Snowden Boys Update

We're keeping busy here! Joseph is getting so big, so fast! Mommy calls him tubby tubby b/c he's sooooo fat! She has to go shopping for some new clothes b/c he's getting so big! I'm not the best at counting but I think he has 3 chins! And his arms and legs look like sausages! I'm doing well too. I am allergic to my sunscreen so I am covered in red splotches (ALL OVER) but they are finally starting to go away. Once they are all cleared up I will get to spend time outside again! Mommy and I are working hard trying to decide what color to paint the living room and planning all our household projects. Have fun everyone!
Love ya!
Andrew

Random Pics

Brotherly love! Hiding the ball. The joy of sweet corn! Party in the park with daddy!

Bath Time Fun!

We took our first bath together! This kid is a water hog! Also; I'm not all about sharing my toys and having to hold back on the splashing! Joseph loved it though! He's a water baby just like me!

Love ya!

Andrew

Afternoon in the park

Yesterday after daddy got home from work we went to the park. We had so much fun playing and feeding the ducks! Joseph slept the whole time (as you can see from the picture that mommy isn't smart enough to rotate). It was great fun for all!! I hope you guys are all having as much fun!

Love ya!

Weekend Away!

Last weekend we all went to Archbold for Jared's first communion. (Congratulations Jared!) We had a great time visiting with the family; especially Grandpa Simon! Joseph and I like him and Grandma better than we like our parents! We stayed at Sauder Inn and went swimming (except for mommy b/c of her vac). We also went to the new playground with 26 foot slides! I had so much fun!!!!! Jospeh just sat in his seat and watched; he's still a blob and is not very interactive yet. That's ok though; I have enough fun for both of us! Mommy forgot the camera so we only have one picture to post that Grandma took for us. It is our first family picture with the four of us!!! We will be getting our pictures done sometime in the near future and I will have mommy post those too. That's about all that is going on here; we just hang out and play! We'll keep you updated!

Love,

Andrew

Finally Home!

We're all finally home and settling in! Starting tummy time early! Brotherly Love and nap time. We love our mom so much we took a nap at the same time!!!!!

We'll keep the pictures coming and try to keep the updates frequent. Right now we are all just adjusting to the new living situation and enjoying daddy's time off of work and spending time together as a family.

Welcome to the world!

Baby Joseph finally arrived on April 6, 2007 @ 0758 weighing 8 pounds and 20 inches long with a head full of brown hair and beautiful blue eyes.

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

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!
