Amazing how .25 cents can keep you laughing for a good hour or two!

He is getting so big!! And he seems to be happy all the time!

She loves candy (just like mom)...and as a mother of 2 small children you learn to live with the fact that they have messy faces, sticky hands, and they get it all over....but oh well it washes off most of the time.

So much has been going on this summer....chasing kids back and forth to baseball and softball practices and games. Annaliese loves being outdoors and riding her bike, and Tristan squeals, rolls over, and has realized that he has a nose. Annaliese is talking a lot more she keeps me pretty entertained and on my toes! We had a fun 4th of July weekend! It was fun to spend it with family and friends. Shelby, Kira and 2 of Shelby's cousins did the grease pole in Salina and won!! They split over $200 dollars between them!! Maybe I will do it next year.....YEAH RIGHT. (We saw a moon and it was only 11:30 am) Annaliese loves cotton candy!!

growing fast

Well the Baker household is really busy this summer. Ryan is busy with work. Braxton is busy with Allstar baseball, wrestling camp in Colorado, and then football will start in July. Shelby is busy with softball and just tried out last night for the allstar team, so I am sure we will still be doing softball for a few more weeks. Tristan is catching up to his sister....FAST at his 4 month visit he weighed 15.4 and was 25 inches. Annaliese went to the Dr. this week and was 20.4 and 30 inches, T is such a little chubba bubba, and A is a skinny minny. Annaliese has started to potty train....it is going pretty good, she poops in the toilet and pees on the ground. She is so independant and starting to talk a lot more, just wish I could understand her. Today she wanted Cheetos....so I said say Cheetos....CHEE TOS... this is what she said DOE CHEE she picked and Cheeto up and said " Mom....doechee" she is so darn cute. She is a big help with her brother making sure that he is ok and his face is washed. Ran out of time will have to post pictures in a few....

Picture overload

Really where did the time go? My little precious girl is 19 months old and giving me a run for my money.....she is so fast and into everything, but then she can be a sweetheart. My little boy is growing so fast, he is 3 months old. At his 2 month check up he was 11.8 lbs and 23 inches long. Annaliese was 18 months and 19 lbs, her brother will be passing her up this summer I am sure. We are loving that the weather is getting warmer, so we can spend a little more time outside, and Ryan is back to work! Yipee! Braxton and Shelby are starting baseball and softball. They both are counting down the days until school is out. Here are just a few random pics. (I need to take more, but these are the ones that are off of my phone, I will try and get the sd card and load some from the camera.) The photo with Annaliese and a headband and ponytails is too cute, hair extensions for babies. (well thats what I call them)

bring on spring

Oh my, I can't believe it is already March! Bring on Spring! I am tired of the cold weather and ready to be outside. I am looking to buy a double stroller, so if anyone is selling one or knows somebody who is let me know please. I think Ryan had better finish his garden project so we can till the garden and get it ready to plant some peas and other cool weather plants. Kids are growing so fast Tristan is going to be six weeks old on Monday and Annaliese is almost 1 1/2. I can't believe how fast time is going by it seems like it was just the first of Feb.

1 month old and 17 months old

Wow where did the time go? Tristan is already one month old today! Annaliese is a little helper when it comes to taking care of him. She just wants to hold and hug him all the time. She has also started talking a bunch this last week. Some of the words you can understand and others you can't, it is her own little jiberish. Annaliese turned 17 months old this month, she is facinated with zippers, and Shayla's cell phone. I tried to get her dressed this morning and as you can see she wanted to stay in her PJ's and just put a vest on. She definately has a mind of her own.

IT'S A BOY!!!

Tristan Ralph Baker joined our family on Jan. 25, 2010. What a cutie he is! He was 6 pounds 9 ounces and 19.5 inches long. Maybe I will have Shayla help me post some pictures this weekend.

Time flies....

Still no pics.........probably never will be!! :) Well last year flew by!! Braxton is wrestling and doing awesome. Shelby is in her first year of basketball, it is fun to watch. Annaliese is walking or should I say running all over. Thanksgiving and Christmas were both a blast.....spent with lots of family. Kids were spoiled once again on Christmas. New Years was....... well New Years...a movie with my honey and baby, in bed by 12:05....I must be getting old! Baby #2 scheduled to arrive on January 25, 2010. Wow.............times flies......watch for pictures on Shaylas blog!
