A few FIRSTS!!

Well, we all have been adjusting quite nicely around here the last few weeks. I sure LOVE my three little boys so much!  I would be lying if I said we didn't have some NUTS times as well. Daddy of course is still working two full time jobs for another month or so until it starts cooling down a bit. .....until then, I have been pulling off the single mother thing. Question is... how do single mothers do it? Kudos to them! I know "the man upstairs" has blessed me more than I know, I am sure. Most days are busy but doable, some days are not so much! (especially with mastitis, hives, and other after birth specials! Those are all gone now..THANK HEAVENS!)  I count down the days til the weekend when daddy is home to help and sooth the stress.. He is such a great daddy that helps out SO MUCH but also makes life so much sweeter! I just can't wait to have him home around more.

I have not been near the picture taker that I would normally like to be...but these are a few that I have captured that last couple weeks.

Sweet brother bonding time. Tate can be a great helper, when he is in the mood!
 
My THREE boys! Love them all!
 So tiny still in his seat.
 
Grandpa Mc at age 97 wanted CREW to come and see him FIRST out of the hospital. We made that a priority and went to his house a few days out. Grandpa is deaf and blind, but it was really important for us to stop on by. We did and it was great!
 

 

 
Crew had his FIRST bath at home! He was liking it for the first part, but then towards the end...not so much! Ever since this he has loved baths! What is it about a naked baby that is soooo cute???? LOVE IT!
 

 

 
So tender!!
 

 
Crew met his new best buddy Callin for the FIRST time. They are only a week apart. Callin has a lot more meat on him now but was only 3 ounces bigger at birth!
 

 

Daddy on the weekends has done some pretty sweet and enjoyable outings with the boys. The demolition derby was one big highlight for them. They loved the 'crashing' cars! It was a FIRST for them, but not a last!
 

 

 

 
Aaron's 2nd job had a AWESOME family summer party! The FIRST time we have been able to go. They had all sorts of fun things for kids to win and do. Plus free food and treats all day long!! It was great. Though the baby was still really young, we all went anyways. It really was such a great day and so fun for all of us!
 
Playing lots of fun games and winning lots of prizes!!!

Pop a balloon with a dart!
 
Spin a prize.
 
Plinko!
 
Fish pond.
 
Toss.
 
Racing fish! This was super cute.
 
Bounce house and slides.
 
Mom even did it! (Don't tell the doctor!)
Climbing wall.
 
Roping the calf. (Funny this was, most kids did this...but Aaron did it and drew quite the crowd. It was super funny!)

All you can eat COTTON CANDY! YUM!
Rides.
Toys.
 
Face painting!
 
Then the evening ended with swimming at the pool! The boys have gone to the pool 3 weekends in a row with different parties. They have been soo lucky!
 

 

 
Crew went to Ryan's place park for the FIRST time. He slept the whole time! HA HA!
We played at the park and went out for ice cream after with friends. LOVED IT!

Life has changed a bit with the new baby around...but we still make time for otter pops and pool time out back!


Tate started his FIRST day of PRESCHOOL! He missed the deadline for Kindergarten by 2 weeks, but everyone says this is best for him anyways. He was sooo excited and really did great! He even has one of his best friends in his class!
 




Davin had his FIRST dentist appointment and did great! He got some great prizes from it also. He was a trooper! Tate did good as well!
I will be better at taking more pictures in the next few weeks I promise. We just have been working it all out! Life is good!
