Grandma Nancy's Brithday!

I posted mid last week the Halloween post so check that out if you haven't. The boys and I were pretty tired on Tuesday so instead of going to the gym to play we went to the giggle factory. Finally, Easton is able to climb up on his own and go down the slide. Afterwards we played outside. I was convinced with the late night and all the playing we had done that the boys would all nap. Nope none of them slept.


The boys like having lunch together at their table.

Spencer now has swimming on Wednesday's with Gavin. Spencer is the 2nd one from the right and Gavin is next to him.

As hard as it is to give all 3 a bath at once, sometimes it's just easier then doing separate baths.
I love how Nolan is smiling at them.

Easton loves to help me wash Nolan!


Playing is hard work!

This weekend we made our first trip to Madison as a family of 5! It takes a lot of time to get ready and a lot of stuff to survive a weekend away. We stayed at Grandpa and Grandpa's on Friday night to get the first hour of the drive out of the way. Saturday morning we took off. Easton cried for about 45 minutes straight but all 3 slept the last 30 minutes. I would say over all they were good travelers.

Nolan's first time sleeping on a hotel bed.

The whole reason why we went to Madison is because Grandma Nancy turned 60 and we had a surprise party for her. She didn't have a clue and was excited to see all of us. The boys had fun playing with their cousin Caden and Noah.
Grandma Nancy and her 5 grandsons! Caden, Easton, Noah, Spencer and Nolan.


Both Ryan and I prepared for a sleepless night in the hotel. Easton has never slept in a bed and I wasn't sure if Nolan would make it through the night. I thought for awhile that Easton was going to be awake while the rest of us slept because at 10:00 pm he showed no signs of slowing down as he was jumping on the bed and climbing up the headboard. I'm happy to report though that after a 5 minute struggle Easton was out and all 3 boys were sleeping. They didn't wake until 6:30 am! (7:30 with the time change!)
This was Easton at 9:45 pm!

Auntie, I still like to sleep with the blanket by my face.


The best part of staying in a hotel is you get to go swimming. Caden and Matt joined us on Sunday morning. Spencer surprised us with how brave he was jumping in!

We had breakfast at Grandma's before heading home. She wanted to get one more with all 5 grand kids!

Nolan slept the whole way going home and Easton slept the first half. Overall the boys did great traveling all weekend and I'm very proud of how well they were. It's not something I want to do every weekend though. Here's what happens when you keep giving your 1.5 year old milk to make him happy during a 4 hour car ride!

Here's a few video clips from this week that I thought were cute:
