100% BOY

Oh I am on the move these days and loving it....look I am like Mommy and Daddy multi-tasking as not only am I walking but also making music at the same time!

Here are some of my favorite toys. I love hearing the animal noises.

So I have gotten good at smiling for Mommy and the camera....:)

OUR FIRST LOST TOOTH - PRICELESS

It is Friday already?

That is how I feel these days - that I can't believe how quickly the weeks go! It just seems like this fall is blowing past us; now I say that with a smirk because it is not actually fall here yet as we are still experiencing a heat wave with 96 degree weather!

I posted a ton of pictures on the side in a slide show as for some reason I could not get it to paste in this main page and I did not have the time right now to play with it until it cooperated with me. Anywho, the pictures are from all of the latest things that have happened with us: visits, trips, school days, etc.

Everyone is doing great - really great - maybe even fantastic! Truly, it has been such a fun week. We have laughed really hard and played really hard together. What have we all done you might ask? Mmmmm....we supported our babysitters at their track meet and ran the last 50 meters with them which was so much fun. (There is a little part of me that hopes maybe the girls will love track...it would just be fun to run with them when they are older b/c we all had a passion for it). Then we have explored many new parks with our bikes - poor Jacoby all he wants is to be like his big sisters and ride a bike. It is frustrating him these days that he can't walk without help....poor little guy! We have made homemade Popsicles out of whatever we could find in the pantry-I am thinking Daddy can taste test those puppies YUMMY!!!!! We sidewalk chalked our whole driveway with love notes for Daddy. Oh we switched our kitchen table out for our dining room table (I think I have already started the girls to love rearranging as they helped me the whole time-Oopsies, that is one I will have to apologize to their future husbands for) What else? Oh we did gymnastics, dance and of course had our usual play dates with friends....you see what I mean life is just flying by, but in such a good way!

Hope all is wonderful with each of you...Happy Birthday Cousin Cooper - I can't believe you are 2!!! Have a great weekend everybody!

Can you say BLAST FROM THE PAST?

Oh my goodness, how funny are these pictures? Addison and dear Skivy - I can't believe he is still with us! What can you say about Kaitlyn? What a ham!!!!

Okay let's catch y'all up.....

Awe....
Addy's first day of school! Too cute! She has a couple friends in her class from our church and from our neighborhood so that made the transition nice and easy. She is also so excited because I am letting her carpool this year with some of those Moms. She just loves it!






Kate and Addy in their new jackets from Uncle Ry-Ry!!!! Wish they sold them in BIG GIRL sizes.....

This is the sky I was talking about...FREAKY!!!! Double Click on it to make it bigger....the picture and the sky get even better!






Well everyone has started school - okay not Jacoby - but Addy and Kate are well underway with school. Oh, I adore, adore, adore Addy's teacher and think it will simply be a fabulous year for her. On the first day I expected Addy to be a little nervous and need a couple extra hugs - NOPE - she gave me a big kiss and said that she will see me at pick up time. I asked one more time if she was sure she did not need me to hang out with her for a little bit and play with some of the toys - she proceeded to ask me "You are picking me up right?" I said, "Yes." Then she said, "Mom, I am fine I love school you can go now." Gosh poor Jacoby....I was a little teary eyed with him the rest of the morning!

What else can I fill you in on? Oh some of the pictures I enclosed are from one of our latest nights of storms. The sky was so weird I had to take a picture and show you all...seriously that red/yellow sky was natural. We all went outside and just looked around for a while as it seemed the world had a tinted film on it for about 2 hours in our neck of the woods! Then the storm hit and Kate and I tried to get a cool picture of the lightening but failed....next time...I am sure we will have plenty of opportunities! Honestly though I can't blame the kids for getting a little freaked out when storms hit and the sky looks like this!

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU Uncle Ryan for the cool jackets for the girls birthdays...we were needing some new play jackets and these are too cute. The girls want the weather to change so they can wear them! Addy likes to roll the sleeves to be able to see the blue color underneath....a fashionista already!!!

Oh...BIG NEWS! We finally after 9 months have moved Jacoby to his new room. It was so exciting as everyone helped move the crib up and put the new little decorations around. Kaitlyn loved helping put the bedding on the crib - she just could not wait for Jacoby to see everything!We went with a Zoo theme - it is cute and he loves it. Brent and I were constantly listening last night for any noises, peeps or the slightest irregular rhythm just cause we were not used to having him away from us. But he woke up happy and the girls are so thrilled that ALL the kids are together upstairs now.....

Have a great Labor Day weekend - looking forward to some good grilling and wish you the same!
