Quick Update!

This is going to be a very short update. Lets be honest you really only like the pictures and I want to get back to holding Nolan!

Last weekend Nolan hung out with Hadley at Grandma's...

The boys got to take a sink bath. Grandpa said if all 3 of our boys ever had to live with them they would have to get a nanny!

 Auntie tooke Spencer and Easton with them to the pumpkin patch...

I visited my friend Sara on Monday. She had a little boy named Brady. Congrats!

Ryan took Friday off my last day of maternity leave so we could spend it as a family. Due to wind our plans changed from apple picking to riding rides and having lunch at the MOA.

Easton is still to little so Ryan and I had to take turns riding with him.

This was Spencer's favorite ride. He went on it 2 times!

Friday night my friend Missy and her family came over to grill out. Spencer and Liam had so much fun playing together they were up till 11:30pm!!

Easton enjoyed the yummy treats Missy brought...

 It wasn't as windy on Saturday so we headed to the apple orchard...

So Spencer must either be used to me asking him to stand next to cut outs or he must really like them because he is always wanting to stand by things and asking me to take his picture!

We ran into our old neighbors Kyle and Kristin. Spencer caught a ride with Kyle back to the barn.

Later at the apple orchard Spencer had his friend Averi's 5th birthday party.

We made apple crisp with our apples.

Kyle and Kristin came over later. It was such a nice night out but now it's getting dark out early. So we have to light up our backyard to be able to play longer.

 Sunday was hockey. Spencer lasted about 30 minutes then wanted off the ice. After a quick rest he was back out on the ice. Grandma and Grandpa came up to watch. I don't think either one of them liked how cold it was in there.

We headed downtown for ice cream after hockey.

More pictures of our crazy boys!

Spencer thought this was a great way to eat his pretzels. I didn't agree..

 Doesn't everyone have lawn darts at the dinner table?

 He's my best eater. For a snack he had a veggie pouch and carrots.

 He's also my trouble maker....

Eating the pads off the cupboards.....

Another use for this game....

The boys helped me make a fall treat. Acorns!

 Nolan working on head and neck control.....

 Aunties class room is collecting milk tops and box tops. Spencer thought they would be fun to take to bed!

Ryan is getting Spencer ready for Packer trivia....

Look at his big smile!

I laid down with Spencer to watch a movie. I fell asleep and he found a pen! Seriously....



The boys love to cook in the pantry....

Well tomorrow I go back to work. It's going to be so hard to leave Nolan. I think I'm also sad that I wont have anymore free time to get stuff done. It's nice to be able to clean, do laundry, cook, go to the store while the big boys are at school. There's a small part of me that is ready to go back. But it's going to be so hard to leave this cute face!

The Zoo!

Nolan and I started this week off by doing exactly what I've been waiting to do since we brought him home from the hospital. We got rid of the "to do lists" and we layed around and took naps together. It was cold and raining at the start of the week so I didn't feel one bit guilty about staying in our pjs all day. I just love spending time with that little boy and I'm so not ready to leave him in a week.

Probably the best news this week is Nolan slept through the night for the first time! Typically he gets up at 2:00 am and then again at 5:00 am. I heard him cry out at 1:00 am and thought, "seriously Nolan, it's not even 2:00 am yet." So I went in and gave him his nuk. When I got up the next morning Ryan said to me, "What time did you get up with Nolan last night?" My response was, "I didn't, I just gave him his nuk at 1:00 am." "What time did you get up with him?" I asked. Ryan said, "I didn't I just gave him his nuk at 2:00 am." We both realized then that he and slept through the night!

We had a lunch date on Wednesday with two mom's from day care. One of them just had a baby also so Nolan and Jack will be in a room together. Her oldest son Sam and Spencer are also in a room together right now. It's nice to have friends with kids the same age.

We finally ventured out on Friday. Auntie, Finley, Hadly and Grandma all met us at the zoo. As I posted on facebook, the zoo was about to get a new exhibt that day called "The Bullis Boys" because they were crazy. I am out numbered when we are out and about. They had fun though running around and somewhat looking at all of the animals. I guess if they were going to be busy the zoo is a great place to do it. You're outside and all the kids are running around looking at the animals. Spencer insisted on wearing his new zebra hat to the zoo and was very excited when we saw the zebras.

It takes a lot of stuff to go out and about with 5 kids 3 and under!

This weekend I had a girls night out with friends and Ryan had friends over for the Wisconsin vs Nebraska game. The boys are still with Grandma since hockey was canceled this week so I will post about their weekend with them next Sunday.

Here are a few other random pictures from the week of the boys......

He's wore this to bed and I'm pretty sure to daycare the next day.

We put Spencer to bed one night and heard some loud bangs followed by quiet. This is what we  found when we went to check on him. The light and fan were both on.

Nolan and I are getting into the fall mood so we made pumpkin bars. Then Spencer helped me deliever them to our neighbor friends.

Nolan is getting better at sitting in the bumbo.

Dinner time is always interesting in our house.

 Nolan is going to have big blue eyes just like his brothers. He also has really long eye lashes.

 Easton insists he has to go potty anytime Spencer goes. This is a lot of fun....

 This just made me laugh.....

Ryan has been giving Spencer little jobs to do around the house. At night they let out zoey together and on Thursday he helps with getting the recycling together. After Ryan had his friends over on Saturday Spencer will have a lot of cans to crush!

Here are a few videos from this week.....

Never to early to start them on the Badger hockey sieve cheer..

He can do a little bit better then this video shows but he's working on his ABC's....

Spencer is reading one of his David books.....

Here's a link to Spencer reading his other David book. It was too big for me to email from my phone.

This is my last week of maternity leave. I fully plan to take advantage of it!
