Easter Weekend 2011

We started Easter 2011 off with all the "Oakley" cousins decorating eggs at Gma and Gpa Oakley's house. The next day there was an egg hunt at church, then Sunday afternoon we went to Granny and Gpa Roy's for lunch and another egg hunt. (We have gone to Granny's for Easter as long as Momma can remember!) Pics throughout the weekend are below. We also celebrated Gma Oakley and Uncle Ryan's birthdays on Friday, but I don't have pics of that, as well as a new current cousin pic! Check out other cousin's blogs to hopefully see some of those!

6 Months Stats (An Entire Month Late!)

I took Noah to the doctor for his 6 month wellness check and shots and completely forgot to post his stats! So for my own benefit later on...We weighed him naked as well as clothed to see the difference of he and Tegan. (Tegan was weighed with clothes on so I wanted to see the difference exactly, but then also get the gain since the past 2 months accurately as well as for percentiles.) But either way, we finally outweigh Tegan! Fully diapered and clothed Noah weighed 17lbs 10oz, and naked, he officailly weighed 16lbs 14oz. His weight was only in the 50th percentile and measuring 27 iinches, his lenghth was in the 75th. The little guy might just turn out to be just like his daddy! (which wouldn't be too bad, if I do say so myself!) :)

Trying to Move

Noah is starting to push up with his legs some during tummy time, but unfortunately he usually only goes backwards. He's lunged forward a couple times, but he just doesn't have it down yet. He's just kinda a lazy guy, but so cute!

Momma's New Addiction!

I got a bread machine about a week ago and absolutely love it! The first couple loaves I just baked in the machine, but learned that it tastes much better when you take the extra 5-10 minutes to put it in the oven instead. Not only do I love the machine, Brett loves it too! (He and Rachel ate 1 piece shy of an entire loaf yesterday!) Most of you know the guy lives on 2 things...bread and ice cream, so needless to say he is getting pretty close to "heaven on earth!" (Don't count on me making homemade ice cream though! Yuck!) It has been a fun process but it for sure takes practice, as you can see in the pics of my loaves below! I have made whole wheat, regular white, and the latest is a honey white french bread. Its fun easy, productive and makes the house smell fabulous! It's not very often that I get to do things that are fun as well as feeling productive! I hope it continues to be fun all the time, and I'm sure Brett does too! :)
