Micah's John Deere Birthday

Last week was CRAZY! Uncle Shane and Aunt Alisha got married in Nauvoo, which meant a road trip there and back (thank goodness for portable DVD players and Dora!). Michael wasn't able to be there because his grandma past way a few days before, so he headed out to Utah, but got back in time for the reception and Micah's party! Wedding pics to come... and I know there are some amazing ones of my kids! Who cares about the bride and groom, right? Just kidding Shu Shu and A Yi (I hope I got that right Shane)!!

Micah had a blast at this party. Here are a few pics...

Egg-tra Easter Pictures!

Hoppy Easter!

I can hardly believe that it is already Easter...

We expected to be home in Arkansas with daddy for Easter, but the NICU asked me to work another week, so instead we spent Easter with GG and Grandpa D! Madi tried her Easter treat (a baby biscuit) a day early... she liked it until it started breaking into pieces. You can see in the pictures how she felt about it then.

Grace and Austin White hid Easter eggs for Micah. He was so cute once he got the hang of finding them... When we were all done, he asked "Again?" But he quickly lost interest as soon as he figured out there was candy inside the eggs.

Micah got two Easter baskets this year (GG won one at work), and he had a great time opening all his treasures! When he was finished, he started showing Grandpa D all his stuff... Grandpa D was soon lost in Easter goodies, and had a little childhood flashback. Can you see the enthusiasm and excitement in his face? He started chanting "I've got a golden rabbit (golden ticket)!" Oh, Grandpa D!!

You're Invited...

Micah is turning 2!

Come celebrate with him...

Happy St. Patricks Day!

It's Terrible being Two (or nearly two)

Because most of you know all about Micah's recent bumps, bruises and breaks, I was hesitant to post this picture!


This photo actually does a great job of hiding an awesome black eye and bruise across his noise, which are the result of two injuries that just so happened to occur within 45 minutes of each other. Micah is way into helping with tools, but got a little over excited with the hammer and nailed his eye while helping daddy on the truck. Then a little while later (while waving goodbye to daddy), face planted into the window sill (don't worry, he caught himself with the bridge of his nose). What I kept giggling about was that every once in a while for the rest of the day he would grab is head and say "ouch". Not once with two scull fractures did he even act like his head might be hurting, but it sure did yesterday! I just have to keep telling myself... "He will survive!" (We are crossing our fingers and praying!!)

Get Off My Back Uncle Shane!!

Uncle Shane has been impatiently requesting an update, so here it is. Just a few pics (mostly of Micah in our unexpected 8 inches of snow last month). It's finally warming up, so Micah has been spending most of his days outside! More pics to come...
