Cute Family

Snoozing Smiles, in his almost to little car seat.

I finally captured a smile awake!
Zak got to spend a morning at school with his cousin, Sabrina. He looked forward to it for days. Counting down the days until school, and waking up extra early each morning so he wouldn't miss school. Finally he got to go, and he loved it. What a big boy.
Yes, a new trend Makelle discovered, clothes pins around the toes. What??!
I was missing the sunshine, and wanted to spend a day with John somewhere. I kept telling him I wanted to go somewhere warm, and he should plan a day trip somewhere. I went to work and when I got home, there were heaters everywhere, homemade seashells, and homemade fish all over. John and the kids had turned our basement into a warm getaway. John completed the vacation by making us a cold tropical drink to cool us down from the heat. What a great family I have! It was the best vacation ever and it didn't cost a thing.
This is one of the big fish Zak caught in the ocean.
Grandpa Bagley and Grandma Joan with Lantz. And I did have a picture with Grandma and Grandpa Gerhauser, but I just accidentily deleted it and I don't know how to put it back right here.

Ashleys proud moment plus some cute kids

Ashley's Biggest accomplishment this week were these beautiful and delicious rolls. Yes, I am blogging about my rolls, but I am so so proud!!
John and Zak spent the day at the Zoo, so Makelle and I had a makeup party.
Is he more cute awake or asleep?
I almost got a smile. Lantz at 1 month.
Hanging out on Mom's bed.




It was spring for one day and we took advantage.

What a week

John being commissioned into the Air Force!!

Spring Fever!! We spent the day at the beach (aka our living room) with our swimsuits, toys, and towels.
We learned about colors and had fun mixing colors in shaving cream then doing shapes, numbers, letters, and pictures. It wasn't even messy at all!

This Week At Our House

Lantz is starting to be more alert and talking and I swear he was smiling right before I took this!

Zak and Makelle being Wolves!
John and Zak building a barn for his horses. Zak is great at hammering in the nails himself. He only hits his dad's fingers sometimes to be funny.
Lantz doesn't seem to be enjoying his bath at all!
The kids are so excited to feed Lantz a bottle, they are always asking when I am going to leave so they can feed him.
What a cute Cowgirl.
Such big kids reading to and taking care of their new brother.

Lantz 1 week

Do we do good work on babies or what?!

Surprise He's Finally Here

Lantz David Gerhauser

Born at 7:15 am on Monday, February 2nd

7lbs 10oz 21in long

We thought we were going to surprise everyone by keeping his arrival date a secret, but he showed us by coming a day earlier, we won't complain!

That's right, he isn't a monkey like his siblings with lots of black hair. We kinda like him with his brown fuzz. He must be a Gerhauser baby instead of a Bagley.

Zak and Makelle were so excited. They still can't hold him enough!

This is Lantz now that he is home. He loves to be awake and watch his brother and sister.
