Boys are Different

He was different from day one. The loves noise and to bang things he also wants to figure out how things work with his hands and brains not saying much. He is a momma's boy he does not want the girls to love and hug on him all the time like they do to each other, he wants me to rescue him from that. He is also very strong willed and can get mad quickly. He has no fear of throwing a fit in public if he thinks he has been wronged he is going to let the world know. He is my little guy that is constantly in motion, he loves to move and run and GO. He also loves cars, trucks, and animals. I know, no one likes the word "no", but he gets mad at the word "no" he wants to do it anyway. His shrieking makes me want to get his vocal cords removed at times but it is also what calls for "momma" and oh I do love to hear that. He is usually a man with a mission seeking after food with no fear for life. I need to pray more for this little creature that is on the go and loves life so much because he is going to need Christ leading his life, with his personality and temper.

Why

We are gone all day to the farm and then stop at the beach to cool off. Daddy needed us to stop at Target so of course we had to go---(I love this store and of course we came out with more than what daddy had asked for=)) While we were coming out I gave each kid there own water bottle and they were doing a good job of finishing them up, when I am putting Caleb in his seat I turn around and see Madison drinking from a cup on the ground next to the car. GRRRRRR I start to freak out and then catch myself and say why? I don't even get what the attraction was but still feel grossed out. It was just a second that my back was turned and yet that is all it takes, prayerfully that will not happen again and prayerfully that cup was not germ infested.

Friends

Madison, Noelle, and Caleb have some great friends and it can become even easier sometimes when I have more than just my three pretty crazy but true because they have a great time with each other.

Happy Fourth of July

sweet sisters

Noelle and "kitty"

Madison and her boots which she loves.

I am so thankful for the men and women that went through torture so we can have freedom.

The kids and I spent the evening seeing fireworks with some friends till really late, while Nate worked (very sad).

Bouncy House

This is the best gift I have ever bought the kids so far. Wow, they love it and them come in tired wish is a great thing. The kids also stay out for a couple of hours out a time which with all that is going on around our house now when need a couple of hours here and there.

No more Nuks

A couple of weeks ago we went cold turkey on both girls. Yes our 4 year old still took a nuk at night and it was OK. A few weeks ago Noelle was going NUK crazy and I was ready for them to give them up-----It was not going to be easy but they needed to go. So the first night they both cried themselves to sleep and the next two nights Noelle cried herself to sleep. But we no longer have any NUKs other than the few we are still finding from different hiding places=)

Noelle

OK it has been way to long and here are a few to get you caught up to speed. The most important the kids first Caleb is growing like a weed and starting to talk with a word here and there that we actually catch. He runs wild and loves to move. Noelle is a BIG fan of talking these days, when Madison spent a week with my parents in Maine the girl figured out she could talk, well she is a talking princess and she would say she is the " Genovian Princess" she does not stop talking. Madison are people pleaser that does not like to be wrong and also LOVES to talk and her favorite word WHY and WHEN. She is growing up way to fast and really loves to practice school work, she is our serious creature.

Nate can either be found at the ER or working on our house---working hard.

Me cleaning up after the kids and trying to clean up after all the messes Nate makes with the remodel.

Our house is now completely rewired, new kitchen, new entry way with cubbies (Love) laundry up stairs (LOVE this) and in a holding pattern with the addition. A couple of days ago Nate took off the deck door to be the new laundry room and framed it in but had no time to put up an outside wall, so he works nights and I could not sleep for fear that there was going to be skunks or racoon's in my house----yes creatures not people. Thankfully there is a temporary wall up and I can rest better.

Today thankful for my kids and husband.
