BLAISE LEROY KIST

This little guy is kicking and punching so much...it just seems weird to keep calling him "him." Just wanted to let our friends and family know that we have officially named "him" Blaise Leroy Kist. Blaise is a name that I really like. One Sunday we were in Mass and they announced that it was time for the Blessing of the Throats. A blessing done by Saint Blaise. I told Kevin that this was a sign. It was a boy and we should name him Blaise. Leroy is after my Grandpa Roseberry that passed away in October. I like to think my Grandpa called in a few favors after his passing because we found out we were expecting 4 weeks after that. Grandpa was crazy about Preston and I know he will be smiling down on us as Blaise is welcomed to our family.

THUNDER 2009

We had my family over for a cookout Saturday to celebrate Thunder. The boys had such a great time playing outside. I was so proud of Preston for sharing his Gator. He really isn't very good at driving just yet, so I think he enjoyed being driven around.

EASTER AT GRAMMY & PAPAWS

These pictures are not exactly in the order that I had planned, but after having to reload them 4 times, this is as good as it's going to get!

Preston & I checking out the goodies inside of the eggs.

Hunting for eggs. This year was much more fun, Preston actually understood the concept of an Easter Egg Hunt!

Here's all the boys (Brooks included) one more boy to come this summer!

HAPPY EASTER!

The Easter Bunny brought Preston some goodies.

Preston is really into trucks right now. He was so excited about the garbage truck.

A chocolate rabbit. Yum!

Lining up the new trucks.

COLORING EGGS

Coloring eggs for Easter. We love to color them, but we never care much about eating them.

The shrink wrapped eggs were really cute!

Hard at work coloring eggs.

SPRING PICTURES

We went to Click on Saturday to get some spring pictures. They turned out so cute. I always have trouble choosing which ones to buy. This was one of my favorites. He looks like such a little man with his hand in his pocket. I love the laugh and profile shot. He had a blast playing with the rabbit.
Another favorite picture. Too cute!

MORE ULTRASOUND PICS

Last Thursday, we had a follow-up ultrasound to recheck a few things. They said he looked like a very healthy little guy.

Here is the profile shot that I love.

Kevin & I found this picture a little scary! You can actually see his eye. Yikes!

Here is the foot that kicks me at night when I'm trying to go to sleep! I actually love it!

UNDER THE WEATHER

Kevin was a little under the weather tonight. When he crashed on the floor, Preston decided to gather everything nearby and pile it on Daddy. As he threw things on the pile he would say "I yove you, Dadda."

Crawling underneath to check on Daddy.

THE NEXT AMERICAN IDOL

Preston decided he would grab a microphone (a plastic dog bone) and act like he was singing along with American Idol. He would even throw in a little booty shaking every now and then.
