Where have I been?!?

Well I had a computer for about a week before it broke so my blogging has gone astray. I can't seem to blog with pictures from my iPad so here is an update without pictures.

Caden is potty trained! We started the week of his birthday and he was so easy and is still a champ!! So thankful for that!!

We found out July 9th that another sweet baby will be joining our family in March!!!! I am so excited and can't wait to see who the Lord has chosen to give us. Come on October :) I have been feeling great just tired. This has been the best pregnancy I have ever had! Another huge blessing.

Cooper and Colton have both started school. Cooper is in 2nd grade and Colton started preK. We decided to send Cooper and wait on the homeschool thing. They both love it and I'm enjoying my days with Caden. He's just getting used to being the only one home during the day.

My Grandma is coming in town this weekend and staying with us! I can't wait to hang out with her!! She's 94 now and I'm blessed for my kids to get to spend time with her.

I'll try and add some pics soon.

Happy 2nd Birthday Caden!

Today our baby turned 2! Where has the time gone? He is so precious to me and a very sweet boy...on the other hand he is ALL boy! He is the most rough and tumble one that we have. He loves Hulk and sometimes thinks he truly is him and acts like him :) I will say Caden and he will turn to me and say No Mama I Hulk! So precious. Then he proceeds to run from wall to wall banging into them! Never a dull moment with this big little guy around. It doesn't help that he is also so big for his age. He weighs 33 pounds and is in the 95% in height and weight. He started out huge and has kept up with it. I love him so much and can't imagine life without him in our family!! He had a Hulk party with our families and had a blast! What a sweet boy! Happy Birthday Caden!

Vacation Bible School

We have had VBS at church this week. The older boys have had a blast but Caden has not. He woke up Monday morning with a fever and has had one ever since. I got great pics with my older ones but I love the one of Caden and I because it truly shows how he has been feeling all week. Poor guy. Hope he gets better real soon b/c next week he will be 2!! Can't believe it. Here are my 3 handsome men.

I finally have my computer back so I can catch up on all my blogs. This might take a while...

7 Years Old

I'm not sure how this happened but my firstborn is turning into a young man right before my eyes. He is the most thoughtful, sweet, and sensitive guy. I love him so much and am truly thankful that he is our oldest to lead his younger brothers. God blessed me so much when gave him to me. I am honored to be his mom!

Coop and I will begin a new journey this year together. We are homeschooling him this coming year. He is so smart and we have been praying about our options and we have been lead to do this. I am excited and very scared at the same time. I know he will do amazing and I am ready to get it going. I will keep all 3 of you updated on our progress!

All I know is I am thrilled to have him back home with me and honored to be teaching him. Love my 7 year old more than I can express in words!!

Happy Birthday buddy! This year he wanted a family party and then to take his best bud to Incredible Pizza. We had the other 2 boys spend the night with my mom and then Jon and I took Cooper and Luke to Incredible Pizza. On his real birthday Luke and Cooper got to go to the Redbirds game with Luke's step dad and it had a rain delay so they just ate and ate some more in their box till the game started. On his 7th birthday our big guy arrived home at midnight :) I'm definately not ready for the teenage years!!!!

He had a family birthday party and his cake was a Dallas Mavericks jersey. He loved it and here are a couple pics from his party.

Home Run...or Runs

Today was another first for one of our boys I will be sad when we don't get to experience them anymore. Anyways...This is our first year of playing tball and Cooper and Colton have both really enjoyed it. Today Cooper hit his first ever home run!!! One proud momma right here. I am sad to say they played right in the middle of Caden's nap so I stayed home so everyone at the game could enjoy it without him fussing. Jon sent me the video and I am so proud!! Colton also hit a single on the first pitch! As I sat watching the video over and over I get another text that says...He did it again!!!! So I got that video and can't stop watching! So thankful to the Lord for the talents He has given my boys. Can't wait to see how He will use them for His glory!! Let's Go Diamondbacks!!!!

Fun in the Sun

I am so blessed to have these 3 sweet sons. May I never take a day with them for granted!!!

Growing up

Tonight Cooper was invited by his buddy Luke to go to a Valentines dinner/party at his church. This is a first for me...I was struggling thinking about my baby being picked up and just taken out without me. Yes he is almost 7 but he's my firstborn! After Jon kept telling me how much fun he would have I began to feel a little better. So Jackie and Luke came and picked him up...he was jumping up and down waiting for them. There they go. A piece of my heart went too. I'm not gonna do very well when they are teenagers!! :) He was supposed to be home at 9 and about 10 after I began to get nervous!! Jon agains says he is fine. He showed up about 9:15 with the biggest smile on his face. He had the time of his life and even won a prize!

Thank you Lord for such a sweet boy and for comforting me while he was gone!
