A Few of our favorites...

Because Callan is our last little one, I thought I would take a picture of a few of the favorite onesies all three boys wore. It is hard to believe how quickly Callan got too big for these! This time, instead of into the red bins, into a goodwill bag they go! Oh the nostalgia of the last baby!

Silly Little Monkey

Braden has a pretty wicked sense of humor. He is a goofball and loves to make us laugh. He also has no shame about dressing in silly outfits. He loves his monkey beanie and slippers, we love his goofy little self!

Brothers

I am just loving my pile of boys!

A Visit With Friends

This fall the Zeebs came to visit. It was so fun to see them and catch up in person. After two years it was like the kids had been hanging out just yesterday. They played and played in the backyard! We love the Zeebs!

Callan is 2 Months

A few shots of Callan at 2 months. He is a happy boy who is starting to really smile and laugh!

Snuggly Jackson

Jackson has always loved to snuggle. We have a cozy new blanket that he just loves!

Jackson's Sunflower

During Kindergarten last year Jackson planted a sunflower. He brought it home at the beginning of the summer and we watched it grow all summer long. Since summer was late in coming this year it took until September to really hit its stride. But, oh did it grow! It was a beautiful flower, and it got so tall!


The beautiful flower


Jackson next to his sunflower. Jackson is about to my shoulder now, so you can see how tall his sunflower was. It was taller than Mommy too!

Back to School

Braden - first year of preschool   Jackson - 1st grade

Funny faces!

Jackson in front of school on the first day. He was so proud and only let Daddy walk him to the front doors. He knew where to go and was off like such a big boy.

Callan's First Bottle

Jackson and Braden never really loved the bottle.  The would eat enough to get by and then want to nurse all evening when I got home from work. Callan seems to be better at it from the first try. Daddy had the honors of the first bottle, and it went great. Love that number three understands home to keep Mommy and Daddy sane!

End of summer Oaks Park adventure!

Right before school started Grammy Claudia and I took the boys to Oaks Park for a little fun end of the summer celebration.

Braden loves to mini golf.

Jackson does too!

Jumping frog ride.

Jackson had to show me the big slide.

Braden on the left, Jackson on the right, random little girl in the middle! So funny!

Meeting Great Grandma Agnes

My Grandma Agnes live in Vancouver. Shortly after Callan was born I took him over to meet her. She knows all about boys, she had five of her own!

Going to the Dentist

Braden picking a toothbrush at the dentist. This was his first visit.

Braden was so brave and in such a great mood at the dentist!

Jackson got his teeth cleaned. He is a pro now!

I love his cool guy shades!

Sweet Kisses for Callan

While my niece Mia was here, she fell in love with Callan!

Here Comes Trouble

So tiny and really no trouble at all, but I love the onesie!

A Cousin Birthday Celebration

The cousins all celebrated their birthdays together this year. They are spread through the year, but this way we all got to be together.

Opening gifts.

Zac watching the action.

Auntie Linny found a princess dress for Mia.

Legos for Jackson.

Mia loving her princess dress. A girl after my own heart.

Zac getting his own Monkey George.

Cousins in the Bath

I am so glad that the littles are still young enough to be thrown in the bath together. All to soon they will be way to big and grown up for this. I cherish these times while they are still here!

Goodbye Hugs

The end of the BBQ had to come and the goodbye hugs had to be given. Lots of squeezes for everyone!

Grammy Dot and her kids!

This is a great shot of my Grammy Dot, my mom, and all her siblings. It was so nice to have a wedding as an excuse to get us all together.

A Family BBQ

When Scott, Marie and the kids were here for the wedding we had a BBQ to get all the out of town family together to see them and us. It was a great time with margaritas, yummy food, laughter, and many hugs.
