4 Weeks Old



It is hard to believe that Dylan is already 4 weeks old. He is doing great and seems to be fitting right in with all of this gang. The boys are ready for him to play outside with them.. I have told them that will be awhile.

A day at the lake!





Finally a day of relaxation after so much stress lately! We did not know how relaxing it would be with 4 kids but it was great. We even picked up Riley and Reese to ride along( with Marc and Kerri of course). Little Dylan slept the whole time on his first boat ride. The boys actually got in the freezing water, it did not last long. Carleigh just took in the sun with Mom and had a good time. The summer begins for us now!

Planting Flowers



Carleigh was so excited about working in the yard this weekend. She could not get enough of it and was very proud of her finished product. Of course how many little girls do you know that have to be dressed up to work in the dirt!

We will miss you Buck.

Today we had to let Buck go. He was 14 and has been a part of our lives for a very long time. We loved him with all our heart and it was very hard to loose him but we know he is in heaven chasing ducks again. We will miss him so much!

Brotherly Love


The boys really love their little brother and he really loves them also. It has been 2 weeks and they still want to hold him and do everything for him. Their most favorite thing to do is lay on the bean bag with him and watch TV. That's my boys!
Our friends Mark and Ginny came over this weekend to spend time with the kids. They LOVE them! Ginny brought cookies and ice cream which really won them over. I have a feeling they will have at least 4 kids too... if not more!

Special Visitors




Dylan got to meet some very special friends last night, Anna Kate and Lauren. The girls really loved him and each one had to hold him. Lauren did not last long with him but Anna Kate did not want to give him up! I think they may be ready for a little brother Bek! Another very special visitor came last night also, Sara. Sara is very special to all the kids and I think they really missed her because as you can see they would not leave her alone! Ok Sara so the pressure is on, can you handle all four of them now when we go out.... that is if we ever get to go out again!

Little "D"



We call Dylan Little "D" because he is such a little man. He fits in the palm of Tom's hand and I thought this picture showed how little he is. He is such a sweet baby and is adjusting to our family so well. We are just so glad he is here.

Happy Easter!





We took another adventure out for Easter... we are really getting brave. We all went to the lakehouse to spend Easter with their cousins and Meme and Grandad. Of course they had fun, especially with the baskets Meme and Grandad gave them that were bigger than they were!

Time to dye some eggs.... what an adventure!




Meme was in charge of the eggs this year and the kids loved it. Thank goodness for Meme!!! She came prepared for everything and the kids had so much fun. Chase even had to dye an egg for Dylan.

and the Park




After the zoo we went to the park to play. Chase has the monkey bars figured out! Maybe it is because he is part monkey... or that he is scared of nothing.

A Day at the Zoo



We decided to try an adventure with all 4 of the kids on Friday... a day at the zoo. They did really good and we all had a great time. The kids loved Daddy coming to the zoo with us.

Big Sister



Carleigh adores Dylan. She wants to change him and hold him all the time. It is funny to see the difference in the boys and girl with a baby. She is so motherly already. She really does not like him to cry. She calls him "My baby".

More of Dylan




Just some pictures to share of Dylan. He is doing great and we love finally having him home. He may be small but he is very strong and really, really sweet.

Proud Brothers



Chase and Hunter are very proud of their little brother. It is so funny to watch them with him. They want to do everything for him , although I am sure that will change soon. Hunter's only concern is that he does not want to change any diapers and Chase wants to know when he will have teeth so he can eat. Dylan you are in for a ride with these two!!
