Devin James

We have a beautiful baby boy! I was induced on the 22nd and everything went very well. Devin weighed 6 lbs 13 ozs and was 20 inches long. He has a thin layer of light brown/blonde hair. We still cannot decide who he looks like - he does not look like Tyler or Jason did when they were born.

Tyler and Jason are really cute with him. Jason still has a hard time remembering his name and wants to call him Jaxson like his new little cousin.

{Happy Halloween}

I am sitting at home enjoying a few moments of peace and quiet in between trick or treaters! Jimmy and the boys braved the rain to go trick-or-treating. The rain has stopped now, so hopefully they will be able to stay out a while. Jason was supposed to be a viking but changed his mind a few hours before going trick-or-treating. Luckily, we have a plethora of pirate gear at our house so it was not a big deal. I think I enjoy being the one to stay home and hand out candy.

Halloween Fun

These are a few of the things that we have been up to this month. Tyler and Jason each had field trips to a really fun pumpkin patch. We did a neighborhood field trip to the fire station. We played in the leaves and, of course, carved pumpkins. Hopefully I will be on the ball and get pictures from Halloween posted before Thanksgiving :-)

Birthday weekend

It was my sisters birthday a few weeks ago and my parents and sisters came to celebrate. Tiffany decided to go sky diving. She has been wanting to do it for a while and finally decided to take the plunge. The rest of us went to watch her jump. She had a great time! We also went to a trout farm to let the kids fish. They had more fun feeding the fish than catching them, but it was still lots of fun. We had a girls night and ate dinner at the Melting Pot.

New cousin

Tyler and Jason have a new little cousin, Jaxson. My sister, Courtney, had Jaxson almost a month ago now. He was three weeks early and had to be on oxygen for a little while but is doing great and is very cute. We went to see him over Labor Day. Tyler was really sweet with him and Jason kept his distance. Jason just wondered why everything on him was so small. It was good for them to get a taste of what a new baby is going to be like in our home.

Soccer

Tyler started soccer a few weeks ago and is having lots of fun. Jimmy is coaching his team. Most of the boys on Tyler's team are really timid, so that makes the games interesting! I will try to get a good video to post.

First Day of School

Tyler started kindergarten a few weeks ago and absolutely loves it! His teacher is amazing and he has a couple of good friends in his class. He thinks it is the best thing to go to school every day now. He is doing great and really enjoys going every day.

Jason started preschool one day a week(there are 6 of us that will take turns teaching) and has had a great time as well. He was really excited about it until we pulled up to the house for the first day, then he got nervous and started to cry a little bit. I took him in and got him playing and he was fine. Now he is so excited to go and just takes off as soon as I pull up to the house. I think he likes to be big like his brother.

With Tyler going to school in the afternoon and Jason in the morning it gives me a little bit of one on one time with each one of them, at least until #3 comes along! They both enjoy that time as well.

The boys had a little bit of fun posing for the camera!

Summer Update

To say that I have been a slacker on my blog is an understatement. It has been so long since I posted that I don't even know where to begin. I am just going to post some digi scrapbook pages that my sister and I just finished of the year. This is the easiest way to get the most pictures in. We have had a great summer with friends, family, camping, swimming, and just playing outside with friends.

I guess that I should also metiontion that I am pregnant - 25 weeks to be exact! I am due November 30th and it is another boy! We are excited and have been trying to prep the boys for the new arrival. We put them in the same room with bunk beds and they seem to enjoy it so far.
