Big Boy Bedroom

Here are a few pictures of the big boy room (which still isn't done!!). There are still a couple of things to go up on the walls and the flooring situation, and we should be set! You can't see it too well, but the bottom half of the walls is chalkboard and already full of writing and pictures! Also notice the fire engine bed that mommy did not want! But Andrew and Joseph's happiness is all that matters to mommy!

The Latest

Ok, here's the deal. Mommy wants a new computer; Daddy says NO-NO. We cannot justify a new computer when we spent $2000 on the last one, it's barely two years old and is under warranty....So they keep fighting with Best Buy. Daddy went to pick up the computer tonight and he got it home and it was still broken!!!!! So; he went back; and they took it again......Same story, different day! So mommy is typing from daddy's work computer again, so of course no pictures!!!
My new bedroom.....STILL NOT DONE. My money is on it not being finished before Joseph comes; they've only got 2 more days!! What do you expect when you leave everything to the last minute!!!??!!!
Joseph....Friday, April 6, 2007 at 0730! Mommy and Daddy have to be at the hospital at 0530! Suckers! I will be with Grandma and Grandpa Simon; snoozing. WE will not be getting up that early. After we go meet Joseph and see Mommy in the hospital we are going to Toledo for Easter. Mommy is sad that she won't see me on Easter, but it is better that way b/c she can't handle watching all the candy and soda that Grandpa gives me! Also, daddy promised mommy he will find a way to get pictures up for everyone to see the newest addition to our family. It will probably be on Monday when mommy is supposed to be allowed to come home.
Well, I think that's all for now! Love you all lots!

SORRY, NO PICTURES!

Our computer is dead, again...imagine that! This time it's the power cord again. Daddy needs to go to the store and get another one, right now mommy is updating on daddy's work computer so we can't post our pictures yet. Hopefully we'll be back up and running soon! It definately will be back before Jospeh arrives, even if mommy has to go out and buy a new computer while daddy is at work!
Love ya all!!!!!!!

Andrew's Update

Hello all! I know it's been a long time since I've posted anything so I just wanted to update everyone on what's going on in the Snowden house! Mommy and I have been sick (AGAIN!) for the past week and daddy woke up with it this morning. We are all tired of getting sick! Tomorrow it is supposed to be in the 60's; HOORAY for spring! So; mommy and I are going to spend some time OUTSIDE. We had to have a little refresher course on what outside means since we've been trapped indoors for soooo long! Mommy promises she will take pictures of me and put them up tomorrow for everyone to see! Just wait; I'm soooo big!!!!!
Baby Joseph update: my little brother will be here on April 6! I am going to go to Toledo with Grandma and Grandpa Simon on the 5th so that mommy can go into the hospital and I get to see everyone for Easter. Poor mommy, she'll be stuck in the hospital for Easter so none of Grandma Jean's good eats for her! That's what she gets for getting knocked up!
My bedroom still isn't done! Mommy and daddy say they will finish it this coming weekend. I'm not going to hold my breath; I've heard that one a few times before! To give them credit; they really couldn't finish it this weekend since we were all sick. It will be worth it when it's finished! We're still looking for a cute rug, if you have any ideas let mommy know cuz she's not having much luck!
Well; I think that is all that's been going on here; check back for pictures!

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Aunt Michelle. Sorry it's a day late. Mommy has been off of work for the past 4 days and doesn't know what day it is anymore!

Happy Birthday Beth! I am thinking of you!

Hugs and kisses to you both!
Love
Andrew

SNOWED IN!

This morning we woke up to LOTS of snow! Daddy got to stay home from work and we all got to spend some quality time together! Here are some pictures of us in the snow. It was a little hard for me cuz my snow boots are a bit too big, but I managed! There are also some pictures of me in daddy's sunglasses, I LOVE his sunglasses! The other day mommy came into the kitchen to find me sitting on the countertop with daddy's glasses on! I only got away from her for a minute and I made all the way up to the countertop!!!!!! I guess it's pretty obvious that I love to climb too!!!!!! Stay warm!!

Swim Lessons!

Swim lessons started on Saturday! Yippee!! I LOVE swim lessons; it's like a giant bath tub! Daddy had to swim with me cuz mommy hasn't been able to find a bathing suit for her big 'ol belly! Hopefully she'll have one by next week so she can get in with me! I had a lot of fun, even if it was with daddy! I did throw a bit of a temper tantrum though, I just didn't want to get out! So, mommy got a schedule of open swim times so we can go back and I can get my fill! I'll have swim lessons every Saturday morning until the end of March!

Happy belated birthday uncle John! I was thinking about you while I was at my swim lessons!!! Hope you had a great day!

Well, that's all for now, my bedroom pictures should be coming soon, we just need to find a rug and curtains and we should be done!

Pictures, pictures

I was babysitting Danielle's dog and I just love the cage!!!! Tons of fun.
And..a shot of my black and blue stitched up eye!! Even all banged up I'm cute!!!! This wasn't too bad, it was day one so it hadn't all kicked in yet...it later became EVERY shade of pink, red, purple and black! It was pretty cool.

Pictures, pictures

CHRISTMAS!

Pictures, pictures

Family time at the zoo lights before christmas!

Pictures

All the blue shirt pictures are at the aquarium, checking out the shark tank and looking at the lori's with gramps! The chair is just cute little me in mommy's favorite outfit of mine!

Pictures, pictures...

Me and daddy playing XBOX; I love that thing! Hanging with my dogs and playing football. And the best of all; me as Chicken Little for halloween!

IT'S A MIRACLE!!!

The computer is back...again...This time it's seems to actually be working; now that every single part has been replaced; some twice!!! Mommy had to work last night and has to work tonight too, but tomorrow the great update begins! There will be lots of pictures and info about me and Joseph! Just a sneak peak...I got my first stitches and a big black eye!!!!!! Christmas was great; I'm spoiled rotten. You'll love what you see!! I talk all the time now, but, only special people can understand me!!! Joseph is growing strong; mommy is a whale! As of now he will be here on April 6. Mommy and daddy moved upstairs and are working hard to get my new bedroom done; we still haven't decided if I will sleep in a bed or a crib. Daddy wants me to get a car bed but mommy thinks not so much; we'll see who wins this battle... Well; check back soon to see my shining face (unless the computer dies again!)
Hugs and kissess!
Andrew

Not working.

Ok; so it's not working to upload pictures at grandma's house...mommy will keep trying...the good news; best buy is replacing our computer; finally we have a resolution; so by next week everything should be back to normal!!! yippee! i promise, we'll get it all straightened out.

False alarm!

The computer died; again. This time it is the motherboard; again! So; no pictures tonight, but mommy is going to go to grandma's house tomorrow and put everything on. (Right now we are at aunt lesley's and mommy doesn't have all of her supplies! Tomorrow; I promise!

I'M BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FINALLY! Mommy finally got the computer back after much trouble with Best Buy (it still isn't even fixed right, but we can get online!). I'll be updating over the weekend, check back and everything should be updated by Sunday night!!!! It is going to take mommy some time since it's been sooooo long and we have LOTS of pictures to put up! Joseph is now coming on April 6. Mommy's doctor says she might not have to have a section again (yippee for mommy!) so she is going to be induced for VBAC on April 6 so Dr Mirau can be by her side just in case.... Check back Sunday; I'll have tons of stuff up!
**christmas cards went in the mail tonight!

No Posts

Sorry no posts! Our power cord to the laptop has a short and mommy and daddy are taking their sweet time replacing it. Hopefully we'll be up and running soon, right now we are updating at mommy's work!!

Boring, Boring, Boring

Me and mommy, just chillin
Well, I think that sums it up; my life is boring right now. We haven't been doing anything special. Mommy and I went shopping for a bridal shower present for Andrea's shower next weekend (bed bath and beyond is soooooo boring!!!) and we've just been hanging out! It's been raining and icky so we haven't been able to play outside much so mommy and I have just been having some bonding time. I could tell mommy just needed to get out of the house a couple of times b/c we went grocery shopping a lot more than usual...also boring... Mommy has been sick a lot too, she says the new baby is not like me; I was, of course, a perfect pregnancy and this one (Ava or Joseph) is not behaving at all. I need to put this kid in his/her place; it's breaking in on my quality play time! And, to top it all off mommy has a kidney infection (whatever that means). All I know is she is not a happy camper right now, you'd think she's getting a tooth or something! Hope everyone is great; I'll keep you updated on my boring life again soon; maybe something good will happen!!!
oh yeah; no ultrasound pics yet, mommy doesn't know how to work the scanner so we have to get daddy's help and who knows when that will happen!

I'VE GOT A SECRET

Mommy says it's time; I can spill the beans!

I'M GONNA BE A BIG BROTHER!!!!!!

He or she is coming on April 13!!!! Now I know what you're all thinking; how can they have another baby knowing it can never be as wonderful or as perfect and cute as me. It is going to be ok. I had a hard time with it at first, but like me you will come to understand that this is just one more thing that is for ME. I will mold and teach this young one to be my slave; I will batter and beat it, just like all big siblings do. Just like Jennifer and Jimmy did to mommy and Amy did to daddy. It is part of nature and I am happy to assume my role as first born and most loved big brother. If you have any questions feel free to contact me and I will put your fears to rest.
Also, if it helps YOU to feel better about this situation I would be more than happy to accept gifts in the form of bribery or in pity; toys only please; I'm not like mommy and all about the clothes.
That's all for now, I'll have mommy scan the ultrasound pictures this weekend so everyone can see my new playmate!

All in the Family!

They're a little late, but we've finally posted the pictures from seeing the family last weekend! Obvoiously I am the cutest of all!
