Checking everyone out at dinner.

Feeding the fish before we leave.

After a week where three out of five of our family had tummy issues we definitely needed a night out. Everyone was better and ready to eat! Baylor and Cooper both love House of Tokoyo, boys after their daddy for sure, and eat great there. Cooper calls it "House of Pinocchio" and always asks to eat there. They love chicken terriyaki. Baylor took Liberty Bear there last year and wanted to take him again. Even though it always takes longer to eat there they always do great with the "cheffer" cooking at the table. This was our first dinner out as a family of five and it went great. Parker slept all during dinner and woke up when I was finished and ate before we left. He was an angel baby! We had a really great dinner and a nice time as a family of five!!!

Bowling Boys

What a big ball!
A yummy lunch!

Pappaw and the boys.

Go Coop!

Great Job B Man!

On Saturday Tom, Baylor, Cooper and Pappaw went for a fun day of bowling. Baylor has been wanting to go bowling for real since he has been enjoying bowling on the Wii. He has been before but Cooper had never bowled. They both had a so much fun and loved spending time with Daddy and Pappaw. They bowled two games and ate lunch. Liberty Bear went too and was able to bowl with the boys. What a fun day.

Blue Friday

After preschool Mimi, the boys, and I met Jenny and Ethan at Circle Centre Mall. We thought this would be a great place to go since we could park in the garage and not have the little ones outside at all. However, it was a Blue Friday pep session for the Colts and was super busy. There was music and lots of people. Luckily we had brought Liberty Bear and he could join in the Colts fun. We waited to see Colts Cheerleaders and get some Colts posters. After the pep session we ate lunch and did some bargain shopping. Jenny is super excited for the Super Bowl because Chris and Jen are going to Miami to cheer the Colts on to a victory. We will look for them on T.V. How fun!!!!

Squeaky Clean

Liberty Bear likes to make cookies.

Working on homework.

Liberty Bear likes Parker too.

Can you find Liberty Bear? He was cheering Baylor on during Wii time.

He likes these cute brothers.

Working on flash cards. He is one smart bear.

Snack time!

At Baylor's preschool the children take turns bringing home the class bear, Liberty Bear. On Wednesday Baylor brought home Liberty and he was so excited. Liberty Bear had a bath before coming to our house to make sure he was nice and clean. Baylor has been loving on Liberty and doing lots of fun things with him. He has not let him out of his sight. They have played, made cookies, colored, worked on school work, played Wii, read books, and much more.

Dinosaur Train

He loves trains and dinos!
He was busy knocking over dinos. Thomas is one strong train.

Roar!

Riding the rails.

Parker sat and watched us play.

Cooper has been feeling icky today so he stayed at home with Parker and I and Mimi took Baylor after school. I have tried my best to keep him far away from Parker and have been cleaning and sanitizing like crazy. I am praying that Parker stays healthy and does not get the bug. I am hoping Cooper feels like himself again soon. He did have a good time playing today though and enjoyed one on one time with his "mama". He loves Dinosaur Train on PBS and wakes up asking to watch it in the morning. I have recorded some episodes on the TV so we can watch it whenever we want. Today we made our own dinosaur train adventure with the dinos and trains. He had fun knocking dinos into trains and giving the little "gummy" dinos rides on the trains. He makes some great dinosaur noises. It kind of made me sad when he was calling them dinosaurs because just a few short months ago he would call them horsies. Oh how fast they grow! Cooper really is a great independent player and has such a great imagination. It was fun to soak him in and spend time with my little two year old. After playing we read several dinosaur books from my teaching collection. He keeps asking to go to the "mooooseum" to see the big dinosaurs. Hopefully we can go again soon!

Girls Night Out

Last night I was able to go out with girlfriends for the first time since Parker was born. I had originally planned to take him but after he took a bottle like a champ on Sunday and it was so cold I thought it would be best to leave him home. Tom did great with all three boys! I was so thankful for a fun night with friends. We went to PF Chang's and had a delicious dinner. These girls are so much fun and so sweet! I had a great time and look forward to another girls night soon.

5 Weeks Old

Cutie!
You weigh 13 1/2 pounds

You like to watch the ceiling fan and lay on the bed in the morning.

You are getting so big.

On your five week birthday your brothers worked hard on Valentine crafts. They did a great job!

Parker you are five weeks old today! You are growing and changing each week and the time is flying by! You are such a happy baby but sure do love being held. I am starting to notice that you fuss more often when you are sat in your bouncy seat if you are awake. I have been using the sling at home to carry you in so I can still get things done. You love to be held close. You are getting better and better at night time but still only sleep 3 to 31/2 hours at a time. You love watching your brothers and track them around the room. We love you!

A Day With Mama

Mama and Parker.
We listened to Jenny singing a song on CD from when she was a little girl, so sweet.
Parker got to hang out in Papa's study.
The boys love Papa's deer head in the game room.

He's the sweet lover!!!

I love her!

Mimi and Coop.

Baylor and Jen.

Parker and Ethan sat on the table in their seats and snoozed the lunch away.

After preschool Mimi, the boys, and I met Mama, Jenny, and Ethan for lunch at McAllister's. We had a great lunch and enjoyed spending time together. The boys were really happy to see Ethan. After lunch we went to Mama's house to spend time with Mama and Papa. The boys had fun playing the piano and with the toys in the game room. Mama had Valentine treats for everyone to eat and the boys all got a little prize. While we were there it started to snow like crazy. Thankfully it stopped and did not stick but it sure was chilly and windy. Oh how we are looking forward to spring and warmer days!!!
