On Sunday we tried to get some pictures of the kids together. They were all crazy and we never got a good one of them all together. Kaden and Nicolas have loved being here. On Sunday's they get to play with their cousins and have a great time. We can't wait for Jackson and Cory to join in the fun.
We had a little get together for my Grandma's birthday and this is a few of her Great Grandkids. Jackson and his cousin Cory were asleep so they aren't in the picture. There have been 4 babies born since May, so there are lots of cousins to play together. Nicolas had so much fun playing with his 2nd cousins that he's never even met. Its so nice to be close to family again so the kids can get to know the family.
I couldn't resist putting this cute picture of Nicolas in the dentist chair on here. He loved going to the dentist for the first time. He watched his favorite shows while he had a full exam. He was so good, I was nervous he would freak out with all of that stuff in his mouth but he did great. He was so excited to get his new toothbrush and a prize.
This is pretty much what Jackson did at 2 weeks old. He was calm and quiet when he was awake, he ate, then slept.
Kaden started 3rd grade on the 19th. I can't believe he is getting so old. He was nervous starting school at a new school, but he's done great so far and has made some good friends. He likes his teacher even though everyone told him she was mean and strict. He looks forward to school each day, he gets himself up and ready and walks with my Mom every day. I'm lucky to be here because I'm not functioning properly on very little sleep and its nice to have my parents help. Kaden is also loving the fact that school is easier here and instead of the hour of homework in California he has about 10 min. a few nights a week.

I love sleeping babies! Too bad he's not doing enough of this at night! He grunts and groans and fusses through the day and night, we're hoping he grows out of it real fast because we're exhausted. If he's awake he wants to be fed or held with a binky in his mouth, he's getting chubby and spoiled!
Nicolas celebrated his 3rd birthday on the 11th. We had a fun party for him with friends and family at the park. We had a little dinner, a water balloon fight, a pinata, and some yummy cake. I was worried we wouldn't be able to have his party since I'd just had the baby but I felt great and the party was fun. Nicolas is such a fun part of our family. He is silly and makes everyone laugh. You can't help but smile when you see his big, bright eyes! I'm sad he's growing up so fast, I swear he grew a foot while I was at the hospital and is suddenly not my baby any more! Although baby Jackson is unfortunately acting more like Nicolas did when he was a baby:( We love you Nicolas and we are so lucky to have you!
