Spring break

Over spring break we flew out to Arizona for some friends, family and fun!  The boys did great on the flight out and we were so excited to be in warm weather!  The first few days we stayed with some good friends, the McCabes.  Tony took Heisman to a Cubs spring training game with some friends and while they were there, Tony said he spent $50 on yummy treats.  Hot dog, popcorn, cotton candy, snow cones, etc.  He said when ordering his snow cone, Heisman told the guy he wanted two :)  It was fun staying with our friends so we could catch up and the kids played outside and went through the sprinkler a few times. 

The last half of our trip was spent at my Grandparent's place.  They have a place in Apache Junction that they go to every winter.  It was really fun there because they have a pool and miniature golf!  We also hiked up a little mountain called Silly Mountain and went to an old "ghost town."  My cousin Heather and her daughter Kinley were there as well so that was nice! 

Overall the boys did great!  Madden didn't sleep that well the first few nights but I'm not really sure why.  I thought maybe he was getting a tooth but who knows.  He did better as the trip went on.  With the two hour time change he was usually up by 6 (some mornings it was 445)!  Oh well.  We all had fun and ended up coming home to cold weather and snow :(

4 months

I can't believe how fast these last few months have gone!  Madden is 4 months (almost 5)!!  He is such a good baby.  Rarely fussy, sleeps all night, sucks his thumb, rolls from back to belly, talks, laughs and is so much fun!  Heisman has been great with Madden from the start but now is really taking more interest now that he can get him to laugh and smile at him.  I don't have Heisman changing diapers yet but he's a good helper :)  At Madden's 4 month check up he weighed 18 lbs 13 oz and was 26 3/8 inches long.  Big boy!  We will start cereal after we get back from Phoenix. 



Loves to jump!!!
