Hyrum's blessing

Hyrum was blessed on Sunday. It was a beautiful blessing focusing on the spirit and service. Here are some pictures of handsome little Hyrum in his tux. Thanks to Grandma Janet for making it, all three of our boys have used it.

2 week check-up

Hyrum had his 2 week check-up today. It was verified that Hyrum likes to eat and is doing a good job of doing so. He weighed in at 8lbs 11 oz a whole pound above his birth weight. He also grew 3/4 of an inch. He is a healthy little boy.

Happy Easter

Happy Easter!!

It has been a beautiful Easter here in Mississippi. Friday we dyed eggs, we got some brilliant colors, and each child had one with their name on it. Yesterday's celebrations began with a party. Zachary was invited to a birthday party for girl in his preschool. The invitation said siblings were welcome, and it ended up being an entire family affair. They had an Easter Egg hunt, a pinata, lots and lots of treats, and a guest appearance from the Easter Bunny himself. The kids had a great time, and Kyle and I got to show off handsome Hyrum. After we returned home and had a little rest the kids found their Easter baskets which were hidden in our backyard. The boys got PJ's, Eric got Spiderman, and Zachary got Lego Star Wars. Wendy got a orange flowered dress. The talks today in church were very uplifting, and made me want to be better. The kids have been enjoying Easter candy they received yesterday.

The older siblings

With a new one here I often forget to post the Flamm Family Fun that the other kids bring, so here is a post dedicated to the older siblings.

Zachary often tells us he has a lot of energy. This is a true statement. He is quite the character and loves to play with others. We enrolled him in the last month and half of preschool, which both he and his mother are enjoying.

Eric is full of smiles. He loves to show us tricks (such as the one in the picture). He loves attention from mom and dad, but is more reserved around others. He is very into Spiderman, and wants his shirt and underwear to have Spiderman on them.

Wendy is an independent little girl. She often says, "Me do it" Other favorite phrases include, "Want more now" and "No like it" She actually has quite the vocabulary and knows how to use it.

Hyrum's eyes

Here are some awake pictures of Hyrum. He is already trying to hold his head up and we can see that he is getting stronger and staying awake more each day. When he is awake he is very alert, and interested in whoever is close by. He is a happy baby, and when he does cry it starts as a little squeak. He is very patient with his brothers and sisters who like to hold him. He is a joy to have in our home.

More Mississippi Wildlife

Our new home has been full of animal discoveries. Zachary has caught frogs multiple times, we have bluebirds nesting in a box on our fence, lizards have been spotted twice, and today I came home from the bank to see a turtle on our front step.

Squeezable & Delicious!!

Our little one is growing. He is so cute that you just have to squeeze him. His siblings are still fascinated by him. Zachary says that he loves his little brother and cannot leave him, Eric says that when he stands in front of the swing Hyrum settles down (this has been true twice), Wendy is a little mother (if Hyrum cries she is ready to help by pushing his swing, or stuffing his pacifier in his mouth.) Overall Hyrum is a content baby.






This is a picture of the edible arrangement that we received from those with whom Kyle works. Thank-you!! It is beautiful and delicious.

Here are my little boys. Eric just climbed
up and watched Hyrum. It was cute.
