I love the stage my middle man is in. He still has a baby look, but he is growing into a big boy. Today he was mad at me because I wouldn't let him change his snack choice. He changes his mind on which snack he wants every single day. In fact, he changes it about 7 times in 7 seconds. I love it.
What I don't love is this. I hope that Big Guy will grow out of it! But let me tell you, he doesn't let it phase him in the least. In fact, today, in PE, he ran his laps and finished first. His teacher told me that he is definitely a cross country runner. It made his former cross country running mama proud. She also told me that he should take part in the kids' mile run that will be taking place here shortly. I'm worried he will make me look bad when I run it with him!! This proud mama had better get in shape.
Hmmm...he's still mad about the snack thing. The boys have the job of bringing in the recycle bins. He didn't want his brother to take his scooter, so he did a 2-in-1 job. It was too heavy for him, I made him eat pretzels, and his shoes were on the wrong feet (normal). Nothing is working out for Middle Man today. I love him.
She walks more than she crawls now. It makes life much, much easier!! We can go outside and I don't have to hold all of her 23 pounds the whole time.
Did you tell them my weight??
This stage is so much fun! I told Jay that if Little Miss had been a twin, I would have loved it! Well, now I would love it, but having newborn twins would have sent me up a crap creek without a paddle! (Can I say that?)
A normal afternoon for us.
It was somewhere around 70 degrees today. He really likes this jacket. :)
He's just about the sweetest kid in the world.
She found a sit and spin and couldn't get enough of it. She also saw our neighbor coming home. She's very social. Hmmm...wonder where she gets it. :)
This chica loves shoes!
I hope they always love each other like this. It's so funny, because both boys are very opposite. Big Guy likes to give out hugs. Middle Man would rather shake your hand. It's very entertaining to watch them in action.

Good blog! Loved learning more and more about your kiddos. I can tell isaac is a sweetheart--he's little eyes just sparkle!!
What sweet pictures. Josiah, I would have given you all 7 of those snacks---some see Gee, ok?
I can't WAIT to see the video of Isaac running a mile---with his mom, no less. I'm so proud he's so fast!
Olivia, you are BEAUTIFUL! I can't imagine that you are social...
And no, Amy, you can't see up a crap creek without a paddle.
SAY...you can't say...
I love keeping up with you family. You are so good at capturing the everyday precious moments!
I feel like I know your kids better now! Sweet kids. Josiah reminds me so much of Lanie! They would be best buds with their shoes always on the wrong feet :)
Hi, I like that you changed the title of your blog, we've been wanting to, but haven't come up with anything too clever! Also, great pics of the kids! Elizabeth must be catching up to Olivia if she only weighs 23#, Elizabteh is up to 20#. What is your weatherlike most of the time? we've been up in the high 60s-low 70s. We're supposed to het 80 on Mon-It will be so great!
I didn't know you were a cross country runner - way to go! Issac is getting so big and older looking. And Josiah, well, he's just too darn cute. Yes, you did put Miss O's weight and every pound is precious!
Marcy- he's very compassionate.
Mom- Josiah would be a happy camper with his Gee. Video? Hmmm....
Mendi- It's really all selfish because I love it!
Tamra- I'm telling you...those two are probably more alike than we know.
Sarah- I think that Olivia has slowed down in her weight gain. In fact, she still wears the same size clothes that she wore when we moved here 7 months ago!
The weather can get pretty cool here, but for the most part, we wear t-shirts and flip flops. We might throw on a jacket every once-in-a-while. Today it was in the 80's. i hope you guys get some great outdoors time!!!
Dawn- I did run cross country, but only because I am not athletic enough to play any other sport. In fact, I failed my volleyball serving test in junior high. The coach just kept shaking her head at me...talk about building confidence!! :)
Thanks for all of the pics! They are all precious. I'm so impressed with Isaac's cross country running ability. Amy, thanks for being a runner. Josiah looks like he needs some kind of a challenge. But what? Little Miss looks very happy. I'm glad she loves shoes and is Miss Social.
Great blog. How I love your kids. Josiah, David always wears his shoes on the wrong feet too. In fact when he puts them on the right feet, they feel weird, HA!!
Olivia, you are a little beauty and I'm so glad you are social ;)
Ike, I am so proud of you. You are a fast boy.
I love those kids! I think Siah and Addilyn have more in common than we know right now. She can't seem to make up her mind about anything! It's fine with me if you say it. It's your blog!
