BABY SEDONA and RIDING HIS BIKE TO SCHOOL


The school year is coming to an end and the one thing Steele has been wanting to do is ride his bike to school. We parked in a housing development that has a gate that leads to the school yard. He was so excited to do this. I jokingly told him I would watch him with my binoculars which I think embarrassed him. I got the MOM NO! Funny because two days ago I was at his school reading to his class and he could not keep from wanting kisses and to sit by him at his desk. It has been great being off of work and able to take and pick him up from school. We are looking forward to field day and a great summer ahead.

The first time Steele got to hold his little sister


On our way to the doctor Her country themed room. We still have a few more decorations to add.


May has been a busy month for us. So glad it is coming to an end. Sedona was born on May 18, 2010 and weighed 7lbs 2oz. I am a terrible anesthesia patient and was completely out of it for the c-section. After half a day and night of vomiting and dry heaving I finally began to feel better. I will have a story to tell her about her name when she is older. I woke up the next day to find out that everyone was calling her Sedona. I guess the whole "you snooze you lose" applied to me. Steele was able to come by the next day and was so excited. Who would have thought eating hospital food together in bed could be so fun! He was disappointed he would not be able to hold her since she was in the nicu, but he was able to peek in the window and watch her eat. How lucky Sedona will be to have a big brother to keep the boys in line, teach her how to fish and hunt, and be a sporty girl. Steele is also lucky to have a big sister and now a little sister. We have all settled in nicely and things are going well. We are looking forward to a great summer ahead.

THE TWINS and STUDENT OF THE MONTH

I'M READY
STEELE AND CHASE

LOOKING FOR A NICE LINE DRIVE


MARCH STUDENT OF THE MONTH

March has been a great month for Steele. He is very excited to be playing Rookie ball. Once he found out what he was playing for the Twins he had to have a Twins flat hat. One of the dads asked Steele if he wanted his hat to be curved. He said he would do it while Steele was practicing his batting. Steele had a nervous giggle not sure if the dad was serious. We are all looking forward to a great season.
Steele was also student of the month for March. He just kept saying "I can't believe I'm student of the month." We are all very proud of him for his great grades and hard work.

New addtion to the family!!

Amazing what they can do these days at such an early stage in the pregnancy.
She still has her hand up by her face. By the looks of this picture she may have my nose. Poor thing.

This was a perfect picture moment because Steele was at this appointment and the ultrasound tech told Steele his sister was waving at him.

We are all very excited for the new addition to the family. Steele is very excited to make her a Broncos fan. The poor girl will be brainwashed by a Patriots fan, Colts fan, and a Broncos fan. That will last until she picks her own team. Steele can't wait to drive her to Subway, take her on the ski lifts, and show her how to ride the dirt bike. I have seen through Steele's reaction and excitement that this is truly the best gift I could give him as a parent. She will be so lucky to have a wonderful big brother.

Brian Head January 2010

Steele's first time snowboarding. He did great. I made him take a lesson which was very helpful.

The tubing hill. Sooo much fun!!





Brian catching some air



This was our first ski trip of the year. Once again we were blessed with great weather. Saturday was so great we had to shed some layers. Saturday Brian and Steele skied and Sunday they got to snowboard. Brian had made a deal with Steele last year that he could snowboard one day. I threw in my deal that he had to take a lesson if he was going to snowboard. We did pull him out early so Brian could take him on some runs. All along I had said that I will make him ski until he is 10. After a day of snowboarding, and Brian, I know I will lose this battle. He will thank me later that I made him become a great a skier when he has to take his kids and grand kids. It was cute to hear the dads saying "I'm to old to board" to their teenagers. Brian realized he better get his butt in shape. We were thinking that we would go just once this year, but I am already looking for ways to budget in another trip this year.
