Let's try this again...

Well, I am the worst blogger but I am a little busy these days! I am going to try and keep this updated at least once a month if I can. We have pretty busy since my post.

Tristan 2 Month

WOW! 2 months have gone by and its really just a big blur. We are all doing really good. Tucker is going to preschool everyday for 3 hours and is really loving it. He just had his Thanksgiving Day feast and got to dress up like an Indian. His Native American name was " flapping bat". He is making lots of new friends and his teachers tell us he is one the best students. Really???

Jacob is well a 2 year old. He is really a challenge but we just take one day at a time with him. He is just your typical 2 year old. We have been potty training for a while now and we are about 95% there. He is doing really good with it and hopefully by the new year we will be in underwear. We finally moved Tristan out of our room and into the crib which means Jacob had to move into a big boy bed. I was soooo nervous about it but Jacob has done great. He did fall out one night but I guess that is normal.

Tristan just had his 2 month checkup and he is doing great. He weighs 14lbs and is 23 1/2 inches long. He is such a sweet baby. I can honestly say he is my best baby. He really only cries when he is hungry and the rest of time just hangs out. He is sleeping great and I think we are all really adjusting to having another baby in the house. You hardly even know he is around. He smiles and coos and watches every move his brothers make. They love him and he really loves watching them. Life is Good.

Happy Halloween

This year for Halloween Tucker told me he wanted to be a Ninja. I was fine with that and we actually found the perfect costume at Costco. Tucker found some old pictures of himself from last year and decided he wanted to be Batman again. Of course Jacob wanted to be Robin again so they were the dynamic due again this year for Halloween. I was so glad because we didn't have to spend money on 2 new costumes. The boys had lots of fun and got way to much candy.

Batman and Robin (circa 2008)

The rain held off long enough that we were ALL able to go out trick or treating. It was actually a really nice night. The temp was about 65. Tristan enjoyed riding in the stroller.

Happy Halloween.

Pumpkin Carving

Last week we went to the pumpkin patch and the kids picked out a few different pumpkins to carve. Tucker got one for himself and we also purchased a carving kit for him to be able to carve his own pumpkin. He was super excited. He did really good and actually did most of it himself.


Everyone is getting in on the action.


Tucker picked out a "Bat" pattern for his pumpkin.

Hard at work.

Tristan enjoyed being outside.

Happy Fall Y'all

Cox Farm

The weather here the past week has been wet and cold and finally yesterday we had a perfect day. It was sunny and about 75 degrees. We decided it was time to go to Cox Farms. It was actually nice enough that we could all go and I really needed the fresh air and sunshine.



The good old barn slide. Jacob was a little scared to go by himself.

Johnny loves the castle slide!

Tristan was with us but slept in the stroller the entire time!

WOW, I know how she feels!

Here they come!

Good Times.

Fire Station

Last weekend our local fire station had there yearly open house. The boys love going so as soon as Johnny got off work he took them to the festivities.

Nothing but trouble!
