little sneak...



I turn my back for one minute and where did Landon go?


He somehow worked his way into the shower with his brothers! I guess he needed to get clean too!

beehive lake activity











10 is the number of new bruises I have covering my legs, 2 is the number of skinned up elbows I have, 1 is the number of my lost earrings, 20+ is the speed of the boats that were pulling us around like maniacs, and 6 is the number of my beehives whom I bonded with at today's lake activity. Brynn, Kerstyn, Kirstie, Natalie, Elisha, and Ema thanks for being such fun beehives. You girls are the best!!

9 months

Nine months old already!! AHHH... I want you to stay a baby darn it!! I miss the snuggle time, and always needing me to hold you. I need the little infant cry and not the big boy screaming. I want you to fit in the baby swing still, and really I just want more TIME with us as a baby. Landon you are growing so fast (19.5 lbs already) and you love challenging yourself to keep up with your brothers. You are taking steps and jibber jabbering all kinds of words, and I think in your head you believe you are big like Alex and Jayden. You are such a mess to watch. You have so many faces that just crack us up, I love to watch your face as you try and figure things out. At the doctor today I got some shots of those precious, and angelic faces only you know how to make...


charming huh? let's call this your snarl shall we.
I know you picked this one up from Alex, he does this face when he is about to whine about something....
Another cry baby Alex face....

I love you Landon and all your many many faces!!

F-O-U-R

Well its official... Jayden's 4!! Dr. Madden said that he is growing great! All muscles are big and he is healthy. Dr. Madden thinks that according to his chart he will be like 5'11 or something when he is grown. He did great, he passed the quiz Dr. Madden gave him(you know like jump on one foot, count, etc) Things only got a little crazy when he told Jayden he had some shots coming his way. But he did his best to be really brave for his 2 younger brothers, that were going crazy in the exam room.
Some muscle pictures;) Don't be Jealous!
This was his face when he heard he had to get shots...
this was his face right after...sad I know...
and this is what he looked like on the ride home after our pit stop at Toys R Us!

A summer of Sea World

A good thing about living here in Florida is that you can take advantage of the theme parks fun summer nights. Don't let the smile on my face fool you, I am sweating hot here. Just because it's night here in Florida doesn't mean it's cool, it was a cool 90 degrees this day. But I try and stick it out at Sea World because my whale trainers love it, and live for it. And actually once the sun goes down it's a lot more bearable. We have managed to go a couple times this summer and everytime we go we have a lot of fun. We always catch the Shamu show, and then try and hit some inside exhibits to cool off a little bit. This year Shamu has a new show and because I refused to believe that Splash Zone actually meant You are going to be drenched in salty ice water we left that show a little heavier and cooler than we arrived. Landon loves watching the animals just as much as the older boys, they are all so intrigued by the animals. They always want to know everything about everything when we are there.




the first ride they got to go on all by themselves!!

universal trip

This week we were able to stay at Universal for a couple of days, and we had a blast! It's one of our favorite places to go, we stay out late, go to the parks, and play all day and night! This time we met Katelyn, Macie, Merrik, Linda, and Natalie there. We all had so much fun and besides it being over the top HOT, it was great. My boys were really good, I didn't feel at all like a crazy person having all 3 there by myself. I really enjoy taking the boys places like this and seeing what interests them and what rides they want to explore. We can't wait to go back.... Hint Hint Daddy...



these two love Barney

My crew... a pretty good crowd to hang with...



Alex was finally tall enough for the Woody Woodpecker roller coaster and he was more than excited to jump on. Way to go Alex.
