Frightmares!

We spent a fun-filled day at Lagoon with Adam and Jenny and their kiddos. We stayed from opening to closing and had a blast. I heard over and over from the kids, "this is the best day EVER!"

Lucy and Wyatt were able to head off on their own which was kinda fun and everyone always had a buddy to go on rides with. It was nice to have adults to swap out with so Spence and I could do some big rides too!

We went all out with the Halloween theme and bought some $5 tees from Walmart for the day. Haha.

These guys got absolutely drenched on Rattlesnake Rapids...and then wanted to go again!

Jack Jack was an excellent sport for the day and was happy to hang out and watch everyone have fun.

Sweet boy.

We can't wait to go again!

Silver Lake

Went up to Silver Lake with this crazy crew on Thursday September 24th. Seth and Manina had been in a car accident earlier (no one was hurt thankfully) so they didn't make it, which was a bummer. We had beautiful weather and we chose to go on a weeknight this year which thinned the crowds out a bunch and made for a lovely evening stroll.

Lucy sporting her new perfectly straightened teeth! She's a babe and she knows it. :)

Harry wearing Grandpa's hat.

We are aging. :( Lol.

Cutie pie cousins on the bench. Missing quite a few, but still cute.

Grandpa and Harry are such cute buddies. Grandpa loves to come snatch Harry to take a nap with him a couple time a month and it's adorable.

If you look closely, you'll see a big bull moose in the lake right above Lucy's head. Five minutes after we took this picture he was walking towards us on the path not ten yards away. We had a pretty close encounter with a moose last year, but this one was even closer. Yikes!

Look at all those kids!!! I still can't believe we have SIX!

I hope Wyatt never ever hits puberty. Haha.

Penelope had taken a tumble and hurt her little knee but was still a good sport to smile for a picture for me, even though I didn't realize how badly she had hurt herself until after. Sweet girl.

And see Graham's scar on his forehead? He had tripped and whacked his forehead on the concrete steps a couple weeks earlier. He had the hugest goosebump I'd ever seen! I'm not sure it'll ever heal completely. But he's devilishly handsome even with a dinged up forehead.

And this baby. Isn't he the most adorable??

I'm so lucky.

 

Four Months

 Four months of pure preciousness. Jack is drooling all over the place and I'm terrified he's going to get teeth any day now! He won't, right? That would be super early for my babies.

Teeth or no, we can't get enough of this baby.

He's so so sweet. He weighs 13 pounds 4 ounces (8%), and is 24.5 inches tall (13%). His eyes are looking awfully blue still and he's got a nice fringe of black hair at the base of his neck that reeeally needs to be shaved off but I just can't bear to do it. Jack also has small retractions at the base of his lungs when he breathes (like big brother Harry did), but the doctor just shrugged his shoulders and said that's his normal and he wasn't worried about it if I wasn't. Hopefully it'll go away. Harry's did. I think...

Three Months Old

Well, it pains me to say that this sweet baby boy is three months old today. I'm actually posting this on the actual day instead of months later like I usually do. (I'm SOOO far behind!!!) But I didn't want to forget this little man exactly as he is today.

Jack is spoiling all of us, and we are spoiling him in return. :) He is such a sweet and good baby. He LOVES to have people talk to him and will reward them with a big ole' smile. He has recently discovered how to blow spit bubbles and shove his little fists in his mouth.

He is a pretty good sleeper and will normally give me at least a five hour stretch once at night...sometimes up to seven! Jack has figured out how to pivot and I often find him in a completely different spot of his crib when I go in to get him. He even managed to roll onto his tummy the other day and didn't like that one bit! I love to rock him to sleep anytime I can and I don't care who tells me that'll ruin him. I know these babies don't keep!
