Family Update

Sorry it's been so long since our last post we have been busy trying to spring clean, getting stuff ready for our block sale, softball practice and trying to fit time in just hanging out with the kids! During Rileigh's spring break I thought I should do something fun with the kids since we stayed home this year, we did manage to get to a movie and one night we went to the Holland Aquatic Center to swim. It felt good to be in 80 degree temps and playing in the water with the kids ( can't say it was fun putting on a bathing suit 2 months after having your 3rd kid but that is another story.)

Tyler continues to grow! He is now starting to "coo" at us and he smiles all the time! We just took him of the zantec b/c we did not feel it was doing anything for him and the doctor now put him on Previcid, it 's only been a few days but I still can't see any change. Tyler also has mastered the art of rolling from his tummy to his back! the problem with this is that he sleeps on his tummy and then in the middle of the night he rolls and can't get back over he get really upset. Yes, I know my child is sleeping on his tummy a big no no! I kinda am regretting it in a way b/c he will not sleep in his car seat so that makes going anywhere with him a big pain, but thankfully we inherited a Baby Bjorn. What a life saver!

Annika is just loving life now that she can get outside and play! If you do see her she will be wearing 1 of 2 High School Musical shirts! The kid loves her HSM shirts and wants to wear them everyday! Annika everyday asks us if today she can go to church! She can't wait to go there everyweek! Maybe we all need a little more of her attitude! !

Rileigh is also allot more manageable (if you could say that) now that she can be outside all day riding her bike and playing with friends! She is still loving school, she was counting down the day till she could go back ( as was I!) Rileigh has also started softball and this year Derick is her coach so she is excited about that!

Derick and I also are loving life! Tonight we were supposed to go to Def Leopard, but as most of you know the lead singer is sick so they had to reschdule, my mother in law said that she would still take the kids tonight so Derick and I are going to go out for the second time this week!!! Tuesday night my dad and Mary had a babysitting night so we were also able to go out then!! Let me tell you it felt so good to get out with no kids in tow and have a conversation together!!
