Well, it has been awhile since I have taken the time to update our Blog! This will be a short post just to get myself started making notes again and soon I will be more winded!
Summer is coming to an end and we are gearing up for another great school year! Hard to believe we have children in school! Nilla is ready for 3rd Grade, Cecillia 1st grade, and Holton is starting his first year of preschool! I am excited for the opportunity to have a few days a week to organize our home a little and get done with all of those projects that have been put on back burner! I am excited for our upcoming year and can't wait to start putting it all down in a post!

This year we have a 2nd grader and a Kindergartner!! Nilla has entered the 2nd grade and continues to enjoy school! Cecillia has now entered the big girl school world and has started Kindergarten! She is loving each day (though tired at the end of the day understandably!). That leaves lots of one on one time for Holton and myself!
Other than school we are keeping busy with dance for the girls! Nilla is on 4 different competition teams this year so she will be very busy with practice during the week and 3 competitions! Cecillia has also started dance this year and is having fun meeting new friends and learning dance moves!
Holton continues to grow and I am hoping to get him into gymnastics this year! His vocabulary is growing daily I think! I always surprised at what new words/sentences he is able to say each day!
Trevor and I are having fun learning what each new stage of parenthood brings! Trevor is very busy with work which is such a blessing in these uncertain times. I am also staying busy with carpooling the kids to activities and many other extra activities! I took a photography class at Lincoln Community Center and I am excited to have a new camera to learn how to take pictures of our family!

June 2010
Summer has begun! We have had a wonderful full week of summer vacation and we are starting our second! The school year went so quickly it is hard to believe we are into summer vacation already! Here are a few of the updates for our family!
Nilla finished her first year of school and will now be in the 1st grade next year! WOW! She did a fantastic job and her teacher was a blessing to have and I was lucky to be able to be a volunteer in the classroom! Nilla was also asked to be on the training team for gymnastics which is a big commitment and one we are not ready to make. She has wonderful skills and I am so proud of her for having the opportunity but we are passing this year. It is an 11 month commitment and she would be required to be at gymnastics 4 hours a week. Maybe next year! Nilla also finished her second year of dance and had a fantastic recital! I am so proud of how much she has grown up in the last year. She got to be a "helper" in Cecillia's 6 week class and I think that really gave her the drive to be the best she can and she did a fantastic job! This summer we will continue with Progression gymnastics, T-ball, & swimming lessons. We are blessed to have great friends in all of those activities so it will be a fantastic summer! Next adventure will be her 6th birthday bowling party!!! Can't wait to bowl with some of Nilla's friends and cousins!
Cecillia completed her 1st year of preschool and did such a great job! She also had a wonderful teacher, one I have been privileged to get to know over the years since it was Nilla's first year preschool teacher! We look forward to working on some of our writing skills and other important stuff over the summer and go back to 5c's 3 days a week next year! Cecillia is continuing gymnastics and doing such a great job! We also had her in a few sample sessions of dance and she had fun and may be able to join dance next year. Like Nilla, Cecillia will be in gymnastics and swimming lessons so we will be busy this summer! Her birthday is closer to the end of the summer and I look forward to celebrating with family & friends (DC family too!!).
Holton boy has turned 1!!!!!!! I can't believe how time flies! He is such a strong and enjoyable little guy! It is fun to see his way of communicating! He points at everything! He will holler until he gets your attention and then he points! Too dang cute! He is a walker now which is is surprising as he can crawl soooo fast! He continues to love up his sisters and give a side smile to anyone who will look. He is such a little flirt! He says da da, ma ma, (not necessarily at us but in general) all done, hot and continues to sponge up all he can!
Trevor and I are doing great! We are so lucky to have such a wonderful family and I really have soaked in all of the joy this family supplies! I am thankful for three healthy happy children and for the work that has kept Trevor and the crew busy. We have been enjoying the weather and our great neighbors. We have a great family close to us and have enjoyed spending time with them and is excited to spend more time with them this summer!

March 2010
We have been blessed with some warmer weather! So nice we have even walked to pick up Nilla from school! It is wonderful to have this warm weather so we can play outside and open the windows!
Not a lot to report for the girls but Holton has been learning stuff left and right! He is now crawling REALLY fast and has started to stand while holding on to the couch, window, chairs, basically anything he can! Such a big boy. The last few days he has learned to hold his pointer finger for "one" and use his pointer finger to fling cheerios!
We have been spending a lot of time with our neighbors who have kids the same age (one is in Nilla's class). So much fun to have such great friends so close!
More to update soon!

It has been 7 months since our last update! Where to begin!
Our Valentine's day started with a wonderful breakfast and our Valentine's treats for each other! The family spent the afternoon at the Wow Zone bowling! The girls had a great time bowling and playing games!
Trevor had a birthday and the girls spent the weekend at grandma's while Trevor had the guys over to play some cards! The kids made Trevor cards and we went out to eat on Sunday for his birthday.
Our family:
Holton has grown by leaps and bounds! As of Thursday Feb. 11th Holton is crawling! It is amazing how quickly kids learn things! He has had a rough week with a bad virus which almost landed him in the hospital. Luckily we were able to go home with medicine and he seems to be getting better. He enjoys eating his cereal, fruits and vegetables.
Cecillia has been enjoying her 6 week Dance class on Wednesday nights. She has been waiting so long to be in dance like Nilla! This time around she is staying in class! She had her first Valentine's day party at school and enjoyed bringing treats and homemade cards!
Nilla is still enjoying dance and gymnastics. She also had her first big girl school Valentine's party! We made cards and had treat bags for each child. So much fun! She enjoys school and meeting new friends. She has had a few birthday parties with friends from her preschool and her new kindergarten class.
Hope to update again soon!
Lots of love,
Baumgartners

It's a boy!
June 25, 2009
Well, our little bundle of joy, Holton Trevor James Baumgartner, arrived June 02, 2009 at 7:44 a.m. weighing 7lbs 14oz and measuring 22inches long! Our little peanut! His sisters are so much in love with him and are such big helpers! Holton is a VERY easy baby! At his 2 week appointment he weighed 8lbs 8oz so he has gained his weight back and then some! Being a mom to a boy is SOOOO DIFFERENT! It was a little scary for the first week but it is wonderful now! Holton has been practicing smiling! Yesterday was one of the first times I have got Holton to smile (without a burp or toot to follow!) He even smiled for Grandma but wasn't so generous with Dad!
It is has been a wonderful 3 1/2 weeks watching our family grow from 4 to 5 and watching the girls grow and change into their new roles as big sisters!
Nilla has started Tball (first practice the night Holton was born!) and is doing great! It is fun to watch her learning a new sport and watching ball in general! We have enjoyed watching ball again! We celebrated Nilla's birthday early at Jake's with LOTS of friends and family! We are so lucky to have such great friends and family! We are excited to celebrate her actual birthday this weekend! We have our tradition of Jake's pizza on the 26th with Grandma and Grandpa and then lunch at the mall on her actual birthday! Traditions are great!
Both girls attended a week of summer camp at 5c's (bug camp). They did super! I think Cecillia enjoyed preschool for the first time and was excited to go each day! The last day we took a field trip to Rasmussen Woods (Cecillia's first bus ride!) It has been great getting Cecillia into the idea of going to school since she will be attending preschool in the fall!
Trevor and I are enjoying the new addition to our family and the summer! Girls have scheduled activities to keep us busy! We are so blessed.

Posting finally!!! & Memorial weekend
Nilla had her first dance recital and did such a wonderful job! I couldn't hold back the tears in my eyes, so proud.
We are ending the last week of preschool for Nilla as well!!!!!! Can't believe she has 2 more days and then after summer will be attending kindergarten. Growing up so fast :) We have a fun filled summer planned. Nilla got in to T-Ball so that starts next week! I am so excited to spend my summer watching her play ball! We also have swimming lessons and summer camp at 5c's with Cecillia! Also looking forward to family time with the baby and friends! Memorial day Trevor spent the day teaching Nilla to try to ride with training wheels and had some successful moments. A few more days of trying and I bet we will have a 2 wheel rider on our hands!
Cecillia moved up from parent-tot gymnastics to preschool gymnastics and is doing so GREAT!! It was just in time, mom was finding it harder and harder to bend over and be limber with her! Cecillia also has been practicing riding on her trike and is doing wonderful! She is starting to learn how to turn around on her bike without having to get up and physically turn it around!! Cecillia will also have summer camp with Nilla which is so exciting since Cecillia will be starting preschool in the fall!!! We are also going to start swimming lessons this summer for Cecillia which will be so fun to see the girls gain so much independence! So great being a parent!
Baby #3 is due in 8 days and counting!! The girls are so excited to see what we are going to have and enjoy seeing the baby! I am anxious as well!! Next appointment is Friday (29th), will post updates!!
We had a fun filled Memorial weekend! Beautiful weather lots of fun with friends and family and spending time as a family! Since the last update our family has been busy! (so many pictures to share!)
