Charlie goes to bed

We got our lab, Charlie, shaved a couple weeks ago and he looks and feels great! No more piles of hair everywhere outside. I gave him a good bath and we let him in to tuck the boys into bed and you would not believe the cackles of belly laughs that poured out of their room, I could hardly stand up I was laughing so hard. They thought it was hilarious that he was laying in their bed, when he was probably really thinking "thank you thank you thank you, I will lay down and not move if I can stay in here all night!" and he was laying still and not moving so we wouldn't notice him I guess.....soooo, now we have started something and he comes in every night to say goodnight!



Where is Hudson??

There he is!

She slept really well like this! Her Daddy and Mawmaw both sleep with their arms over their head...maybe its genetic! Ha!

This has been a great week at preschool, the boys have been singing sweet songs all week and have traced their name! This morning while getting dressed Hudson said, "Momma! Today is the 19!" He knew the date! I didn't even know the date! They have gone without TV a few nights this week as punishment for testing my limits... and it was so nice and peaceful. Today, ugh... Harrison locked the door as I was putting Saylor in the car (thank goodness she was not in the house!) so we were locked out. Locked out and inside was my phone, my purse, Saylor's bottle, and more importantly my coffee! Panic started to set in because we have no spare key. I dropped the boys off and went to Joel's work (in my partial pj's). I got his phone and had planned on heading straight to WalMart to buy a bottle and formula because it was time for baby to eat. My mom was trying to teach me how to break the window safely over the phone. Long story short...locksmith was on the way, Joel left work and came home and popped door open with credit card :)


We went to visit with Pappy and Nana Pierce last weekend and celebrated Nana Pierce's birthday. I tried to get a picture of the birthday girl but she was camera shy ;)

Uncle Matthew and Aunt Julia....they just celebrated 10 years!

Lookout...Joel bought a gun and can't shoot the target yet! :/

Aren't these cousins the cutest kids!?

Playing with Saylor

After a long afternoon with two "defiant" 3 year olds, I can't find them in the house and I hear screaming and this is what I see out the window.... boys...

These were the Smurfs they got in their happy meals this week and I had to laugh, they are so appropriate for each boy...I won't say who got who but the grandparents will know right off! haha!

She is starting to grow some hair!!

First day of K-3!

The boys started preschool this week at St.John's Day School here in Laurel. They will be going 5 days from 7:45 - 11:45! There are two Pre K-3 classes so the boys are in different classes... VERY hard decision, but it's for the best and after this week we felt really good about it. There was another set of twins that were separated too. Hudson's teachers are Mrs.Panda and Ms.Jenny and Harrison has Mrs.Mary Ann and Mrs.Elizabeth. They are the sweetest people and we are so excited about all the great things they are going to get to do and learn this year! The boys see each other at recess and bathroom. Hudson said yesterday, "I saw Harrison when I went to the bathroom and he waited on me". They are excited to see each other after school and enjoy talking about what each one did to one another, it's precious! The boys didn't cry at all, Hudson looked back but he didn't waiver. Mommy cried like baby after they were out of the car and then was fine :)

Harrison ready to go!

Hudson is a little nervous but doesn't say much!

The boys together before we pull out.

They thought I would let them get by with this picture....I didn't realize it until after I took it that they each had a wad of gum in their mouth, I laughed out loud as I was going through these on my computer so I had to add it. I made them take it out and hold it in their hand in the picture above this one.

Daddy scooping up a load of boys to go bed! Now we are back in a routine and I think we all are going to thrive in a routine! Sigh....these boys are saying the pledge now, all growns up :')

All Aboard!

Happy 3 months old to our Saylor girl! She has really started to show her sweet personality. She is so happy and laid back, she smiles if anyone pays her attention. She wakes up once during the night to eat and eats just about every 4 hours during the day. We are all enjoying her so much! (However...I have got to work on her shopping skills, she's not a fan of getting in and out at the store or riding in the buggy :/ )


This week we took the boys to the train station in Hattiesburg and everyone rode the train to Laurel where Saylor and I picked them up!

Harrison, Liam and Hudson waiting on the train.

The crew that rode the train, I decided that me and Saylor would drive instead of ride, trying to figure out those logistics was really puzzling...who would drive and leave a car who would pick up etc.

Granny and Saylor

Nanny with the little boys

The brothers...they really enjoyed the ride it was 35 minutes long which was barely enough time for me to watch them get on the train and book it to Laurel to pick them up. If you wanna catch the train to come visit just holler we would love to pick you up! :)

Rainbow

"Like the appearance of a RAINBOW in a cloud on a rainy day, so was the appearance of the brightness all around it. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord . . . " (Ezekiel 1:26-28)

With the rain that has been coming in the afternoons we have seen a few rainbows in this same spot....this picture doesn't do the beauty justice!

Hudson's first time to feed Saylor on his own, he was great!

Saylor in my baby dress, thank you Mom for taking care of these things all these years :)
