Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving time already! We had a very nice day Thursday, I really wanted to watch the Macy's parade with the boys so we cuddled up in the back room while football was going in the living room and watched for a little while before the boys were over it and ended up with Ed in the football room ha! That's ok though I guess it's probably good they prefer that over a parade. Then we slowly got ourselves ready and headed over to my aunt and uncles house for dinner. Dinner was delicious as always; three huge turkeys to choose from and all the goodies to go with, I was in a food coma in no time and the boys were in pie heaven with all the different ones to chose from! Then we came home around 6 and pretty much crashed for the night ;)

33 Weeks

We're getting so close to meeting little Truman! I'm getting so excited, anxious, nervous and pretty much any other emotion you can think of. It's gone by so quickly though and for that I am very thankful! I can't wait to have my 3 boys together and all the joy that that brings!

Jumpy Guy Game

These two kids crack me up, we have a video game called Little Big Planet for the ps3 that's a kid game, and for the most part it's just a low stress pretty much need to only push x to jump (hence, they call it the jumpy guy game) and over to run. The boys were pretty terrible at it at first but mason's really getting the hang of it and even Waylon has come a long way. It's been kind of good for them too because when way gets stuck mason is, for the most part, really good with him, he'll take his control and get him unstuck and then give it back or he'll try to explain to him what he needs to do to get out (that cracks me up)! Who said video games are bad? Now, I'd be lying if it didn't always end when masons patience run dry or Waylon's attention span wonders to the next thing, but its a fun way to spend a cold winter morning.

First snow 2012

The boys were so excited this morning when they noticed a dusting of snow on the grass, it reminded me of how excited I used to get (and still kinda do) as a kid when it would snow- the anticipation of getting out there is almost torture! I made cinnamon rolls and orange julius's for breakfast and the snow was beginning to disappear but then, just when their disappointment was settling in, it opened up and is dumping snow as I write and watch the boys run around out there. Too fun, although I don't know why their first reaction is to lay in it but none the less they are quite happy!

Truman's Baby Shower

This weekend a sweet friend of mine from church threw me a sweet shower to help prepare for Truman's arrival since it has been a few years since my last baby. It was such a lovely shower, she decorated everything so cute with all kinds of trucks and had this cute onesie banner and balloons- it was great! And I got all kinds of fun things, Truman is a lucky guy!

Halloween

The Holidays seem to get more and more fun each year as the boys get older, and especially this year with mason in his pre k class. We made cupcakes and he got to wear his costume to school and thought that was so fun. Then that night we took our little captain America and iron man back to the school for some trunker treating there. Afterwards I wanted to go to our friends old neighborhood because we've spent the last 3 halloweens there and I was feeling sad that they weren't here to trick or treat with. So we went over there and did 4 houses and I was beat once again so we went home and cuddled up to watch The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown.

Number 3 is on his way!

So I thought I should jot down the fact that I'm pregnant, ha! Baby boy number 3, Truman, is due New Year's Day but I'm certain we'll be meeting him before Christmas. I'm so excited to be having 3 little boys, ill admit I was wanting a girl so badly but The Lord has really brought my heart to full contentment and pure joy in being a mom to 3 boys. I'm 32 weeks and already so anxious to meet him and see if he'll look like my fair skinned curly headed Mason or my dark skinned dark straight haired Waylon or if he's going to take on a look of his own somewhere in between.

5 years old!

It's sounds funny even saying but I have a 5 year old and he loves dinosaurs! Anything dinosaur is a must in our these days so I thought what better way to celebrate the big 5th birthday than with a special dino party. I started planning a few months in advance because each birthday seems to sneak up on me, Ed thought I was nuts when in August I was planning my menu but I'm glad I did. We had it all, from dinosaur shaped foods, to dinosaur for the kids to paint, I even made some Dino teeth necklaces and Dino eggs with a baby dinosaur inside! It was the first birthday that he's had friends over so I wanted to make sure fun was had by all so we even talked dad into a piñata! I was exhausted by the end of the day but I think Mason really enjoyed his day.

Pre K

I can hardly even believe it but my not so baby baby boy started pre k this fall. We decided it was probably a good idea to get him ready for kindergarten so we signed him up! He absolutely loves it too, his teacher is awesome she really pushes him and had the patience of a saint. He's made lots of friends too, a little girl named Charlee who seems to be one of his main friends, and Tim and a few others boys that I'm starting to hear more and more about. He's starting to be able to write his name all by himself and really getting his ABC's and numbers- it's so fun to see him growing and learning.
