6 months

Bryson was officially 6 months last Wednesday,  but we finally made it to the doctor today.  Here's the stats

Weight- 16 lbs. 1 oz (18%)

Height -26 inch (25%)

Head-17 1/2 in (66%) ( I think we may have another big headed child)

He got three shots, which he handled very well.  So far I don't think it has affected him much, he's as happy as ever.  

Amazingly he has slept through the night the last three nights!  Hallelujah!!  Hoping he continues the trend and doesn't go back to his old ways.  

So far, no teeth.

He smiles at anyone that looks at him, and he loves to laugh at his brothers.

He loves his food.

He can sit for a very brief moment by himself, but he would rather be doing this...  

One of the nice things about the kids is that only two of them move.  One more to chase around?

Let's hope he just sticks to the rocking for awhile.

It's bizarre how fast it seems he is growing.  He is so much fun, and we can't wait to celebrate the holiday's with one more added to our family. 

Be All You Can Be

Jackson informed me that he wanted an Army party. And he just wanted his cousins there. So that is what we did!

The invites

All geared up waiting for the guests.

There was a battle on the tables,

And a battle on the cake.


This cake was really fun to do. I was all prepared to be asked to make a tank cake or something, but Jack said he wanted toys on it. Okay, toys it is.

And I even attempted to make the inside camo too. Since I couldn't cut into it before the party to see if it worked I was a little scared it wasn't gonna turn out. But, I must say it looked pretty cool.


He had some help, and I am pretty sure we were spit free.

A few of the presents

And the one that got chosen to go to bed with him...

All I wanted was a picture of all three in their camo before the night was over.

This is what I got.

Thank you everyone for coming and for the gifts. Jackson had a lot of fun and we appreciate you sharing his birthday with us! We missed all of Kenny's family :( The snowy roads prevented them from coming. Darn weather. Now I must clean the shelves so there is room for all the new toys.

4 Years ago...

...we welcomed our very first sweet baby boy into our family.

Jackson is such a fun kid. He is so sweet to everyone and is always thinking of others. He has had to grow up pretty fast to be the big brother twice, but he is a trooper and loves his little brothers. He is my little helper. A few things Jackson likes right now:

Transformers (thank his father for this one)
Army
Guns (I know, I know)
School
Superheros of any sort
Ever since before he was one, he has had an attraction to anything with wheels. That still holds true.
And of course he has become quite the daddy's boy. That's okay though, he still gives me hugs and kisses.

Stay tuned for his party pictures tomorrow!

We love you buddy!!!

Happy 4th Birthday!

Homeboys

Jackson makes me turn on the "breakdancing music" and then they make sure they have their hats on and backwards. Pure entertainment.

Trip Down South

Kenny had some vacation to use up before the end of the year so we made an impromptu visit to St. George. We stayed with Dani and her cute familiy,one of my best friends from high school. It was so good to spend time with her. The weather was perfect and the kids had a lot of fun.
We went to Jumpin Jacks, a big huge building just full of slides and bouncy things. Jackson was in heaven. Although it is extremely blurry, I love his expression in this pic.

Landon we slightly freaked out by the whole thing. We did finally get him to go on a slide with daddy.
Dani's cute Abby. I am sure she felt a little invaded by boys last week.
The babies played too.

Landon's time at their house was spent with this. He loved that doll house. What a proud moment for Kenny :)

And one morning he slept till like 10 am. It must have been the pink flowery bedding. (thanks for your bed Abby)

We also went swimming. We were the only ones there for a while, which made it very nice.

Lovin' the water.



Landon, 0nce again, very hesitant.

We got him to sit in the kiddy pool, and he wouldn't move. Of course when he did decide to move, I had turned my back for minute to hold Chase while Dani took Abby potty and he fell in the big pool. After the lifeguard jumped in to save him and pull him out of the water, I gave myself the Best Mommy of the Year Award.

And some of cute litte Chase. You should see that kid in the water. He loves it.

Thanks Dani and Ashton for letting us totally take over your house. We had so much fun. You are welcome here any time!

Moving on up...

As of Monday, Bryson is now 5 months old! That is almost half a year. WOW. He is so much fun right now, it isn't very hard to get him laughin'. I took him for a weight check and he weighed in at 14 lbs. 2 oz. yesterday. Not huge, but he's gaining and that is all we want.

A couple weeks ago I got out the trusty excersaucer, he loves it.

And, he is now officially bathing with the big boys. I am not sure what he thinks about those "animals" in the tub yet.

All clean!
And, we'll throw one in there of Landon, because it's cute.

Winding up October

We went to the pumpkin patch forever ago but I have been lazy getting the pics on here. So here we are at the traditional pumpkin patch!


Landon loved walking around looking at all the pumpkins, then he settled on this beauty. I think it is half his size.

He attempted to pick it up, good thing daddy was right there to help.


Jackson was so busy just running around, and loving helping dad cut them off the vine and carry them back the the trailer. I don't think he cared what pumpkin he got.

The fam. And yes, they are all three matchy, matchy. They can hate me when they're older, but I am in charge now!
On the 27th of October my grandpa turned 90! You would never guess it though. He is like the energizer bunny. He had a big party open house on the 25th that we went up for. I was so glad I got to capture this picture with him and my three boys.


And finally, our Halloween madness!

I Fought the Law and Law won!

Don't you just want to break the law so you can have these two cute little officers give you a ticket?

And you ask what was their main patrol that night? Well, it was catching those bank robbers that stole that bag of money!!


A darn cute bag of money.

Red and Blue wagon=Police car for trick-or-treating

And the final result.

Two bank robbers, two police officers, and a bag of money!

And my crazy parents. Aunt Jemima and her pancakes.

My mom only sorta likes Halloween. Can you tell?
