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

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!

Monday, November 21, 2011. I apologize in advance for the amount of pictures I am about to post! Our photographer-Brett De Yager followed us throughout the entire race and documented our awesome team and about every step of the way :)! I did cut it down to 41 pictures out of the 200 :) Thanks Brett, so glad we have these to remember how much fun we had! This year, Natasha, Joy, Courtney, and I decided to take part in the Pineapple Classic 5K race, which was a fundraiser for Leukemia! Daddy and Nolan :).

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...

http://melissaandmatthewdehaan.blogspot.com/2012/07/8-year-anniversary-vancouver-bc.html
Sunday, July 1, 2012. 8 Year Anniversary: Vancouver, BC! Matthew and I decided to take advantage of Memorial Day weekend since he had Monday off and head up to Seattle, drop the kids off at my parents house, and head up to Vancouver, BC to celebrate our 8 year anniversary a few weeks early! Since Nolan had been born we had not been able to get away so it was a great time to just be able to hang out kid free for a few days and see some cool things! The bridge in the background! I am excited to see what th...

The De Haans: January 2011
http://melissaandmatthewdehaan.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
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!

The De Haans: February 2011
http://melissaandmatthewdehaan.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 17, 2011. We found a place in our area that is an indoor play area with lots of toys and the bounce houses! We took Cayden there on a rainy Saturday for something different to do! He had a lot of fun playing there! In the bounce house. Complete with a basketball hoop :). He loved this part of it! Also liked this race car thing that actually goes down a track! Waiting his turn for the car. This was another favorite in which he spent a lot of time on :). Wednesday, February 9, 2011.

Saturday, May 28, 2011. Phototherapy and Nolan's First Bath! Here are a few pictures :). Not too happy about being cold :) but we had to get the light belt on him! Here was pretty much the set up for a few days! Good thing he slept a lot of it away! See the blue light? The light had to have direct contact with his skin to work! Close up of my sleeping baby :). And then we finally gave him his first bath because he really needed one! He was o.k. at first. Until he realized how cold he was! My two boys :).
