Where did my babies go?

Time sure flies when your having fun. Isaiah started 2nd grade this year. We entered a new journey of complete home school. Cornerstone was fun, but mom needed something a little slower pace. Monday was our first official day of school. So far so good. He also turned 7 this year, oh my.

Isaiah loves all things science and history. If he could do science all day he would be one happy camper. He played his last year of Tball and is getting to be a pretty good little ball player, according to mom anyway. On to the big league next year!!! He also loves riding his bike, fishing, and hunting. Pretty much if Dad does he wants to also.

Noah turned 4 this year. He defiantly our most compassionate child but very energetic at the same time. He absolutely loves playing in mud, water, dirt, anything that involves the word mess he is into. Noah also love cooking with mom, although he thinks he can get into the eggs and cook by himself and has destroyed many eggs recently. He started PreK this week. He seems to really love school. His favorite is dinosaurs and Trex is probably the all time favorite of the Dino's. He also loves riding bikes with Dad.

Gabby is our big 2 year old. This sweetness also comes with a little sass on the side. Girls are sure different then boys. She loves all things dolls and babies. And lets not forget her favorite blanket. If that thing was to disappear we would be in major trouble.  For a little 2 year old she talks all the time. She loves books and doesn't like to separate from Mom to far. She loves shoes, but hates wearing clothes. Its fight to get clothing on the girl to go out in public.
Our first official family vacation was this year. We got to go to Great Wolf Lodge in Kansas City an the the kids loved it. Noah went down the kiddie pool about one hundred times every time we entered the pool. I also think the big kids  ( Jon and Mike, ) had just as much fun on the big slides and the little people did. They also had story time at the end of the day for the kiddos and we got to eat at the Trex restaurant and Fritzs, besides the wait really fun places to eat.

In the midst of our crazy lives we decided to have another baby, I think God decided for us. But we are excited to have another baby boy this winter!

10, 11, 12

10 months

 11 months

12 months

I can not believe this baby girl came 5 weeks early, had to be on oxygen and was so tiny and now is our smart, sweet, healthy big girl!

Gabby is pretty much a sweet girl most of time, she is developing a little temper and has zero patience, Gabby loves dolls, cars, and balls. She prefers to carry around brothers little cars and often is crawling around with 2 toys in her hands. She also started walking on her knees, very entertaining and just the other is taking 2-3 steps, walking is getting closer. She also loves to be outside and in the water. And if the she can see the toilet , she is off. She likes taking baths and is our only child that likes the splash pad at this age.

Gabby is not a picky eater, but has found a love for pasta. She still loves her milk ( in a bottle.) And finally sleeps through the night most of the time, but if not her daddy will rescue her in the night! She has 4 teeth and a big smile!!

She loves her mamma a lot and gets picked on by Noah several times a day. Isaiah is in love with his sister and was so excited for her turn one. He choose random gift from our own house and packed them up several weeks in advance to give to his sister. He also made tons of cards for her and a really beautiful sprinkle cake!!









Happy Birthday Gabriellah June!

9 months!! Easter

Little Princess is growing so fast, how are we so close to one already. Gabby has gone from a strange scoot with the tips of her toes, to crawling everywhere, and pulling up. She pretty much just wants to stand against something all time, forget this sitting and playing with toys. If there a couch or a toy for her the grab up on that's where she wants to be.

She is finally back to sleeping all night, that was an incredible long 3 months of her and her brother( Noah) waking up constantly in the night. Gabby seems to love stuffed animals and dolls and would rather play with the boys stuff then baby toys. She loves her brothers and doesn't mind them wrestling, laying, pulling blankets on top of her, you think of  Noah has probably thought of it too.
She however hates grass, if you set her in the grass without a blanket she will cry and act like its the most painful thing she has ever experienced. We might have girly, girly, Moms ok with that!!!

Gabby found a love for table food. She almost refuses to eat any homemade, delicious proceed by Mom food. Shes is not picky about the soft table foods. If it can fit it in her hand, shes ok with it.

She mostly a calm little baby. We had her first ear infection and she was not found of that, but after some medication she was back to herself. She loves her mother, but says Da da all the times. No teeth at the moment, that probably means they will attack her all at one time, that will be fun. She is 29.5 inches in the 98% and 19.6 pound-75%.

We also had tons of fun with Easter pictures, as always. So, glad we had profession pictures a couple days before and the actually went well. The kids had so much fun and lots of love that weekend. We started at Nan and Papas house, with and Easter egg hunt, dying eggs, and a treasure hunt, Off to Grandma and Papa for more Easter egg hunts, Pinatas, dying eggs, and our friends the Slavens came to visit. We ended up making resurrection biscuits at our house, some failed us, but the kids are starting to understand that Jesus died and rose for us!!!!

9 months, 3 years,and 5( I mean 5.5) 

Happy Birthday

Noah is 4 , according to him anyway. He is actually 3, but anytime you ask him he says he is 4.

I love this little big boy, but I am kinda glad 2 is over. There were definitely more fits then one two year old should ever throw in ones life time. But, that's our Noah. A lovable, compassionate, biggest temper you ever did see boy. I think the temper are slowly fading as he understand the rules around here. In all of the fuss this kids makes, he happens to the most polite of the boys. He says thank you and u-welcome all the time.

Noah has made leaps and bounds in his speech, seems like he just started saying single words and now hes putting sentences together. He also stopped biting in his two year old world, but starting spitting at us in his three year old world when he doesn't approve of the situations.This drive Dads nuts, but I know its just another phase. We have not conquered the potty yet, but are getting so very close.

Noah loves to play animals and be outside. Winter was rough this year, with the extreme cold, because this kid can not stand to have clothes on. He absolutely hates shoes and would rather be naked from the waste down. And winter and no shoes did just not mix. He also likes Mickey, playing Nerf guns with his bub and Dad, and ask if he can go fishing all the time. He has learned his numbers and counts 1,2,3,4,9 most of the time, which I am not sure why, because he can count to at least 6 by himself. He most favorite song is wheels on the bus and likes to watch that on Moms phone. He is going to be our video game kid, loves to play on the kindle and watch TV if he has to be inside.

He loves his bubby and wants to do anything that he is doing. Loves to cook with mom and stir and crack the eggs by himself, oh dear. One time he got 6 eggs, cracked them all into a bowl ( without parental supervision,) and did not get one egg shell in the bowl.  He also loves his sissy, so glad she is a tough little gal. Noah will role on her , sit on her, and now likes to put her completely under a blanket and she rarely fusses about it.

Happy Birthday!!!!

6 months and Christmas

A little behind, but here was our Christmas. Starting off a Nan and Papas house. We started celebrating Jesus birthday and had a very special birthday cake. Isaiah of course knows what presents are a "gently" opened, or ripped them apart. Noah however didn't really care for many present this year, but was fascinated with the candy canes ( candy cans as Isaiah says,) He would take them of the tree and hand them out to each adult and then the adults would put them back on the tree and he would go get them and hand them out again. Noah did this for about an hour, not caring one bit about presents.

 Christmas morning. Daddy was reading the Christmas story and each of the kids played with part of the nativity set. Trying to take a picture of 3 kids is impossible, Gabby was crying and the boys wouldn't hold still.

 A few thing before Christmas. Isaiah started begging to make Christmas cookies around thanksgiving. So, he got his wish and he would look Jon and say are mine looking good! We also visited Woolaroc lights, the boys had so much fun. There was an actually live man on horse all decked out with lights. We also went to the Christmas train and this was a slight disaster because Noah threw a fit the entire time.

 The only snow day we have had this year. Noah wasn't much for it. Isaiah played out there until his face was red. Isaiah also had a very special Christmas party. They got to decorate gingerbread houses.

And Christmas at

Grandmas and Papas or as Noah calls them Gpa and Papa. We a have a big crew theses Days. Jacee, Lacee, Kyler, Coby, Isaiah, Austin, Colt, Carson, Elise, Noah, Paisley, and Gabby
