Oh Zander!

Zander is into EVERYTHING! Good thing he is so stinkin' cute. Here is his latest ordeal.



I will play monster with Zander and do this with my hands. He picked it up. So cute!

Baby Ali

So I have received a lot of requests to put more pictures of this angel baby up on my blog. Ali is a good little baby. She doesn't cry very much, mostly when she is tired or has a dirty diaper (this little girl does not like having a dirty diaper). It seems like she is changing so much already. She is just over a week old now and I was able to come home early (on Sunday) which was so nice. I can't stand it in the hospital, I get absolutely no sleep (in the uncomfortable bed and with nurses coming in every few hours to take vitals or give medications or check on the baby). Home is heaven! Even with 3 loud boys running around all day. :)
Here she is.



Did I already mention that Zackery loves holding her and wants to take care of her all day long, well he does. He even tells me, "Mommy, you take care of Zander and I will take care of Ali, Okay?"


We also stopped by my grandpa's house. Here he is with Great-grand-baby number 22!

Fun with Grandpa A

Jeff's dad is here for the week while Jeff has the week off so they can play and entertain the boys and I get to bond with Ali.

They have spent time at the Harbor when they picked up grandpa and have gone to the park numerous times.


These boys love grandpa, so does this little girl!

Oh the fun you can have with a cardboard box, I mean a train!


The boys had so much fun at the park with their remote control cars. They even had some fun racing (see video).




I love this little picture of Zander. He is my puppy dog!

Visitors

The boys were so excited to come and see Baby Ali. It was so cute before I left to go to the hospital Zackery said, "Mommy, I miss you already!" I guess the whole day he had been telling grandma how much he missed me.

Zander is interested in what this little thing is. He grabs her toes and says "toe" and says "mae-bee" meaning baby. Zackery loves holding Ali and wants to do it all the time.

Aunt RaNae came to visit with my parents too. Ali was so alert with Aunt RaNae, Ali loves her already.

She Has Arrived!!! Act 2

Here is some more pictures from today. I'll try to post some more later. Fyi, mom and baby are doing great.

She Has Arrived!!!

Alison Hailey Andrew made her debut this morning at 11:29 A.M. weighing 8lbs 12oz. & 20in. long.


Tiff and Alison meeting face to face for the first time.


Tiff and I with our new bundle of joy!

Chuck E. Cheese!

Zackery has been asking to go to Chuck E. Cheese's for about a month now. We kept pushing him off until his Birthday and today we went. We all had such a good time.

This bus ride was the best, all three could go at the same time and it lasted the longest.

Zander loved all the ones he could ride.


This one was a perfect shot with the mouse ears.

We even got a shot with Chuck E. Notice Zander clinging to me for dear life, he gets so shy and scared of new people (or creatures).

Jeff even had some fun!

Zane is already asking to come back for his Birthday.

Zackery is 5!

I can't believe Zackery is 5 today. He is such a good kid. I love seeing him learn new things and ask a million questions because he really wants to learn and understand. I love his little sayings and the things he picks up from me (I got to be careful with what I say).

Over the weekend my sister, Crystal, came down from Arizona with her family and we had a combined Birthday party for Zackery and Chase (my nephew). Crystal made the cake for the party (she does such a good job and the cake was so yummy!)

Zackery got lots of fun toys, clothes and his favorite, money (he even has a purse he tries to carry around everywhere with his money, Jeff doesn't let him). Whenever we are at a store that has toys Zackery says, "Dog-gone-it, I forgot my purse and my money." He got the dog-gone-it from Grandma B and he says it any time he is disappointed. We are so blessed to have Zackery in our family. I love this kid!

Belly shot

Okay I am only 3 days from delivery now. I took this picture last week. I am measuring big like I did with all the boys. I think Ali will be at least 9 lbs. Any guesses?

My new obsession

I have a new obsession. Coupons! There is an awesome site Freebies 2 Deals that got me started on this. Here is one of my recent purchases. I got all this for $1! Another happy deal was 3 jumbo packs of huggies diapers for $1 a pack. Ya, I am that good! Jeff is much happier with this obsession (my old obsession was shopping at Kohls).
