I had a whole
post that I wanted to share with you about Carson and Trevor's Scout camp experience.
Then I took the pictures off my camera and was getting ready to put them up here when the hard drive they were on crashed. Good news is those are the ONLY pictures we lost. Bad news is we lost those pictures. What a bummer. But have no fear, I've got other fun ones to show you.....from my cell phone.</div>

The boys were jamming out to Cee Lo Green's "Forget You" in the car. It was hilarious and I tried my best to video it. I think Bennett may be the next Cee Lo, kid just needs a pair of shades. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKxodgpyGec" target="_blank">Here</a> is the link to the actual Cee Lo video. </div>

The kid likes his beans! And seeing as how he ate a ton last night and slept till 5, I'm trying it for lunch and maybe he'll sleep for more then 45 minutes. Wish me luck! And sanity.</div>

Declan caught his first fish Memorial Day Weekend, a walleye. He was pretty excited. The boys were at the Outdoor Campus taking a fishing class the other day and Carson caught 3 Bluegills. I wasn't there, so no pictures or videos but the story was fun to hear! These experiences make parenting so much fun.</div>

Welcome summer! We've been enjoying our first week of summer vacation. Bedtimes are later, little boys are sleeping in, picnics are happening, sunscreen is on and we are soaking it up! </div>

We dug out our "baby" bike the other day for Bennett. He doesn't want to steer or pedal. He'd just prefer to be pushed....that's a fun game. </div>

In an effort to be completely ridiculous this summer we orchestrated a bike parade with our friends. The kids thought it was fantastic. And really with streamers and balloons on your bike, who wouldn't?<br />

The flowers and garden are planted. I sure hope their eagerness to be gardeners is still strong when the weeds come. Carson is working on a Cub Scout badge for gardening so he has no choice! The garden is full with 8 tomato plants, 1 pepper plant, 2 pumpkin plants, peas, green beans, lettuce, carrots, cucumbers and basil. As much as I want our house to sell I'm going to be really sad if we aren't here to enjoy all these yummy veggies. Thank goodness for the farmer's market!</div>Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16192287112294383495noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1097146801352066458.post-7246924455789744042012-05-18T18:26:00.002-07:002012-05-18T18:26:36.164-07:00Three on Thursday: It's Summer<div style="text-align: center;">
School's Out. Our house is still for sale. The garden is going in this weekend. Soccer is almost over. We had a showing today. I haven't planted any flowers yet. We had Cherry Berry to celebrate school's ending. It was 90 degrees today. We ran a 5k last week. Our summer calendar is full with lots of fun things. Maddox has a tooth. Bennett will be in speech until September and is making wonderful progress. The pools open next week. I made sun tea yesterday. Had a wine slush. Maddox crawls everywhere. Carson passed 1st grade. We filled an entire grocery sack with Emily's hair last weekend when we sheered her. Didn't cry at the end of the year mass today like I did last year but I did have a lump in my throat. I'm reading To Kill a Mockingbird. I got a new phone. I'm making kabobs this weekend. I found a fun board game at a garage sale yesterday. My pumpkin plants are planted in my straw bales from last year. Enjoyed a fun couples date night with some really good friends. Life is busy. Summer is here!</div>

On Sunday we had a big Cub Scout event. Carson officially became a Wolf. Being new to the whole Cub Scouting experience this was all very new to me. Lucky for us we learned just 2 weeks out that we would get to decorate and plan the whole thing. Yay! So to say we were under a bit of stress would be the understatement of the year. I'm happy to report that it went off without a hitch...well except that the ceilings were too low for our flags but that was easily fixed. We had 92 people attend! And these 1st grade boys were more then delighted to officially become Wolves. We have been blessed with a great group of boys. Carson is signed up for 2 different Cub Scout camps this summer and he is beyond thrilled. Declan is desperate to be a Cub Scout. Poor kid needs to wait another year. I hope his enthusiasm doesn't waiver</div>

Trying to get a picture of all four boys is impossible, nearly impossible. 99% of my pictures end up with something like this. Someone doesn't want to smile (usually Carson...he says he forgets how), someone's crabby (usually Declan), someone has doughnut on their shirt (Bennett) or someone needs a nap (Maddox). But every once in awhile the picture gods align and we get a decent shot (don't look to close there is some doughnut on someone's shirt). And then I have fun with Photoshop!</div>

Not much to say today. We're busy with swimming, soccer, Cub Scouts and trying to get our house on the market. I've painted more things white in the last three weeks then I care to talk about. Trevor has stayed up WAY to late more nights then he cares to talk about. The weather has been fantastic and we've been spending most of our free time outside, the tv is on less and the bbq is on more, we're dirty, sandy, sweaty, snacking on Popsicles and having picnics.....And it's not even April! It's a good season in our life, busy, but good. </div>

Maddox tried bananas this week. They went over pretty well. He stinks at taking a nap and would really like to eat three times a night. I'm anxiously awaiting school being over so I can try and get him on a better schedule.<br />

I took the boys to the zoo the other day to let daddy get some work done at home. We didn't make it to the zoo last year since it was a billion degrees out every day and I was pregnant. Bennett was in love!</div>

Carson finally lost his other front tooth this week. When it popped out you could see the other one coming in already. The other side hasn't come in yet and neither have the bottom ones. He's been taking speech at school once a week and he complained the other day that he didn't have a cage anymore to keep his tongue in (it's a speech trick to "keep y our tongue in the cage"). I told him it would come back but he'd have to imagine one being there. What a toothless Ruth!</div>

I finally gave in and gave this kid some cereal. He actually loved it, dive bombed both the spoon and the cup. I've only done it twice but hopefully this eager beaver attitude continues. I think the other boys just spit it all back at me. He's just had plain cereal so far. This weekend if we try again I might add a vegetable, maybe Avacoado.....wonder how he'll like that? Contrary to popular belief it has not helped him sleep better. Sigh. </div>

He's a peanut, a tall peanut. Today at the doctor he weighed in at 18 pounds 8 oz, 28.5 inches long and a 18 3/4 inch head. He's off the charts in length and his head size (of course...poor kids got their momma's head) and he's sitting at about the 75th for his weight. He's a string bean! How does that compare to his brothers? Well, I've included their 6 month pictures with their stats. </div>

Poor Carson, I wasn't on top of it when he was the baby and never took month pictures. At 6 months he was 20lbs 6 oz, 28 inches long and an 18 inch head. </div>

Declan still takes the cake for being the smallest....but just barely! At 6 months he was 18lbs 6 oz, 27 inches long and a 17 3/4 inch head. So Maddox has him by 2 ounces but he's also an inch and a half LONGER! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
And then there's this kid. Look at how chubby and cute he was?? At 6 months he takes the cake weighing 23lbs 9 oz and 27 inches long. 18.5 inch head. I never would have guessed that him and Maddox would have the same size head. Bennett's has always seemed huge but not Maddox. No wonder the doctor was a little concerned. Nothing to worry about now though, we'll check it in 3 months and see how he's doing. </div>

So there's all my babies at 6 months! </div>

Bennett has been doing speech for about 4 months now. For awhile I wasn't sure it was working and had all but convinced myself he would never talk. Many people kept saying that one day I'd wish he'd stop talking. They are probably right but alot of people can't begin to understand how difficult it is to deal with a two year old who just grunts. Two year olds are difficult no matter what but throw in a complete lack of communication and we were both ready to throw in the towel. Sue, Bennett's speech therapist is amazing, funny, patient, kind and she loves playing with Bennett every week. And thankfully she's been able to work with him and break his speech barrier. He's talking! ALL. THE. TIME. He's copying most things we say, trying really hard to tell me what he wants and needs, counting, saying his colors and demanding "tweats, ooce, and ilk" (treats, juice and milk). We still need to work on him saying the whole word since he seems to miss the first syllable of almost every word. But we've made progress and we are so proud of him!</div>

Isn't he adorable? Yes, he is! I tried taking some 6 month pictures when the boys were gone a few weeks ago. It was kind of a failure since he wasn't real cooperative and he just wanted to eat my white sheet. </div>

But I got a few cute ones. Everyone seems to think he doesn't look like any of the other boys. I kind of agree. He's still skinny, can't wait to see what he weighs next week at the doctor. Let's all say a prayer that it's under 22 pounds. As obnoxious as the infant seat is to carry, I'm not ready to give it up for it's convenience of taking him anywhere in it, especially during nap time! I'm also not ready to have to carry him everywhere on my hip. </div>

Snuggled in bed reading! What a fun weekend. Carson is already talking about when we'll go next!</div>Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16192287112294383495noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1097146801352066458.post-54390254029087225432012-02-23T10:04:00.004-08:002012-02-23T10:07:42.872-08:00Three on Thursday: No picturesNo pictures this week. I've got pictures I want to show you, some pretty cute ones actually, but they are on my camera and I haven't had time to take them off and play with them yet. We are going out of town tomorrow, surprising the boys with a fun trip to a water park, they are going to lose their minds when they see it. So I'm busy. We're all busy actually....I should just come to the realization that this is our life! What are we busy doing??<br />
<br />
* Getting ready for our Pack Meeting tonight. It's Trevor's first as Cubmaster. I'm busy blowing up balloons for a fun game and making cookies. Trevor's nervous but I know he'll do great!<br />
* We've been trying to complete as many Cub Scout projects as we can with Carson so he can earn his badges before the end of the year. Since our Pack got off to a VERY slow start we are doing alot of catch up. He's had to do some memorizing and crafting but he should be all set for tonight for his first badge. He's ecstatic!<br />
*Bennett is pooping on the potty. As in, he wants to poop EVERY time he goes pee. That's fun when you know he doesn't need too (because he's pooped 4 times already in the day) and your trying to convince him to get off the pot. Also, he'd like to watch himself poop but he has a giant belly and he can't see it. He tries though, usually by sitting as far back on the toilet and looking back....usually with his head almost touching the toilet. I should really get a picture of it since it's quite the site to see!<br />
* Maddox is a rolling machine. He can make it all the way across the living room or until he runs into something. The boys think its a hoot.<br />
* I'm busy making baby food for the little nugget. I'm not sure when I'll start, I'm in no hurry but our freezer is getting filled with avocado, sweet potatoes, mango, papaya and some squash so far. I've got lots of other things I want to freeze too. I've had a lot of fun doing it. Hopefully he likes it!<br />
* Found out last week that I can let Declan stay after school until Carson gets out for Extended Learning. It's $15 a day plus lunch. I made the mistake of telling them and now Carson is DYING to have him there for lunch. He's asked every morning if Declan is staying at school. I'm hoping we can find some extra money to let him do it a few times. Especially because next year when Carson is in 2nd grade he won't eat or have recess with the Kindergarteners.<br />
* We ordered flooring for our basement. Yay! It will be here Monday. I can't wait to have something down there besides rugs and cement.<br />
* Parent teacher conferences were last week. Both boys are doing great! Hard to believe he have just a little over 2 months of school left. <br />
<br />
Time to pack and do laundry and clean and probably find something for lunch. I promise there will be pictures next week!!Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16192287112294383495noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1097146801352066458.post-45122044477674186752012-02-16T07:00:00.000-08:002012-02-16T07:00:46.565-08:00Three on Thursday: Sick and Tired<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
All of the boys have been sick in the past two weeks. I shouldn't really complain because this is the first sickness we've had all winter and really, no one's puking, we're just coughing our lungs up every 2.3 seconds...which in case your curious can be REALLY annoying. It's a fun thing to get frustrated over (I'm working on my patience!). It's better then puke...I don't handle puke well, just ask Trevor. But it's still hard to see them not feeling well or sleeping well. Hopefully we've turned the corner and everyone will be back to their usual crazy, smiley self soon!</div>

Declan had his tooth pulled a year ago and there's still no sign of a new one coming. Hopefully soon! The boys are all hanging out with grandma and Papa for a few days. It's a much, MUCH needed recharge for Trevor and I. Trevor is taking some time off work and we plan to be lazy, eat good food and SLEEP! </div>

Trevor has been working a few overnights in the past month. Last week when he was home sleeping in the afternoon I went to let him know I was going to leave the boys home while I got Carson from school. When I went into our room he wasn't there. Weird...checked the bathroom, no Trevor, the big boys' room, no Trevor.....where could he be? Apparently sleeping in Bennett's crib! I'm here to tell you that man can sleep anywhere!</div>Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16192287112294383495noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1097146801352066458.post-2830194042750804832012-02-09T08:00:00.000-08:002012-02-09T08:00:02.302-08:00Three on Thursday: Look whose getting big!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Guess who turned 5 months yesterday? It's weird because I keep thinking he's a newborn but then he starts rolling all over the place, laughing, grabbing everything he can get his little paws on, following Emily all over the house and falling asleep all by himself. This 5 months has gone by so fast, like they always do. I've started making some of my own baby food and freezing it for him. I don't really have any intention of starting anytime soon....that seems like such a chore! But when I do he'll have some avocado, sweet potatoes, carrots and whatever else I can find to make for him. I hope he likes it!</div>

I had a really crappy day the other day. Nothing real specific just a long day of mothering. Towards the end of it we were in line at the car wash and Declan started being silly and Bennett thought it was hysterical. His laugh sure brightened my otherwise awful day. It was just the thing I needed to hear to remind me why I didn't want to find the nearest 9 to 5 office job. </div>Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16192287112294383495noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1097146801352066458.post-29453690389606889712012-02-02T08:00:00.000-08:002012-02-02T08:00:10.394-08:00Three on Thursday: Cell Phone Pictures<div style="text-align: center;">
Thank God for smart phones. I mean, how did the world function without them? How did I function without it? I couldn't be on Facebook at any given moment, take pictures of my kids doing various silly things to send to my husband, find out where a birthday party was when we showed up at the wrong place or run 2.17 without stopping while listening to Pandora ON MY PHONE. Oh I suppose they called their friends to find out what they were doing or wrote them a letter, used a real camera, maybe even one with film, stopped at a gas station to ask for directions and well....I don't know how anyone ran before the invention of Itunes or Pandora....to me that seems pretty much impossible and something I don't want to experience. I'm high maintenance like that. So, if you look through my phone you'll find lots of fun pictures, mostly of my kids and lately of things I've cooked or baked....like homemade lasagna and bread or the chicken salad I made, for my mom and I, that was delicious. Apparently, I'm turning into a Betty Crocker right before your eyes! </div>

Declan started soccer last week. It's right after he gets out of school on Wednesdays and most of those little kids are in his preschool class. As you can see Bennett would also like to be part of the class, as would two other siblings...can you see them? It's good for Declan, he's been needing something to keep him busy besides his baby brothers. </div>

Oh it's two pictures! We went to the Children's Museum the other day to enjoy our membership once last time. Our favorite room is the water room.

Well, I guess if I'm going to post three pictures every THursday then I'm going to have to start taking more pictures. Ha! Life is busy. Like REALLY busy and as a result, it seems my time behind the camera is few and far between. I knew having four kids would be busy but I guess I didn't realize it would be the kind of busy that would have me wondering "just what did I get done today?" Turns out it mostly involves keeping 4 boys fed, dressed, schooled, diapered, nursed, napped and entertained takes up Every. Single. Second. Of. My. Day. It's the kind of busy I love but it's also the kind of busy that leaves me completely exhausted every day. I can't make it through a 30 minute show or read 4 pages in my book before I'm lights out. I'm quite the site after 8pm....just ask my husband. </div>

We're slowly trying to figure this guy out. Sometimes he wants rocked, sometimes he wants swaddled, sometimes he wants his arms out, sometimes he wants to sleep on his tummy. It's a giant puzzle that both Trevor and I struggle to put together every single day. We were blessed with Bennett who just went to sleep, still goes to sleep for that matter, anywhere, anytime. </div>

And then there's this one. His speech is really doing well. He's got a ways to go to be understandable but we've added lots of new words to our vocab. Most noticeable is the word "NO." Why is that always the easiest to say? At least it sounds good coming out of his cute little face....even when it looks like this!</div>

My dear friend <a href="http://sorengazette.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Amy </a>asked if anyone wanted to join her in a Three on Thursday blogging adventure. Basically, a way of getting the blog juices flowing by posting three photos every Thursday. I jumped on the chance because I've been slacking on my blog for quite awhile and I thought this would give me a good jump start. Life is busy! In fact, it's so busy that I missed last week. But, this week I've found a few minutes to put a post together. Hopefully it will be a continuing trend! </div>

Carson started basketball 2 weeks ago. He really likes it and we've enjoyed watching him. He's getting good at dribbling (while running down the court) and passing to his teammates. His also been doing some ice skating with Trevor, his reading is amazing and he's started taking spelling tests at school.</div>

This is red man, at least that's what he wanted to be referred to last week when we had some baking to do and he was wearing all red. He was pretty excited to put on his "baking shirt" and he's quite the helper in the kitchen. We made muffins, a cake and some pizza dough for Pizza Friday! He's officially been tested (he passed!) and is registered for Kindergarten. Yikes! And he's going to start soccer with some of his school friends next week. </div>

This little squirt turned 4 months old last week. So much to say about him. He's 17.9 pounds and 26.5 inches long. Compared to his brothers he's just a little heavier then Declan (our smallest) at 4 months and he's the longest by a half inch to Carson. Bennett weighed 22 pounds at 4 months....man he was big. Maddox has been busy lately. He found his toes, drools like a faucet, no longer wants to be rocked to sleep, he laughs and he loves to suck on his hands. Oh, and he's a crappy napper. The other boys were fantastic nappers sleeping anywhere from 2 to 3 hours for most, if not all, naps. In fact Bennett and Declan still do (yes, I'm lucky!)This little bugger is lucky to make it 90 minutes and most times (like right now....he's pissed I haven't picked him up yet, guess he won't go back to sleep...darn!) he slept for a whopping 45 minutes. Good thing he's so cute!<br />
<br />
As for the rest of us....Bennett is wearing underwear and I can't get him to poop on the potty but he has very few accidents and wakes up from nap and bedtime dry 95% of the time. I'm shocked by it and very happy.....one giant step closer to having only one in diapers. Trevor and I have been running. I ran for 20 minutes straight the other day. I've never done that before....I've never run a mile before without stopping. It's weird, to actually enjoy running...I always thought only crazy people did that. I usually have a ten minute period during my workout where I wonder why I'm doing this but that passes and I feel great and energetic and amazed that I'm actually doing it. My goal is to run a 5k in May with my friends, we'll see!</div>Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16192287112294383495noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1097146801352066458.post-27784917183961664372012-01-05T11:31:00.000-08:002012-01-05T11:31:06.885-08:00A Very Merry Christmas<div style="text-align: center;">
Today is our first day back to school, back to a routine that requires wearing something other then jammies ALL DAY. It was a good vacation. It's kind of a shock to the system though, at least for me. But I'm glad to be back to a routine, although I do miss having Carson around here all day, and so does Declan. </div>

Christmas was wonderful, as it always is. The boys ate up all the magic that is Christmas and they were very sad to see Freddie the Elf go away. These kids make Christmas so amazing, so special and so memorable. I remember Christmas being so fun as a kid but as a parent, well, Christmas ROCKS!</div>

Yes, big boy underwear. Yes, we're potty training. Nope, it was not in my plan (for at least another 6 months). But he's doing it and he's doing pretty well.And he loves his underwear. Today he was a little miffed that I made him put on a diaper for nap. He's been waking up dry and only had a handful of accidents in a WEEK of training. </div>

Funny how when your a kid from Thanksgiving to Christmas is the LOOONNGGGEESSSTTT time of the year. I remember years when I thought Christmas would never get here. Now as an adult, especially a parent, it goes 463x faster and I feel overwhelmed and would like it to slow down just a bit so I could savor that Christmas magic in my children just a bit longer. There is something so magical and fun about their innocence and imagination this time of year. </div>

It's been especially heightened with the presence of Freddie, our Elf whose keeping tabs on the boys and reporting to Santa. I think he's had to tell Santa we have a few listening problems in our house lately. Oye! But Freddie turns up somewhere new every morning and the boys love discussing where that might be the night before and then hunting for him in the morning. </div>

We're probably a year, maybe two away from Carson figuring all this out. That makes me sad and nervous. I hope when those questions come to the surface we can discuss without ruining it for his other brothers. But for now we'll revel in their Christmas spirit. </div>

Carson wrote his first song the other night, complete with notes and a song number. All about the true meaning of Christmas.Wow, this little boy is growing up and learning so much along the way. He's participating in church, excited to go to Sunday school, eager to learn cursive and reading like a champ. His first big Christmas concert is tonight at the high school on a BIG stage. He's pretty excited about the whole thing and we can't wait to see him perform. </div>
