Happy Birthday Mackston

Mackston is 2 years old.  And he got spoiled rotten today because he's a big deal.

 We started the day with the traditional birthday pancakes.

 We made a chocolate oreo cake. My helpers were excited to taste the creation.

 

 The cake tasted amazing.

 

 Mac got a new set of wheels for his birthday.  This will get some good use with 3 boys.

 And a leaf blower from Grandpa and Grandma.

He got right to work with it.

Happy 2nd birthday Mac!

Crew {7 Weeks Old}

Our littlest guy is 7 weeks old. He likes to smile and has started to coo as well.

 We went to visit Grammy and Grampy this week so he got lots of snuggle time.  And a bath in their sink.

This little guy is growing way too fast.  But we are loving his smiles and coos.

Mackston {Last Day of 1}

Today is the last day my little Mac is one.  He has grown up so much quicker than the others because he is always trying to keep up with them. And he does a pretty good job of keeping up with them.

 You're a spicy little guy who loves to smile. You never stop moving!! You are on the move from sun up to sun down.

 I can hardly believe how fast the past 2 years have gone. I'll take all the sloppy kisses I can get because it won't be long before you'll be too busy to stop for smooches. Happy last day of 1 Mackston! We love you!!

Mackston {Potty Trained}

Mackston is officially potty trained. We are so proud of how quickly this little guy learned, and he did it before his 2nd birthday! He is so excited to be wearing "unies" (aka undies). And just like that we are back to having only one in diapers! Way to go Mac!

Weekly Update

We are closing in on the end of another school year and so excited to have Chesney home with us again soon.

 I know one little boy who will get extra lovins.

 Guess what?  We were outside a lot this week.

 Chesney had her spring concert.  The songs were so cute but this little lady was even cuter!

 

 Little buddies watching a show in the morning.

 Cinnamon sugar french toast bites were a huge hit last weekend.

More smiles from this sweet boy.

Crew {6 Weeks Old}

Crew is 6 weeks old. He's sleeping less during the day but still quite a bit. And he's still a big deal around here.

 New guy in charge of the remote.

Crew is so much more alert and has his big eyes open often now.

Getting out

The weather has been warmer which means we are once again practically living outside.

 I had lots of "help" planting flowers.  It turned messy pretty quickly and then the boys found the garden hose and washed each other off.  It was a mess, but they had fun.

 We went to the park, more than once.

 

 

 

 

 Mackston found some sunglasses.

 These two talented brothers decided to balance cheese on their heads while I made lunch one day.

 We had smoothies and Mackston was in charge of blending.

 These two stick together like glue.  Chesney is such a big help, and she doesn't even realize it.

Crew {5 Weeks Old}

Crew has hit the 5 week mark and developed a new talent this week.  He can now smile.  He gave his first smiles on the perfect day, Mother's Day.

 We got a new sleep sack for Crew because he likes to have his hands by his face.  He sleeps well and just looks so cute.

 Crew's first smiles.

This little guy loves to nap.

Mother's Day 2017

I had a fabulous Mother's Day which was mainly spent outside. I received some pretty awesome gifts.

 

 

I have some fabulous kids and an amazing husband.

Crew {1st Smiles}

Today Crew woke up extra happy and gave his first smiles. Chesney was so excited as she was holding him when he smiled for the first time.

 

Looking forward to many more smiles from this sweet boy.
