First Day of School

Today was Hunter's very first day of school! He started kindergarten. I can't believe how fast time has gone by.
Hunter was so excited to start. He had set his clothes out the night before. He had his back pack all set, and his homework done. (Yes he had homework before he started school) When we took him to his class, he barley even noticed us leaving.
After school was finished, he was just full of energy. He is so happy that he gets to go to school tomorrow. I'm glad that he had such a good start to his schooling career.

Camping out Back


Last weekend Jeff and I thought it would be fun to have a small camp out on our new trampoline. So we brought all the bedding out and an assortment of treats, and headed outside. Hunter and Houston were so excited to be sleeping outside and on a trampoline. Jeff was a little less excited, but was an excellent sport about it.
We each told ghost stories, and Hunter especially got into it. Even after the stories were finished, he would ask over and over again, if the stories were true.
After the scary stories, Harley and I went inside to sleep. The three boys stayed outside. We had thought that it was going to be a beautiful night to sleep outside, and we were right for most of the night it was. Unfortunately about two thirty in the morning, it started to rain. Jeff had to hurry and drag the boys in, with all their bedding.
Besides the soggy ending, we all had a great time.

One Month Old

Our little Harley is now one month old. I can't believe how fast the time has gone by. She is doing great! She is already doing better at sleeping through the night. She is also a great eater. Although it's hard to tell, because she is still just a little thing.
Her brothers are completely in love with their little sister. Houston will bring me her Binky (without using it first) or one of her headbands. He can already say her name, and is very careful around her.
Hunter can't have enough of her. He wants to hold her all the time. He is also very protective of her. He makes sure that everyone sanitizes before they hold her. When she is crying, he will try to take care of her. He will talk to her in a high pitched voice, and give her her Binky. Harley is very lucky to have two really good big brothers.

Growing Up Fast!

Houston is officially a big kid now. He is now sleeping in a big boy bed. No more crib or play pen. Jeff and I were worried to put him in a bed so young. (He's not a year and a half yet) We really didn't have a choice, unless we wanted to buy another crib. (What would I do with two??) Lucky for us, Houston loves his new bed. I have had no problem putting him down. Houston just loves being like his big brother, and having a bed like him.

It is amazing to me how fast time goes by. It only seems like yesterday that Hunter was trying to ride his tricycle, and his feet couldn't quite touch the peddles. Now that we have moved, and his bike came out of storage, Hunter has learned to ride his bike without training wheels.
It didn't take him long, and soon he will be ready to go on bike rides with Jeff and I. I'm very proud of my oldest son. He is growing up right before my eyes.
