Spring is Coming

Thanks to the beautiful spring-like weather this February, the boys and I have finally been able to get outside and run off some pent up energy; much to this mommy's relief!

Braden working on swinging by himself- per his request.

Braden loves Mondays- it means lots of garbage truck sightings!

Braden & Kelan: the center of mommy's focus.

Happy 3rd Birthday, Danny!

We sang, we cheered, we cried, we laughed, we celebrated! Our good buddy, Danny, turned three on Saturday. Braden and I played the morning away with our friends, Adrienne and Carson. We socialized with friends, old and new. Great party, Cindy!

Dan is a big Thomas the Tank Engine fan too!

A Quick Snap

This was a quick snap Mommy took of Kelan yesterday using her iPhone.
Kelan's 2 top teeth are poking through!
He's 10 months old tomorrow.
Hooray!

Happy Birthday, Ellie!

At the end of January, Braden and I helped celebrate our friend, Ellie's, 3rd birthday. We played the night away in a room full of giant jumpy houses and slides. Braden loved it! After the running around, we ate pizza and donned party hats. A good time was had by all.

Get your party hat on!

Kelan's 9 Months Old

What a wonderful whirlwind the last nine months have been!
Kelan has certainly, almost literally, hit the ground running
since the day he joined our family.
I LOVE being the mommy of two boys.

As of today's pediatrician appt:
21 lbs. and 30 inches long
50th & 95th percentiles respectively
He's our happy, healthy little boy.

Here Kelan Patrick is showing off his cruising ability.

Our big smiler!

He's perfected the speed and agility of his crawl-
much to big brother's disappointment.
We spend A LOT of time working on sharing.
But they'll work it out in the next 18 years or so, right?

Christmas PJs

Mrs. Claus sent both boys Christmas pj's to wear during this holiday season.
Braden particularly loved opening the special packages, which were sent in the mail,
and reading the hand-written card from Santa's "right hand" woman.

Love the serious look too!

We hope Mrs. Claus knows how much she is loved and appreciated!
She is a special part of the Christmas magic at our house!

The Fletcher Family Tree

Our family had a great time searching for the "perfect" Christmas tree.
Most of our time on this cold, December Sunday was focused on Daddy chasing down the overly excited 2 1/2 year old, while attempting not to lose him in the mini-forest.
Meanwhile, Mommy had little brother strapped to her back
looking for a tree that was just right.
Mission Accomplished!

On your marks, get set, GO!

This is our: It's cold, we found the tree, now hurry up, take the picture
so we can get back in the car photo!

and our tech saavy little Kelan all too aware that the camera's flash is about to go off.
He's learned to look for the red light.
