Last day of school

Sebastian had his last day of pre-school on May 27...I cried, like snot running down your face crying. Not because my baby is growing up but because he will be loosing his teachers Mrs Morgan and Mrs Dacola..His teachers were awesome, they challenged him and made him work hard and he loved every second of it..Max is already signed up for the class of 2013 and he got the last spot...Goes to show you how good they realy are!!! Here are some pics from his last day..

Playdates and Surgery...

This past week was crazy. Max had a scope and colonoscopy done on Thursday to test him for Celiacs. We are still awaiting the results and hope to have them by the end of this week. He is still having a hard time gaining and keeping wait on. A nutritionist will be coming to our house on Wednesday of this week to evaluate Max. Friday I set a play date for the boys and they had a really good time. My friend Faye brought her 5 boys ages 10-10months and my friend Courtney brought her little boy Keaton who is 10 months. Here are the pictures from their play date.

Good-bye #6

At the begining of this month we said goodbye to Apt #6 and moved into our first house!!! Although we are just renting we are so excited to be living in a home of our own...Our landlord is awesome {she was a member of our ward and took a job opportunity in an other state} we have been able to paint and make it our own! I'm slowly getting unpacked and decorating a room at a time...So pictures of the inside coming soon!!! I was surprised at how emotional I got leaving our apartment, it was our home for 5 years...so many memories were made there!! The boys are still adjusting but are loving having a yard and being outside 24/7....Here are some pictures of our back yard fun the past 2 weeks

Max's first Birthday party!!!

We had Max's 1st Birthday Party this past Saturday and it was so much fun...We decided to wait and celebrate it a month late since we would be moved into our new house and have more room...It actually worked out perfectly because our good friends Gene and Kira ended up coming down from Columbus this weekend for mothers day so they were able to come to the party!!! Sebastian was so excited to see Caleb and Emilee...We had a lot of friends and family over and even though the weather was crappy we had a great time...Max loved all the attention and playing/mauling his buddy Jack-Jack...I didn't get many pictures because I was busy running around but here is what I got.
{Max ready to get this party started}

{such a good boy}

{I loved his cake, Walmart rocks!}

{I little confused}

{Oh yeah, he dug right in}

{the aftermath}

UGH!

{we've been dealing with all kinds of nastyness these last two weeks...Hopefully answers to all his health issues are coming soon!}

P.S. We moved, pictures to come soon.

What we've been up to...

Cleaning, painting, packing and running back and forth from place to place....

.....It's exhausting, just ask Max!!!

About time

{This is a picture of Sebastian and Max both at a year old. It's a horrible pic of Sebastian he was sick but all my old pics are on our old hard drive. With that being said, what do you think? Do they look alike?} In two weeks we are finally saying goodbye to apartment living and moving into a house!! We are so excited for this next step in our lives. There is so much to get done {ie: cleaning. painting, packing and finally moving}....Thankfully my AWESOME dad has saved the day and is painting the whole house for us!!!! We are so grateful for this, with Donald's work schedule the only day we have to get stuff done is Tuesdays so to say we were feeling stressed was an understatement! My mom came over a couple of weeks ago and we totally gutted the apartment of any un-needed junk. I've already started to pack up toys and later today I'm going to move to clothes...Max has his one year appointment on Tuesday and for journaling purposes I wanted to post his stats: he was 30in long {50%} and weighed 20 lbs 4 oz {12%} the doctor was pleased that he had gained back a few ounces from his previous stomach issues. He wants to keep Max on formula for another 3 months and avoid all things dairy....we will then try to slowly introduce milk again...He is hopeful that he will grow out of the allergy...We tried soy milk but his little body just has such a hard time digesting it...I am just happy he is feeling better, we haven't had a vomiting or diarrhea episode in a week...We were at the house yesterday painting and Sebastian was helping my dad prime one of the room. He was so cute telling me he was making a master piece, I wish I would has had my camera with me....We have been there every night this week and the boys love running around in the fenced in back yard, and I love sitting on the swing and watching them!! I will post about Easter once we are all settled in. We had a small celebration for Max on his actual birthday with my mom and dad but his party is going to be on May 8.
