Bye Bye Bauters

My parents were in town this week and it was very nice having the help and just relaxing. My dad worked in the yard (instructing us that our landscaping wouldn't die if we just watered once in a while), we took in a Toledo Mudhens baseball game and ate some yummy food. Thanks again for the help Mom and Dad, see you next month!!

Brycen had his 6 month checkup this week and the Dr. says he is doing really well.
Weight...17lbs. 10ozs. (50-75th percentile)
Height...26" (50th percentile)
My only real concern was his constant spitting/throwing up. He does it all the time and not necessarily right after he eats. Apparently I was a thrower uper so she told me not to worry! There is nothing like thrown up carrots all over...

Welcome Hoskins Family

This last weekend was Les's company picnic at the Toledo Zoo. The Toledo Zoo is ranked as one of the top 10 so it was fun to take Brycen there for the first time. Then that evening we had a babysitter for the first time so Les and I could go to a neighborhood party!! Brycen was so tuckered out from the zoo that he slept the entire time for the sitter...lucky her.

We are also so excited to welcome our good friends the Hoskins family to Toledo. They are good friends of ours from Amarillo, that are also relocating here with Owens Corning. We are so excited to have them here and can't wait to start up some poker games again. WELCOME HOSKINS FAMILY

Thanks for the great time!

We had such a great time in Utah. I must give a few shout out's:
My parents...Thank you soooo much for everything. I don't think that you realized how much stuff a 5 month could accumulate! Thank you for letting us turn your house upside down for so long. And most of all, thank you for watching Brycen so Les and I could enjoy a much needed full day to ourselves! Mom, thank you also for doing Brycens wash every single day... I can promise you he won't get that treatment at home!
Betsy...Thank you for giving up your room to us for sooo long. Thank you also for being such a great Aunt.
Linda... Thank you for saving us when we were stranded in Cincinnati... It could have been a long night, and it was a perfect end(in theory) to a good vacation!
Uncle Bill and my good friend Whitney...Thank you for all the great pics that you took of Brycen. I love them!!
Below are some of the MANY pictures taken while we were there. There were so many good ones that I can't choose. I will put some others in a slide show when I get a chance.
