Week in Review

It was a big week in our world...Trigg turned 6 months old this week! That is a "6" on his tie...but when he is sitting it is hard to see.
Trigg is definitely thrilled about hitting the 6 month mark!

Being older now, he gets to try some food! We ground up some oats and had some oatmeal!

Sitting patiently in his high chair...

...and down the hatch it goes! Day one of food was a success!

We also got all dressed up for Easter service at church!

...more food. Since Trigg is new to this whole eating game, I am modeling for him how to "open wide" because here comes the airplane!

Midway through the week we hit a cold spell, the temps fell from highs in the 80's to highs in the 50's. We had 3 night with a freeze warning so our roses, peonies, and hydrangea's all got blankets to help them sleep through the night.

We also played with our car and truck this week, well dad played with them and Trigg watched me roll them around the room and drive them into his feet!

We tried a new recipe this week that was fantastic, BBQ Chicken Pizza (thank you Pinterest!) (for some reason blogger keeps putting this picture on it side...sorry)

We also played a lot of air guitar this week...well we play a lot of "air" instruments: air electric guitar, air bass, air drums, air banjo, air piano, air trumpet...

We ended the week with our 6 month check up at the doctor and Trigg passed with flying colors!

6 Months!

Trigg turned 6 months old! So we busted out the 6 month tie and snapped a few pictures. It was pretty windy outside, so we opted for some pictures in his room.
We needed to get a little warmed up to the camera first...
Then out came the smiles and laughs!

Trigg has definitely found his feet and likes to grab a hold of them!Since we couldn't see the "6" very well on his tie, we tried a few pictures laying down...

"What do you mean you can't see my tie when I'm sitting..."

"How about now..."

It's hard to believe that Trigg is already 6 months old...the time has definitely gone by quickly! It seems like he is changing everyday and doing something new!

Easter

Our church had lots of Easter services, we decided to go Saturday evening. Trigg all dressed and ready for church!
Here we are in our Easter outfits!

Sunday, we headed down to Indianola. Aunt Christa and Trigg are excited about the Easter egg hunt!

Morgan showing me the egg that she colored blue...with a butterfly sticker. She made sure to show me her fancy earrings (her daddy picked them out for her!)

Trigg is super excited about his Easter basket with new photo album!

After lunch, we headed outside for the egg hunt. Grandpa sure did a good job at hiding the eggs!

Piper and Morgan searching the yard for pink and blue eggs!

Morgan had to search low and high...and with a little help from her dad, she can get the eggs that were hidden up high!

...she found another one!

Trigg was napping for the main egg hunt, but once he woke up he managed to find a few eggs!

Found 'em!

Happy Easter!

Grandma and Grandpa with Trigg

After the egg hunt, Trigg wanted to test out the swing...he loved it!

We had a great Easter, lots of fun, good food and plenty of laughs. Hope you had a great Easter too!

Week in Review

This week brought more sunshine and more plants in bloom! I cut some lilacs from our bush to bring inside!
Trigg sporting his shorts and short sleeves early in the week.

Last Sunday we had some friends over for lunch on the deck and kabobs on the grill!

As the week progressed the temperatures started to get cooler...well the 60's and 70's instead of the 80's, so it is still really nice spring weather! Trigg wearing his elephant on a skateboard t-shirt!

We got out the mesh bag with an ice cube to help that little tooth that is coming in...Trigg loved it!

What a dude, chillin on the couch with his ice cube!

The thing about ice...it melts and the elephant got a bath. No big deal, because once Trigg finished his ice cube, it was bath time for him too!

We also found out this week, that Trigg might suffer from seasonal allergies like his dad. After some walks and having the house opened up, Trigg was sneezing, runny nose and red watery eyes...poor little guy. We have our 6 month appointment coming up, so we are going to check with the doctor and hopefully fight these allergies!

That pretty much wraps up our week, Good Friday service tonight at church and then Easter! Hope you had a good week too!

Spring is in bloom!

With today's high temperature in the upper 80's or lower 90's, it was a great day to be outside enjoying spring! We headed down to Water Works park to walk around the arboretum. With more than 1,200 flowering crab apple trees, it was so much fun to see spring in full bloom!

Trigg was very interested in the flowers!

White, pink, red...all sorts of crab apples were in bloom!

We found a shady spot to play for a little bit...Trigg was all smiles!

Trigg and I chillin in the grass!

The trees in full bloom

On the way home, we stopped at Drake campus, they have lots of tulips in full bloom. Heather told Trigg all about tulips and we can't wait for this year's Tulip Time (hopefully there will still be some tulips left!)

Trigg checking out all that was going on.

Trigg trying to get a little closer look...

We had a great day checking out all that is blooming around town. We would highly recommend a drive through Water Works...the trees are amazing! It's hard to believe everything that is in bloom and it is only April 1st!
