Another doctor's visit

We had to go to the doctor again because he just can't shake this cough. After a week of breathing treatments, he's getting better, but definitely not 100%. Poor guy.



















He's been doing this really funny thing with his mouth lately where he sticks his lips out like he's puckering up for a kiss (see above picture). It's SO cute!

Halloween Pics

These pictures go backwards, but as you can see by the first picture, Malakai was a tired little Tigger on Halloween night, so we only made it to two friend's houses to trick-or-treat. Grammy and Gramps came down to surprise us and brought him lots of Halloween treats, including his very first Halloween cookie, which he loved by the way. Malakai has a really big stuffed Pooh bear in his room and we took it's shirt off and put it on Sawyer, so he could be Pooh for Halloween....I guess if you have Tigger, you've gotta have a Pooh bear. Sawyer LOVED being included on the fun. The last pictures are from a pumpkin patch that we went to earlier during the week with Charity and William....he played with the hay and was ready to go. I wish we could have gotten a picture of both of them, but Malakai still had a cough.

Moments that take my breath away...

Drumroll please...... : )

It's a BOY!!!!!!! Yes, we would have totally been head-over-heels for a girl, but I have to say we are so very excited that Logan and Mandy are having a boy! It was announced today in a sweet little riddle that they sent the family. I was so excited I could hardly read it, let alone think to figure it out. His name is adorable..."Weston Charles Cross"...how cute is that? Little Wes...
I know Malakai is very excited as well. So funny to think that they will only be 9 months apart and more than likely in the same grade! It will be so fun to watch Kai and Wes grow up together.
It won't be long now...her due date is March 15th, so stay tuned for pictures!

TODAY!

Today is a good day! First of all, it's raining outside and I LOVE the rain. Second, it's COLD and
I absolutely love cold weather...fleece, sweatshirts, sweatpants, fleece pullovers, beanies, sweaters, did I mention really soft fleece pullovers? OK, and third, my brother and his wife find out today if they are having a boy or a girl! I think I am more excited for them than I was when we found out what we were having! I have no idea why, but it makes me nervous! It's not like it could be bad either way....it will be awesome no matter what...it's just the excitement about it all that makes me nervous. It will be great if they have a boy, obviously, because he and Malakai will be so close in age....but it will also be great if they have a girl because we have no girls in our family and it's about time someone has one! Plus, my brother is a bit nervous about the possibility of having a girl....as most guys are I think....and it would be fun to see him with a girl! On that note, stay tuned for more info...

Precious Kate

This is our beautiful niece, Kate Marshall.
How adorable is she? She is just the sweetest little girl in the world!
She has this gorgeous, silky, dark hair that just makes her that much more "girlie" with her cute little bows and pink everything! I just love her! She and Malakai are about 9 or 10 weeks apart...I can't remember exactly. I have several more pics but here are a few for a start...

Trip to Kansas

Delirious...and more from our trip to Kansas

He decided to put on quite a show for us after lunch one day....it was nap-time, so he was close to delirious.
