You're Fired

Bedtime is just a nutty part of the day and with three boys sharing the same room, it can be down right banana's.  Last night after putting the boys to bed, I was in the kitchen cleaning up and Aaron comes in crying.

 Aaron: "Mom, Andy's fired."

Mom: "He's fired?  From what?"

A: "He's fired from being my brother!"

M: "I'm sorry to hear that, let's go back to bed."

I relayed this story to Mike when he got home from junior high at church and we just laughed.  Kids are funny.

woah, has it really been two years?

Wow, how did 2 years just pass without me posting pictures about the boys?  Shame on me, sorry nana & papa..

Well, since I started a new blog for myself, tulipsandpine.blogspot.com mainly for my etsy store and will be blogging there, I will be making regular appearances again over here updating all the crazy life with 3 boys.

I plan on posting pictures I currently have availability to here to do a fast over view of the last 2 years and some of the big and not so big events.

Stay tuned.......

Sweet Days of a Newborn

I thought I would share a few pictures of Jacob in the first few days of his life in our family. He is such a good baby, but the two year old could use a few lessons. It's wonderful to have Mike home so I can just rest and recover.

Jacob at 2 days old. He and I stayed home on Easter Sunday and missed the family celebration, but it was a good time just the two of us.

If you look closely, Jacob is swimming in his clothes. Neither Andy nor Aaron were in newborn sized clothes, so I don't' have any, but a sweet friend ran to Target for me so Jacob would have a few clothes to wear that fit. He and Andy were napping on the couch and I just couldn't pass up this sweet moment. J is 3 days old.

Grandma also helped out in the newborn clothing situation and he looks so darn cute in his little baseball outfit at 8 days old. Poor kid was fighting the goopy eye syndrome for a few days, but luckily, it started after birth, so we should be in the clear.
Here is another picture day 8 of Jacob's life. I had to pick this shot because of the look on Aaron's face, that kid is just too funny some days.

Friday Funny

This morning I was blow drying my hair and the boys came into my bedroom to hang out with mom. I had the cabinet door open and Aaron came in and pulled out my hair spray bottle. Andy then told me, "Don't spray your stuff yet, I don't want to get sparkled."

Later on in the day, we were over at grandma's house spending the afternoon with her. Andy needed to use the bathroom and grandma went in to lend assistance if needed. She walked in and discovered Andy standing to use the potty. He then blurted out, "Look Grandma, I can pee like a man!" Grandma just told him to keep it in the potty.

It's Too Quiet

I was in the kitchen cleaning up from breakfast and I noticed it was a bit too quiet in the house as I only heard the tv going. I walked into the living room and came upon my two boys sitting together watching tv. It's one of those moments I had to capture.

Andy's First Video

Andy keeps surprising me every day. I was scrolling through my camera to see what all was there and noticed a new video had been recorded. Now I have no idea who showed him the video button 0n my digital camera, but he found it and recorded our everyday life.
