Happy Birthday, Luna!

Luna blows out the candles on her princess cake.


The birthday girl goes for it!

I'm loving Pepper's awesome expressions and smiles.

We were very pleased that Luna was celebrating her second birthday locally, so we could join in the festivities. She is such a big girl and so sweet and friendly. Zeke loved all the balloons and especially the loot from the pinata.

The Half-Way Mark

We have just now hit 20 weeks so thought it was time for a bump picture or two.

A Little Doughnut Celebration

It was a busy morning. We had a very early ultrasound appointment, followed by a doctor's appointment a little later. Since we had a little break in between, we decided to celebrate a little with a doughnut. Zeke even got to pick out his own (pink frosting!) and enjoyed eating it all by himself. He is going to be so wired later on...

The Wee One

Today was our official, midterm ultrasound. The little guy was posing for all he was worth, giving us every angle we were looking for and cooperating in general. I'm sure that will all end in another 20 weeks. It looks like he has incredibly long legs and was kicking the whole time. Zeke got to watch and kept practicing saying "baby" and "brother". Happily, everything looks good and healthy, so I couldn't be happier.

Little Shopper

On our excursion to Andy's Market today, we let Zeke push a little cart instead of riding in a big one. He was pretty excited to have free range of the store and tried to run away a few times. But it was really fun helping him pick out produce and add it to his cart. Thanks, Andy's!

The Rugged, Outdoorsy Type

This is my fort! No girls allowed, mom.



Ezekiel has been enjoying the warmish, spring weather and the chance to get outside more often. I'm not going to lie, we're enjoying it too! Lately he has been visiting some new horse friends and doing some general exploration. Hopefully much more of this to come.

Zekey Two Feathers

This juice may have contributed to some craziness later.

Three handsome braves.


Sharing his headdress with Nana.

Zeke works on dressing up his shoes.

Papa brought along a fun craft project, so this afternoon the guys sat down and made headdresses. Then Zeke got some face paint and tore around the house for the rest of the evening.

Sabbath

Impromptu family portrait.

Can't get enough story time.

Showing off for Nana.

Making friends with Abigail.

Beautiful Brown Dog.

What a lovely Sabbath day! Zeke spent most of the afternoon in the park with Nana and Papa (I may have been sleeping!) and the puppies. Thanks, Nana for all the great photos.

More Friday Fun

Testing the swing.

Abigail and Ezekiel enjoy a good story with Papa.

His joy is uncontainable.

It really was a great Friday. Nana and Papa showed up for a weekend visit and even brought along Abigail and Oliver. Zeke was over the moon.

Chickies!

Awaiting their new home.

Enjoying their warm and cozy new home.

We were so excited to head to the ranch supply store and pick up baby chicks this morning. We got some Black Sex Links. We were hoping for a rooster, since Zeke loves them so much. Alas, I think we got some other variety of chick instead. I guess we'll see.

There You Have It


We got to take a peek at my little occupant today. Looks like Zeke is going to have his very own little brother. So much joy! (And can you believe I post pictures like this on the internet?)

Bathtime Bravery



Zeke has been getting braver and braver about putting his head under the water. (Mommy is proud, since that is still a big deal to her.) Without any coaxing, he's been putting his ears and mouth under water. And of course, blowing bubbles.

Beater-Licking Good


Tonight while making her amazing Strawberry Cheesecake (with chocolate drizzle!), Nelita let Zeke lick the beaters. He seemed to think it was a good idea.

A Current Breakfast

The Crawford men looking bright-eyed.


Zeke and Tot chase each other around a bit.


The Currents had us over for an awesome Sunday morning breakfast. We might have forgotten about the time change so had to hustle a bit. After breakfast Zeke got to help Cheris give Tatertot a bath and then helped him dry off.

Zeke Learns

Pointing out some cakes!

Playing a counting game.





We stopped by to see Jesse and Rachel this afternoon. Ezekiel spent some quality time with Rachel and Jesse snapped these photos (and video!).

Sabbath School Buds

We got to take Kennedi with us to Sabbath School this morning. Everyone in her house was sick and she was feeling anxious to get out. The rode back there, staring at each other through their shades and holding hands half the time.

Just Formalizing Some Documents

We spent some time trapped in a small conference room this afternoon. Once Zeke got weary of exploring the stash of toys, he decided that he would join in the fun and sign some papers. He is really good at it.

A Morning at the Park


Feeding the ducks at the pond.


Good buds holding hands.

Julie and Kennedi invited us to go to the park today. It was a perfectly sunny spring morning and the ducks were very happy to see us. The kids took their time playing on the swings and slides and climbing about. We'll have to do this again.
