our little man

We're backkkkkk...

Hey Everyone!!

Yes, we are back after a long cold winter....and many many MANY months of not blogging. I thought it would be fun to start back up again, since Ezekiel is now 22 months old and is saying super funny things and just being...well...his crazy self. I have been enjoying facebook and being connected with friends that i haven't talked to for years, so that is quite fun!

I tried to add a picture on here and have been having troubles, so i decided to go ahead and blog even if i couldn't add pictures.

I have been working at our church for the past 3 months, only doing 12 hours a week which is really nice. Shiloh's mom watches Zeke for me all day Tuesdays and for a half day on Thursdays. I am the Operations Assistant, which just means that i help out Jeff Tyson who is the Operations Pastor so i do everything from ordering Easter Lilies to helping pick out stuff for our Foyer Renovation. I like it b/c i am always doing something different so it doesn't get boring.

Ezekiel has been saying lots and lots of new words, his new favorite word is "Gammy" for Grandma. He will point at our bedroom (where our computer and web cam is) and say "Gammy!" when he wants to call her which is super cute! Anna came over for a visit this morning which was so nice since the weather is super blah today.

My brother Bryan is coming for a visit on Saturday which we are really looking forward to since he hasn't been here since 2004. And Shiloh & I are going to a Shane & Shane concert on Friday night with our BFF's Jeff & Ciana and our new friends Chris & Lydia so we are super pumped about that as well.

Well...i think that's it for now, i should get to cleaning as I've put it off for most of the afternoon. Leave me comments if you are still out there reading :)

i'm one!!!!

hello everyone!! It's been so long since we've posted! Life has been very busy lately. Here are some of my pics from my 1st time in the grass...

We have been having lots of fun lately. I have learned to wave (thanks to Grandpa Tompkins) and i just started clapping yesterday for mommy during dinner.

We have had a very busy month and a half since we last posted. The first 3 weeks in April were spent mostly working on the extra room in the basement. we got that finished and then Grandma & Grandpa Tompkins came to visit for 2 whole weeks! We did lots of fun stuff...went shopping, to the Children's Museum, Omaha Zoo and of course celebrated my 1st b-day! Lots of fun stuff.

They are back home now and we also celebrated Mommy's b-day (she is getting kinda old...28!) and then today was Mother's Day and Daddy & I bought her some pretty flowers.

Well we have another busy week planned as Mommy is helping a lady in the church with her daycare for the next 2 weeks (she just had surgery and cannot lift) which means i get to play with some new friends while mommy works hard!

Happy Mother's Day to all our friends....we love & miss everyone!

a note from zeke...

Hello Friends & Family! Hope you enjoyed my video of me playing piano. It is still attached at the bottom of the posts. Here are some new pics of us:

We are going to be kinda busy this next week as we are finishing the room in the basement, so i thought i would let everyone know. Hopefully you can enjoy these pics until mommy posts again. We have also been sick, pray that we get better soon. Hope everyone is enjoying the beautiful weather! i can't wait to go on my first bike ride with mommy & daddy (i heard they are buying me a bike trailer to ride along with them...shhh don't tell them i know!)

Until next time...

new puppy...

Auntie Ariann & Uncle Mike got a new puppy on saturday! Yippe, i have another furry friend to play with!

just came home

my new little friend...

he's so fuzzy...

we can play on the floor together!

I think his name is going to be Bubba (short for Bubbagonouish??) He is learning to be house trained right now and Tina (their other doggie) is showing him how things work around the house. SO fun! I'm learning to pet him nicely and not pull his ears too hard. He is so funny, he tried to eat my sock..silly puppy!

ezekiel's 2nd swing...

Well tonight Ezekiel and i ventured out to the find another park near us.
I say this is his 2nd swing b/c we went for a walk yesterday with Grandma & Grandpa Menter, Ariann, Mike and Tina and of course Daddy too!! We walked and walked and WALKED and found a park with lots of fun stuff, but we forgot our camera, so tonight Ezekiel and i walked to a closer park and i remembered my camera this time. He had much more of a reaction tonight he was laughing and smiling..so GREAT!

We couldn't stay too long b/c it was getting late, but i thought i'd share some pics. I wish i could put some video on here, does anyone know how?
