Babies....

Yesterday Chase, Shelby, and I finally got all 3 of our babies together.  But we didn't manage to get a picture of all 3 together!  But we will!!!
This is Branson Chase.  He was born March 3rd, nearly 4 weeks early!  He is so sweet and looks just like his brothers.  He is so teeny!  I can't believe that only 13 or so weeks ago Mckenna was so small too.  They just grow to fast.  But we are so thankful Branson is here healthy and safe.  Congrats Chase and Miakay!!

This is little Miss Sophie!
Two little sweet girls!!

Rub a Dub....Two Sisters in the Tub

This afternoon Mckenna has been a little cranky.  I knew she was tired because she had only had catnaps all day long.  I asked Macie if she wanted to have a bath with Mckenna and she said yes.  So the two girls had a bath together.  Mckenna loves her bath....and having one in a "pool" tonight was great!  She loved kicking her legs and splashing.  They had lots of fun.

Cooking with Connor

Connor is my little chef.  He definitely takes after his dad!  Whenever Ty or I am cooking or baking he always wants to come in and help out with whatever we are doing. 
This morning we asked him what he wanted for dinner.  He chose hamburgers.  When it was time to make them he kept telling us that he was going to do it.  I didn't think he would touch the bloody, gross looking raw hamburger.....but by dang he did!  He helped Ty make the patties and he didn't even bat an eye.  Then he "helped" grill them.  He was pretty proud of the dinner he made us!

The Connor in the Hat

When I picked Connor up from school today he came out with this adorable hat!  I asked him if he had fun today and he said "Yes mom, you don't always have to ask that!"  Well obviously not because he always tells me had fun!  He has learned so much and has gained so much independence.  I love preschool!!!

The Tooth Fairy visits again

Last night Macie lost tooth #3!! She has been working on it for about a week and she was so excited when her daddy helped her pull it out!! She was excited this morning when the tooth fairy had left her a gold coin!

3 Months Old....

I cannot believe how time flies! Mckenna is 3 months old today! She has been such a joy to our family. She has brought such a sweet spirit and so much love into our home. She loves to be read to and talked to. She smiles and coos like crazy. She is very very drooly. She has been sleeping anywhere from 6 to 10 hours at night! She is a great baby and has the sweetest little personality. I love you my sweet little Mckenna!!!

~This and That~

Macie has become a fantastic reader! She is so so smart. She can practically pick up any book and read it with no problems. If she comes to a word she doesn't know she sounds it out and 95% of the time she figures it out on her own! I am so proud of her. She loves to read and Mckenna loves to hear her read. When Macie reads to Mckenna she listens and then soon starts to coo and smile. She loves being read to! Looks like I have another book lover on my hands!!






My little Connor has such a great imagination. I was feeding the baby when he came in with a stack of cups. He started setting them up and then got a little rubber ball and rolled it at the cups. I asked what he was doing and he said bowling mom! These cups are my pins. He played this for quite a while the other morning. He is so good to play things on his own and is always doing something exciting whether it be the lone ranger, Green Bay football, or hunting. He is always busy!!









Last but not least my sweet little Mckenna. She is such a good baby. She really isn't a big cryer or very fussy at all. She has been doing the greatest thing for a couple weeks now. She has been sleeping 6, 7, even 8 hours at night!!! I LOVE it! Of course I wake up every few hours to check on her because I am a nervous mommy! But the downside is she hasn't been taking great naps during the day. She is a cat napper. But I am loving the all night thing. She wakes up super happy with her big gummy smile! She is such a sweet baby!





So all in all I am just bragging about my kids! I am the luckiest mommy in the world to 3 beautiful, smart, sweet, fun kids!
