<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times;"></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To keep the long story short, here's how it went: <span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #222222;">I had been contracting since Sunday (the 7th) at 7 am into Monday morning. Most of Sunday they were between 15 and 30 minutes apart but they never stopped the whole day. Ron wanted to venture over to U of I's Vet Med School for their Open House and also wanted to take the boys to see a tiger that was over by our house. I relented and went hoping that the contractions would start to come sooner. They didn't, so we had planned a date night earlier in the week and decided to go. We hit up Alexander's for some good steak and then went to see Taken 2. I was pretty uncomfortable both places but managed to make it through, I'm sure Ron's hands were tired from me squeezing them everytime I felt a contraction! </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #222222;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #222222;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Around 5:30 am, the contractions were finally about 5 minutes apart. Needless to say, it was sleepless night for both of us, especially me. Ron called his brother Dwayne to come over so that he could help walk Ronald to the bus stop. As soon as he came, we left so that we could drop Talin off at daycare before I went to the hospital. When we got there, the nurse said I was 6-7 cm dilated and around 8:30 I FINALLY got my epidural (thank goodness!!). My regular doctor was on vacation, so the doctor on call was my next best option. She was super busy and had to do a C-section before me but came back and broke my water about 9:30. I pushed for about 45 minutes (the baby was still pretty far up) and at 10:50, Braden was born. 7 lbs, 2 oz., 19 1/2 inches, tons of hair. Since everything appeared to be alright, we were able to leave the hospital by 3 the next day. Definitely one of the easiest labor/recovery I've experienced.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #222222;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #222222;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ronald and Talin have been very excited to hold their little brother. They can't seem to keep their hands off of him. Before they go anywhere, they have to make sure they give him a kiss and Talin loves to sing to him. It's been very cute watching them together and I can't wait to see what life has in store for us in the coming years. In the meantime, it's back to diaper duty and sleepless nights!!</span></span><br />

Since we didn't have plans to really go anywhere big this summer, we decided to take the boys to Chicago and explore some places we've talked about going. As you can see, LegoLand was definitely a destination. The boys loved it and of course we had to get a Ninjago toy to go. We also went to Medieval Times. My parents have been several times and we thought the boys might finally be old enough. Turns out we were right. Talin loved the food and Ronald loved the sword fighting. It was a huge hit! We also hit up Brookfield Zoo and Benihana while there. On our way home, we stopped by the Reiser family house for Avery's 1st birthday. He's an awesome little boy and it was good to finally see them, it's been way too long! Needless to say, I was exhausted by the time the weekend was over but I definitely got my exercise in. More importantly, the boys had a great time and we all got to enjoy each other.</div>

I just had to share these photos even though they are a few months old. Ronald had his preschool graduation ceremony and it was pretty darn cute. They sang the state song (quite a feat for 5 year olds) and received a diploma. Ronald will definitely miss his friends from The Caring Place but luckily some of them have younger brothers and sisters so we will still get to see them during pick-up. He's had some awesome teachers and has learned so much. I can't wait to see what he learns in kindergarten. By the way, he told everyone that when he gets older, he wants to be a veterinarian. I didn't even know he knew what that word meant :)</div>

Ron completed his first sprint triathlon this summer and had a blast. I think there will be many more in his future, as long as I will let him invest in a bike! He did really, really well and actually trained for it. Below are some pics from the race. As you can tell, he was pretty sweaty so no one wanted to really touch him in the pics :) Looking forward to cheering you on in many, many more races boo!</div>

As many of you know, Ronald (my husband) was a wrestler in high school and college. Well, the boys learned this and want to follow in his footsteps. I am a bit hesitant as wrestling season is usually during basketball season and I was so hoping to get at least one interested in playing. One of the good things about them wrestling is that their fighting is now much more organized. Instead of punching and kicking, they try to double-leg or pin each other.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This was Ronald's first season and he did really well. Even though he's 4, he wrestled many 5 and 6 year olds. He was definitely the lightest at many meets but he's a pretty fierce competitor. Now if we want him to eat something, we'll tell him that the other wrestlers eat it to get strong too and then he'll try it. Talin so badly wants to wrestle but has to wait until he turns 4 which is at the very end of this next wrestling season. It's going to be so hard for him to watch. He actually got to wrestle at one of the matches in the Spring and did really, really well. </div>

The boys and I have been very busy but we thought let you back in on our lives. We are excited to welcome our third boy this coming October...and no, we don't have a name yet! Ronald just started Kindergarten and is becoming such a big boy. Talin is still at The Caring Place, driving his teachers crazy and learning something new everyday. Ron is still at Carle and loving his job and I'm still in school (my fourth year) and I hope to be done in a year to a year and a half.<br />

We have had a wonderful but busy summer getting to all kinds of things! They are still going to daycare while I am in school and Ron works full-time. They are learning so much and talking non-stop. Ronald keeps us cracking up at all times which is nice when you have had a hard day! They pretty much eat anything you put in front of them but absolutely LOVE fruit snacks, milk, grapes, peaches, anything from the grill, and more... Before bed each night, we (Ron and I) each read a book to them and don't quite feel right if they don't get their book! I didn't know what to expect with two boys but I have absolutely loved it! I get all the kisses and hugs I want and need at anytime and can always guarantee that they have my back against daddy! I don't want them to grow up too fast so I am savoring each day as much as I can! Pretty soon Ronald will be starting kindergarten!! And Talin will be right behind him :)</div><div><br /></div>G & R Bakerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04024355124577737331noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4053645362125173364.post-64699827668787986172010-09-12T13:37:00.000-07:002010-09-12T13:41:30.073-07:00Myrtle Beach, SC!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioz3eR7_ToIva_iu5m74fchpnxYeXldIbMcTvtgC-KX3QIXQLMJDV_hMQb_Nq9tLn1ct_iVVgrqbl8kG1_XuE37uNHN2mocrUnuBAUP14jiSszOGOpIj7Pf2Yr7QPmr3JYWPbrEjS6V0NT/s1600/DSC01415.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioz3eR7_ToIva_iu5m74fchpnxYeXldIbMcTvtgC-KX3QIXQLMJDV_hMQb_Nq9tLn1ct_iVVgrqbl8kG1_XuE37uNHN2mocrUnuBAUP14jiSszOGOpIj7Pf2Yr7QPmr3JYWPbrEjS6V0NT/s320/DSC01415.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5516129873646889730" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjA-n21xyh5s3nlsGIDaaLXL0giuB2teyu6rHR5S9rtK72yLDmmx3EEFw3MGTJM9wRD7juo5np8qyHqkg0v9_X_Ea26JxQd4uPIAlDXI0BA7HGQL52DuuggzlBLJUb5KWrcxrcVhArRqMld/s1600/DSC01431.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjA-n21xyh5s3nlsGIDaaLXL0giuB2teyu6rHR5S9rtK72yLDmmx3EEFw3MGTJM9wRD7juo5np8qyHqkg0v9_X_Ea26JxQd4uPIAlDXI0BA7HGQL52DuuggzlBLJUb5KWrcxrcVhArRqMld/s320/DSC01431.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5516129849306057138" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVgAxhUejW13qNqeB_qaI_GycviLVZomNxuzT7ZE8JVhNRHs5mYEjAiLdWHajgAEL6IiKdsmeIJVTDhk6qQnLWZFakrKWUoepKL7IyUiB4SKiK3l_3CbIA773SqpCvjmUcy9H32KabHUw0/s1600/DSC01404.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVgAxhUejW13qNqeB_qaI_GycviLVZomNxuzT7ZE8JVhNRHs5mYEjAiLdWHajgAEL6IiKdsmeIJVTDhk6qQnLWZFakrKWUoepKL7IyUiB4SKiK3l_3CbIA773SqpCvjmUcy9H32KabHUw0/s320/DSC01404.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5516129846858695154" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhv6c0BA6ejWsUqD2AY8_nG5hePJ4mbsISCNrCwiCktIIGTx0EYVYs319ngehYJinw221KtDYHYDN19sL2Tr6OMe-v-Q57VG2v5mKAa5MNS-NUlEDuH8Anew0hyphenhyphenhQ-tUCWFUz7vB7NYMn5y/s1600/DSC01399.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhv6c0BA6ejWsUqD2AY8_nG5hePJ4mbsISCNrCwiCktIIGTx0EYVYs319ngehYJinw221KtDYHYDN19sL2Tr6OMe-v-Q57VG2v5mKAa5MNS-NUlEDuH8Anew0hyphenhyphenhQ-tUCWFUz7vB7NYMn5y/s320/DSC01399.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5516129838830009650" /></a><br />We took a little family vacation to Myrtle Beach over the summer! Well, the boys and I were relaxing and Ron had a work conference. It was their first time to the beach and they were in heaven! We couldn't get Ronald away from the pool or to take off his life jacket. They were afraid of the sand moving away from the feet by the ocean but got used to it by the time we left. We definitely had our fill of seafood and checked out some pretty nice local restaurants. We definitely plan to go back again (hopefully soon) and the next time, we will totally be staying in a villa with a bit more space :)G & R Bakerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04024355124577737331noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4053645362125173364.post-57072048000803345852010-09-12T13:32:00.000-07:002010-09-12T13:34:53.385-07:00Making Cupcakes!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1iSilVwv6moXb-8NGgOnx-y6dx0VjZBLF6QynJkocrsuRZr5kaVCHIMqX9MKFp_fqGmnlXbfitOlgWgwYfpQlXhH4Q5ScSaKVubhoyC3Af-H9MhuARgQQC9URJ8gdpcgvqpCzl_wORpIE/s1600/DSC01991.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1iSilVwv6moXb-8NGgOnx-y6dx0VjZBLF6QynJkocrsuRZr5kaVCHIMqX9MKFp_fqGmnlXbfitOlgWgwYfpQlXhH4Q5ScSaKVubhoyC3Af-H9MhuARgQQC9URJ8gdpcgvqpCzl_wORpIE/s320/DSC01991.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5516128131739018530" /></a><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>After<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6saDik67Y4HjK3GiyNGdjjp5xE8BJp6YXrCbJXxptU3liK3wxkp3D21TYOYYyrDIL84L3By3rq-YFzcGoBxyTJkTeUuzFGxImEVvw21kL_CsHFm4DlFJde4zFoAEos8tdBuH5ml5xxEp4/s1600/DSC01988.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6saDik67Y4HjK3GiyNGdjjp5xE8BJp6YXrCbJXxptU3liK3wxkp3D21TYOYYyrDIL84L3By3rq-YFzcGoBxyTJkTeUuzFGxImEVvw21kL_CsHFm4DlFJde4zFoAEos8tdBuH5ml5xxEp4/s320/DSC01988.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5516128123499300402" /></a><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Before<br />I had a craving for cupcakes after watching some show on TV so we decided to make a few!

Ronald actually got on the ponies this year and took a ride and as you can see from the pics, Talin enjoyed himself too! Of course we didn't get to check out all the food items because we had to head to the kids area! They had a waterslide with a pool at the bottom that Ronald wanted to do but we didn't have a change of clothes with us - maybe next year! I think he, Talin, and their dad had a lot of fun on the other slides though!

So here is a little update on what has been going on in the Baker household. We celebrated Talin's 1st Birthday with a lil get together of some of the immediate family. Shortly there after (I believe the next day we gave the lil guy his 1st haircut). I love it because it makes him look more like a lil boy. And since Talin's birthday lil Ron has miraculously memorized his birthday as being May 7th and that he want's a Choo Choo Birthday! Yes lil Ron is in love with trains. Lets see other than that Lil Ron is potty training and has been doing very well at going pee pee in the potty the help of Miss Jennifer at daycare. We are so thankful for Miss Jennifer! I have been busy at work and doing lil things around the house, while my lovely wife has been busy with finishing up her 1st full year of her PhD at the University of Illinois. Life has been so far so good.

Ronald loves shoveling this winter with Daddy and I don't mind either. They tried making a snowman but Ronald got cold and they had to come in!

The boys had a great time again and it was like Christmas all over again! Although we were missing our middle brother and sister, we still had a good time with our entertainment being Ronald and Talin. We got my mom to play Karaoke Revolution and she did pretty good.

The boys had a great time. Ronald was busy with his train and Talin was only interested in what Ronald had and was playing with. It was much more fun this year with Ronald actually knowing what the whole Santa thing was about. Ron and I decided that we are definitely going to have to watch what we say next year as we gave way too many clues! I heard that the train table was a popular gift for little boys and girls and our house was no exception. Now if we can only get Ronald to share his trains with Talin, life would be grand! Oh, and no luck with Ronald on Santa's lap although he did get much closer than last year. I think next year might just be it!</div>G & R Bakerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04024355124577737331noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4053645362125173364.post-65968941896652972942009-12-31T12:17:00.000-08:002009-12-31T12:22:17.484-08:00Ronald's Picture Session<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgb43e5htC-u5owQYHxNOqcwYkxd11nL4HDDNqA9azJRBNez1NLLzOt08o1rUWX6se5pIzmq-121DIDJgOge5SCDvIRuftFOpCBy8Ba2mzWLIiaE93ZYlIVjlpUZHgcWjedu5QNt2sA_hSa/s1600-h/DSC04480.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgb43e5htC-u5owQYHxNOqcwYkxd11nL4HDDNqA9azJRBNez1NLLzOt08o1rUWX6se5pIzmq-121DIDJgOge5SCDvIRuftFOpCBy8Ba2mzWLIiaE93ZYlIVjlpUZHgcWjedu5QNt2sA_hSa/s320/DSC04480.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5421497486034577266" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">"Mommy, I wanna jump right here"</div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtMPqqEcV7ebom0kDDzJJH0bnUyKjcA3o18-MDqioJYaQRSeBmPMSXhgszamKGTOxQfCNZy_A30q5DT1_kfzkWts5yvoCbgW9b9sxrzuPe7G3L8O_Do7pVnFvDzjFxSLIKfWDMPBMiYcEt/s1600-h/DSC04482.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtMPqqEcV7ebom0kDDzJJH0bnUyKjcA3o18-MDqioJYaQRSeBmPMSXhgszamKGTOxQfCNZy_A30q5DT1_kfzkWts5yvoCbgW9b9sxrzuPe7G3L8O_Do7pVnFvDzjFxSLIKfWDMPBMiYcEt/s320/DSC04482.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5421497482133020978" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">Cheese!</div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4vwk1s1GfbOlGmGDcloablqpKwwyKO2HSDgcKTpW7tvrF46JdYaeq3wF7INKEoQyeSN8uT2YnLYTjfMDtaDbuqklrrkIQui-5I083R8EpZ9z76Jv74hI5PDt0V8d9d-zGhYlz4-ZsAjp-/s1600-h/DSC04477.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4vwk1s1GfbOlGmGDcloablqpKwwyKO2HSDgcKTpW7tvrF46JdYaeq3wF7INKEoQyeSN8uT2YnLYTjfMDtaDbuqklrrkIQui-5I083R8EpZ9z76Jv74hI5PDt0V8d9d-zGhYlz4-ZsAjp-/s320/DSC04477.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5421497268813636146" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">My first tattoo!</div><div style="text-align: left;">In honor of his aunts, Ronald wanted a basketball tattoo on him so we tried it.

When you're having a bad day, it's easy to get in a good mood upon seeing him!

Unfortunately, Ron's grandpa, Grandaddy Sam, on his dad's side passed away on December 12 after a very long life here on earth. Fortunately, we got a chance to meet up with family and have them meet the boys for the first time. We don't often get to see them as they live all across the States but we had a great time. There are plans to visit with them many more times in the future! Shout out to my dad who watched the boys all by himself while we were at the funeral, definitely not an easy feat!</div>G & R Bakerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04024355124577737331noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4053645362125173364.post-60967261910766039702009-12-31T11:37:00.000-08:002009-12-31T12:00:16.194-08:00O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWpVmL7vCwpxExVZNbsbDglUZifu3bICCgRrw7VUHGca9ZiV2_vjLGJS60Zujd0CR3NoePoT2ur-8HDjAkocOCX_YWT_nlL08m-v1QlPmFzVQnoKugtyn7hqO1NLieBNiVl8Df-z9jGbzK/s1600-h/DSC04478.JPG"><img style="display:block;

This year we tried a different kind of tree per Ron's request. The boys had a great time, except for the one picture of Talin. Ron was busy taking pictures from the couch only getting up to help when requests of putting hooks on ornaments or help with lights I couldn't reach were made.

We hit up the annual Decatur Celebration this year and had ourselves some good ole Shrimp on a Stick! Little Ron got to enjoy some of the rides this year including his first mini roller coaster. He was scared the entire time and didn't let go of the bar but he was very, very brave. No crying for this little guy. We saw several little kids bigger than him that were crying so I think we have a pretty tough boy on our hands! This is good and Ron and I would love to take the kids to Cedar Point some time in the future (way future!).<div><br /></div><div>It was pretty hot that Sunday but the boys were in good spirits and allowed us to eat a lot of good food and walk around! As you can tell from the pics, they were good and tired when we got home. Next year should be even more fun as we will have two little ones all over the place!! I hope they enjoy it as much as Ron and I did when we were kids!</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>G & R Bakerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04024355124577737331noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4053645362125173364.post-40224576862178854882009-08-22T19:26:00.000-07:002009-08-22T19:28:56.907-07:00Swing Away!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9v5w639IxpQDn-Wi-3pXn77c3kMpuNdCrMK3OIS2P9UTGBP8Hd91zxkKq_G1Uce_ayVG3j5KYsivfhFlqb3XTutcgqUJ3n262KWtm0XlV0cVr_tjg8J61S7W6Zquy0YkWyYe1YXmi9tbu/s1600-h/IMG_0005.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9v5w639IxpQDn-Wi-3pXn77c3kMpuNdCrMK3OIS2P9UTGBP8Hd91zxkKq_G1Uce_ayVG3j5KYsivfhFlqb3XTutcgqUJ3n262KWtm0XlV0cVr_tjg8J61S7W6Zquy0YkWyYe1YXmi9tbu/s320/IMG_0005.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5372980479222268050" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtZmeSMQ56VsmgZPrFBAgJhkF879dbiNaKdoNUGJOk-7HG5Ob_pvjjxw4YOOYhmned77fuytk1_g1Blg-yWCknd9F5c3IUMh4Qlr_n_qfEe7wMVGoFzkc_kI7NlCJsJZAM0G4PeYl-a97_/s1600-h/IMG_0003.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtZmeSMQ56VsmgZPrFBAgJhkF879dbiNaKdoNUGJOk-7HG5Ob_pvjjxw4YOOYhmned77fuytk1_g1Blg-yWCknd9F5c3IUMh4Qlr_n_qfEe7wMVGoFzkc_kI7NlCJsJZAM0G4PeYl-a97_/s320/IMG_0003.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5372980156579885874" /></a>That's right we love the swings!!

Many days he would come home after being at work since 6 a.m. to work on it!G & R Bakerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04024355124577737331noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4053645362125173364.post-25866851171707635582009-08-12T20:30:00.000-07:002009-08-12T20:32:47.314-07:00Baby Crawling contest here we come!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQAbPtuTBhAe9UMMfzo1AW7SIA3034XfrzXoj5vDHNNRrMQ8AI0PuAsvqrf_TT5XbK1yui-W1LxN2S2Zah8_FB-LlI4lbPTYix__jYampwSIhOg587Xlc9BC5YwfoX2S3yf8No_NxMPrKF/s1600-h/DSC04031.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQAbPtuTBhAe9UMMfzo1AW7SIA3034XfrzXoj5vDHNNRrMQ8AI0PuAsvqrf_TT5XbK1yui-W1LxN2S2Zah8_FB-LlI4lbPTYix__jYampwSIhOg587Xlc9BC5YwfoX2S3yf8No_NxMPrKF/s320/DSC04031.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5369285848004857730" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxjlzGw1X_RIkMHrCX-mhBD6hjZdqVIU4NbYuyQp7yzwzcTDX5Krk66kAK-KLrWSMAwAHsHrb4j881SznznNkhQRUo0z9MwyqO0p4vOq9d1fsCKWufRXWZ_XsnUZr6qN4eP7spkXnt7Bt7/s1600-h/DSC04034.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxjlzGw1X_RIkMHrCX-mhBD6hjZdqVIU4NbYuyQp7yzwzcTDX5Krk66kAK-KLrWSMAwAHsHrb4j881SznznNkhQRUo0z9MwyqO0p4vOq9d1fsCKWufRXWZ_XsnUZr6qN4eP7spkXnt7Bt7/s320/DSC04034.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5369285836207547506" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjda1wHT-z251Do6LBf-9v5DNlOUWASR3mabvlr5_Ysm2luLq8BniU6zP0TH7s2wp7Lk4-CPIpjT7-3h4tBU-PF5eurg4m3YmZ0lX0PJ3eyGyZfIMv1uvTIZ69G_bJxp6dP64Qw4AOYwZln/s1600-h/DSC04035.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjda1wHT-z251Do6LBf-9v5DNlOUWASR3mabvlr5_Ysm2luLq8BniU6zP0TH7s2wp7Lk4-CPIpjT7-3h4tBU-PF5eurg4m3YmZ0lX0PJ3eyGyZfIMv1uvTIZ69G_bJxp6dP64Qw4AOYwZln/s320/DSC04035.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5369285827516714194" /></a>The first pic is of Little Ron thinking he's small enough for the jumper. The best part is when he sits in it and actually jumps!!
