Easter Pictures (I know I am behind...)

All of my recent posts have had so many pictures because I wait to long in between to post anything. My goal is two posts per week! Hold me to it!!! These are all from Easter. Our Easter weekend was pretty busy because we visited Brookston on Friday and Saturday and then got home late Saturday night. So, we did our Easter baskets after church on Sunday. This year in talking to Drew about what Easter is all about we basically told him that Jesus did something very special for us so we could be with him forever. He totally doesn't get it yet, but we pray that as he grows God will give us the right words to teach him!

For now...picture time!

Drew's Easter bucket "hidden".

Finding the goods.

Mickey Mouse bubble machine, Madagascar 2, M & M's, and a Reece's peanut butter cup.

Now where every Easter bucket belongs...haha!

Blake finds his Easter bucket!

A rattle and a buzzing lion that goes on his carseat.

Yummy!

Mommy and her boys

Drew is a little blurry, but it's hard to get a good picture of a two and a 5 month old!

Drew waiting for Mommy to go hunt Easter eggs.

And he's off...

Hunting eggs was probably his favorite part of Easter.

Trip to Wisconsin!!

After having been gone 8 months, we finally made it back up to Wisconsin to visit friends. For most of them it was the first time they were able to meet Blake!! So, other than the fact that we were all a little under the weather, it was a blast!

We were able to go to XStream and the Edge where Kyle got to wear some excellent food on his head. We were also able to visit with lots of students and volunteers. Thursday I went to the Y and was able to see lots of the ladies I used to work with and then I got to enjoy lunch with a good friend. Kyle was able to do lunch with his old planning team. Thursday evening we spent with the Dillon family and you will see pictures below. Friday I was able to do lunch and party prep with my good friends Kari and Laurie. They boys came in the afternoon and then Friday evening we had a get together at the Belmers with lots of friends. It was a blast! Saturday we were able to hang out and chill with Kari and Don and then Saturday evening my WI babysitters were able to come watch the boys so Kyle and I could have dinner at La Estacion with friends. Yummy yummy food!!! Sunday was church day and then time to leave. It was very sad to leave our friends, but were are super excited for some visits this summer!!

I didn't take near enough pictures, but here are some that I did get. Bo is an awesome hockey player and the reason our family likes hockey so much is because of the Belmer family....so this was very special to us!

Drew and Bo playing hockey.

More hockey!

We were also able to spend the afternoon and evening with the family that I used to nanny for! They have grown up so much, but the evening was a blast! The kids had fun playing together and Reilly was my little Blake helper all night, so I was able to visit with Jen and Kevin as well!

Haley playing with Blake.

Reilly and Blake.

Kyle and Mitch were playing the Wii and Drew wanted to join in, so he just grabbed the TV remote! Haley (and everyone else) thought this was hilarious!

Me and Haley (hard to believe they are 3 1/2!!)

Me and Emma

All the kids (surprise, surprise, my kids aren't cooperating)

All the girls and Blaker!!

I tried all night to get a picture of me and Mitchell, but he just wouldn't sit still long enough. But I did get another great memory! We were upstairs after playing hide and seek for 45 minutes and he was showing me his room. He then asked me if he could read me a book and I said, "of course." Through my tears I watched as this little boy, who I have watched grow up, read me a story about a dog named Biscuit. Makes me wonder what will happen when my own boys read to me for the first time. Mitchy and I have a special bond. He is the reason that this family means so much to me!!

A month goes by way to fast...

So, it's been a month since I have posted, I cannot believe it!! So, here is a post with LOTS of pictures and I will follow up with a post from our Wisconsin Trip and from Easter in the next couple of days! It is quite the hodge podge of pictures...but will describe as I go! Haha!

Just a sweet one of Daddy and the boys watching some cartoons!

Drew playing in Blake's excersaucer...weird I know! But a little funny too! He's so big!
This is Drew when he actually fit into the excersaucer.

The boy's Uncle Cody had his 9th birthday at Chuck E. Cheese. Drew had a blast until the "real" Chuck E. came out!

Drew on stage.

Drew riding on the clock.

Daddy and Drew playing a game and winning some tickets.

Bompa took Blake on a horsey ride.

My mom invited us to town for their church's Easter Egg Hunt...it was a lot of fun!

Mamaw, Blaker bears, and Grandma

Mommy and Drew decorating his bag while Drew eats one of Mamaw's sugar cookies.

Finding eggs in the jungle room. I used this picture because he looks like such a big boy! Such a big difference from the little baby in the excersaucer!

Finding treasures in all the eggs!! This paper was a prize to pick out something from the treasure chest.

Blake has enjoyed eating rice cereal and as of last week has started on baby food as well! These are the pictures from the night he had carrots! He loves the carrots and sweet potatoes, but can't decide if he likes squash or not!

Cereal and Hockey

There are lots of exciting things happening at our house...Blake started cereal this week! It's been a very exciting experience and he has done great! We usually do it in the morning for breakfast and he usually makes a big mess!! Haha!

We also went to a Fort Wayne Komets game last weekend. They are a semi-pro hockey team here in town. Drew LOVED it and won't stop playing hockey now!! It's very cute!! Drew has also gotten to play outside a lot this week and he wants to go out all the time. The three of us took a walk one afternoon also. It was so nice to get outside and enjoy the weather....hurry up spring!

The first bite...

Yummy cereal....and no he's not asleep..haha!

After a few bites!

Hockey time...

Face off...

Blake watching all the action.

March at the Turner House!

So, we have been busy with lots of things lately. I (Amy) just started coaching elementary volleyball at the Y and it has been so great to get back into the game! I am also glad to get back into the Y...we have a really nice one here and I am hoping to get more involved in it. The boys are doing really well. We had a well baby check for Blake and the doctor says that he looks great! He weighs in at 16 lbs. 4 oz.!!! Here is a little of whats been going on at our house...

Drew is helping Daddy in the yard...it's actually warm out again!

Uncle John and Aunt Chel came for a visit...we had a blast!

One day while playing in his room, Drew managed to totally tear it apart and flip his mattress off his bed!

Here are the boys gearing up for March Madness!! Boiler Up!!!!

Here is my baby for his 3 month pictures!

Sleepy kiddos, potty, and pirates

This was Saturday afternoon at our house. Now you must know that Blake never sleeps longer than 20 minutes during the daytime unless someone is holding him....but as he was playing...he started closing his eyes and then fell asleep. It was so sweet....but of course, he only slept 20 minutes! Any brilliant ideas to get this kid to nap in his bed better?? He sleeps in there at night fine...silly boy!

Drew fell asleep inthe car on the way home from the grocery store.

This is Drew playing pirates at Grandma and Grandpa's house.

And maybe this is a clue to begin potty training. I was in the bathroom getting ready and he put his potty seat on the potty, pulled his pants down, then proceeded to climb. Not really sure why, but funny!!!

Also, please feel free to comment and you don't have to have a blogger account to do so! It helps me know that people are actually reading this thing! Haha! Thanks!!

More Pictures

We have been pretty busy at the Turner house lately...the boys are getting over having some yucky colds and Drew had a double ear infection! Thank goodness that is over with for now! Here are some pictures from this month!

Big boy Blakers!

15 Weeks Old!

Drew got to play outside yesterday for the first time in a LONG time. He had a blast and was super dirty, but it was good for the both of us!

Relaxing watching a little Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.

Blake and his buddha belly!

This was when Drew was sick. He started out on the couch and then sorta fell off, but kept sleeping away!

The brothers hanging out.

Blake loves the bumbo! I need to get the tray that goes with it so he has some toys to play with!

Playing in the tub.

When Drew's grandpa came to visit he refered to our shower as a playroom...I wonder why?

More Blaker bathtime!
