Updated Pictures

I am finally getting around to updating the blog.  Here are some pictures of the kids that I recently took.  We're working on getting a decent family picture...it's a lot harder now with a baby!

Road Trip 2010

4, 012.1 miles later, we made it back home after being gone for 15 days.  We had so much fun visiting family and friends and driving through 11 states of the country (try to imagine that with four kids 2 months old – 10 years!)!  Stay tuned for our report…

Full of Smiles!

We’ve reached the smiling milestone over here at our house!  There has been so much going on and we’ve been so busy, I was afraid that we were going to miss his first smiles.  Doesn’t it just melt your heart?!  We sure love this little guy!

A Whole Decade

Can you believe this cute girl is 10?  Me neither.  She’s a spunky, full of life, always keeps you on your toes kind of girl.  She lives life on the dramatic side and is constantly finding ways to keep things interesting.  She is an amazing big sister to all her brothers, and she loves to be super silly!  She’s so creative and fun to be around.

She’s growing into a beautiful young woman and we love her so much!

4 Weeks Old

This little guy is four weeks old already!  I know it’s so cliché to say, but time really has gone by so fast.  It’s hard to keep up with how fast he’s changing.  He is starting to fill out and we love his little chipmunk cheeks.  He is such a fun little baby and is usually pretty happy unless he’s hungry or over tired.  We’re surviving on the little amount of sleep we’re getting and are gearing up for summer vacation starting in just a couple of days.

I was finally able to get some of the sleepy newborn pictures that I wanted with him the other day.  Caleb was my little helper through the whole process and I think we were able to get a few good ones.  Don’t you just want to kiss him all over?!

Toothless

In all the new baby excitement going on around here, a few other exciting things have happened as well.   Sometime between the very end of April and very beginning of May (I really can’t remember the exact date), Brandon lost his first tooth.  He was very excited and couldn’t wait for it to happen and was absolutely thrilled that it happened during school.  He came out of school at the end of the day very proud holding his little baggie with his tooth in it.  He couldn’t wait to show everyone and even let our favorite crossing guard know about it too.  He couldn’t wait for the tooth fairy to come “pay” him a visit and although he didn’t get as much as the kid next door, he seemed fairly pleased with his 50 cents.  He’s already got another loose tooth and can’t wait to cash it in!

A couple more…
