Cole is...

9 lbs 2 oz and 22 1/4 inches long.

Not quite as big as I thought he would be, but he apparently lost almost 1 lb in the hospital. He got the A-okay from the doctor and all is well!

Guess That Weight...

Cole goes in this afternoon for his 2 week check-up...any guesses on his weight?

Carter's Favorite Passtime

Carter has started sitting in the toy box lately and just hanging out in there for 10-15 minutes until he finds what he really wants to play with. Yesterday it was the goggles and cleaning supplies. I was running the vacuum and dusting, so he thought he needed to help clean. He was too cute, so I snapped some shots.

We Love Our Brother!

I am really glad the boys love their new brother, but it is getting somewhat annoying :) All they want to do is lie around and look at him, hold his hand, hold him, touch him, etc. I can't put him down sometimes for fear of how much they will touch him. Today I indulged them a bit and snapped a few pics for the grandparents :)

All About Caden

Caden had homework this week and we thought we would share. He had to create a pennant all about himself. Pictures, things he liked, etc. Well Walmart didn't have any stickers really, so we had to make do with stamps from my scrapbook stuff. Daddy came up with the ever so creative idea of making train tracks all around the pennant and then creating a train and calling it the Caden Express. Here is our best attempt...

He stamped the tracks himself as well as the train. He wanted to make a list of his favorite foods, but we only had stickers of muffins and pancakes, which he does like, but he wanted to add green beans. We couldn't find a green bean sticker, so he drew some! He also has stickers of tools, swings, a dump truck, a tractor, and a bike. All in all stuff he really loves to do.
I am creative with scrapbooking, but stuff like this I struggle with...good thing Daddy was here with idea to help!

Cory is how old?

Today is Cory's birthday, so here is a post dedicated to him, although I doubt he will read it!

He has come a long way from this, but he is still pretty cute! My crazy yet wonderful husband loves adventure, which he doesn't get too much of around here. So maybe this year for his birthday he will do something adventurous...

like climb a rock wallski the 2010 Olympic slope in Whistler, Canada

Go 4-wheeling up to Goose Lake

Or something strange like this... Or maybe all he will have time for is talking to some statue:)
But most likely he will spend the day playing with the boys.

Happy Birthday to the best husband and father I know! I am so blessed to have you in my life, sorry your birthday wasn't all grand this year...I was busy giving you a great present - Cole :)

The boys and I love you very much and hope you have a wonderful day!

Setting the Record Straight...

Just to help out those who were too afraid to post

The boys are Carter, then Caden, then Cole...some crazy ones guessed right for some crazy reasons, but that is who is who. I really was intrigued when I found these pics because they really all do look like brothers!
