Exploring the new area!!!

EEEWWWWW...kinda hard to see but there is a snake in there!!! I noticed it while we were walking.....have I ever mentioned that I ABSOLUTELY HATE snakes!!!! I will have to try and enhance this picture in photo shop when I have a minute!!!
This one is hard to see too....I was afraid to get close to it in case there were any more snakes....eeewww. It's a very pretty purpple flower in the midst of a whole lot of brown. I'll have to enhance thisone too!!!
Little signs of spring...makes me happy!!
He thinks he is soooo funny!!!rHe is cute though!!!


Looking for rocks to throw into the water!!!
He was mad that we stopped!!!
This is the state trail that we found. It was nice but hard to push the stroller because it's not paved. Good work out though : )
Wow he looks so much bigger in the car seat now!!!
And he's a sleep blowing bubbles out of his mouth : )
Little man!!! Growing out of the Neworn clothes already : (
They look so sweet when they are sleeping!!!

I do still take pictures of Conner : )

He thinks he's so funny!!!
Ohhh so careful!!!
Making himself right at home...he found a new cabinet to hide in!!!
A new place to line up his cars....

Filling in quite nicely!!!

I can hardly believe it but he's already growing out of the newborn things!! I guess that he will be a month old in a couple days!!!

Other days!!!

Some days he will just zonk out anywhere at all!!! Today is a bad day...he's all out of sorts and nothing seems to help. No snuggle and not even nursing : ( Maybe we wont get to the park after all.

Some days!!!

Some days he's just not happy at all....
...nothing will settle him down and especially at night when we want to go to bed...he just cries and cries. Poor little man : (

Poor kids : (

Conner has been sick for a few days now but seems much better today but it appears that Ethan is getting sick too. He has been up half the night throwing up and he sounds very congested. Poor little man. We might be going in to see the dr. today...have to see how the day goes. I have to find a new pediatrician again....story of my life.

Mmmmm yummyyy!!!

He likes his thumb!!!

We had visitors!!!

My sister and her daughter Katie!!! And my sister is wearing my sweat shirt that DOES NOT fit me right now....BRAT...lol!!!
Ula and Conner eating a snack...surprise surprise!!
Madzia and Ethan!!!
Madzia and Conner!!!
Katie and Ethan....they are both so awesome with my boys that I wish I could keep them around longer : )

A few pictures!!!

Brotherly LOVE!!! Conner is still keeping his distance but is quite the helper with getting Ethan's pacifier or diaper...he loves to help with the diaper changing. I'm sure once Ethan gets bigger they will be good buds though : )
Still doing a whole lot of sleeping these days!!!
But sometimes we do see those pretty eyes of his : )
Conner helping Mom make tea for dad!!!
Playing in the dirt!!!
So much fun getting messy!!!
He likes to be left alone for the most part and usually fusses when you hold him!!! He LOVES the bassinet we borrowed from his cousin's Mallory and Tommy!!! Sleeps much better in there then next to his mama : ( He has had some good nights, a couple times I only had to feed him once a night but he also has some bad nights when he wants to eat every hour or two which for the most part I do not mind since he does not like to be held too much I enjoy the little snuggles I get during nursing.

My first day by myself....

Well Neal went back to work today : ( and I'm still hanging in there. Almost all unpacked and the house cleaned...most the laundry done and the kids are fed and changed....whooo hooo!!! I can do this!!!! I was a little worried about being all by myself but it's not so bad, actually it's been nice to get a routine started again!!! Now both the kids are trying to get to sleep!! I hear Conner still tossing and turning in his room and Ethan's eyes are starting to roll back. Maybe I can actually get a shower in...it's only 1:00 PM...haha!!! Ohh well I have a good excuse still trying to unpack and get organized.

Quick update...

We are almost all moved. We just unloaded the first truck the 2nd one is mostly storage things!!! Now to unpack...ugghhh!!! I'm a little upset because every time we move something breaks and something gets dirty. Our couches sure took a beating this time....ohhh well I guess. One more move for us and then we should be done for a while.

Good for me....

I went for my 1st run after the baby...it's been about 8 months!!! It felt great but I'm really out of shape!!!

Cutie!!!

I think He looks all grown up in this one. It might be all the adorable hair...I hope he does not loose it!!! I see my dad in him in this picture!!!
Not sure if I ever mentioned that Ethan was born with a beautiful birth mark on his arm!!! You can see it in this picture!!!

Brothers!!!

This is pretty close proximity to his baby brother but it only lasted a minute or so before he was all done. Conner is still keeping his distance.

2 1/2 weeks old...

The little man is 2 1/2 weeks old now...hard to believe that he has been with us that long. He has gotten so much bigger too. Before we know it he will be as big as Conner :(

1st real bath...

He's not a fan...

Some pictures!!

Little man!!!
The best pose I could get of Neal...I tell ya these boys are so difficult when it comes to pictures :)
Conner in Ethans bouncer!!!
Eyes wide open!!!
Umm...I think I have something stuck in my gumms!!!

Ugghhhh...

I hate to diet...I want to go and run!!!!

Great news for us!!!

Yay....we think we sold the house. Well we have the contract earnest money and pre approval letter from the lender but we are still worried something might go wrong. It has before for us :P Things look really good right now and we hope to close on the 24th.
We also found a place to live and boy was that a decision to make....at first we were not having any luck. Tuesday night we went up to Delafield again and looked at a bunch of places, most of of which we did not like but we came across a few by accident that were very intriguing. We are settling for a cheaper place though since it is temporary and we can't justify spending so much on an apartment. It's still quite nice though 3 bedrooms 2 baths vaulted ceilings 2 car garage attached. It is on the 2nd floor though with very steep stairs, workout though hauling two kids up and down and groceries....eeekkk. Another bonus it's about a 2 minute drive from a huge outlet mall...dangerous...haha.

The boys are doing well. Conner has been a super good kid lately and little Ethan is just so sweet. Getting so much bigger already. He did get his baby acne in....poor little man. Much worst than Conner ever did....it almost looks painful. He's filling in so nicely, such a good little eater. He is having the same problem Conner did though. If I let him eat too much he will just throw everything up. So I have to be really careful not to let him over eat at one time just feed a little more often. I know I have to post some pictures but we have just been so busy going all over the place and now I really have to start packing. We want to be moved next week since Neal goes back to work on the 13th. SO that are our going ons these days. Can;t wait for things to settle down again.
