Here is some good ol randomness for ya!
Josh had fathers & sons with Aaron for the first time...I heard it was cold but that they both had alot of fun. It is a good way to start out the camping for the year (he says)



Annelise is out of school now. Two of her teachers cried when we took these pictures. She has been so lucky to have good teachers and a good school to go to. She loved being the peacock in the school program, and will miss school- and so will I!




& Annelise is almost done with her dance lessons- her recital is on Saturday but I took a couple of pics after dress rehearsal. I will probably post the official pic when I get it. It is funny how it hurts my feelings- but she doesn't want to dance anymore. She tells me that her teacher is mean, and I think it is probably true because her teacher is the owner and is strict, but good teacher. (maybe not the best for little girls though)

And Cole is just so sweet- he is just the love of my life right now. Do you love how he sucks his thumb? I am still deciding if I am going to break him of the habit now, or wait until he is a year old. What do you think?

Here is the latest and greatest from the Yeates family...
1. Cole is now eating solids! He sure hated rice cereal but likes most of everything else. (esp. fruits) I am afraid I have another sweet tooth on my hands.




2. I got to clean Aaron's teeth for the first time last Thursday, and of course did Josh's and Annelise's the same day. There are some perks of working in a dental office. Aaron was so much better than I thought he would be...he loved the bubble gum prophy paste and Annelise hated the cookie dough prophy paste. Can't say I would blame her. And just to report, no cavities for the whole family!


3. We made our first venture to the zoo for the year. It was actually kinda cold outside, but it was such a good day to go because it wasn't too hot for all the animals to be out! Aaron loved the monkeys (they have alot in common with each other) and Annelise love the peacock and elephant. When we passed the rhinos it stunk so bad that Aaron kept asking me, "where poops?" Hmmm, I just left that one alone. It was nice cuz we got to go with Kim, my sister-in-law and her kids (we love our cousins!) and Jen Strong and her cute kids. And of course I caved and payed extra to have the kids ride the carousel and the train. It was a good trip and gave me confidence to try more with the three kids.



4. Last thing is we found a snake in our backyard. Annelise was terrified but curious, and Aaron had absolutely no fear and picked it up! But here-in lies the debate, Josh called it a GARDNER snake and I think it is called a GARTER snake. So who is right? What do you think? (ps...I am always right by the way)
