Priceless....

Our daycare had sick kids so Jared stayed home this morning and I spent the afternoon with the boys.  When I walked in I saw this....

 They love their DADDY!!

Weekend full of family and fun

This past weekend was a fun one but a relaxing one too.  A lot of times when we go into Omaha it is to run here or run there and this time was just to see the baby and hang at home or go where we wanted to go.  It was nice to have the boys just hang at grandma's and grandpa's and not running here and there and everywhere.  Friday night when we got into town we "had" to stop for the fish fry at Danny's.  Danny's is a bar/restaurant that Jared's parents go to almost every Friday of the year for dinner.  Then we went from there to see little Ms. Ella.  She is so sweet!  The boys loved her too.  Right when we got to the hospital the boys were ready to eat so we fed them before we got to hold Ella.  The boys did so well an hour and half past their feeding. Saturday we went to Braeden's soccer game and it was so nice outside we took the boys, they are loving being outside (they sleep :) ).  Then we went to see Ella again and then back to the house to hang out for the night with the family.  It was a great weekend!

Another new baby

Ella Loren Ackerson was born tonight, weighing in at 8 lbs. 3 oz and 20 1/2 inches long.  She has a ton of dark hair.  This is Tara's (Jared's sister) baby, guess I should have said who had a baby huh?  We will head to Omaha to meet our new niece this weekend and hopefully have some more pictures of her.  Landon and Tristan are excited for another cousin and we have another one on the Rosenmeyer side coming in July... yay!

Baking...already

Yep that's right daddy is starting them young, Landon and daddy making dad's famous zuchini bread...yummy yummy in my tummy tummy

A Belly Full of Goodness!

Today we had another well baby appointment with Dr. Amir.  It went well as he said they are both doing great and growing on schedule.  They each received shots, but they handled it about as well as mom would have.  Tristan topped the charts at 10-4, while Landon was 9-6.  They have been eating really well and Landon is slowly catching up to his brother.  The big news of the day was that the boys ate cereal for the first time.  We will see how they sleep tonight after filling up!

Dr. Amir we are so glad he is our doctor, he is wonderful with the boys!

A Tradition Like No Other

This past weekend was a fun one spent with good friends from Briar Cliff.  Since I am still nursing we took the boys with us for the weekend.  The tournament is called "Whoopers and Hoopers" and is a basketball tournament for players of all skill levels.  So on Friday, we ventured out to Hastings, Neb., which is about a four-hour drive from Sioux City.  We were unsure how the boys would do, but they did GREAT!  We left Sioux City Friday about 4 p.m. and stopped in Omaha to eat and feed the boys quick before we got back on the road.  We arrived in Hastings about 10 p.m. where we were welcomed by good friends.  The boys were hungry so I feed them and then we hung out.  Landon slept and Tristan just laid there chillin', he didn't want to miss out on anything::).  They slept until 6:30 a.m.!! Yep, I would consider that their first time sleeping through the night!  We played that morning at 8 a.m., so after the feeding we got up and ready for the day.  The boys, including dad, did so well getting in and out of the car, to and from the games!  On Saturday night, they always have a players' party with free pizza, subs and beer.  Chris Blevins wanted to watch Kansas State so he was planning to stay at hotel with his daughter Clara (only 13 days younger than the boys) so he also watched our boys.  That night we put them down at 7:30 p.m. and they slept until 4:30 and then back to bed until 8:00 and 8:30.  They are doing great sleeping! They usually go to bed between 7:30-8:30 and  get up at 4 or 4:30 and then again 8 or 8:30.  We feel we have a pretty good schedule going.  The weekend was a fun one, seeing friends, catching up and playing basketball.  Basketball is what brought us all together and even if we don't still have the game we once had, we still have fun giving it a go once a year!

The good old BC gang...Sarah could you look at the camera dork!
