Weekend at Home

Back in April we finally had a weekend at home. We went to church and out for breakfast at the Urbandale Cafe, to the Bass Pro Shop with Uncle Kyle (and Flat Stanley - visiting us from Cousin Mason), and then watched Finding Nemo!

Testing out the boats at Bass Pro!

Don't I look like a big boy watching TV?

Mom and Tyler at breakfast - and I couldn't for the life of me get this picture to turn around, but I liked it anyways so here you go!

Omaha Zoo

We finally made it to Omaha to visit Aunt Carrie and Josh! We spent the weekend visiting them and their cat Scruffy. Saturday we spent the day at the Omaha Zoo. The weather was great to wonder around and Tyler seemed to take it all in. We went out for supper with Uncle Keith and Aunt Denise. We then visited the Mostek's, college friends of Allison's. It was a good weekend and we can't wait to do it again!

5 Months Old!!!

Tyler turned 5 months old during Easter, so here are a few pictures.....

And here's one of him having fun at Daycare!

Easter

Easter was a busy weekend for the Newman's. We headed back to Stanton early Friday and visited Grandma Julie at the Bank and Grandma Denise at the REC. We also stopped at the Beauty Shop with Dad and visited Great Grandma Newman. Friday night we had Easter supper at the Hallquist house, Saturday we visited the pond and went to cousin Aubrey's baby shower, and Sunday we went to Church and had dinner at the Newman house. Busy busy!

The Newman Family ready for Easter church.

Pappa Knute got Tyler laughing.....and in case you are curious, the Grandpa's are a little competitive! ;) Thank goodness it's all in good fun - so far!

Cereal and Bed Making

Tyler started eating cereal the end of March....as you can see, he really likes it! Thanks Cousin Aubrey for the awesome New York Yankees bib!

Mom and Dad were making the bed and Dad couldn't resist putting Tyler under the covers....he didn't seem to mind!

Mom bought Tyler a new Monkey outfit for the spring!

March Visitors

March also brought visitors. Grandma Julie and Grandpa John hadn't seen Tyler since the end of January so they came up for a day just to see him! Grandma helped Dad give him a bath and then played the rest of the afternoon.

Grandma Julie is a good person to sleep with!

While Uncle Kyle's attention is elsewhere, Tyler found his fingers!

Allison's college roommate Amy and her husband Lucas came to visit at the end of March. Neighbors Darcy & Abby babysat while we all went to a local establishment to race minnows....yes, I said minnows. I wish I had rememberd my camera for this one! Amy's minnow got 3rd place overall! As you can see, Tyler enjoyed just hanging out with them on their visit!

Pictures from March

In March, the Newman household had a touch of a 24-hour bug going around daycare. Tyler seemed to have it one day, and then gave it to Dad. Poor Dad. Unfortunately, the bug cancelled our trip to Aunt Carrie's house in Omaha. Here's a few pictures of how we spent part of our time...

Tyler learned how to suck his thumb pretty well...here he is showing off!

Since we couldn't go to Omaha, we had to play in our saucer....

but I guess that was tired work!

And who could resist sharing this cute picture!

And here we are again with the thumb. Incase you wondered, many of dad's friends are into hunting so we have a few camo outfits!
