Visiting with Great Gpa & Gma...

Saturday we headed to GR so Bart could attend the Church Ministries Conference. The kids and I tagged along so we could go visit with my Grandparents and my parents. My grandparents had not seen Evan yet.

We arrived around 9:00 AM, just in time for pancakes, YUM! :-)

Thanks for the wonderful visit, Grandma & Grandpa!

Family pics...

Me with my two big boys.
Our happy little family!
P.S. Evan at his 2 month check up weighed 13 lbs. 13 oz. and is 24" long. What a big boy!

A month's worth of updates...

So, being a Mom of two boys, definitely keeps me busy! As you may have noticed, I have not had time to update in over a month. So here it is in several snapshots, some picts of our boys getting bigger and doing more...

Evan has the cutest smile that can melt your heart!
Cooing and talking to Mommy

One of Ethan's new "favorite" corners of the house.... his "Time Out" corner.

Brother time

Ethan, watching for the trucks out his bedroom window

Ethan LOVES to help in the kitchen! He has to be "UP" whenever I'm doing anything.

Are they brothers or what?? Check out that identical expression! LOL

Grandma & Evan snuggle time.

Evan, what a sweetheart, and a CUTIE!

So expressive, just like his brother!

I LOVE THIS PIC! Check out both of their big gorgeous eyes!

"Are you thinking what I'm thinking, Daddy?"

Bart & Ethan going out to play in the snow Tuesday, March 10th. Yes we got MORE snow!

Ethan & Spencer playing outside in the snow!

Bart riding John Pike's snowmobile on the property.

Ethan is reading letters ALREADY! He can identify over half of the alphabet in books, and on other things, like Juice cartons. He's pointing out the letter "O" here. He's SO SMART!

Finally, Ethan learning to undress himself.

I guess that's our "life" here in several snapshots! Busy, Busy, BUSY, but surviving!

Super Bowl Sunday...

We went to my parents house last Sunday night so they could all see Evan (& Ethan too).
Here are the 7 Haase cousins...

Part of the half-time show was in 3D...

Kaitlyn holding Evan. He wasn't too happy though...

Evan's getting bigger...

Here is Evan taking his very first bottle last weekend. He did very well, and drank 3 ounces.

Bart fed Evan his very first bottle.

Evan's getting SO big; 5 weeks old and growing every day!

Baby Dedication

Last Sunday, February 1st, 2009, we had a baby dedication during our Morning Service at Rollins. We "dedicated" Evan to the Lord and us to raising him in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

Bart, myself, and Evan.

Nick, Michelle and Logan (They have an older boy, Tyler, who is just 2 months older than Ethan.)

Jason, Emily & Madeline (They have a older girl, Annabelle, who is just 10 days older than Ethan.)

Grandma Brenda, holding Evan after the service. They match! ;-)

Big Boy Ethan....

Ethan gets to go to Puggles now in Awana. The program is for 2 year olds, but since he is so close, and he's the only one in the nursery, he gets to go early. He likes to go so he can play with the kids, toys, do puzzles, sing songs, do crafts, etc.

Ethan has begun telling us when he has gone potty in his pants, so we're giving him the opportunity to sit on the toilet every now and then. I guess this is the beginning of potty training.
