Birthday Boy

 This boy is something else. He has so much crazy energy and a definite wild side.  He keeps us entertained, on our toes, and laughing all the time and I wouldn't have it any other way. We love him like crazy!
 



 For a few months any time I would ask him what kind of a cake he wanted he would say a Joker cake. the boys are very much into everything Batman so it wasn't a big surprise.  I spent lots of time trying to decide how I was going to make it work. My amazing friend told me that she would love to help me try to do the cake using fondant.  This was my first time ever using fondant so I'm so glad she was there to help me.  It turned out awesome; I think, and Jagger loved it so that is what really matters.
I made the Joker's hair, head, face and hands and my friend made the rest of his body.  The boys liked it so much they started fighting over who got to eat him. 

Jagger had a great birthday! He is a great little boy and we are so happy he is a part of our family.

Picture Overload

Again I find myself very behind, so I'm trying to catch up. 
 The usual at our house; all the boys playing and wrestling.

 Walks at the park poor Jag gets tired and needs to take breaks so he naps on the rocks.
 This was a BIG deal at our house! Jaxon had been looking forward to preschool for months so when the day finally arrived he was all sorts of excited.  He walked right into his class and we found his chair and he barely gave me a glance good bye. 

 It was a successful day and he continues to love school and is learning so many new things.
 Daddy was able to take him to his second day of school.
 I love to look back at pictures of the older boys and  remember what they looked like.  All three boys are within a couple weeks of 5 months old here.
 Park days. Jax wanted to help Jagger.
 First fieldtrip to the fire station. Sadly they got a call right as we were starting to look at the trucks.
 He is still trying very hard to figure out how to crawl.  He can scoot himself backwards pretty well.
 Walk/bike ride while  Jax is at school.
 Oh family pictures. They are so stressful for me and I always wonder why I bother and put myself through it but then when I get the finished product I forget just how much work it was.

 National Talk like a Pirate day! We love any excuse to dress like pirates but if we get free donuts too it really is a no brainer.  If you dress like a pirate Krispy Kreme gives you a free dozen donuts.  Yes we did end up getting 3 dozen donuts but no we didn't eat them all ourselves.  We dropped off a couple at Daddy's work.

 With 3 kids, one that is a baby I feel like we are always at the Dr. office.  At least it is entertaining. 
 6 Months and getting big.15.5lbs and 27 1/4 inches long. He is sitting pretty well on his own but still falls over a little and is rolling everywhere and trying to figure out how to get his arms and legs to work together.  I'm ok if it doesn't happen for a little while longer, he is a busy boy.


 Enjoying the nice warm fall weather while we still can.

 My friend and I dressed up for the church youth activity Mall madness.  You dress in disguises and the youth have to find you and figure out who you are.

Jaxon's preschool special friend day. He invited my friend and the boys had a blast. Jax was so excited to introduce our friend to his teacher. 

Fall here means pine needles EVERYWHERE!
