3 months

We met Jason, Anne, Rivers and Payson in Snowshoe, WVA so the boys could go skiing.  We went for a long weekend Friday- Monday. Anne and I hung out with the babies.  This was the first time we had met Payson.  We left Kaelyn with Brian's parents.  I hated that she couldn't join us but it made things a little easier while we were there.  We had a lot of fun and Jaxon enjoyed being around his cousins.  We even enjoyed the outdoor pool.
Jaxon got car sick on Monday on our way back home.  So that was no fun.
















Tuesday morning Brian woke up with the flu.  It was challenging to take care of everybody.  I'm not a very good nurse when the hubby gets sick.  Mama doesn't get any sick days.
Thursday morning Jaxon woke up with a fever. I quarantined them to our room. Jaxon loved it because he got to camp out on the floor watching Amazon prime all day with daddy.  Kaelyn was contained in her crib.  Hadley stayed upstairs in the attic with me.  I kept her up in the attic during the day too.  Poor thing.  This is the 2nd time she's had to stay away from everybody.  After she was born Kaelyn and Jaxon had the croup.
Our wonderful neighbor Lisa brought us dinner and chocolate for me. Others offered to help.  I'm so thankful for our friends.  It takes a village.

The kids found backpacks at REI


They love playing in the rain puddles


Kaelyn loves holding baby Hattie.  She always wants to know where she is


We went on a field trip to Homeland Creamery with our MOPS group.  We got to see the cows, go on a hayride, learn how to milk a cow and got free ice cream.  The kids loved it.






It was super hero day at school.

They love playing dressup


My mom and dad came to visit and help out while brian went on the mens retreat



Jaxon has learned how to do the jumping jacks.  He continues to poop in the potty.  He is still napping in the afternoon at the same time as the girls.  Thank the Lord.  He takes good care of his sisters and they play well together.  He loves to be a tattle tell.

Playing outside on these nice days











Having fun in the hammock



blowing bubbles and playing with our new basketball hoop (from our wonderful neighbors)


Jaxon has been taking some free tae kwon do classes and has enjoyed it.

The rides were open at burlington city park and we stayed and had a picnic.








Kaelyn got some new undies and she decided to try them all on at the same time

Doing some yard work and helping daddy outside




3 months old- she loves to smile and coo and talk to you. She continues to roll over and loves to move off her activity mat.

We went to Ben and Jerrys for free cone day

2 months old

With all the father/daughter dances in our area I was excited for a Mother and Son Superhero date night.  We had a great time going with our neighbors.





newborn pictures back and finally got our birth announcements out





We love getting outside for exercise at the park.  I had to wear Hadley, push Kaelyn  in the stroller, and watch Jaxon ride his bike

We had friends over to play and eat lunch.  The kids love to eat outside.

The kids love to dig in the dirt on a beautiful spring day. 


Can't believe she is 2 months old- been smiling and cooing, sleeping through the night.  She's ready for bed around 8 and will wake up between 4-6 to eat again.  She's a pretty content baby that goes with the flow.

Kaelyn is a chatter box.  Jaxon usually has to interpret for us.  She loves to copy her brother.

Jaxon is still pooping in the potty and wants a treat every time he goes.  He also does not want to flush the toilet because he wants to show daddy.  He's been practicing his writing.  I usually make him do a letter in his ABC activity book before he can do anything else.

He learned an important lesson on stealing.
Jaxon came down stairs with a smile on his face. Like he was hiding something then a few minutes later he showed me he was wearing a watch. Apparently he took it from his friend Timmy's house. He wanted to bring it to school to show his friends and said that he didn't have one. That night he was going to church for Awana and he was to meet up with Timmy and return the watch and apologize. 

At bed time Brian read the Bible story from exodus on the 10 commandments.  Jaxon recognized that not stealing was one of the commandments. Brian and Jaxon prayed and asked for forgiveness.  We felt like he understood. 
Then the next day we had friends over he took his friends flip flops to try on and wanted to wear them. He didn't ask. It was hard for him to give them back. He said he liked them and he wanted them because he didnt have any.  I guess he didn't learn his lesson.

We went to Pittsboro to visit with Aunt Gloria and Uncle Rob








all 3 at 2 months old

I found some goggles while cleaning up and they love to wear them around the house.

We decided to clean the dust off our Wii and buy Mario Cart.  Jaxon loves to play it

Picture Day for Jaxon.  I usually have to bribe him for special occasions to let me spike his hair.

I had to go to the Toyota place to get the van serviced with 3 kids in tow.  We read books, ate snacks, and walked around the showroom.  They decided to sit on the couch and read magazines.  This was not staged.  We waited for 2 hours they did amazingly well.

Fun pictures of the kids.  They love their sister.
