The Big Bad Wolf

Instead of a UT football player this year,Caleb decided to tell me at the last minute that he wanted to look like the big bad wolf. We decorated cookies tonight for Halloween. Caleb wanted the black icing so we let him decorate with it. Caleb was left at the table while Shane and I were cleaning up Caden and the huge mess that was made. When we stopped to see what was keeping Caleb so occupied, this is what we found...

This picture doesn't even show the magnitude of his "decorating" himself. Hehad even gone the extra mile and painted black icing on the tops of each finger and toe to truly look like the big bad wolf. He is something else!



Caden just enjoyed and savored every bite of the cookie he decorated!

Family Pics

Before Caroline was born, I told Shane the one thing I really wanted was some great photos taken of the family. I found this photographer through some friends and I just LOVED her work. A week after Caroline was born, Jadie came out to take some pics of the family. I told her that I really didn't have high expectations of getting good pics of the boys because they never sit still. Well, Jadie must have some sort of magical power because the boys did great and I am SOOOO happy with the results. Take a look...

1 month already

I can't believe Caroline is a month old already. Time is flying by. I have to say that Caroline is definitely the most relaxed and laid back baby. She loves to cuddle and is the best sleeper out of all of them. She has already exprienced her first trip to the beach! She is getting so big and I'm looking forward to the many more "firsts" for her that are coming up!




I just love this picture! Her little bottom up inthe air is too cute. I got some bloomers for Caroline to wear, but they are still just a little too big!

Beach Time!!!

What do you do when the forecast calls for rain ALL week? You head to the beach. Beka called me the night before asking if we wanted to go to the beach since the rental was available. I of course said sure. So, with a few hours to pack for 5, one of which is a newborn, we loaded up and headed south. The boys were so excited when they woke up and told them we were going to the beach. With 2 newborns and 4 toddlers, some would say we were crazy. I like to think of it as adventurous!
The car ride was smooth and the weather was fabulous! We had a great time! The boys all played together on the beach and Caroline and Josiah just slept. Of course the trip would not have been as fabulous if it weren't for the help of the best sitter in the world Miriam. The boys had so much fun with her. We are already looking forward to our next trip to the beach!

Having fun in the sand and sun!!!

Sweet Josiah and Caroline napping on the beach!

All the boys posing for a pic!

Splish Splash

Caroline got to use her big girl tub today!!! She loved every minute of it! I can't believe she is already 2 weeks old...time has flown!

Our Little Volunteers!!!

Tonight we had our first official tailgate with all 3 of our volunteers! The boys had a blast and Caroline pretty much slept the whole time. The food was great and even though our Vols lost, we still had a great time getting out of the house! Maybe the Volunteers will pull out a win next week!

Pumpkin Patch

We went to the pumpkin patch today with all of the cousins and family. The weather was great and the kids had a blast! We saw the animals, played in the maze and corn. We also enjoyed a nice picnic lunch! We are getting ready for Halloween! This is our favorite time of year!

Welcome home Caroline!!!

We are quickly getting adjusted to having a little one around the house. We came home Thursday and are settling back in to a routine. The boys are loving on Caroline so much and constantly asking where she is, what she's doing, and if they can hold her. It is so sweet! Thankfully, she is the calmest baby out of the 3. The noise level doesn't seem to bother her and she is a great sleeper! She actually slept for almost 5 hours last night. I know that it most likely won't last, but I can hope, can't I? We hope you are having a great week! Thank you to everyone for all of your help with the boys, food, errands, and most of all your prayers. We appreciate all you do and we love you so much!!!


Caleb loving on his baby sister!


The big brothers!!!
