Tyson and Olivia's Birthday Party

This weekend we were able to go to Oceanside and celebrate Tyson's birthday. We had a joint party with his friend, Olivia, who is exactly two weeks older than him. We had a great time and boy was he wore out the next day! Here he is fascinated with the fire truck that Pastor and Miss Lisa got him.

Their birthday cake, as you can tell, our theme was Minnie and Mickey Mouse!

We had a pinata, here Tyson is just learning that he is supposed to run and get the candy, once he figured it out we couldn't get him to stop!

This is so funny, Leon put him in Zach's car seat while he ate his lunch!

Update

Hello friends and family,

Things are going really well and we are adjusting pretty good to having two children! We haven't quite mastered the "making it to church on time" yet, but we are working on it. I made my very first trip out alone this week, I took both boys to the post office and while Zach was actually content, Tyson was crying and disobeying because he wanted something from the car! Our church family through us a shower, which was such a blessing as we received probably over 400 diapers! 

Tyson is adjusting well, still has his jealous moments, but loves his little "bwudder". Tyson also turned two this week and now he always says "birfday", it's too cute! 

Unfortunately, I did have to drop out of school over a week into the semester as it was just too much with Leon's schedule and having the two boys now, Lord willing I will be able to start again soon.

Please pray as Leon has put his reenlistment paper work in and some decisions are depending on the reenlistment outcome.

Tyson's Apron

Tyson's grandma brought him an apron when she came to visit and help with the new baby. Here Tyson is enjoying some yummy oatmeal craisin cookies Leon made!

Boys' Pictures

Here are the pictures we had taken of the boys, this one is my favorite!

This one was so sweet, unfortunately you can't see Zach's face, but Tyson went over and kissed his hand on his own, we were telling him to hold on to the basket, but he wanted to kiss his hand, too adorable!

Poor little Zach gets the hiccups all the time, so I thought I would get a video so you can see how he reacts to things!

Zachary enjoying some time in his seat.

Tyson feeding Zach, it was too cute!

Isn't he such a handsome young man?

Tyson LOVING holding his little brother, but Zach is not such a fan at the time.

Zachary

Here is a video of Tyson when he first saw Zachary, as you can tell he had a few issues at first since he wouldn't even look at us, but now he is helping out and wants to put his pacifier in his mouth, pat his back and is seriously getting protective of him!

Zachary Kent

Hello Friends and Family!

We are proud to announce the birth of our son, Zachary Kent. He was born on March 3rd, 2009 at 4:16 p.m. He was 20.7 inches and weight 9 lbs, 3.5 oz! I went in for an appointment Tuesday morning, and the doctor said I had made significant progress. We asked about induction and the doctor made a few phone calls, and within an hour I was getting admitted and hooked up to the medicine! Thankfully, we have great neighbors who took great care of Tyson for us and only a couple hours after Leon dropped him off at their house, the nurse went to check me and said we were ready to have a baby! I had no idea that I was ready, but the doctor came in and within five minutes and half a push, we had baby Zach! Thank you for your many prayers as there were a couple hiccups along the way. 

We came home tonight, Tyson is doing well with the adjustment and enjoys rubbing Zach's hair. I am feeling very well and thankful to not be pregnant anymore! Zach is doing very well too, he is fussy tonight because he was circumcised and also had all of his tests done this evening before we left. Leon is doing good, he will have the next ten days off of work so he is excited about that.

We will post pictures and videos soon.
