The De Haans: April 2011

http://melissaandmatthewdehaan.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html

Monday, April 25, 2011. So blessed to celebrate the real reason for Easter: Jesus's death and resurrection! So thankful that Jesus paid the ultimate sacrifice for us and that we get to live in freedom because of Him! After church we had a big Easter dinner: complete with turkey, mashed potatoes, vegetables, rolls, and pie! Thanks mom for the wonderful dinner! Reading some books with daddy before dinner! And playing some games with Uncle Brett! We just put it all in one basket! Counting all his eggs!

Tuesday, June 26, 2012. Nolan's 1st Year Birthday Party Take 2! We flew back into Seattle on the 6th pretty early in the morning. We decided to do a second birthday party for Nolan with my side of the family and some friends in the area so that way everyone could be a part of it :)! We had the party at Shaun and Courtney's house and it turned out to be a super nice day which made it even better so the kids could play outside! Aunt Natasha and Nolan by the cake :). One more family picture :). So two birth...

The De Haans: July 2011

http://melissaandmatthewdehaan.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html

Wednesday, July 27, 2011. Just a few pictures of my boys :). Loving hanging out by Daddy! We started a reward system with Cayden to work on a few things! Once he earns 5 stickers he gets to play 1/2 hour of Wii! This eliminates some fights throughout the day and it seems to be working :)! Cayden got 5 stickers! He gets so excited when he finally earns all his stickers! This usually means he wants to play Wii right then and there! Glad it's working so far! At least he can enjoy this one in our backyard!

Sunday, July 1, 2012. Preschool Event and a Happy 3rd Birthday to Zachary! Cayden had a field day at his preschool on May 17 which the kids really enjoyed! They had a lot of events set up in the gym along with lunch for all! Cayden trying out the stilts :). Nolan enjoying his snacks and he even enjoyed the bouncy houses as well :). Cayden eating a hot dog, this deserved a picture because he doesn't normally eat hot dogs :). I can't wait to meet him in heaven someday! And isn't that so true! Melissa enjoy...

http://melissaandmatthewdehaan.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html

Tuesday, March 27, 2012. Here is a small sampling of Nolan's 9 Month pictures that I took almost a few months ago! Nolan did great for the pictures and since it was so cold out the day we went, he ended up with a cold afterwards. The sacrifice for some pictures outside in Oregon in February! I also included a few of Cayden and Nolan who are such great brothers already! Love my two little boys! Saturday, March 3, 2012. It was definitely nice to have some extra hands with Matthew and the boys! Cayden has n...

Monday, January 31, 2011. This year we decided to host our annual college friend New Year's Eve party at Matthew's parents house! Matthew's mom was wonderful and helped me do a lot in preparation for the party! I can't take a lot of the credit as she prepared a lot of the food and set it up! Thanks for all your hard work mom! As you can see we had a huge turn out and were so blessed and thankful that we got to see all these people and meet some of the new kiddos from last year! De Haan Christmas Part 2!

The De Haans: February 2012

http://melissaandmatthewdehaan.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html

Friday, February 17, 2012. Hanging Out at Home and Our "Snow Day"! After Cayden's birthday party on January 14th things went downhill for our family. Nolan was sick for about a week and then Cayden got very sick for a week and a half. He ended up in urgent care one Sunday afternoon for dehydration. He did not look good at all and had lost 6 pounds, not good for a really skinny boy! Within a few days after getting rehydrated he was eating nonstop-I could not keep enough food around the house for him!
