Hope's 3 Months Old!!

Here are a couple of Hope's 3 month pictures. Time flies by so fast. She is such a sweet little girl, and somehow manages to sleep better than her brother. The Lord has blessed us tremendously!

Animals, Animals!!

This is another member of our family. Angel was Claire's Birthday gift last year and only recently have we figured out how to keep her home (most of the time). We installed an invisible dog fence, but chasing birds sometimes is more fun than the pain of crossing the line.
Not far from our house is a horse farm that currently is overrun with babies. We took the kids to see all the horses and they loved it. Mark counted over thirty all together. They were so cute!
We also went to see a baby pig at the hog farm. It was the first time for Brock and he was a little scared. Right after this picture was taken she (the pig) decided to pee all over Claire and Shelly.And here is the raccoon that made it into our garage and managed to turn on the shop vac by himself. We assumed he scared himself so badly that he climbed to the highest point he could find.

May Flowers

This is Claire's rendition of the 60's. It was 60's night for AWANA and this is what we came up with for a "Flower Child". Obviously neither her nor I were born in the 60's.


The whole Hurley crew at Grandma Janet's surprise birthday party. L to R : Kree, Brock, Grandma holding Hope and Kevae, Claire, Kaari, Kaia, Elyse and Landon are sitting. Toby was there but chose not to be in the picture and Caleb was sick that day and couldn't come.

Biker Babe or Pup??

To whom does this outfit belong? It's actually the stuffed dogs outfit. Claire was dressing her "Build-A-Bear" dog (Cutie Pie) yesterday when we discoverd that it also fit her little sister. Hope, however, had no use for the tail hole.

Spring Break

Claire and Brock had a great time at the park over Spring Break. We took a day (the warmest one) and went to the park and Chuck E Cheese.
Hope working on her smiles after church.

Relaxed Sunday

This is about the only time we got both Brock and Hope asleep at the same time. It seems to be a rare occurance.
After church last Sunday we decided to take the kids fishing. Hope slept in the van the whole time. Claire caught two fish, but after about 5 minutes Brock had had enough fishing and just wanted to play (strange for a 21 month old - Ha Ha)

Easter

Hope in her dress that was too cold to wear for Easter, but oh so cute!





This was Brock's first time coloring eggs. He had a grand time.


Hope is starting to smile more and more these days. She'll be 8 weeks old on Tuesday the 25th.
