What's new?

Troy and Dakota outside on a really nice day.

Dakota's first time to eat from a spoon. That is a look of joy on his face.



Hey guys, sorry that my videos didn't work. Computers can be so frustrating some times. Anyway, I am almost done with school this semester!!! School is really stressing me out right now so I am ready for a nice long break.

Collette recently took swim lessons at the Y. She loved every minute of them, she is such a water baby. Lately she has been really into singing so at church on Sunday I had a hard time stopping her. The hard thing is that it is great that she is singing, but how do i stop her while we are in the middle of a prayer? It is so sweet and innocent. When I did ask her to stop she looked at me and said "I'm singing my concert right now." How do you stop that? ha


Dakota is continuing to grow so quickly. He is over 16lbs, chunkey monkey. We decided to make our own baby food this time. It's really quite simple. He has had bananas, carrots, and rice cereal. He seemd to like them pretty well.


Troy's job is continuing to go well. He is really liking working for himself and being very flexible in his schedule. I think that it has made such a difference with how Collette acts, too. She is such a Daddy's girl, she had a really hard time when he went back to an office job. She really started to act out and started potty training issues. Now she is doing much better.

We have had a great week. It has been spring break for me, so we tried to take advantage as much as we could. Monday we took the kids to this place called "Nothin but Fun for Kids". It's a pretty neat place. The kids really enjoyed playing dress up in the dressing room. There were all kinds of princess dresses and accessories to go with them. This is wondeful for Collette since she has been calling herself Princess Coco. Anyway, you get an all day pass to this indoor play place and the kids had a bawl.
Today we went to the Zoo to see all of the animals. We got to see alot of the animals, it seems as though they really like this spring weather. The kids enjoyed it too. They had fun pointing out all of the different animals. They all wanted to go and see the giraffes, but they are on the back of the property at our Zoo and us parents really didn't feel like hiking all of the way there and all of the way back. So we will have to venture out there next time.
Troy is still working hard at doing contract work. He is really enjoying all the different kinds of work that is available to him. It's nice for me to see him so happy and enjoying his work. It is also nice having him at home again. I can tell that it is making a big difference with Collette. She is such a Daddy's girl.
Dakota on the other hand is my sweet boy. He enjoys cuddling with me and just being held. It's bad though when we need to go on car trips because He hates his seat. He is getting so big. He likes to play with hanging toys. It looks like he is hitting a punch bag, it's really funny. I'll have to get video of it some time soon. He also loves to coo and laugh at us. It is so sweet. Well, that's about it for now. I will post more pics soon.

Here are some cute videos of the kiddos. Collette is singing 5 little monkeys. It is this really weird song that she learned at school. Dakota is "singing" good night sweetheart to Collette. We love our cute kiddos.
