Breastfeeding Zeke

As many of you know, breastfeeding is really important to me. I think it is amazing that God created us this way- to be able to provide for our babies. A mothers milk is designed specifically for her baby, and it tastes different every time the baby nurses! There is so much more I could say about this marvelous gift God has given mothers! Since there is a chance Zeke may be my last, I really wanted to get some nice, tasteful breastfeeding photos. So my aunt took some and she did such a great job! I wish I had done this with all my boys, and I encourage anyone who breastfeeds to consider getting this done!

Why all our toys break...

Since a very young age, Sam has enjoyed piling his toys or balls all in one spot and kick them around. I do not know why, but even today at age 4 1/2 he is still doing it! I have few pictures, but I know he has been doing it for a long time!

Summer fun

Saturday we had a BBQ with the Moore's, lots of fun! Sunday we had a great father's day, I am truly blessed with a wonderful dad and an amazing husband who loves his boys and is very involved with them. Another fun thing on Sunday was we took Sam to the tennis courts, I didn't take any pictures! But for his first time he was really good! A natural...maybe he will play tennis and not hockey! (Kevin said no...)

Deck and hockey BBQ

Bug bites and mud puddles

I wish I had had a camera at the softball game last night. Not just to take a picture of poor Aunt Ashley with a screaming Zeke, but to take a picture of Josh. Instead you will have to use your imaginations, so picture this: MUD PUDDLES and JOSH. Yeah...when we went to the van to go home, we stripped Josh to his diaper and squirted him with water from our water bottles.

After the game we all went back to our house to hang out on the deck. There were a lot of mosquito's. The below picture is what Josh looked like this morning, apparently the bugs like him. The picture does not do it justice, the bites are VERY red and the bite on his forward looks like a huge bump sticking out from his head. (If you click on the picture it gets bigger and you can see the bites a little better.)

Dimples ?

We think that Zeke's smile is starting to show a hint of dimples. What do you think? At this age Sam had very prominent dimples- I don't think he ever smiled without dimples. Josh has never had dimples. I think Zeke might be in between.
