The Fish Tank

One of the most precious things about being a mom, a mom of boys in particular, is watching the bond between them grow!I love hearing the giggles between these three little guys. I am looking forward to watching them continue to grow in their relationship with one another. I am beyond blessed! They bring me so much joy! I love how happy they are! I love this picture! I flash forward to their teen years when they are doing something crazy and laughing their behinds off! Don't worry Wyatt, you'll be crazy in that tractor soon enough!

We found it! We found Jackson's niche. My nephew, Joshua, has been in Tae Kwon Do for a while now and my sister raves about it. Last time they were here she told me I should get Jack in it. I took him to a trial class and was hooked...and so was he! Jackson is INCREDIBLE! He is so focused and determined. There is a wonderful home, school, Martial Arts connection that helps Jack with confidence and discipline working towards attaining a goal. Recently, Jack tested for his yellow belt. The kid worked so hard for this belt in all capacities of his life! We are so proud of him and excited to see where this takes him! He did good towards the end enjoying the game and kicking the ball. He'd take some breaks We were WAY too hot and sweaty for soccer anyway!

Dear Wyatt, Precious little monkey. Mommy must apologize. What they say about the third child is true...You are not forgotten, life just get busy, time passes, and mommy has to write your 3 and 4 month letter when you are already 5 months old! You are incredible. Three months came around and WOW, what a difference! You are such a smiley little fella! You are easily soothed and love your big brothers; especially Jackson! He can make you smile and laugh in any situation! You are sleeping well sleeping through the night by 4 months. We moved you to your crib, sniff sniff, at four months. You love your crib and room putting yourself to sleep most nights! At about four and a half months we started you on rice cereal. You'd think you always ate solids the way you took to it. You are a "go-with-the-flow" kid smiling, laughing, and just being happy no matter where you are or where we take you. Mommy, Daddy, Jackson, and Grady love you more than words! We could NOT imagine life wi

...the Happiest Place on Earth??? Our good friends, the Shubins, blessed us with a day at Disneyland. We had an amazing time!!! Michelle met us there right away and Andrew came after work. Jack LOVED Andrew as all small children do:) My friend, Jen, and her kiddos met us for a bit too. Jack went on all the "big" rides loving every minute of it. Michelle helped us strapping on Wyatt while I strapped on Grady so we could ride Pirates, The Haunted Mansion, and the Jungle Cruise. Michelle and I took turns with the big boys so we could enjoy the big rides too. I don't think I've ever laughed as hard as Michelle and I did on Space Mountain. SO much fun! We ended the night with fireworks and Grady and Jack getting into a light saber war with their light up light sabers. Jack and Wyatt crashed out in the stroller on the way back to the car while Grady chatted up a storm on Scott's shoulders. I love going to Disneyland and love it even more when I can experience it through

Wow! I will, we will, forever travel by car...hopefully RV someday. I LOVED our road trip to California! Some of our best times were in the car! From the funny things that were said to the precious conversations we had! We took the 40 to California stopping in Albuquerque and Flagstaff and the 10 home. I enjoyed interstate 40; so gorgeous! The boys did fantastic! I couldn't believe it! Grady was a little whiny being that he had recently learned to walk and the last thing he wanted was to be strapped down all day. We dubbed him our "rock star" because he would run around the hotel rooms screaming and terrorizing the place because he was so happy to be free! Jack played with toys, colored, read, played his Leapster, and watched movies the entire time. Wyatt slept. Which for him, that was amazing at the time since he was just getting over being colic. I will always remember our first road trip as a family! This really brought home the reality of making memories as a family a
