Ian 2 months


Ian in action! Like his mowhawk?

We raise them big on the Hoogland farm. I am totally being sarcastic, because our kids are little shrimps! Ian had his 2 month appointment yesterday and he weighed 9 lbs 9 oz and get this he is in the 3rd percentile for weight and 5th percentile for height! Just like his brother and sister! Oh well as long as he is gaining then the doctor wasn't worried.

He is such a joy to have around, he now cries if he is not in the mood to be cuddled, if you sit him up to see the world he is just fine. He is all smiles too! His little smiles and coos just melt my heart! He loves to try and follow Madelyn around the room, but she is too fast for him to concentrate on, but if he happens to catch a glimpse of her he gets very excited.

Happy Ian

Serious Ian


This is a typical encounter with Ian, so beware. He either gets over fed, or his little esophagus muscles aren't quite developed yet in his little body, but he spits up a lot! Always have a burp rag ready!

So what are the chances that Scott will even work at Fairchild? I want to live closer to you and your family SO BAD! Reading the blog and checking your Fb pictures is just not enough to satisfy me. I have a paper chain count down to April 8th!

Well, our little girl has finally arrived! Madelyn Kate Hoogland was delivered at 3:04 p.m. today (September 9th) weighing 7 lbs 4 oz and 20 1/2 inches. As you can see she has a FULL head of hair and we think she is the cutest baby ever! Mom is doing fine, we are just hanging out here at the hospital. Rylan is in very good hands at home with Grandma and Grandpa Young and Grammy Jody. Taking a bath, they had to wash her hair twice to get all the gunk out because it is so thick!

Our new nephew!

Yeah my sister Margaret finally had her baby! The poor girl spent hours waiting for her to be dilated enough to push and then started pushing to only realize that the baby was turned and his big burly shoulders could not fit, so they ended up doing a emergency c-section and found out that the umbilical cord was wrapped around his neck! He was in the ICU for a couple hours and in the mean time Margie was just waiting in her room for a LONG time to hold her baby. Anna and I went up there to keep her company and we were there when she got to hold her sweet baby boy for the first time (they did let her hold him for a very brief second right after delivery but had to rush him off to the ICU). Jeff (Margaret's husband) is so tender and sweet to Margie it was so sweet to see their love for each other and their new baby. He was 8 lbs 2 oz that is about the size of Madelyn, maybe a bit bigger, and Maddy is almost a month old. Notice her baby acne, i don't know what to do for it, but it ...

I've been picture tagged

I was picture tagged by my wonderful sister-in-law Breezi You go to your 4th Picture file, and Choose the 4th Picture and post and then blog about it. This picture was taken while we lived in Boise with Anna, it was close to Christmas time 2006. Rylan was obsessed with the Jock Jams CD and he loved this particular song that was a medley of songs and there was a part that said, "and look at him go, and look at him go, he could go all the waaaaayyyy." At this particular part he would put his hand up to his forehead like he was looking a far distance away. He learned this choreography from his mother who learned it at her best friend's (thanks Meghan) church camp what like 10 years ago! (What can I say I love dancing) I bet if that song came on between me and Meghan we could do the whole routine for you. I guess I have to pass this on...if you are willing, how about Meghan, Kezia (come on you need more pics on your blog anyway) and Monica, who is a excellent picture taker.
