Cousin Time

Calvin has started pulling himself up on thing! This kid is changing so fast and growing up so quick! I keep wishing time would slow down but I'm hoping this blog and our kids calendars and lots of pictures can help me remember and cherish these moments forever!

Stealthy Todd

This little stink snuck out of bed during nap time. I was feeding Calvin on the couch and after Calvin fell asleep I went in to check the older boys. Jace was still awake and when I looked in Todd's bed and didn't see him I panicked my heart stopped and I quickly asked Jace where Todd was he said "oh Toddy is by the bathroom door. I couldn't help but laugh. I was surprised I didn't notice him on my way back to the boys room. I think he does the stink bug so cute!! Love this little boy

Calvin Asleep In The Highchair

This kid isn't a huge fan of baby food. But tonight I tried again he ate a few bites before he was done. So I put the food in the fridge and was getting something for one of the other boys and turn around to this. Poor guy was super tired I guess. Love this munchkin so much

Todd's Toe

Todd go this toes smashed pretty good on Saturday by our space heater. He cried pretty hard and was in a lot of pain. its always hard to see your kids in so much pain. My mom was watching him when it happened and felt so bad. He has had a hard time walking on which worried me. We took him to the doctor on Monday to make sure it wasn't broken! And thank goodness it wasn't! we had been watching pretty close to make sure it doesn't get infected. Poor kid has been a trooper though!

Jace's Soccer Team

We were able to put Jace in soccer this year and man has it been fun to watch him!!! He is so competitive! He loves to push everyone even his own team out of the way to get the ball. He has even stepped on people's shoes and pulled on there shirts just to get to the ball first. At one of his games he pushed someone and when they fell he shoot haaahaaah way load. It's all about winning for him. When he scored his first game he jumped up and pumped his fist in the air saying score for Jace!! He is so fast and does pretty good about kicking the ball! It makes me so proud to watch him :) Nate says I am way loud and I have to admit I have got caught up in the game for a min or two! 

Jace and his team

These boys absolutely adore Calvin and enjoy playing with him and holding him all the time!! They are always comforting him when he is sad and always trying to make him laugh! He is a lucky boy to have such amazing brothers! And I know Calvin already thinks the world of his brothers:)
