The Happenings

We have been putting this off for far too long...taking off the training wheels. Caden is a very fearful child and he would never let us do it. We kept telling him that most of the Sunbeams can ride a two-wheeler. (except Halle, but that's a different story) He finally gave in a let Lucas take them off.





There were many tears shed and he eventually gave up, so the saga continues. Hopefully he will muster up the courage to try again. Maybe he will acquire the skill before he moves onto college. We can always hope.

Basketball

We told Caden if he played soccer last Spring, then he could play basketball when he got to Kindergarten. He was very excited because that's what he really wanted to do. It is so funny to watch 5 year olds play basketball because most of them have no clue what is going on. There are a select few that actually know how to play the game and they definitely dominate. I wish we would've taped the tip off because that was the best part. All of the kids watched as the ball rolled down the court and all of the parents are screaming "Go get the ball!". Finally all of the kids understood and there was a mad dash for the ball. It was definitely entertaining.





All of these pictures are just because I love my kids and they are very cute. (enough said)

The Many Faces of Noah

Noah is 6 weeks old today! I feel bad because I feel like I don't take enough pictures of him. With Caden I took a ton of pictures and with each child the picture taking has diminished. Sorry Noah, I really do love you.

He has started smiling more and more. He's getting to be more interactive and I love it!



Halle loves her brother! Sometimes she loves him too much and he gets mad.


I'm starting to get more energy back each day so I'm not a sleepy mommy all the time.

Noah loves his daddy too!

Caden was too busy playing the Wii so he didn't partake in the picture taking.

Here's the picture of him and his Lego creation that he wants to submit to the Lego magazine.
(Don't ask)


I LOVE MY FAMILY!!!!!

Noah and Bear

Noah turned 1 month old yesterday. I can't believe how big he has gotten already!


Here's Noah and the bear...

I tried to take their picture with their cute shirts, but of course they didn't cooperate.


I love his crazy hair


He's definitely out of his sleepy newborn stage. I really wish he would sleep more.

Lucas, Caden, and Halle went boating with Lucas' family.

Noah thought Lucas looked pretty funny in his hat. He wouldn't stop staring at him.


Caden is so brave!


Caden, Kylee, and Halle on the tube.

I am definitely ready for fall now. I'm weird and I love the colder weather!

First Day of Preschool

Halle's turn finally came! Every time I would take Caden to preschool Halle would freak out because she wanted to go too. For the past year she has been asking me if it was her turn to go to preschool. She was very excited that today was the day!

She was thrilled that she got to wear her new clothes that she picked out like 3 months ago.



I was trying to take pictures at the preschool, but it wasn't working so well. I was trying to hold the camera and Noah and trying to get Halle to smile and look at the camera.

She didn't shed any tears. She was ready for me to leave. In a way it makes me sad that my kids are ready to get rid of me. Deep down I know they love me.

She survived her first day and she can't wait to go back!

Noah went to his two week check up!
Here are his stats:
Weight: 8 lbs. 10 oz.- 46%
Height: 20.75- 55%
Head: 36.5- 38% (I was surprised how small his head was because usually my kids have heads in the 90th percentile.)

Here are his cute hospital pictures...

He is such a mellow baby. We are so grateful to have him in our family!


I'm pretty exhausted after taking care of 3 kids. Hopefully it gets better when I get more sleep.

Of course we had to take his picture with the bear...


Welcome to the family Noah!
