What a week!

Ok I decided I'm going to shoot for updating this thing once a week, but we'll see how long that lasts! :) Lots has happened since my last post. Lets start with Mothers Day!

We decided for Mothers Day we wanted to go up to Riggs Lake seeing as we havent been there in a few years. It was sooooo beautiful! The lake is so clean and healthy again. We haven't seen it look that great since before the first big fire the mountain had when they were dipping out of the lake to fight the fire. The water level was back up and there was no stuff floating on top like there was before. It was so exciting to see it looking so good again.

We all got a great suprise that day too! My brother Daniel drove 12 hours from San Antonio, TX and suprised us all when he showed up at the lake to spend Mothers Day with us. It was so great to see him. We had a wonderful day up at the lake enjoying our family.

Trysten had his 4 month check up already this Friday. I can't believe how time is flying. He will most likely be our last baby so we want him to grow slow, but for some reason he just won't cooperate! He has gained back the weight he lost when he was sick and is now back at a whopping 15lb 14oz. They measured him in at 24 1/2 inches long. He is laughing more now and he is determined to hold his own bottle! He hasn't quite mastered it and gets mad when he drops it but he gets mad if we try to hold it too. We are trying to learn how to manuever to be able to help him without a fight so right now feedings are quite interesting. He is such a stinker!

This weekend the girls had their Spring Dance Recital. They were so great! Maryah did ballet and tap and Mykala did her Pom performance. It was fun to get to watch the older dancers as well. We hope that the girls will decide to pursue some form of dance for at least a few years. Its nice for them to get out and be with friends! Mykala is trying to decide if she wants to stick out Pom or try a different style of dance. Maryah informed us while watching the company dancers do their ballet "I so want to be a ballerina when I grow up". It was too cute!

So thats an update on us...We are excited to be heading out on vacation this weekend! Us, my Mom and Dad, my Granny, and Uncle Doug are headed to San Antonio to spend a week hanging out at the lake with my brother. It should be a great time...just long drive. Hopefully Trysten will decide to cooperate and behave! Should have some interesting things to say about all that so check back! :)
