Makena Faith Wooster

Welcome to the world Makena, i happen to know that your life from here on out will always be filled with lots of love...it is so nice to finally meet you. Congrats Robin and Mike.

Madi Chase

Here's a phot shoot madi wanted to do for Daddy...enjoy!

Alden the musician

Alden LOVES music. He immediately feels the beat and starts boppin, very cute. Here is a video from this morning while he was playing Daddy's key board, i only captured a little bit, but i was trying so hard not to laugh.

A rainy day inside

Today we were inside ALL day, and it's only 6:56pm right now and i've officially declared it the LONGEST DAY EVER! We started out our day with our neighbors Robin and her little boy Brayden, and we finished our day with Madi and Alden's cousin Alan...thanks
everyone for keeping us busy on this long long day.

Poor Alden

Poor Alden had to get tubes in his ears today. After many, many, many ear infections in a short period of time, it was our last resort. In theory, it's a great idea, i just wish it was painless and didn't require anesthesia. Overall he did very well, he was only in surgery for about 5 minutes, but the anesthesia really took it's toll on the little guy. It took him about 45 minutes to really come out of it, and he was screaming the whole time, thrashing and throwing his head around. It was so hard for Michelle and I, because we really couldn't comfort him. I think there are few things that are worse than not being able to comfort ones crying baby. After he finally fell asleep in the car, we drove around taking madi to school, picking up perscriptions, etc...and when I finally got to work and unloaded the baby, he was beyond wonderful. Crawling, clapping, playing with toys, it was amazing, like the surgery had never happened. So here we are, besides a little leakage coming from each ear, he's great.
Here are some pictures from this morning.

The poor unsuspecting fellow!

Baa Baa Black Sheep

This one's for you Daddy!

Water Play!

No words are really needed!

Brookelynn's Birthday Party

Madi loved the bounce house at Brooklelynn's Birthday party today...

But there was one little person that loved it even more than her!

Daddy's Girl...completely!

I know that Tom is missing the kids...however, Madi in particular has a very special bond with Daddy, and is having a hard time with him being away for so long. So Tom, Here is a couple pictures of your princess to hold you over for a little while. We love you and miss you to pieces...

Easter

WOW, easter kept us very busy this year. We started out at Cross Pointe church in Lincoln (for those of you that don't know, i am in LOVE with this church), after church we went to Yammy Chelle's and Papa Greg's for the annual Easter Egg hunt, then off to Yammy Yammy and Great Papa's house in Folsom ( my grandparents) for lunch, then back to Yammy Chelle's and Papa Greg's for dinner...and then finally home to bed. It was busy, but it was fun and very full of everything and everyone that we love and cherish in our lives...Yes Chrissy, that most definitely includes you ;)

Madi really got into the Easter spirit this year, her and Alden had so much fun finding their Easter baskets that the Easter Bunny decided to hide this year. Alden was SO happy when he woke up, ready to start the day. I can't wait until next year when Alden is a little older, i think of how much more fun it will be to watch them find their treats from the Bunny himself.

(Alden has the sleepy eyes on)


So Tom left this morning at 3:30am to catch a flight to Atlanta Georgia...he will be there training for his new job for the next three weeks. He comes home on may 1st, and we're already anxiously awaiting his arrival. We miss you hunny, so much!

The kids are growing!

It's been a LOOOOONG time since my last post. Nothing really new except the kids getting bigger everyday. They are the absolute lights of my life and i am sooooo fortunate not only to have them as MY children, but to truely know in this moment how lucky i am every single day. I catch myself often just gazing at what tom and i have created; two beatiful children, a loving home, stability, consistancy, FUN...ha ha the list could go on and on. I'm not trying to toot my own horn, but i am proud of tom and I, that as a young couple we have our priorities straight and we do whats right for ourselves and our children.

So madi is two and a half, she'll be three on July 10th. She is constantly cracking us up with things that she says, she absolutely adores her little brother, and she LOVES princess anything. Her favorite is Ariel, in fact her birthday party will be 'the little mermaid' theme. We look forward to watching her grow each day...mostly i look forward to losing the 'binky' i just can't seem to do it, i've tried multiple times and aside from the misery it causes her, the timing just really hasn't been right. Tom leaves on Monday for three weeks for training, so perhaps i will try again. I am weak though, i can admit it, there is nothing worse to me than one of my little people crying! Madi loves telling me that "yer not da boss of me mom" all in fun of course...she knows who the boss is :)

Alden is 11 months old, he'll be one on May 5th CINCO DE MAYO people! ha ha He is such a boy, totally different than madi was. It's true when people say that boys are boys and girls are girls. Alden loves making car noises, dancing, pulling himself up on anything that will hold him, being near his sister, and playing with ANY type of Ball. His vocabulary is growing by the minute, he can now say...mama, dada, ball (BA), more (MO), and puff (PAH), he can also clap his hands and wave bye bye. His favorite toy these days seem to be Madi's doll house, or rather the people that live inside of it. He crawls over to it everyday and like king kong grabs a hold of the roof, pulls himself up and plucks the poor unsuspecting family from inside. His favorites are the baby and the Grandma...used to be the daddy, but we lost him in folsom at the outlets :(

So here we are, gearing up for lots of summer fun. Aldens birthday party next month, Montana in June, Madi's birthday party in July and maybe a nice and relaxing day in August on our Anniversay where tom and i can reflect on the many things that enrich our lives daily...maybe someday soon he'll humor me and we can add another one of the beautiful wonders to our family...I said 'maybe' ha ha.
