Megasaucer Baby and Justin writes his name!




Ryan was able to play in his megasaucer for the first time yesterday. His feet just almost touch the bottom. He had a blast playing in there and his big brothers loved showing him how to use all the toys. Also it was a big day for Justin. He learned how to write his name by himself at school today. I am so proud! Jayson is very close and will be doing it soon. Justin practiced writing his name for an hour last night at home too. Jayson would rather play his educational video games. He is a whiz at those. They both have homework every night now so that is fun. They worked on writing all their numbers and counting objects last night. Pre-K has been a great move for them. I cant wait to see how well they advance now. I'm so glad it is Friday!!! I am looking forward to spending a relaxing weekend with the kiddos.






Yay Justin!!! He did about 5 pages of this last night.
He asked me to mail a copy to JoJo and PaPa and also
to GiGi and Grandad.

Build a Bear!!!

Look at me! 2 days in a row! Ok, so I am playing catch up here. The boys did Build a Bear a couple weeks ago and Uncle J and Lauren came with us. Here are some cute pictures from that fun day.


We also had fun last weekend. GiGi and Grandad came over for a visit and then Jayson and Justin went to their house to spend the night. I got to spend Sunday and Monday of this week all alone with baby Ryan. It was fun to pretend I was on maternity leave again and focus just on him. Ryan had a playdate with my friend Sarah's baby girl Demi but he was pretty cranky on his tummy. Here are some pictures.

New and Exciting things!

Whew.... January has just flown by! I came back to work at the start of January and it has been a whirlwind! I started a new position, E-mail Marketing Coordinator, and I just have so much to learn it isn't even funny. I am trying to absorb as much as possible right now and hope to know much more in the coming months. Home life has been great!!! The boys started Pre-K today at school and had a wonderful first day. They told me all about learning numbers, painting, music time, the fire drill, Chick-fil-A lunch, homework, and of course that they didn't have to take a nap. It was pretty cute to hear them give me the synopsis of the day. I am so proud of them as I watch them grow and mature into such amazing little boys. Ryan has hit a few milestones this week as well. He is now rolling from front to back and actually playing with his toys instead of just staring at them. He laughs a lot at his mommy. I guess I am really funny looking. :) He is the sweetest baby and has just integrated so well into the family. He loves his big brothers and just stares and them and smiles. Bath time is very exciting for him these days. He loves to kick and splash and see how wet he can get his mommy. I'm usually pretty soaked by the end of his bath. Scott has adjusted well to me going back to work and taking on the three kids. I am so proud of him the way he has handled it all. He is a great daddy! I will post some new photos that have been taken.

Happy New Year!

Whew...I am glad it is 2009 and we are past the crazy holidays of 2008. We had a wonderful Christmas and New Year together with family. I tried to soak up every minute of being home with the boys because now I am back to work full time again. Oh how the last 3 months have flown by since Ryan was born. It has been so fun and I will treasure that time always. So now it is onward we go with me at work and Scott home with 3 kids! I'm so glad he is such a great daddy. We look forward to Ryan's baptism on February 8th and having all the family over to celebrate at our house afterwards. The boys are ready for all the fun summer time activities. They keep asking me if the pool is open. I want to get them signed up to play soccer this year and of course swim lessons again. It is so fun to watch them grow and learn new things. I just cant wait to see what this new year brings for our family!
