Trip to Nevada and California

Instead of flying out to NV & CA for Christmas, we waited till Zane was born and took a trip to see our family and friends. We flew in on Tuesday to Reno, saw my parents briefly and then drove to Sacramento to see Josh's grandparents, aunts and uncles, and his dad was also there at the farm for the week. On Friday, my mom and dad came down and the kids and I went with them to see my Grandma Wigholm. We went to the Oakland Zoo and then to dinner at The Old Spaghetti Factory (absolutely delicious) for a early Mother's day celebration. We spent the night and then we went back to Josh's grandparents for a family get together. The rest of our time was spent in Reno with my family and also we were able to see some friends. We also went up to Tahoe one afternoon. I never tire of that place. It is absolutely beautiful, no matter what time of year you are there.

Kylee snuggled up with her Papa and fell fast asleep after a busy day of playing.

Zane pretty much slept through his first visit to a zoo!

I always loved walking on this wall at my grandparents when I was little,
and Kylee discovered it was quite fun, too!

Wayne Comstock and Zane

We went and saw my mom's friend Carol while we were in Reno.
She really enjoyed seeing them.

There is a new sporting goods store in Reno called Scheels. It has a ferris wheel in the middle of it. Kylee and my dad enjoyed a ride on it.

Kyee waiding in the water at Lake Tahoe. It wasn't absolutely freezing, but wan't very warm either. She didn't seem to care though. By the time we left, she had her jacket off, too.

don't we make a cute couple!

Some pics from April

We are replacing the fence beside our house. Kylee has her own pink tool set (they are real tools!), and she was helping her daddy take it apart.

Here is Zane at 2 months old next to Kylee's baby that he used to be the same size as when he was born.

I love this picture of Zane.

Joshua had to wear his blues last month when he went for some training, so I snapped some pictures of Zane in his "Daddy's little wingman" shirt and Daddy in his blues.

Kylee got in on the picture too!

Gracie's first t-ball game. Kylee had fun cheering for her. She was too cute with her pink helmet and pink glove.

2 months old

Already two months has gone by since Zane entered our world. He started out so little, and has grown so much. His 2 month appointment isn't until the 23rd, so we will find out then how much he weighs and his height. He is eating well (as you can see), and sleeping good still. He slept for 7 hours the other evening/night, but it wasn't during the 7 hours that I sleep! He still wakes up twice a night.

This picture of him reminds me of Kylee when she was a baby with those chubby cheeks.

Easter '09

This past month

Here are some pictures from this past month. Maybe from now on, I'll keep up with the pictures, etc. It's a nice though. We'll see how it goes! Some days all I seem to get done is spending time with Kylee, changing Zane's diapers, feeding Zane, and keeping my sanity! Actually, Zane is a very good baby. He is still sleeping a lot and only eats every 3-4 hours during the day and night. He is starting to coo, which is very cute. I'm not sure if it's because he is a easier baby than Kylee was, or that he's my second, but the time seems to by going by a lot quicker with him. I'm not sure I like that! My little girl is growing up too fast also. Two weeks ago, we registered her for Pre-K in the fall. She is so excited to go.

My mom multitasking! Kylee has so much fun while my mom was here. She got as many books read to her as she wanted. I think my mom is helping her put her puzzles together from her puzzle book.

Here we are at the hospital. Zane had to go back in the hospital when he was was one month old. He was there for 4 days with RSV. God blessed that Zane didn't have to be on oxygen or have an IV while we were there, but he got quite tired of his nose being suctioned out and all the breathing treatments. He is doing fine now.

Daddy & Zane

Here is Zane at 1 month old. He weighed 7 lbs and was 19 3/4 inches long. At one month old, he was the same exact size as Kylee was when she was born!

Kylee wasn't tired one night and we heard her talking in her room and this is how we found her! She was telling stories to her stuffed animals and dolls! She fell asleep later with everything still around her.

Joshua's sister Amy came down for a week. We had a really nice visit with her. She took Kylee to Build a Bear and Kylee got a black lab and the puppy with a bed. I'll have to take a picture of it. It's too cute.
Nathan and Dianna were also here for a week. We got to relax a lot, Dianna and I did some shopping, and just had a great time. We went to play tennis one day, but didn't get to play that long because it started to rain.

Zane at 5 1/2 weeks old

Gracie & Kylee playing beauty shop (minus the scissors).

I offered to make Gracie's birthday cake and I gave Gracie a few choices. Thankfully she picked the easiest one since I didn't have that long to put it together. It's not perfect, but Gracie liked it, so I guess that's all that counts.

Zane's first captured smile. It seemed like every time he smiled, I didn't have the camera close by.

Zane's Quilt

I haven't been as good at blogging lately due to a recent change in our lives! I'm getting accustomed to having two kids now, so I should be getting better at blogging again.

Here is Zane's quilt that I finished before he was born. This one was fun to make because it was so random. I got the idea from here and followed the tutorial from here. I got all the fabrics at JoAnn Fabrics except for the zoo print which is Alexander Henry's Zoo fabric that I bought online.
