It's Summer!

This week / weekend has officially felt like the start of summer. We have spent a lot of time outside doing fun things keeping busy and trying to stay cool.
Grandma made it to her first t-ball game. Spencer yelled at her from home plate that she forgot to watch him run ALL the bases. Their games are pretty entertaining. Watching all of the kids go after the ball and then some with a few tears when they didn't catch it. At least everyone gets a chance to bat and run the bases.


I needed grandma's help Tuesday morning for Nolan's therapy. So as a spencial treat she rented a hotel room so the boys could swim after t-ball and Spencer got to spend the night with her. According to her he didn't last long and he was sound asleep. The next morning they had breakfast before going in the pool again.

After Nolan's therapy appointment I thought it would be fun to take the boys to the pool. While I packed the diaper bag, 2 lunches, pool bag and toys Nolan hit his head pretty hard on the coffee table. While Grandma was busy putting sunscreen on everyone Easton rubbed it in his eyes so he was crying. We finally got out the door and on our way. We got there are realized this was the last week of school and the pool was FULL of elementary kids! Spencer found out he's still too short for the big slide and pouted for about 10 minutes. Easton just wanted to eat his lunch and Nolan was having fun crawling around in the shallow water. Overall it was a decent trip. I'm still trying to decide if I think I could handle all 3 at the pool by myself. It might be a little more work then it would be worth.












Later that day Spencer and I made grandpa proud and went to vote. He was mostly excited about the stickers we got.

I was finally off on a friday with no plans. So Jill came over with her kids. It's nice now that the older kids can all play together and we don't have to constantly step in. This is the part of the boys getting older that I look forward to.

This weekend it was in the 90's both days. So we played at the beach. Ran threw sprinklers, played in our kiddie pool and the boys even had a water balloon fight.




















We also had my highschool friend's 30th birthday party. She is one of the last of our friends to turn 30.



So what's new with our boys? I feel like each Sunday I'm quickly recapping the week but here's a little bit about each boy.
Nolan will be 11 months in 4 days! He is showing us he has an opion and wants it to be known when he's not happy about something. He's been a total mommas boy. If he sees me he is chasing after me or crying for me to pick him up. He's working on walking by pushing anything and everything that will move. He loves watching his brothers and always seems to laugh the hardest when they are doing things they shouldn't be. His two top teeth are just about popped through. His hair is getting more blonde, longer and more curly. Overall he's a very happy baby.
Easton is still obsessed with Monsters Inc. He would be happy if he never had to eat a meal and could get by with only drinking milk. I have found that if I tell him what a BIG boy he will be if he takes a bite of food he usually will. He's still our little peanut and loves showing off his naked butt with a little dance at bath time! He wants to cuddle in his chair before bed and pick out at least 2 toys to sleep with. He really wants to be independent and very rarely wants your help. Even though he wants to be a wild and crazy child, when it comes to certain situations he is very shy and cautous especially when it comes to the water. He would rather throw things in and watch Spencer get it.

Spencer has been a great big brother these days and a good listener. He amazes us with the things he says and thinks about. When I ask him where you heard something from or how he learned something he will say "I just thought about it." He loves swimming and being outside. He cries anytime someone has to leave. He has so much fun playing it breaks his heart when the fun has to come to an end. I love that he will randomly tell Ryan or I that he loves us.

Hadley Turns 1

Our week started out with Nolan's therapy appointment. It was his first one where the therapist came to our house to work with him. I was happy to see her as I coudn't remember all of the moves they wanted me to do with him. We reviewed the moves and she suggested I take pictures to refer back to.



I wanted to keep the boys busy after a long weekend away so I could get some stuff done. I thought the ball pit would be fun since they haven't played with it for awhile. It kept them busy for awhile.








I couldn't decide if I should post this video or not. It makes Easton look really aggressive and at times he can be. I should say when I started taking this video I was trying to catch Nolan laughing like he had been doing. Then Easton got a little too excited. He did get a time out after this video was taken and had to apologize. Life with 3 little kids... you are constently trying to control situations.

Uncle JB was back in town for an interview. He went to Spencer's game on Wednesday. It was kind of chilly out so Spencer got to wear both his baseball pants and socks.


Grandma Nancy was in town for a wedding this weekend. Spencer is convinced she lives in hotels. So we stopped for a swim.


Easton is a little more shy/careful when it comes to playing in the water. He would rather be on the edge and throw things in for Spencer to get.


Saturday Ryan got some time to himself and went golfing. First with Grandpa Ron and then he golfed in the Birdies for Bob's House golf outing. So I thought it would be fun to venture downtown with the boys and walk around the farmers market area. The boys had fun and were great listeners.





This is one of the many reasons I started running. Spencer is WAY in front of Easton.


Something about tunnels the boys love. They had fun playing in this tunnel because they could hear their echo. Even bikers that rode through would join them by saying things.



We had an ice cream treat.

Our little knight playing Go Fish!

Little Miss Hadley turned 1 on Saturday. We had cake with her at the golf outing that night and had her birthday party the next day. I still can't believe she is 1. That means Nolan is soon to follow. Happy Birthday Auntie's Girl!
