The New Baby

Saturday my neice, Ashlynn Vanderzyden, was born to Scott's brother and sister-in-law who live in Highlands Ranch, CO (about an hour south of where we live). We were all so excited for the new addition to the Vanderzyden Clan. :)

So, we decided we needed to go visit the new baby cousin for Ally and Tyler. The kids were so excited that they had a new cousin. On our way to the hospital, we stopped at Target to pick up a few gifts for the new baby. Ally came inside with me while the boys waited in the car. As we were heading to the card and gift wrap aisle, I told Ally that we needed to get a congratulations card for Aunt Nilda and Uncle John. Ally said "No, mommy. We need to get a birthday card for the new baby. It is her Birthday!". So we got a cute birthday card perfect for the new cousin.

When we got to the hospital, we told the kids that they could not touch the baby and had to hold thier hands behind thier backs. They were so excited, they held thier hands behind thier backs, but got thier noses as close to the bassinet as humanly possible. :)

We are all just so excited for anyother Vanderzyden in the family!

My little girl is growing up...

How can five years pass by right before your eyes? It is amazing how life really does fly by. Tonight I went the kindergarten parent meeting for Allyson...my little girl is going to kindergarten in the fall...how is that possible? Yesterday she was in diapers and sitting in the bouncy chair with a toothless grin...today, she is writing her name and telling me how to spell mom and dad. I am amazed at how fast they change right before your eyes.

My first blog

Ok, so the only time I have ever blogged is when my dad was going through his cancer battle and I was keeping friends and family updated...I guess we'll see how this goes...
