BOYS IN MY HOUSE

"There are boys in my house – and Spiderman shoes
And 200 papers in various blues.
There's dirt on a face and a smudge on a nose;
Grass stains on knees and sand between toes.
There's bathtime at night with bodies to scrub,
And when we're all done there is dirt in the tub!
There's odors most icky; there's boogers so green
There's more yucky things than I'll ever get clean.
There's piles of laundry; there's stories at night;
There's bedtime and bathtime and dinnertime fights.
There are cute little vests and darling neckties
Dragged right through the mud – oh what a surprise!
There's running and climbing and jumping and falling
And laughing and crying and hugging and brawling
There's tantrums and time outs and extra loud noise –
There's love in my house shaped like THREE little boys."
-Erin Jo Kilmer

I found this cute poem on a friend of a friends blog and thought it just fit . . . except I did have to change the end from "two little boys" to three little boys!

OH BABY. . .










Well, a few weeks ago I had a friend of a friend come over and take some pictures of the boys. It was during "naptime" so Mason and Griffin were a little difficult and we only got a few shots with them, but we got a ton of cute ones of Daxon! This gal (Brittany) that took the pictures is so cute and did a great job for a GREAT price! I am so excited that I found her and will definitly be using her again for family pictures once Daxon can smile. . . and I am back to being skinny ;)

MASON IS 4!

Mason turned 4 on sunday! We had such a fun day. It started out at Hogle zoo. The boys really loved seeing all of the animals and had a blast (even though the train was broken :( ) Then we made it home in time fore afternoon naps (YEA! for mom) Later that afternoon we had the family over for cake and ice cream. Mase loved his John Deere tractor cake and had a blast seeing everyone and opening presents! He got so many fun things, it's going to take awhile to even try them all!

Opening presents! Mason was so nice to let Griff help!

What a fun day without many fights or screaming kids!!!

HOLY HAIRCUT!!!

On Saturday I decided to chop off my hair! I cut off about 10 inches and I am so excited! I haven't had short hair in quite awhile and I just love it!

Getting used to brother

The "big boys" are definitely getting used to having a baby brother around, but I thought I'd post a few funny pictures of them adjusting.


I thought the Dino jammies deserved a picture!!!
They just love to match!


Griff decided he needs to take over Daxons new blankie . . . he even sleeps with it!

Mase and Griff decided to test out Daxon's crib.

NO MORE LIGHTS!!!

As of today Daxon is officially done with his tanning bed ( aka billi lights )! Yea!!! Poor little guy! He was starting to cry every time I would put his mask on . . . they are so smart! Anyway, after going from a 10.8 to a 17.1 and up and down after that, the doctor finally gave us the ok to enjoy our little guy! So Monday he will go in for his 2 week checkup and he will have to get poked one more time for his pku. He is going to have the toughest heels ever! But hopefully after that we can just leave him alone for awhile and mom can stop making her daily trip to the doctors!
