Baby Dimples at the BEST.

Spoiled by Grandma...

Ryan was traveling a LOT the last 2 weeks... So my grandma came down for a week to help me and spend some time with the kids... and I LOVE having her here... Not only is she the best baby-holder ever, she is such great company for me!  I cherish these days with her, and I'm so thankful to have as much time with her as I can!  I'm very blessed... and so are my boys!!

Christian is her 9th great-grandchild!

Tee Ball!

Jackson played his first season of tee-ball this year.  We had a BLAST!  Jackson's team was the Blue Jays and they did great!  Ben was on Jackson's team, which made it even more fun!  These boys were so much fun to watch!  Ethan did well too - He and Noel would eat snacks and try on their brothers' helmets... It was a lot of fun!   I see many years of baseball in our future!  Here are some random pics from Jackson's last tee ball game.

Silver Dollar City!

We are SO grateful to our friends The Searcy's for letting us use their free guest passes to go on a family trip to Silver Dollar City!  It was my boys' (all 4 of them) first time to go!  We had the ABSOLUTE best time!!!  Ryan and I take such joy at watching our boys' faces light up when they are in a new fun place.  Jackson was in heaven - he had Cole, rides, and a place to roam.  Perfect situation for my fearless boy.  However, Ethan - he's a different story.  He had so much fun just chillin w/ everyone but that boy wasn't gonna ride the rides.  Nope.  No chance.  He was perfectly content to relax in the stroller and eat snacks while the other kids, including Lily Kate, rode rides.  He didn't have a choice on the boat ride - so he reluctantly joined up.  It was a really really fun day - I hope we get a repeat! ps: Thanks Jenny for sending me some of these pictures!  :)

 This is a perfect example of the day...

 I got to ride a ride w/ Jackson too!  He opted to ride the big swings!

This wasn't on purpose actually.  :)

3 Months Old!

90 days have gone by very very fast.  Too fast.  This little guy is awesome.  He started cackling laughing in the last week or two, and it's amazing.  I could listen to that forever...  He weighs 12 pounds, 12 oz. He has been sleeping 11 hours straight (no waking at all!) for the last couple weeks... His bedtime has gradually moved up to 730pm..  He eats at 630am for his first feeding.  He is so funny - he is happy 90% of the time, and when he gets mad, it comes on suddenly and very strong.  He doesn't waste time whining - he goes straight to the screams.  He eats every 3.5 hours, about 5oz each bottle, 5 bottles/day.  He LOVES watching his big brothers... and let me tell you - they love to entertain him.  He is starting to really like his paci... He sleeps swaddled in his woombie still and wants that paci to fall asleep... but once it falls out, he's ok with that too.  His favorite time of day is right when he first wakes up (happy, happy baby!) in the morning, during his bath (he gets the spa treatment), and right after he eats.  His reflux seems to be at bay a little with the Zantac.  He takes it twice a day, and for the most part, it seems to be helping.  He still throws up (projectile style) once every 3-4 days or so, so that's improvement.  His hair finally grown back on top of his head and it is very light!  His gorgeous eyes are still very much daddy's - very very blue (MELT MY HEART!).  His smile lights up the room.... He's just perfection.

It's just what boys do.

Little Gym Graduation!

Jackson finished his Little Gym class a few weeks ago and it was a sweet little end-of-class session they did.  We got to watch them perform their "sports skills" and have some free play... It was nice.  Jackson was stoked to gt a medal.. 

Jackson LOVED Mr. Stephen so much, and I'm glad Ethan will get to have him this fall.  Jackson really loved going to this class... So glad we did it.
