Help for Haiti

My friend Cindy, over at SO SWEET GIVEAWAYS has set up a way to donate money to help Haiti. Kathi, a nurse and volunteer, is leaving on the 12th of March for Haiti as part of the Healing Hands for Haiti volunteer group. They are in great need of monetary donations, medicines and various other medical supplies. You can donate money by going to Cindy's site "So Sweet Giveaways", and read other information or ask Cindy any questions you have. If you have any money to give, please do, every little bit counts. Thanks.

6 Months Old

Tyrel was officially six months old on the 23rd, but due to kids with diarrhea, throw up and lots of boogers, that day came and gone...but don't worry, all is well now (for the most part). Although since I have already started this post by sharing too much info, I might as well add that bath time tonight consisted of Tyrel peeing AND pooping all over my pants and the bathroom floor. At least he did it BEFORE I stuck him in the water, I would rather have cleaned up all that, than had to drain the tub and rinse poop off the other two. So anyway, here is my little six month old. Can't believe he is already half way to a year. Here is what he can do (sorry if it is boring, it is mostly for my records): He can sort of sit by himself now, but it kind of ends up looking like he folded himself in half. He is getting some hair now, and I KNOW teeth are coming any day now; however, I think I say that every month. He is eating baby cereal and bananas now. He is rolling over like crazy and scooting - not crawling- but he is getting places. He laughs a lot and is very ticklish. He LOVES watching Mikelle and Jonah play. And as sad as this sounds, he is somewhat getting interested in TV, which I am secretly excited about because then I can put on a movie and have ALL the kids watch it. He loves playing with toys and is starting to grab at everything. He is also doing baby talk all the time, which I think is SO cute!

Visit with Matt's family

Matt's mom, sister, and niece and nephew came for a visit and we had so much fun. Here are just a couple pictures from the visit:

Denver Zoo

Here are pictures from our trip to the Denver Zoo. We went on free day, but because it was a little cold outside, it really wasn't that crowded; and luckily for us, it really wasn't too cold.
