Pictures!! April 13,2010

Here are pictures from Spring Break, Easter and Duncan's surgery. All kind of mixed up, but I finally got them here!

Duncan loves to sit at the island and eat! One more bar stool and there will be enough for everyone!

Right after surgery, he was such a trooper.. tonsils and anotiods only took 15 minutes. The longest part was 2 1/2 hours in recovery.

Stickers that helped pass some time.

At the park in Knoxville, Duncan had a blast.

Such a big boy on the tire swing.

Duncan and Hunter

Taylor, Hunter and Duncan. Hunter was going down weather he wanted to or not!

Duncan loves to ride in the wagon!!

Easter egg hunt, he got so many eggs, he had to use Taylor's basket!

Duncan's big egg, had all kinds of goodies in it

Hannah and her basket of eggs and her big egg with all kinds of goodies

Gabby didn't mind going down the hill in the wagon. Duncan was very careful and did not put his feet in the air like he does when he is by himself.

They are going to be scary together

Easter egg hunt at the park. Duncan caught on very fast!

Duncan really liked the Easter Bunny, he followed him around the park!

Blowing out my candles. Sarah made me and ice cream cake.. It was yummy! The candles said AH, very cool.

Sarah, me and my cake

Duncan eating like a dog, not sure where he learned that!

Eating a taco like a big boy

Ice cream cone. He was "sharing" with his Dad.. Dad got the cone!

This is what Mommy made him do on spring break!! He wouldn't give it back to Mom.

Gonna ride down the hill, one of Duncan's favorite things to do!

Duncan found his sled on spring break. The air is now let out of it.

Duncan had his tonsils and androids out today. He did very well, we had to be there at 6:45 and he went to surgery at 7:45. He was very brave, didn't even cry when he went back with the nurse! He took his blanket and dog with him. He got to push the special button to open the door! At 8am Dr. Morgan came out and told us everything went well and his tonsils were very large, which we already were aware of! We had to wait 30 minutes before we got to see Duncan. He was very groggy. He didn't really cry much at all. We were home by 11, and he just rested most of the day. In the evening he did get a burst of energy and played quit a bit! We will see how the next few days goes!

Easter 2010

We went to the Easter Egg hunt at the park on Saturday afternoon, didn't take Duncan long to figure out what to do! He got 1/2 bucket full of eggs!

Easter was so much fun this year! We went to the Easter Vigil at church on Saturday night. It is such an awesome mass. Duncan did very well for it not starting until 8:30pm. He did good and then about 10 got pretty fussy, but we made it! He does such a good job at church, even kneels and prays with the rest of us!

On Sunday we got up with Duncan, who slept in (YEA). He found his Easter basket before Tracy and I go downstairs. He really loves the new bike helmet the Easter bunny brought him. The Hawkins came over for the Easter egg hunt, the Easter Bunny hide eggs again this year. Duncan had fun! In the afternoon everyone came back for a cookout. Lots of good food, ribs and hamburgers, coleslaw, crunchy potato salad, brownies and my most favorite, peanut butter cookies with chocolate chunks on top. Hannah did an awesome job on these!
After dinner we played games and then went to the park in Knoxville, it rained on us once we got there. But it stopped as soon as it started. Duncan had a blast, he loves the park. He played with Hunter while the rest of us visited.

March 28,2010

home and played outside in the beatiful weather.

This weekend was so nice. It was a busy week last week, but we got some family time this weekend!

Sarah and Hannah came over for supper on Friday, they did not want to go to the fish fry with their Dad. Duncan loves when they are over, they played and played!

Saturday we went to finincial peace university class and the girls babysat Duncan. I am learning so much from class. It is worth every penny we spend on it. Duncan and the girls played outside so Duncan was ready for a nap right after lunch. Then off to find shoes for Tracy and I, of course I couldn't find any so only Tracy got new ones, oh well that's how it goes. Kenny and Rachel came down for a cookout and games. What a fun night, glad they didn't mind waiting a few minutes in the driveway for us! Shoe shopping and grocery store took a little longer than I expceted. Glad they didn't mind the dirty floor or the sink full of dishes!

Sunday off to church. Tracy took the girls to the natural living expo, out for lunch and to the Iowa Energy BB game. They had a very good time from the sounds of things. Tracy also let Taylor drive downtown! I think that was pretty exiciting! Duncan and I stayed home and played outside in the beatiful weather.

I will try and get some more pictures posted soon!

March 22,2010

I looked at Duncan this week and think, my how he has grown. He is not a baby anymore but a toddler who is becoming very independent. He loves to do most everything by himself. He is really growing up, he follows simple directions, and likes to do what we do! It is just fun to watch him.

After being off most of last week, time to get back into a routine this week. May be hard, but we will get there. He seems to lay in bed longer at night playing, but not crying so we let him be. I love listening to him play in his bed. I love that Duncan loves to be outside, although I don't love that he cries in the evening when it is time to come in! It is only March what are we going to do when it is really nice out and stays light until 9pm??!! Guess we'll figure that one out when it gets here.

Duncan was sure glad to have his girls back today and aunt and uncle! He really missed them while they were on vacation. When we went to feed their dogs, he got as many of the trucks out as he could and played. I sat on the bench and let him play for awhile, I did ask him if he wanted to go to the park but he was perfectly content playing in Abby's back yard!
