Easter

We got back from Canada on Thursday and the next day was Good Friday so all of a sudden it was Easter weekend. We took the boys to our church's annual community easter egg hunt which was fun but very cold. On Easter Brian's mom went to church with us and then we all went over to my parents house.

Canada Trip

Note-If I didn't have so many troubles posting pictures on this blog I would post more often but yet again I am really behind. So I am going to attempt another post hopefully without any trouble.


Lara and I were fortunate enough to be able to take a trip to Canada together to visit Lynnette and Dave. It was a lot of fun and a great adventure, especially the two of us driving through Canada. We drove 6 hours to Toronto and met up with Dave's brother Chuck and he drove us to the airport where we flew from Toronto to Moncton. We were able to stay for five days which was really nice. Besides most of us being sick and in some pain during the trip it was a really great time. We got to attend their church services on Sunday which were great even after just a few hours of sleep after flying in late and we attend various church activities as well while we were there. Here are some pictures to share with you:

Misc Pictures so far from 2007

I got a new digital camera in January and have just now found out how to get my pictures from there posted on to my blog (thanks to Valerie). So I have quite a few misc pictures to share with you! Also, Peyton started walking this week and of course the battery on my camera died so I will try to some pictures of him walking as soon as I get my new battery!

Peyton's First Birthday

Well, believe it or not Peyton is a year old already! That went by so fast, and yet sometimes it feels like he's been with us forever. He weighs 24 pounds and is in the 75 percentile in weight and the 25th in height. He is in the 95th percentile in head circumference, that is why none of his shirts want to go over his head! He is not walking quite yet but I really think it could be any day now. He finally got his first teeth in January and he is cutting his top ones right now. He is doing better eating regular foods now that he can chew.

We had a party for him on Saturday, Feb 10th and had a good turnout of family members at our house. The theme was Baby Einstein and we decorated our basement accordingly. Lara came home for the party and she gave him a Peyton Manning jersey since she always calls him that it was very fitting. And he looks very much like a football player anyways so this just fits him well.

Here are some pictures from that day!
