We made the attempt tonight to give Dylan his cereal and applesauce. It was a

family event. Hunter the photograher, Chase the director, me feeding and Carleigh trying to help. All Dylan cared about was how fast the food got to his mouth and how mad it made him when he was done. Guess we will be moving on to solid foods now! Needless to say there was much more on his hands then in his mouth.

Meme HELP ME!!!!!

Tucker goes to school

Everyday when I load up Carleigh and Dylan to pick the boys up Tucker goes right to the car too. He actually goes with me anywhere I go and sits right in the passenger seat. If Tom is with us he looks at him like " You are in my seat!" HE is honestly another child!

A Girl Day

Carleigh and her new friend Madison

Carleigh and Brielle
Carleigh and I had a great girl day today . She had her first day of dance which she LOVED. Her new friend and neighbor Madison went with her and they really enjoyed every minute of it. Her "Tap Tap" shoes did not come in time for her class but we got them right after and she has tapped all afternoon! We also went to visit another new friend who joined the world today little Brielle. She is another neighbor and Carleigh could not wait to see the new baby! Finally some girls!!!!

School boys

Today was a big day...more so for me. Chase started kindergarten and I had a really hard time with it. Hunter now in 2nd grade could have cared a less about me walking him in and the teacher even told him to tell me bye. We then headed to Chase's class where he went right in. The teacher read a story to the kids, and parents about the kissing hand and starting school. She then gave each child a heart and then told them to give their parents one. Chase put his on...you can see it in the picture and then he told me." Mom I think you need both of them so you know I am thinking about you." I did not loose it in the class but got to the car and that was it. My baby is now in kindergarten and I cannot believe it. It seems like yesterday they both were Dylan's size. Time flies!!

Tuckered out

Dylan fell asleep on the couch today and Tucker decided to take a nap right beside him. IT was too cute. My 2 babies... and I guess that Tucker thought that Dylan would sleep better with a bone.

Dancing Girl

Today we signed up for Carleigh's first dance class. She was so excited and then heart broken because she wanted to dance today. I am sure she will be sleeping in her dance clothes and ballet shoes! I just cannot wait to see if she if this excited when the class actually starts...I will keep you posted!

Sleeping Beauty

Need I say more?

The Great "BUMBO SEAT"

Where was this with the other 3? This is the greatest thing in the world and as you can see Dylan LOVES it! It goes from room to room with him in it and he thinks he is so big sitting up looking around. I highly suggest to anyone you know having a baby!

No more Night Shift

Last night we had Tom a no more night shift party! The kids are so glad(and so am I) to have him home and back to normal. We got him a big cookie, which was torn into before I could get a picture, to celebrate! We are glad to have you home Daddy!!!

Hot ! Hot ! Hot!

With it so hot outside all the kids wanted to do tonight was stay in the sprinkler. Carleigh joined right in with the boys goggles and all. They really had a good set up because our neighbor had their sprinkler on and we had ours on and so they ran from yard to yard. I felt like joining in...maybe next time.

The SImple mind of boys!

The boys and their 2 buddies have had this project going for 2 days. They needed a roof for the trampoline so that when it rained they could still get on. They have been using every rope and tie they could find to tie the pool to the trampoline for the roof. It has been so funny to watch. It is amazing what can entertain little boys. Now they are happy and content that the trampoline has a roof.

The Boys

Dylan is now 4 months and he thinks his brothers are really great. They can always make him laugh and smile...and cry too! I am really in for it if he tries to follow in their footsteps which I am sure he will.

More Beach Pictures

I thought last year trying to get a picture of 3 was hard but 4 is much harder!! Here are a few that turned out ok. Maybe next year it will be easier with Dylan a little older... who knows.

and Dylan....

Well he really just mostly sleep and hung out with Meme. He was very good but I am sure next year he will be full blast with the other 3!!!

A Last Minute Beach Trip!!

Meme and I decided to take the kids to the beach one last time before school starts. We decided this on Sunday night and left Monday morning so it was very last minute. They had a blast. We went to Charleston and stayed on the river. I also took them downtown for the first time and they loved all the excitement there. I seem to forget that they have not seen all of that even though they have been to Charleston a hundred times. We really had a good and Thank you Meme for helping me with such a last minute trip. Now we are just ready for Daddy to be off of night shift!!!

Finally Back!

After 3 VERY long weeks the boys friends came back from Washington State. I really didn't think they would make it without them but we all survived! Glad to have you back Kale and Tyler.

Moon Sand

One of Carleigh's favorite presents was from her 2 best friends Lauren and Anna Kate. IT was moon sand. You can tell by the pictures how much fun she had with it! Clean up for mom was not quite as fun.

Watermelon Time!!!

Tonight we decided to cut open a watermelon that Chase has been dying to cut! Our neighbor Kathy came over to eat with us. Chase and Carleigh REALLY enjoyed it! Hunter said he is not much of a watermelon eater..... I don't know where he gets that from!

One spoiled dog!

It is amazing how fast Tucker can become so spoiled. Since Tom was on night shift last he

made his spot right on Daddy's pillow. What a protector!
