Getting Bigger!

Here's Cru just last night hanging out. Everytime I tried to get a picture of him smiling, pushing up, etc. I'd just miss it! All parents out there can understand completely! He's growing up so quickly and we are enjoying his fun personality everyday. He LOVES his big brother and thinks he is the funniest kid in the world, even if he can't understand a thing he says......








Cru's first bite of cereal! He wasn't quite sure about that, but he warmed up to it really quick and he LOVES it now. He's even tried squash and green beans--which he loves! He loves his "food time" and gets soooo excited--- his mouth gets so big.

Snow, snow, snow

Our lovely icicles on our house.
During the last big snow storm Treyson and I went out
to make snowmen! The snow is not too good here...
really hard to pack so it took us (ME!) forever to
build it. Luckily Cru took a long nap that morning.

Here's the house covered in snow. It doesn't look as bad as we thought it actually was. I guess you just had to be there! Since it took me so long to get this up on the site we've actually had a little bit of a melt down and we even had a day last week that it was almost 50 degrees! Yeah spring!

Dental Formal

This was our last year to attend the Dental Formal and it was a blast! Here's our table at dinner with some good friends.
Here's a picture of some of the BEAUTIFUL girls... Kiley, JayLyn, me, Tracy, Nancy
Matt and Haley

Getting crazy on the dance floor... I believe this was a rock song.

Sledding Fun

Mommy and Cru were bored inside so we came out to see all the fun...
Cru didn't actually go sledding, but it was fun to put him in there!

Treyson and his friend Bailey sledding down our hill in front of our house, they had so much fun and both daddys had fun making the jumps!

Annual Family Photos

This is some of our pictures from our annual photo opt! Our good friend Sabrina took our pictures for us, she does a great job. It was a FREEZING day, despite our cheery faces... we bribbed Treyson with treats! You might even see them in his mouth in some of the pictures... ENJOY.

Baby Cru

This is our sweet little Cru! He is just a precious guy and brings lots of fun into our home. He is just starting to giggle and smile more often. He is a definite "Momma's Boy!"

Our little big guy

Couldn't let this picture pass by without sharing it with all of you. He is getting cuter every day! We are enjoying him so much and love to give him lots of kisses.

The Hair

Cru has some fun hair! He lost everything (or did he even have any?) in the front and he has a bunch in the back. We call it his comb-over! We can't tell yet what the color is, some days it looks red (when Matt holds him!) and other days it is kind of dirty blond or even auburn. We'll see...

Halloween 2006

This is Treyson's two costumes for Halloween this year... He was a dinosaur for the Trunk or Treat at our church. He wasn't in the best mood, due to no nap that day! He decided he wanted to be Spiderman for Halloween day. He was a hit in the neighborhood and many people commented on his costume. He was called "Spidey" all night and I think he kind of liked it! He definitely plays the part every time he puts on this outfit --showing off his muscles and lifting everything heavy.


Here's our cute little bear.... aka Cru! He was a tiny little thing when he actually wore this costume, but mom kept forgetting to take his picture and by the time I got around to taking it he actually fit it. Thanks to grandma Cheetham for providing the costume, so cute!

We have a new addition!! Little baby Cru!

We just wanted to let everybody know that we now have a new addition to our little family! He decided to come six days early, which caught us just a little bit off guard! Haley went into the hospital at 6:00 AM, and just a short time later, gave a natural, one push birth to a beautiful baby boy. The nurse said that he "blasted" out. Haley was definitely the Super Mom this morning especially without getting an epidural! Cru was born on October 11, 2006 at 7:11 AM. He weighed in at 7 lbs. 11.6 oz and measured 19.75 inches long. We were a little concerned how Treyson would react to his new baby brother. Fortunately, he was very excited, and has given Cru more kisses than Haley has! Here are a few pictures of how today went.

Treyson's 3rd birthday

Treyson's 3rd Birthday Party!
Treyson had a fun time at his SPIDERMAN birthday party... He had lots of great friends who came to celebrate with him on his special day. He was a little scared when we all started singing Happy Birthday that he ran under the table and started crying -- ("it's my party and I'll cry if I want to!") we think he was a little embarrassed by all the attention on him.
Haley "created" this birthday cake for him. She was going to make a cake, but decided it would take too long so we headed to Costco that morning to pick one up. It had balloons and all kinds of birthday fun stuff on it, but Treyson didn't want it because it wasn't his SPIDERMAN CAKE mom had been talking about! So we went to work to create this cake, removing some balloons and adding some webs, spiders, and cake top with spiderman and Mr. Octopus (as Treyson calls him). It was a fun time!

Niagara Falls

This was our first time to Niagara Falls! We took a mini vacation and stayed two days in Niagara Falls, CANADA. We stayed on Clifton Hill where there is lots to do... Treyson loved it. He especially loved the hotel we stayed at, check out the dragon pool! We took the Maid of the Mist tour, getting very wet, but it was fun to be able to get up right up close to the falls.

Expecting

Well if you haven't heard the news yet, we are expecting our second child! We are all excited about the new addition coming. I am due October 17th, just three weeks after Treyson's birthday. Treyson keeps asking if the baby is coming out soon-- so I tell him after his birthday!
We went in for our 20 week ultrasound and we found out we are expecting another boy!! We are glad to be able to give Treyson a brother, especially Matt! We think he will be a great big brother.
I am getting ready for another pregnant summer in the hot, humid Cleveland weather!

Formal Night

We went to the dental formal this year and had a blast! It was so fun to be able to dress up and have a night with friends and no kids. We have great friends!!

Christmas in the Northwest

We celebrated Christmas in Washington this year with Haley's family. We were lucky to spend three weeks there to visit with everyone. Treyson loved playing with his cousins--Trenton and Blake. It was a wonderful time!!
