Family Fun
On Sunday we went over to Kent's parents to have Sunday dinner/ Kent's birthday dinner. We had a great meal, which everyone ended up stuff. Thanks mom! Melissa came in town for Kent's birthday, so it was nice to see her. Here are some pictures that we took.

Jen and her kids, Jenson and Carlee. Aren't they cute!?
Happy Birthday Kent!!!
Saturday we celebrated Kent's 25th birthday with both of our family's. Kent decided that he wanted home made ice cream and rootbeer, so we can make floats. I thought it was an excellent idea and got the ingredients together. During the day Kent got to go shooting with all of his brothers and dad, while I stayed home and made the cake, ice cream and rootbeer. The cake turned out great and I was getting the ice cream ready to mix when Kent got home. He got the ice cream all ready and plugged in the mixer and it was broken. So he decides that he really wants home made ice cream so he runs to Wal-mart to buy a mixer, well they are out of season right now. While he is gone I'm working on the rootbeer and I was putting the dry ice in when it started bubbling so hard that it was gushing over the edge of the cooler. Only I didn't notice at first because of all the fog. When I notice I grab the 5 gallon cooler and try to carry it to the sink which is really heavy so it will not make more of a mess. I turn around and I have rootbeer completely over two of my counters, all over the floor, and myself. That is when I notice that Wesson had woken up from him nap and was screaming in the other room. I look at the clock and realize that I have a half hour until people are showing up. I'm covered in rootbeer, as well as the kitchen. Wesson is screaming. I have wet hair, no make-up, and I have to change my clothes. I get everything cleaned up and Wesson happy before people show up, but man what a day! We had lots of fun eating, playing guitar hero, and swimming. My dad ended up fixing the ice cream mixer, and saved the day. We still have four gallons of rootbeer left over and a gallon of ice cream. Looks like I'll be eating that for every meal:)

Couch to 5K
I saw this workout on Mallory's Blog and thought I might want to try it. It's called "couch to 5K" You do it three times a week for nine weeks. I'm not much of a runner, but I figured I might be able to do it. So I tried it today for my first time. Let me tell you it's a lot harder when you are pushing a stroller! Especially it you have a getto stroller like mine. If fact it is so getto this is the first time I have used it. I usually just front pack Wesson everywhere. It's an ok stroller, someone gave it to me, but it's just really big. I have a hard time fitting it in my trunk. But I hope I can stick with the program and do it. I really need to invest in a time piece with a second hand. All I had was my cell phone, so it was hard to know when 90 sec was up. But I did the best I could.

Four Month Check-up
We went to the doctor today for his four month check up and shots. He did ok, he didn't like the shots and screamed for a few minutes and then fell asleep on the car ride home. The doctor gave us the ok to start eating rice cereal! He now weighs 15lbs 14oz (75%), 26inches long (87%), and his head circumference is 43cm (88%). He is still asleep from his appointment and I hope he sleeps most of the day. Last time he went and had shots they ran out of boy band aids, so this time they made sure they had enough of them so he wasn't stuck with girl band aids again.

We finally got one
I've been trying to find a bumbo on craigslist forever. I'll find one, but I"m never fast enough to get it. Well I got a teal one, so I can use it if we ever have a girl. It came with a tray and we paid $25 for it. It looks brand new. Wesson loves it. He can sit up by himself and play with toys on the tray.
He really does like it. I think the flash scared him.

A Day At The Zoo
On Wednesday my mom invited us to go to the zoo with them, and since we have a zoo membership and since Omaha has one of the best zoos, we went. It was hot and we really never met up with my mom and sister, but here are some pictures.

Yummy!!!
Ok so I forgot to post these pictures last week. I just remembered I had them. But here are some pictures of Wesson trying out rice cereal. Now you might think that I am a bad mom, because I didn't get the doctors ok on it, but he was going through a growth spurt and wasn't sleeping good. So I tried some out to see if it would help him sleep. Well he only ate a few bites, because I already nursed him. Well here are the pictures.

Five bites later He was alot better. Because it didn't really make a difference I decided to wait no feed him any more until the doctor gives her o.k.
Here is the First bite. Didn't like it so much.

Digital Scrapbooking
Picture Time!
So yesterday we went and had our pictures taken at Portrait Innovation. I like the place, but we did have to wait an hour until they had time to take our pictures. Wesson did a good job considering how long we had to wait and how close it was to feeding time. Soon after we finished taking pictures he curled up in my arms and fell asleep.

Smile Baby Smile
Ok so I was talking to my mom about how I could never get any pictures of Wesson smiling, so we decided to tag team it, and these were the results. 


Then we were playing peek-a-boo with his burp rag and these are some adorable pictures we took. I just love them. He sort of looks Arabic.

HE DID IT!!!!
Ok, so I'm a proud mom, and just have to brag about my baby. He is so smart! He has figured out how to roll over!!! So being the good mom I am I took pictures the second time he rolled over. I wasn't planning on him rolling over the first time, so there are no pictures. But here are the pictures of him rolling over.

Come on! Give me a smile!
