless nights for the past two weeks. Well, all of his work has paid off. Here it is. About to break through...ANDERSON'S FIRST TOOTH!!!! Can you see it? I will be taking pictures as it continues to make it's debut!

Hand and Foot for Paul!

Our buddy Paul just graduated from College and is ready to be a Police Officer. We are so proud of him and we threw him a party! We had a Game night with friends and had a Blast.

A game of "Hand and Foot!"

 Mugs!

 Hangin' Out

 Anderson Passed out while playing on the floor.

 Pauls's Cake, it is a spice cake with a pumpkin pie inside. It was so yummy. Good Job Blythe!
