My Boys


My Boys are Truly Incredible!

 Micah
Micah is the oldest and his personality is just that of any oldest child.  He likes to rule the roost and set the rules for his younger brothers.  He is confident but yet cautious as well.  He is now in 2nd grade and I couldn't be prouder of him.  He's a math wizard and enjoys reading the magic treehouse series.  He also has a sweet and sensitive side.  He often offers to help me with house work and offers plenty of hugs.  He is  child of routine (yes, I did this to him since birth) he likes things to happen the way they usually do.  I usually need to give him a heads up if something is going to change or be different.  I love the way he is, and wouldn't change anything about him.
A few of his favorite things:
Animals
Red Velvet Cake
Shrimp
Visiting new Zoos
Drawing/creating
Big and Little Dino



 



Josiah
Jojo is my sweet mischievous middle child.  I know this child well because I was that child.  Like myself, he's constantly on the move and enjoys new exciting adventures.  He's constantly running and jumping and making loud noises.  Jo is now in Kindergarten and is enjoying himself especially the social aspect.  His teacher described him as the child that everyone wants to be friends with.  Jo has a very easy go with the flow type of personality.  He just wants to keep up with his big brother and boss his little.  I'm so proud of my sweet boy who likes to snuggle.  I love that every night before bed he has to not only give me hugs and kisses but also kiss my forehead, my nose and hands.  He can't sleep without this routine.  He often wanders into my room around 5am and asking if its time to wake up, please just sleep past 7 sweet boy.   
A few of his favorite things:
Dinosaurs
Animals
Movie night (w/popcorn)
snuggles
frosted cookies w/sprinkles
His Giraffe and green blanky




 

Noah
My sweet Baby Noah, or nuenue is nothing but a ball of sunshine.  People often comment on his smile and how happy he is.  He truly is one of the happiest kids I know.  Noah is in his first year of preschool and is perfecting writing his name.  He could spend hours building and playing trains.  He loves to play with his brothers but, is also great at independent play.  Noah also has some amazing dance moves, at any given time he'll stop what he's doing and just break into movement.  Every morning never fail he says:  Mommy, do I have school today?  I may say, No.  He says, Do I have Bible Study? I may say No.  Then he starts to jump up and down and says Yeah I get to stay with Mommy.  He tells me at least 10 times a day that I'm his best buddy and often tells me i'm the best mommy in the world.  Don't make him mad because if you do he'll remove you from his birthday guest list.  Last but not least, I love that every night for the past 3 years he has requested I sing the choo choo train song before bed (that only we know... bc I made it up.)

A few of his favorite things:
Danimal smoothies
Fresh muffins in the morning
Trains
Books
Milk
turtle dreamlite and train blanket

Time for a quick update... full update to come soon!!!

The boys and i have been very busy.  I wish i had more time to keep track and make notes of everything that we've been up to.  Most recently i took the boys and their friend Charlie to see Alvin and the Chipmunks live.  The show was actually a lot of fun.  I bought the tickets the Monday before the show so our seats weren't the greatest.  When we arrived i realized i had printed the tickets out going the wrong direction which cut off the bar codes.  I went over to the box office and the guy was so generous (he probably thought man this women is brave taking 4 crazy boys out in the snow) he upgraded our seats to the 6th row behind the orchestra right in the middle.  The boys all had a great time as did i.  Here are a few pictures from our adventure...








I've also finally finished decorating the house for Christmas...

I have tons of pictures to share... I just uploaded over 1200 from my phone so i'll start sharing those soon.

Blessed

It's been awhile since i posted last.  So, I'm going to try really hard to keep up now that the boys are back in school and we're trying to create a new routine.  I feel so blessed right now in the place that i'm at.  The boys are enjoying school and doing great.  They've also adjusted very well to all the new changes that have taken place.  Children really are resilient and my boys are a perfect example of that.  We all have our weak moments but that's to be expected.  Dinner is calling my name so more and hopefully pictures to follow later.

Summer has Started

Well, summer is officially in full swing. The boys and i have already kept very busy this week.  We have made stops to the club house pool, the zoo and even found a few new parks.  My plan is to jam as much fun and adventure into each day which will only lead to a win win for us both... Good Sleep!
It's been a bit of an adjustment for everyone this week if i'm honest.  Micah is trying to get used to being with his brother all day long... his brothers are SO excited to have him home.  I'm just trying to get a good rhythm going, I've ventured out on a few runs with all 3 boys... 2 in the jogging stroller and Micah on his bike.  Pushing that stroller makes my running double difficult... (I may need to have the tough pretty girl talk with myself)
The boys are super excited because tonight we are having 'Movie Night' with our neighbors.  We've already picked out candy for the concession stand and personalized popcorn containers for each child.  (i'll post pictures tomorrow, they turned out so cute) Micah is sitting next to me creating movie tickets for each guest.  I've also printed out some cute coupons for each child to cash in for candy, popcorn, drinks and a special treat.  
Here's to starting summer with a bang and new adventures that still await
