We're all growin up!

Oh my goodness! Who's kids are these? Do they really belong to me? Don't they look so grown up? It's mind boggling to me. I'm not old enough to have this many kids am I? While standing in line at the grocery store the other day, a man was telling me to watch out because today they are sitting in the cart begging for candy and tomorrow they will be begging for the car keys. Please don't make me that old yet - but it just kills me that time really does go by that fast. Ok, some days when your house looks like a tornado ran through it, and the baby is screaming while you're trying to make dinner, the day can't be over fast enough, but we all get it.
These pictures are the latest first day of school pics, well except for Max - this is just him being cute at four and a half months. He is now giggling a lot and rolling over. I love this stage when they actually interact with you now, always waiting for you to give them a reason to smile back at you. I still can't believe that just a few short years ago my baby's name was Cole and now he's in first grade. Brady started preschool today. He seemed to have had a really fun time. I was so impressed because he could tell me all about the book they read, what they had for snacks, and what toys they had to play with etc. When I asked Cole what they did at school I got a whole long explanation of "the same as we always do." Glad to know he's getting such a great education;) He's such a typical boy!

School's Out!

Holy cow my baby is finished with his first year of school! This year has gone so fast! I know that is so cliche, but I just can't believe it's true! These pictures are from Cole's Kindergarten program. He was one of the few that got to have a speaking part. He was worried he wasn't going to be able to do it because he threw up in class the day before and the rule is that you can't return to school for 24 hours after. His program started at 1:30pm and he was able to return to school at 1pm, just in time. He did a fabulous job! He has never been afraid to speak in front of lots of people - a trait he certainly didn't get from his mother. He got all of the highest grades possible and is an all around great kid! We are really proud of him this year and hope he continues to have his love of school, at least for a few more years:)

This was a few weeks ago, but this was Max's baby blessing day. Tyler did a great job and gave him a very sweet blessing. Max didn't cry or fuss much so that was good. He even managed to not spit up or poop on his white clothes so that was a bonus for me!

And the winner is...

Last weekend Cole won his first golf tournament! He was up two shots going into the last hole so we were hoping he would keep his focus and finish up strong. Cole had no idea that he had even won - When it was over Tyler congratulated him and Cole asked him how he knew that! We're glad he had lots of fun playing and made some new friends. I'm not sure who was more proud - Cole or Tyler.

Easter!

We had a fun Easter holiday! The kids got enough candy to last them til Halloween! We got together with friends for breakfast and an egg hunt. The weather couldn't of been any more perfect. Lots of fun!

More Pics!

I'm all ready to go home!

All this picture posing is making me tired!

Here I am looking very serious, but very cute!

Just Chillin!

He's Finally Here!

We welcomed Baby Max on March 31. He was a little late and definitely made his entrance a dramatic one, but we feel very blessed he is finally here and healthy. Life as we knew it will never be the same! It's probably going to be a little crazy, but a lot of fun too! We are so excited to have a new little baby around again. Cole and Brady have been great and very lovable from the moment he got here. They are looking forward to the day they can teach him how to play baseball and the wii. Tyler is hoping since he already has a golfer and a baseball player that he now has a basketball player. Only time will tell, but the size of his hands and feet make for a great future.
