Crew Charles

Crew is on this new kick of his name not just being Crew, but Crew Charles. We have had people come over or see someone and they say "Hi Crew," and he will respond, "I am not Crew, I am Crew Charles!"
This past month in preschool they have had a lot of fun activities and dress up days. Here he is posing for pajama/teddy bear day. He got to were slippers too which he was sliding around in everywhere like a crazy man.

On pajama day they also got to invite a grandparent to come and have breakfast with them. Grandma Viv was so excited to go along with Crew. She has been helping me take him to preschool in the mornings so it was an extra bonus! :)

One of the other fun days this month was backwards day. He still asks me if it is backwards day again... "I like my clothes on backwards, and walking backwards is so cool!" He is actually pretty good walking backwards and thinks he has to show everyone his trick.

He got to put back on his Buzz Light Year costume again too, because they had Disney Day... A lot of crash and burns trying to fly, you would have thought he might have learned on Halloween that you can't fly with Buzz wings on!
Decorating his name heart for preschool.

I thought I had come up with a great brother proof invention for Kyler, but Crew can't seem to ever give Kyler any personal space. He sure loves him!

Since Crew was little he has been very into lining things up in rows, and now putting things into patterns and shapes. It use to worry me a bit but I think he is turning out okay...:) I think he has enough cars don't you?

Happy Birthday Papa Charlie!

Happy Birthday Papa! We hope you have a good day and we are looking forward to pizza tonight to celebrate. We love you so much and are so thankful for you! We love the walks you take us on with the dogs, and letting us run wild outside. It is so fun to spend the night and have papa time, thank you for always letting us be loud and crazy, and putting on our favorite shows! Putting up with clogged toilets because we put toys down them...and being the fastest at putting our transformers back together again, ha ha! See you tonight!

Shower Weekend

We hosted a big group (10 adults, 8 kids) of some of our college friends at our house this weekend. It just so happens that all 4 of us sitting there have had babies recently, Carolyn had Jax in May, I had Kyler in October, Randi had Luca in the beginning of November, and Jess had Gavin in the middle of November. All BOYS of course! All 8 kids there were boys! Tracey has Rilyn, but they couldn't make it for the full weekend, we missed you guys! Court will be adding a girl to the group too very soon, thank goodness!
I took a lot of pictures....
With all of these new babies the moms were busy feeding, snuggling, and taking care of the babies so me mostly made the guys take care of the older boys. I am on my ball, surprised?? Kyler did great, but still needs to be calmed down his special ways. None of us slept great with rooms packed with families and new babies, but we had so much fun just being together. I am so glad that even though we live in all corners of the state we still make the time to get together, I love these people so much :)

Wyatt playing with the punching balloons that we had floating around all weekend.

Brodes (Okay I know my kids are never dressed, I am working on this!! But they always strip) I promise you will start to see more pictures of my kids with clothes on!!

Kyler and Gavin, too bad we didn't get a group shot of all the babies together :)

Wyatt and Colt

Everyone just had to make themselves at home and find any place to sleep, love ya Dave :)

Care and Jax, he is such a poser, every time you would take the camera out that kid would just light up. He is so squishy and cute!

My three boys! Great weekend, it always is with this group. So glad we could get together, and I miss you all already!!!

Crew's recap on the weekend was he is telling people he had so much fun with Wyatt and Cole (Colt) and there were so many babies! Also he really liked the tackle dad (Dale). Haha.

Court's Baby Shower

A bunch of college friends, friends from home, family, and kids got together for a shower for Court! She is having a GIRL and is going to be so spoiled by me, I can't wait! Kassi and I had a lot of fun putting this on for her.

The grandmas to be!

We had a really great time and Courtney got a lot of really nice gifts! Only 4 weeks to go Court, we can't wait!!!
