Allow me...

Allow me to finish your sentences.  I think this boy must have recieved this in his genes... it's so hereditary!

Just another day...

Do ya'll hang out in your shorts, socks and socks on your hands often???  If your answer is no... you need to try it.  The only catch is that you might need someone to help you with the sock hands. 

 

Vintage Fisher Price Western town... Jaden is loving this... Did Jacob play with this when he was little, Nan?? 

 

Tuesday

nem n nems!! 

I don't know why I decided to put them in these crab shirts... bad choice... they seemed to be fitting towards the afternoon. 

 

And again... I don't know why I chose to go to costco with these crazies... this was upon entrance to the Costco... approximately 4 minutes before Charlotte started screaming and didn't stop until we were back in our home. 

 

Ya win some...

Ya lose some...

Here, baby... you need this paci more than me.... 

 

here is the losing part...

 

winning...  

...and losing(again)

Losing= teething..... 

Rocks, fannypacks and cars

We got a bunch of rocks at our house today... and I found a Mcqueen powerwheels for him at a yardsale.  Winner, winner...  

When was the last time you saw a grown man wear a fanny pack (along with a tshirt of a tiger cuddling with another tiger)????  I saw that today... Jealous??? 

Longggg

This girl has long hair!

Being daddy

Jacob is in charge of Jaden's bedtime.  They always read books before bed, and then Jacob lays next to Jaden's bed while he is falling asleep... by 'he', I basically mean Jacob. 

So... I caught Jaden being Daddy this week. 

 

 

Reading one of his favorite books to Charlotte and Claire. 

... and laying next to his bed as Claire is falling asleep.

That is the sweetest sweet. 

Grills

Wrapped up

It's time for the out of order weekly wrap up!!!  Hollah!

 

 

 

Jaden got a new grill.  He was so excited.  Now he can grill when Daddy grills!  I was excited too because I got it at a garage sale for a steal of a deal! 

My kids are really into babies nowadays.  I blame Sarah.

 

 

Jaden was begging me to make cupcakes today!  Who am I kidding... I was begging myself to make cupcakes today. 

 

Daddy shoes, a bucket, and a sister pushing a walker... it doesn't get any cuter than that. 

Happy girl!!! 

Tired babies.  These two steal my heart. 

 

Prepping for cupcakes.  This was the best/least messy part! 

Hippies...

Some may call us hippies!  I call it genious!  I wore Charlotte in a back carry yesterday, and Jaden wanted to wear his baby 'Claire' in a back carry too.  I, of course, obliged.  I do draw the line when he wants me to nurse his baby 'Claire', though.  You have to draw the line somewhere.

I love how he is looking back at Claire in the second photo!

The boy

In a sea of girls...Jaden is the only little boy in the family.  So this happens...

What is it with cats!?

Charlotte has said her first 'word'.  It appears to be "Kitty".  She says "kiki"  That was Jaden's first word too!  What is it with these kids and cats!?

Swings, duck faces and new cousins!!!

Boy ohhhh Boyyyy have we had an eventful week/end!!  Sarah texted me Sunday night to let me know she was in labor!!  Let's just say, I was so excited that I almost literally peed my pants!!  I picked up the girls at bedtime, transported them to my hizzy... put them all in some beds... got back in my sweet honeymoon van and drove right back to Sarah's!  I couldn't bear the thought of not being there when this baby was born!!  I'm so thankful that Sarah lets me accompany her on some of her birth journeys!  She is a better woman than I!  I can not do birth journeys like that... no wayyyyyyy.

 

 

These photos are a little out of order... so just don't pay attention to that!

Claire was born at 3:34 a.m.  I took all the kids to the park around 8a.m.  Everyone was super excited!!

 

 

Holly, the midwife, and the nurse doing what we did all evening... waiting. 

 

 

 We were so happy that we just had to wait.... and not do what Sarah was doing!

 

 

 

I taught Holly how to do a perfect duck face!  I could've probably convinced her to do anything at this point.   

Charlotte swinging!  She's not the littleist anymore!! 

 

Walking to and fro the park.   

 

Little Claire is such a dollie!  We are so unbelievably excited to have her in our family.  It just keeps on a-growin!
