Lots of Bebe Time

Spent the last 3 out of 4 weekends with bebes and of course their mommies and daddies .... lots of driving but now that I have had a weekend to rest up I am ready to go again!

Weekend #1 - drove to Burley to celebrate Emma's first birthday. It was Memorial Day weekend so made it a 4 day weekend. A very long drive but so worth it!! In spite of Emma's teething and ear infection creating some late night, middle of the night, wee hours of the morning turmoil and tears, Emma is such a sweetie, full of grins and a hint of mischief. Read her favorite book, Dr. Seuss's ABC book enough that I have a few letters memorized, (e.g. Q q Q - the quick queen of quincy and her quacking quackeroo). She snuggles in and waits for you to read every word.

Weekend #2 - relatively quick drive to Portland for Tabors's 2nd birthday. Lots of snuggles with Archie - just starting to really take in your face and smile. Lots of rocking and cuddling. Tabor of course is very busy, wants everyone to come play with him. Sometimes that means just laughing with him as he tumbles and laughs or seriously laying out train tracks and driving cars. Very much into the birthday thing - he had everyone sing 'Happy Birthday to Tabor' a second time while he stood quite proud of himself. So much fun to watch him open his present from us - one hand on the first sandbox truck while he literally was salivating and trying to open the corresponding loader. Pretty big toys to take to bed with him but that is exactly what he did.

Weekend #4 (#3 was rest up and get ready for Parma) drove to Parma convention. Best of both worlds - a very good convention and time with the Idaho Wilsons again. Shauna's parents (Dave and Sandra) brought their trailer which made convention life with a 1 year a bit easier (not easy but easier). Didn't have the camera out much but did manage to get a few dressy shots on Sunday!

so many bebes!!

Playing catch up with the posting!! I spend so much time on the computer at work that the last thing I want to do is get on the computer at night but this is long over due.
Just a few pictures and then some links to the rest....

Early March I HAD to go to Portland for work.... fortunately for the hospital I have this great place to stay and fortunately Tabor is glad to see "damma yeeeesa" when she comes!
Not sure if Tabor is impressed with his aviatrix hat!! He was happy to be outside of course.

Next best thing to being outside is driving his trucks on the couch... "move" he says with a wave of his hand if you dare to sit on the couch!! Lucky to get him to even look at me - he is usually so intent when he is driving his rigs.

So sweet with his chickies - this chickie is being held out for a kiss before being tucked in to bed.

From Portland I was able to go to Idaho to help Kevin with 'little' Emma while Shauna was in Texas for Pampered Chef... that was a blast! I need to figure out how to post video as I have some clips of her crazy antics - head wobbles and arm swings and jabberings... I think she hears music or maybe she has bug in her ear? She is a goofy girl!

Don't be fooled, Emma doesn't like her aviatrix hat any better than Tabor - it gets pulled off shortly after it gets put on....

Turns out she had two teeth popping thru while I was there.... hence all the drool but she wasn't fussy.

No longer camera shy!

Ended March with the arrival of Archie Breck Wilson - all whopping 8 pounds of him! Another sweetie if gramasan says so herself. Pretty even tempered unless he wants to nurse -which he is already very proficient at, or if you undress him for a diaper change.

Glad to be 'reunited' with his mommy and daddy.

Tabor's first real good look at his little brother.

Almost 24 hours old!
