Mackenzie 3 1/2, Jackson-2, Cole 2 months

I can't seem to flip this picture, but I think it's so cute of the three of them!

Mackie's such a huge help to me! She's the best little girl in the whole world! She's really grown up in the last month!

Our little Cole is getting so big! I just can't describe how much I love this little guy. He's an absolute blessing. He's just the best little baby to be around and so happy. He really responds to our voices!

Since Mackie's in school twice a week, Jackson and I really get some one on one time (yes, Cole is there, and just watches). I think it's so great for us! Jackson's always gone to Tim more than me, and I've really enjoyed our time together in the last few weeks. Let me tell you, we really pack in the activities while Mack's gone, just don't tell her that :)

Cole was taking a nap the other day, woke up and noticed Tim and me! I'd say he's doing a great job of holding his head up!

Our Mackie's in Preschool!

Here's Mack on the rug, where she sits when she gets to class!

Cole and Jackson while their sis is at school. Jackson really hams it up, huh?

Mackie after she found her bag hook before going in.

Here's Mack before going, we all helped her make her little tote that she had to have for school!

Mackie had her first day of Preschool on Tuesday and let me tell you, she was EXCITED! She was beside herself and did fantastic! She yelled, "BYE" as I was leaving and that was that! People asked if I cried, no way, she was so excited and I am just as excited for her. Now, when she goes every day, it may be a different story! Her first week was a success and she is so excited about all her new friends! Jackson, Cole are enjoying a little Mommy time to themself too!

Cole's Baptism

Jackson was lured with a little gum and finally stopped throwing a fit, so we actually got a picture with him. He loved walking back and forth during the actually baptism which was slightly stressful!

Cole's Godparents, Aunt Colleen (my brother's wife) and Uncle Remo (my sister's husband)

Cole was the best baby ever during the service, but once awoken got a little hungrey!

Jackson was currently throwing a fit, so he didn't make the picture.

We had about 30 people come over afterwards to celebrate the day with him. Tim and I couldn't be more thankful and blessed to have three healthy happy kids and we couldn't be prouder of them. It does amaze me on how unbelieveable babies are on their baptism. God watches over them and shows us he's hear with us!

Jackson's 2 years old

Jackson has entered the terrible twos!! Let me tell you, he has proven that statement correct in the last few days! We do have so much fun with him, but he likes to challenge us! We started Sunday morning by going Blueberry picking since blueberries are Jack's favorite. It was a blast, but we ended up getting rained on at the end. Tim and Jack stuck it out, while Mack, Cole and I waited in the car. We went up to Tim's parents afterwards for a hope of a lake day, and although it was cold, the kids still managed to go swimming! Monday was his actual birthday and we have started a family tradition of going to Red Robin to celebrate birthday's. They sang to him and gave him an ice cream sundae as well as a balloon, so he was loving it, or maybe it was all the sugar from the chocolate milk he was loving! Then to end the 3 day birthday extravaganza, we went to my parents to celebrate Jackson's birthday and my dad's (they're only a day apart)! He loved playing with all his cousins, but we are all exhausted from a busy 3 days! Thanks to everyone for all the generous gifts, our kids are blessed with so many friends and family!

On to Cole's baptism on Sunday! We're looking forward to celebrating a day for Cole! He's such a blessing and such a good baby. So, to Jack, Happy Birthday to my big big boy!!

Cole smiles!

Cole's been smiling for a little over a week now, but my mom was able to capture it Up North this weekend. We had a fabulous weekend with lots of beach time and just great weather.

kiddos

Cole is now 6 weeks and doing great! He's eating great and just a happy happy baby! We are certainly blessed to have such a wonderful baby! He sleeps like a typical 6 week old, but otherwise, he's just great! The bottom picture is on top of Monique's bed. Mackie talks about Monique's HIGH bed all the time. Emilia, Mack, and Jack all posed for me.

Remo's ride

Remo and Jen just got rid of their Fiat, so the kids all hoped in and I somehow got all of them to look! What a sad day for Uncle Remo :(
