Last November we had family pictures taken, and it is incredible to see the differences between last year and this year. Our family is growing so fast, and we are loving and enjoying ever minute. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">We found out at the end of last year that we are expecting a precious baby boy. We have decided to name him Beckham Prescott Blue, and he is scheduled to join us April 12, 2012. I am really excited to have a routine c-section this go around after Koen's tramatic birth. Everything is going perfectly this pregnany, and we continue to pray for a smooth pregnancy and a happy and healthy baby.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div>Koen is going to be 2 this year and he is starting to talk, run, and his favorite thing is sports. He loves being outside with his basketball, football, and baseball, and he loves playing on the playground. He is a constant source of entertainment with his amazing dance moves and fun personality, we think he is pretty fantastic! He is going to be a wonderful big brother.Little Blue Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05942829306300987139noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-632895420189026468.post-80955251657072051032011-10-26T13:06:00.000-07:002011-10-26T13:06:10.441-07:00Fall in Texas<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpxpRM2Hb6AuZdrmkGQZtrkZNQ3faLeNK_jN3cgYMg5xEUFo8956PrVAauuAD7kmisbjPxP2eI88pqMSMc_PtOGSF3WSi6FoJcTS7hfMbnllSCbJIkHsBeTxzeVg31F2LdlvHQznrOqjFT/s1600/DSC_6118+-+Copy.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" ida="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpxpRM2Hb6AuZdrmkGQZtrkZNQ3faLeNK_jN3cgYMg5xEUFo8956PrVAauuAD7kmisbjPxP2eI88pqMSMc_PtOGSF3WSi6FoJcTS7hfMbnllSCbJIkHsBeTxzeVg31F2LdlvHQznrOqjFT/s320/DSC_6118+-+Copy.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYeWD0smK4CV11RoIi5hkS7eRerIDHEcB4Q3EyhpHlhF39XOXfWjYqb6SvsoDwI1ftJryWvOInLTwGId0N7wmiZKXuLKG9v2Ccb55a4CQ1l2oRtJyMmWFWO1rwD_JUkKo6nLyCH7Rkt8bS/s1600/DSC_6144.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" ida="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYeWD0smK4CV11RoIi5hkS7eRerIDHEcB4Q3EyhpHlhF39XOXfWjYqb6SvsoDwI1ftJryWvOInLTwGId0N7wmiZKXuLKG9v2Ccb55a4CQ1l2oRtJyMmWFWO1rwD_JUkKo6nLyCH7Rkt8bS/s320/DSC_6144.JPG" width="212" /></a></div><br />

We have taken full advantage of it and try to be outside as much as possible. Koen is at a really fun age where he is starting to enjoy things more and we can get out and do things togethers. Here are some pictures from a little photoshoot downtown Roanoke and the pumpkin patch. We are excited to carve pumpkins with him this weekend.

(Ok, he actually turned one almost a month ago I am just really late with posting it on my blog. Better late then never!) I can't believe how fast he has grown up. The other day I was going through his baby pictures and couldn't believe he was that little. I almost forget that we have gone through the baby stage. He is now a very active little boy who is in to EVERYTHING and definately has his own personality.<br /><br />To start Koen's birthday we decided to do his first haircut. I had been complaining for a while that my little boy was starting to look like a little girl, but everytime I said I wanted to do it I experienced cold feet. We decided we would commit on his first birthday. Here is a before picture...<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9nqGjR6L2QeLBtpKOzEAs6uC9jc8SXrJWLCULwjX_J2B9mmBuitJxPWS5zTso4HPOqNgUfVNIUjimVeWEQl04JGLiKtcOKQ787G2Z9YQuXUpnBBl2J951Hpr_5YpN0v4at7N3WG8ebLp_/s1600/20110616_1.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 266px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5626315543449458098" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9nqGjR6L2QeLBtpKOzEAs6uC9jc8SXrJWLCULwjX_J2B9mmBuitJxPWS5zTso4HPOqNgUfVNIUjimVeWEQl04JGLiKtcOKQ787G2Z9YQuXUpnBBl2J951Hpr_5YpN0v4at7N3WG8ebLp_/s400/20110616_1.JPG" /></a> After...<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkfMDOHXAxfnVReiDQndsn0XB7P-ZVu_kspE36C9m8EcZNlOhBH1yc63bv1pMXuJC4Y-YWyy4C56q2N6-ewgK6JwWqTtcbViDBFJAv_34NnojUHLRS8wikpJeBhrYmOb7yQ1fUMSA_u3MW/s1600/20110616_20.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 266px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5626315466481084210" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkfMDOHXAxfnVReiDQndsn0XB7P-ZVu_kspE36C9m8EcZNlOhBH1yc63bv1pMXuJC4Y-YWyy4C56q2N6-ewgK6JwWqTtcbViDBFJAv_34NnojUHLRS8wikpJeBhrYmOb7yQ1fUMSA_u3MW/s400/20110616_20.JPG" /></a> He did really well through the haircut until the end and he decided then he was done. He is precious with either hairstyle, but I love boys with short hair. Then, we opened presents. He loved each present very much, and often we had to remind him there were more to open because he was content playing with the already opened one.<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgp6pFCkSRvc5-1N9uW3MubkVKmMu_YjXH0aUqh60Eo4MW2SGZFXnG7zNlXwdz4pY4TOXaPcXc4UlBY20DInkShpFQRAupre1_etMOm1gI4vYUeFOsbI9rwUqUu-wYQ2ytAnfWIC_ZiH0Yh/s1600/20110616_50.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 266px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5626315393729484082" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgp6pFCkSRvc5-1N9uW3MubkVKmMu_YjXH0aUqh60Eo4MW2SGZFXnG7zNlXwdz4pY4TOXaPcXc4UlBY20DInkShpFQRAupre1_etMOm1gI4vYUeFOsbI9rwUqUu-wYQ2ytAnfWIC_ZiH0Yh/s400/20110616_50.JPG" /></a> Next, cake!

This last week was a little rough with family sickness, but once the weekend hit we were ready to get out of the house and have some fun. We went for drives, out to eat, hung out with Buca, and went swimming. Koen is a little fish! He loves the water and this was his first time this year to get fully in the pool. We found some cute swim trunks and we were ready to go! He has a wonderful floaty that gives him the independence he craves, and he was spashing and kicking all over the pool. The water was a little cold, we braved it for as long as we could, but then we heated the hot tub up a little and finished in the warm water. It was a wonderful weekend, and the start of a summer filled with swimming!<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 213px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5609707649543895810" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaVH1RZpUQ5BPKRYDvUxm3_Bu6_d_nVe3ewBJJlWxKUlicCYoAUDcveUsTCX7rrLpDIo8-dr-N3suylltEeU7ghglYrR2QapFID_28ZNLjq9n7qPYphKpTmxKBBeCMpQWnFMqpdnexDP0_/s320/15+Retouch.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 213px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5609707442325485266" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7wuzV7ZesxJuq2LjIVA3MuBPg2lCT_FeNrrUkgmtMo87j-jFqyVKwUxk3HNMmJkI4uCXwlXcWYdFKgtAjIspBxRKFP4_5Dgyuwlmrwyq_vZH7fVNBhow4yLCWb9EBmtc7-i9oflW54Ntm/s320/26+Retouch.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 213px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5609707315304428034" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHkXL6L4uBEp3dCRlIad7LsUPfhzmmJ6R8SMsNxOPpFbxPcsCMqGNrSyYtwFCwbJaBjG9gXQt472s-HyqBO27xm5Vp5KytSqoQRuV8QX2lVZ5U_V2FVshsXkHO4VT8_oQUzT6G1CKCS5W-/s320/13+Retouch.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 213px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5609707126869952802" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLEMWEGTH8jCHcVdMAz4H2ZIF9gSjezbVzffAfEP2ALowfdHsPotmKZbpMmpW-Iz5qSg-72GqpL5r-WPbZ0hjMfDYXvOqFi6gfYBEWhyphenhyphenOMlv-8TBfoFQ0hnlA7EO0Igppk8xRK_8r2Zgmz/s320/96+Retouch.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 213px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5609706955006680706" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjK6qGHan0M5Zw9S6HWsrzZcC_n00uC3iu2DuhIJjwVnud9QFk5R8ggvUMxOBJstln2ahV1XXM2YlzKSg7Yc90J3GjazBm2Laz2cnj21-uLQaC9T_ohA5BAuORkbjUkmV60A2Pw_Bv9hwEg/s320/71+Retouch.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 213px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5609706680970172626" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKG21bel6w_EEbMazxYelazpNUh-82Nh21FodOpVoLRw5xP6b1DvLN_Z4EhaVh1YHad2UNLSlxjup5tyP5kZ5Uz0FDWqUKcPiv2RlQmGLcNaAYpXSsZGv9REorf6rbyKeVlNKn5v46mRy3/s320/64+Retouch.jpg" /><br />I love that little angel!Little Blue Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05942829306300987139noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-632895420189026468.post-78135619606274122982011-05-10T19:50:00.000-07:002011-05-10T20:07:25.710-07:00First Mother's DayMother's Day was wonderful this year, I absolutely love being a mother to my precious Koen. This was my first year as a mother on Mother's Day. The weather was beautiful so we decided to go out and lounge by the pool. Koen was kicking and splashing with his legs over the side so we decided to strip him down to his onesie (w/ a little swimmer) and let him set in the water. He loved it, I have a feeling we will be spending a lot of time in the pool this summer.<br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 247px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5605286837942558466" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEit81-HEADqwUY8s3YIHKXfmIZ3jUJxG9UOP5pftw-uhWlNDuTVEjxJWA_8-IbhriEhKOtmxDdCVxQBqGFzXtx9Xnr_p0_uTcSWp8-wbMU9QGQ8Z9cFwe6kpewqQI3ogrHAQ-bWhsGZiN8e/s320/Cropped.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 212px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5605286752081956818" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7p8oqTK9Jx4GloJnKdKa-wT9uLjM31oKkIsVQ1GXcdjcslPBbG8uzex0S9iSm5Uc783qjSo3vFctDRWbZBPTLCoUSWL30MC1yI4RLegm6ochgdirISKbp1MSVip-ebhQCGqiw6ex7uZqe/s320/Retouch+8.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 212px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5605286639103973874" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhir1BjIDr8ONBpiP7ygqoWkwZejQBvOMKlvv5wUxSrfjiKxUMYJ2KIRGp3U1HucyAfM4giuX7iopEEDaqlPJzY0aBQwhB8ayFd3Ay4Nfnx_0ABKKFokBUmMMqDhem2MFSJ8KzqaVlMH-Iw/s320/Retouch+9.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 212px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5605287991583425010" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgq2B5dGn1Jr6Y5D54aFcFMUyn7O92qS-XKdM0A8DTzG-mQWImK6iF7074o0NR_eunzVNjGUw7INFmQlnLIYFtjCQErUIVHhVsuqbvcbBaQLlRTOy1Q9O2v3wYpbXgoKkErUpiqqCL1-g2T/s320/Retouch+6.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 212px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5605288614467004626" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHLGg21ttFlp1ZECegqpl6h1GzyaUleKhxhVGV2cVtji5k2XnF2gQ6HQZF7EcIOCC-hEAewamN2rqm1fs5IxaDTYAYNr61da6kp5n8df_z7Qf0xkxLeve7WYJrUxwjO8XwsFgE1zRMGL3K/s320/Retouch+7.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 212px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5605286273052367298" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisn8UtLhDXN3K7tul1QDyEm_AcjH7VK5EmR0-384VghGK2eAY0g6bLcD3bRL8jIUvx_VZpNxFXOiVb07SKhVwQGkCCZd2Z1ei9Uw1fAnQYazMuA29qam085cPv0lBaTGno87GeYdyiz5C8/s320/Retouch+1.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 212px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5605289480280172178" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5vkzDSTfifdCPAhJiJgPyzaL-EY0rZQzs-tnqRRxbgpU1TiRRhIURn90zcH5hG6ow_evYi4pkMeHUdtQ1-QHYhKnX4q7e-9fcd58d8Yk7uMs03EZxYZyjmF4FvvsuLhQTtpjUYMhg-nr0/s320/Retouch+4.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 212px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5605286013122865074" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjrv9_Mu6AMLefBsqG9hKedzfmsMZqfNkZRCGVEPPNmadYabQLKcQ89Q703QbwcXTuNHD_mzY-YeYfh7RwWezLsyo8daqnrlpUGiAPG0eBjsGE4tuk4bCOKi7msWvrABMWdDxE4SY0b0B_/s320/Retouch+3.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 212px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5605285888171441106" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEif-Ou4aMgpLs99QouePAOM6hDwA8cx_OLiHj7fcQxm1Q31Wr9IYC13O70D3c-ubwlsV7ZNisiDY5_KpzNl2bMNoQA0ukVCkhyphenhyphenz1VZFfmkdq5yQzHFPgCfk105PyHb1Tj2UIBFNobX5XQ3Q/s320/Retouch+5.jpg" /> <br /><div>It was a wonderful day, and I am so appreciative for my mother and everything she has done for my and continues to do for me.

When we first sat down he just stared at the field enamored by the lights and noise. Then he realized all of the crazy fans and started people watching. It was tons of fun to watch him take it all in. The Rangers played great and won! <br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitS-bN8asyD92JE0YO4laBoIBbJwexoGA8De2BXyqrdhcsIckqy9hhAjAESXjXZhROreCgOrw_JpDp37Zs6sWiAvrkjKI6DUGW2pagL85xnBV_2FOB85niJr0U-LxiYwgyZ_t0kvd4jmip/s1600/DSC00185.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5592148864797228578" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitS-bN8asyD92JE0YO4laBoIBbJwexoGA8De2BXyqrdhcsIckqy9hhAjAESXjXZhROreCgOrw_JpDp37Zs6sWiAvrkjKI6DUGW2pagL85xnBV_2FOB85niJr0U-LxiYwgyZ_t0kvd4jmip/s320/DSC00185.JPG" /></a> Koen has a ton of hair and it is starting to curl in the back. He is such a blessing and I absolutely love being a mom. I especially love it when he says mamamamama or yells/grunts it MAMAMAMAMA. <br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisNJ0DFEssAjAFvdKnFNgoPIednrqiEYJn4gbOF5yBeolvpafh1Zqh14fCkjF_rQmD5uo57kEuLFV3-CRiUVx0PaLf3Qa6R1_y7ajyg-i5oT-BWYJhriPGGiC6vUs8oArKlGRi_8Q9-_sW/s1600/_Device_Memory_home_user_pictures_IMG00116.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5592148660089903618" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisNJ0DFEssAjAFvdKnFNgoPIednrqiEYJn4gbOF5yBeolvpafh1Zqh14fCkjF_rQmD5uo57kEuLFV3-CRiUVx0PaLf3Qa6R1_y7ajyg-i5oT-BWYJhriPGGiC6vUs8oArKlGRi_8Q9-_sW/s320/_Device_Memory_home_user_pictures_IMG00116.jpg" /></a> I can't believe how big my little guy is getting. I know I always say that, but it is truely how I feel. He loves sports. He has the Little Tikes sports center and shoots baskets, hits EVERYTHING with the bat (including himself, mommy, daddy, and Max), and plays with the football. I am trying to get a video of him shooting baskets because it is so cute and I am so proud of him, but it is harder than I thought it would be. When I turn on the camera he stops.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>When he was first born everyone said he looked like Wes, almost identical. Now, the general consensus is he is more of a mix. What do you think? <br /><div></div></div></div>Little Blue Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05942829306300987139noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-632895420189026468.post-72048809320903926662011-02-21T12:31:00.000-08:002011-02-21T12:53:45.600-08:00Introducing...Ducky! Koen started doing this cute face a couple of months ago that we have named "Ducky." It is hard to capture it in a picture because he always stops when the camera comes out... Luckily I caught him doing it this weekend. My big boy just turned 8 months last week, and is getting so big! He is currently transitioning into 12-18 month clothing, and I think he is almost out of his carseat!<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 191px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5576245863591637506" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFUjQ2-QLQ5cHYZvQkYz7-yXyZ-jJv0l2vA_mcuJ60-qyV38VfoWDMV28sd2ZEHbfIN0neSV07rMgqRDMXUQ73un703zgZl9mUFR7Y-1yPm9aJB1Q7cEtmtggONyWGh4vVh3p1MMQm6UGj/s320/IMAG0062.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 191px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5576247714685325074" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhl7oNU4uiap8MMzt3Raph7ud_3iRLQ0zaaka7JhZFPiGLc2whT0uR4vpiC0FMi04_nrbSE3ayZU0iUyz1TcgWAtgjBHXaFOsUMQFAzM68fvPCg2cYc7HrPIs_FASZLg8S1vXWr6qryYJDS/s320/IMAG0063.jpg" />Isn't he adorable!

We decided that maybe it was time to get him something he can sit up in. We tried the jumper that hangs in the door...he loves it, but I think it is still a little big for him. We tried the exersaucer...he likes it, but we have to pack tons of blankets in to make it work. So, we decided to purchase the Bumbo baby sitter. We had been considering it for a while, and finally my mom gave us the final push by suggesting it. The verdict...We LOVE IT! Koen loves sitting in it and it gets him off of his back. I would definately recommend it, and I look forward to getting the tray that goes with it. <div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5535431632646769026" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhL3t86uoNwq9p8qHEuio3JiqjQdHbJEwlvoIE2rl1MyEFNY09xlMCX6b3lCc-6sQq5rdD7gcVz_jqVLlzq96oS0gPrhnxa-xaxliNgAiQu8QAsI9KZoNHcGcyhYVb8nIv9qnYtsV68QnYX/s320/DSCN1343.JPG" />Max was feeling a little left out...<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 249px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5535431397650698386" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfKEvrT_HURLcY8OU_diF1gTG5EkugZx33TZzFEaCv1it0dWi9QpzeM5Q1qP96kPgfrbSg7vok2xKb37VoV_ZbpzYpw1Z9CiS3yt4uCnkAmi12fS0pg7q8yTtRx27VeG6yMHCHZrI8EEbJ/s320/DSCN1347.JPG" /></div><br />Because Koen sits at Max's level now, he has started grabbing Max's wiskers.

On August 1st he was blessed, and on Monday he is going in for his 2 month appointment. Has it already been 2 months??? It seems like yesterday I was pregnant and waiting to see him. He is getting so big and has started to smile and coo. He is so adorable! I love being a mom and have waited so long for this moment. Being a mom does, however, come with it's trials. My biggest trial has been feeding! Anyone who says breast feeding is natural has clearly never done it. Here is my little family outside of the church at his blessing. What a blessing he is. It was also a blessing to have so much support from our family. Koen is definately loved. <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5504357623923217442" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpUwG70iZsoXHUo6_Rj-Ij6nmjSdxUTmnMXdqsF_RnvWzR8B5BIEk4GyVAHBIL_Pj_4osJh5TcmYBz__OK51yZ64FO_CfaiYUWpNzplsBeFI0Scwfr9hfe5jjFk9grNKd0HPVxEzY5VB8X/s320/Family.JPG" border="0" />I just realized I haven't posted any pictures of him on my blog yet.

We love the name <span style="font-size:130%;"><strong>Koen Wesley Blue</strong></span><span style="font-size:100%;"> and I think we have finally settled on the spelling. Koen in German and means bold, daring, and a wise counselor. I think he can be all of those things. He is also being named after Wes' grandfather, Wesley Fetgatter, whom we just lost and love very much. I look forward to telling him where his name came from and about the wonderful man he is named after. Oh, and Koen is also named after his father, my husband, who is also a very wonderful man and a great husband!</span>Little Blue Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05942829306300987139noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-632895420189026468.post-32244608771042428122010-03-05T10:36:00.000-08:002010-03-05T10:58:28.270-08:00The Strangest FeelingOn Wednesday I had the strangest feeling. I have been feeling my little guy kick for quite a while, in fact I think he may be a martial artist. On Wednesday, however, I experienced a first because I had never <strong>seen</strong> him kick and feel him at the same time. Is was amazing to watch him kick on the ultrasound monitor and feel it. Wes and I were laughing at him because his legs were hinged back the whole time ready to send me kicks. We also laughed because at the beginning of the ultrasound he was moving around like a crazy man and then suddenly stopped and fell asleep. It is amazing how much you can love someone without seeing them on anything but a black and white blurry monitor. Here is a picture of his precious profile and a video from that ultrasound.<br /><br /><p align="left"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5445224294431285538" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 198px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZwDPuDL-MgRYi60KWd13RL6qi3bSp-Ud7E1nTute83dbw-xILrhqyo6FijysCuFsUdZJmtBIugNnxPQjosnk42VB6sqBdDbRNB-4C1dXQAe4ZpltPdEHqkeb1QhUwB0LWUSgezsj_tPHv/s320/Cohen.jpg" border="0" /></p><p align="center"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dyY-hdHleBsvdU0aznZGJr-K2gAt_T89F1y8QBAt_6ly4LFwHn3PsHjj4ovF18V9c1MRKzjF78o08csGaeriA' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe><br /></p>Little Blue Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05942829306300987139noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-632895420189026468.post-60589055286888774172010-01-13T08:56:00.000-08:002010-01-13T09:04:13.476-08:00It's a Boy!We just found out we are having a beautiful baby boy!

I learned about the Scentsy products many years ago, and always thought about signing up as a rep simply because I personally love the products so much. I finally signed up and am having so much fun with the 80+ scents and cute warmers! I was not able to find anything to make my whole home smell good until I tried Scentsy. Plus...there is no fire! The warmers are 100% safe and never get warm enough to start fires or burn little fingers. A woman I know has actually tried to set a fire with it to simply prove that it won't. She was unsuccessful at starting a fire. She also shared with me that they are allowed for teachers to have them in their rooms because they are so safe. Let me know if you are interested in ordering some, if you simply want to look at a few (I have warmers and plug ins), or if you just want to sit down and smell 80 scents.

I decided I wanted to find a piece of furniture I saw a lot of potential in, and create this style myself. I have watched craigslist often to find this special piece, and I finally found it this weekend. I was so excited when I found it because it is unique, beautiful, and cheap. The woman I purchased it from thought it didn't have any value, but it is around 60 years old, solid wood, and dove-tailed. It was a dream come true! Wes and I contacted her and drove to a small town called Krum, TX, and picked up our treasure. She only wanted $50. Here is my new project...<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFGNymjcX3YjRsXeGAApvsyqEoyC34-Ra1ee-MyYzsY2zwZdmbQQaodtVqAetdfgLLd8Befw2xHAGlgVImI7pd-s-wktx76T-MLmePxI32JXTuozMeHg1Qmoo8bDpELMCT8SiFK5GTTA5u/s1600-h/DSCN1190.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFGNymjcX3YjRsXeGAApvsyqEoyC34-Ra1ee-MyYzsY2zwZdmbQQaodtVqAetdfgLLd8Befw2xHAGlgVImI7pd-s-wktx76T-MLmePxI32JXTuozMeHg1Qmoo8bDpELMCT8SiFK5GTTA5u/s320/DSCN1190.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384116517601731410" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnzANGjLxnZtK7HQcfAxB0sCg7Ua-RJvSB64fJgbv-5OPVHkOyQxhkMFdXo2xhG3n2fzIv2IDaLIoI6gj4EB_ym3M0fTa1f3APXLyVXdmXLtttumSY2Rlz3FWxS5cnxJ2FVa_GheC_4Z3q/s1600-h/DSCN1191.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnzANGjLxnZtK7HQcfAxB0sCg7Ua-RJvSB64fJgbv-5OPVHkOyQxhkMFdXo2xhG3n2fzIv2IDaLIoI6gj4EB_ym3M0fTa1f3APXLyVXdmXLtttumSY2Rlz3FWxS5cnxJ2FVa_GheC_4Z3q/s320/DSCN1191.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384116723602133586" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxXiI4C2S85BGBZAFrvJ82iqkHzzWxp3PWaoKFxtYf5DqObD-vdBM52WfFo1AKHqXZeXsQ7ixrKWwb35tf9qe6nRigQkJQRMEj8oteyJGkv0fXAPhhWt2YdviqBLsVoj_ttv2jBhopUY9l/s1600-h/DSCN1192.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxXiI4C2S85BGBZAFrvJ82iqkHzzWxp3PWaoKFxtYf5DqObD-vdBM52WfFo1AKHqXZeXsQ7ixrKWwb35tf9qe6nRigQkJQRMEj8oteyJGkv0fXAPhhWt2YdviqBLsVoj_ttv2jBhopUY9l/s320/DSCN1192.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384117267062867426" /></a><br />Isn't it beautiful?

He is such a big boy, and we love him so very much. Max received a new doggie bed, and some yummy chew snacks. He also got to play with my parents dog, Barney, and eat a lot of people food courtesy of my mom. We can't believe how long he has been in our little family, we are so grateful for him. He constantly brightens our lives.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBHMCSVpQL05ERtY-_Ssjetf_coFOqBhvQBLMI-DCYgeP7tD7aPlrEowFLlVPX0CqBaAlU5xTerK0IW-E0EjK1tJ2BH6L6ezMjC9RUdp_ucg4V150RNv1D5Bj-pf3dMPHrKXrocdzZsslH/s1600-h/Barney_&_Max_001+Cropper.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 318px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBHMCSVpQL05ERtY-_Ssjetf_coFOqBhvQBLMI-DCYgeP7tD7aPlrEowFLlVPX0CqBaAlU5xTerK0IW-E0EjK1tJ2BH6L6ezMjC9RUdp_ucg4V150RNv1D5Bj-pf3dMPHrKXrocdzZsslH/s320/Barney_&_Max_001+Cropper.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375096949474808738" /></a>Our little blue family at my parents house.
