Look who is standing up!!

I love walking into this after a nap or bedtime!!!

Camden is starting to stand!! I knew that the time would come I just thought I could hold him off for a little while longer. I have to admit there is nothing cuter than going into his room and seeing him standing in his bed!!! He is not only standing he is starting to say some words. He says DaDa and MaMa and he is pointing at everything. He loves abbie (the dog!!) if only she wasn't 100 years old maybe she would play with him. Believe me she keeps her distance. He is really starting to enjoy some of the toys that we have. He loves anything that talks and lights up!! Of course, he doesn't like anything as much as he loves his brother and sister. He lights up when they come into the room.

Pajama Party Picnic

The kids decorated the box on their own!!!

Even Daddy and Abbie joined in the fun!!!

What a yummy lunch!!!

Well, we had a lot of rain and school was cancelled!! I know I was thinking the same thing....School cancelled for RAIN!!! As you can imagine this was not going to spell out a lot of fun if I didn't come up with something. My original plan for the day was to do laundry that was piling up and get some stuff done around the house. As the morning began I realized that wasn't going to happen. I took a minute and looked at my kids and how big they are growing right in front of me and decided I could waste this day by trying to get things done and letting them play on their own or I could make this a day that they would remember. I gave them a big box and told them that they could decorate it any way they wanted and I went a got everything together for our first "Family pajama picnic!!" I printed out invitations and taped them on their doors and told them to meet me in the living room with their favorite stuffed animal. It was at this moment that I realized how much fun this was for them. They were so excited. These are the moments in life that you don't get back.... The little moments when as a mother you realize how important every second you spend with them is. We all had so much fun and the kids talked about it all day long!!! I am glad that I didn't waste the day cleaning and doing laundry!!! I'll save that for when they are in school growing up!!!

In his bath seat for the 1st time!!

Look at those two little teeth!!!

Mommies sweet little baby taking a bath in the Big bath tub!! I know what you are thinking...He looks a little big to be in the big bath for the first time!! For those of you who have three kids you understand this well. It is much easier to keep giving him a bath in the small bathtub in order to keep your eyes on the other two while they are taking their showers!!! I love being the mom of three kids this is just one of those things that makes life a little less stressful!!! Believe me every little thing helps!!! Doesn't he look so BIG in that seat!!!

Carsen's first School Project!

Well we have reached an important milestone in Carsen's school career!!! His first school project. He had to do a time line from the time he was born until now!!! I don't know if this was more fun for him or for Daddy and I!! Of course, I wanted to dress it up with bubble letters and pretty decorations but Daddy had to remind me that I was helping my oldest son!!! I can't believe how time has flown!! You know that your kids are growing up when they get real grades instead of just S's and E's!!!

Let the trouble begin!!!

Here is the little man starting to get into trouble. He is 9 months old and on the move. As you can see he is into everything!!! What a sweet little face. It is hard to punish a little smile like that. I am sure he will get away with a lot more than he needs to!!!!
