Our 3 kids

I thought this was a funny picture of Miles, Caden and Alexandra that Tim took. It truly captures our kids personalities!!

Baby and Baseball, Oh My!

Our lives are not only busy with having Alexandra. We are also busy with baseball with Miles and Caden. The baseball season started back in February with practices and uniform pick-up. Now we are at the fields with both boys each having 2 games a week. Miles turned 7 this year and had to move up to the next age group. He is on the Valley Pirates. Miles hit a HOME RUN at the first game of the year. This is Caden's first year playing ball. He is on the Pee Wee Angels. Tim is the Manager for Caden's team and pitches to all the boys on the team. And I am the team mom, to add to the baseball fun. On Friday night, I was in the dugout holding Alexandra with one hand and feeding Caden a corn dog with the other hand. One of the parents came up to me and said that I can do it all!! So until baseball season is over in June, Alexandra's first months of life and the rest of us will be living at the baseball fields.

Our Sweet Baby Girl!

Alexandra will be 3 weeks tomorrow. The time has gone by fast. She seems so much bigger already. She has gained her birth weight back. But she is still waking up 2 to 3 times a night. It looks like she is going to have blue eyes and some curly hair.

Celebrating 1 week

Last night we celebrated Alexandra's 1 week birthday. The boys helped their Grandma Doll make cupcakes for the "party." Alexandra was kind of a party pooper - enjoying her beauty sleep more than the party - but the boys were excited to celebrate and eat their cupcakes.

Hello World!

More pictures of Alexandra. She's a different baby when her eyes are open.

Alexandra is here!

Introducing our little girl!

Alexandra JoeAnn Doll was born Monday, March 12 at 4:22 a.m. (right after her daddy got back from his paper route.) She weighed in at 8 lbs. 2 oz. and was 21 1/2" long. She is a good eater and sleeper. And just adorable!!

Meet Alexandra!!

Tim surprised me on Valentines Day by taking me to a 3-D ultrasound place to see our baby. It was the best gift ever! We can't wait until she is here but we will admire these pictures while we are waiting. These pictures are AWESOME!!

Tim calls her our "American Idol" baby. (The bottom picture.)

I have the best friends in the world!

I just need to say that I have some of the best friends in the world. Yesterday April and Naomi and Linda planned and gave me the best baby shower. From the invitations to the food to the games to EVERYONE who came - I felt truly blessed and loved. My friends are the greatest and I don't know if I could make it with out you some days. And a huge THANK YOU to everyone who filled up my house with so many PINK clothes and other much needed baby supplies.

Kids say the most funniest and most innocent things

My mom is always saying you need to write down all the funny things that the boys say or you will forget them. So here is the most recent one from Miles.

We had toilet trouble last week and Tim had to run to Home Depot for a new part. While he was out he went over to Taco Bell for a late snack. He brought me home a Carmel Apple Empanada. He didn't bring the boys home anything since it was almost bedtime. Yet the boys wanted something to eat since it was from Taco Bell. They wanted to know what my treat was. We told them it was an empanada but I was unwilling to share because I am the mom and pregnant.

A few days later we were all in the car and Miles asks Tim "What was that special treat you gave mom in bed the other night?" Tim and I looked at each other and tried not to laugh -- but we were also trying to figure out what in the world he was talking about. After a few minutes we figured out he was asking about the empanada -- and nothing else (thank goodness!)
