Mother's Day and the boys' Dedication

I had a beautiful Mother's Day. I woke up to two of the most beautiful boys in the world. We got ready for church, where Adan and Lukas were to be Dedicated. What a wonderful day to do that!

When we got to church, we had to sit in our assigned seats, as there were 7 families dedicating their kiddos. Of course, being a last name that starts with "B," we were in the first row. Adan was the only one of walking and talking age. Talk about FUN. The pastors told us to just let him run around and let him be a kid. They said they wanted it to be a fun experience for him. LOL. When we were standing to pray, he had to count OUT LOUD all the "BAY-BEEES" that were there. That included 2 sets of twins and 4 other babies. His cute little squeal had everyone laughing. He would climb on the prayer bench and jump off. He was having a GREAT time.

When it was our turn to climb the stairs to be 'recognized,' he stood up there in front of the thousand or so people and just hammed it up. The pastor said "I've been watching that one all day. He's going to be a base jumper when he grows up." He asked me if he had an off button. The more people laughed, the more Adan cheesed it up.

Lukas was great, of course, though he did tinkle on daddy just before, so he had to hold him in front of him so people couldn't see LOL.

The boys each got a personalized Bible, a certificate and a letter that they are supposed to open on their 12th birthday. I got some roses. It was awesome.

We went to lunch at O'Charley's after wards and picked up a few movies. When we got home, we put the boys down for a nap and watched 3 movies. It was such a fun, relaxing day.

Being a mom is such a blessing. I don't want to miss a minute of it.

Lukas in his bouncy

He LOVES this thing as much as Adan did! Such a happy baby!

It's not the best video, but here's what I have!

Roseola

Adan had a very high fever starting Wednesday. It topped 103 and waned to 101 until about Saturday. Saturday night he had no fever and was feeling great. Sunday morning he woke up with a rash from his neck to his bottom. The doctor did some blood work said it was a virus and most likely Roseola, and that once the fever was gone, he was no longer contagious. Thank goodness! The rash was all but gone by today. We just have to watch Lukas to make sure he doesn't develop a fever.

I'm so glad he's feeling better now. Lukas doesn't have any symptoms as of today. Keeping our fingers crossed!

Lukas is rolling over!

He rolled over all by himself yesterday from back to his stomach. I'm trying to get it on video. Here are some random pictures until then!



Yes, that is at our Easter egg hunt. I didn't post much about our Easter b/c it was so hectic here. We had a small party at Ana's house a few days before Easter then went to a very LARGE Easter party at church the day before Easter. Adan had a blast, but I forgot my camera. Sigh..





Here is a photo of him rolling. :)

Lukas has a cold.

Poor baby has been so congested lately. We were all sick last week and are finally getting over it- except Lukas. I brought him to the Dr today and he got some meds to make him feel better. The big news is that at 12 weeks, Lukas weighs 17.6 pounds! He's wearing 6-9 month clothes and even his medication is dosed for a 4 month old. I love my chunky-monkey :)

Rainy day project

It was ugly today, so we created an Easter bowl to surprise daddy with. We're going to fill it with candy for him on Easter!
We finger-painted it and dried it with the hair dryer. Very fun way to talk about colors!
