The Big 3

                                                           Happy Birthday Big Boys!

The boys are 3 years old now! I cant believe it they are big boys now. Iam hoping this turning 3 thing means the terrible 2's are over? Well I hope so, I have heard 3 is wors then 2 haha. We didnt do a big bash or anything just a simple dinner and cake and ice cream. Me and James wanted to do there birthday together so we both could see them. So we did the twins party at James moms house, my parents couldnt come because my grandpa passed away the day before there birthday and they were going to plan the funeral.

We did pizza cake and ice cream. It was small and simple just perfect. They got lots of fun presents there favorite was the scooters James and me got them. They seriously took them home and slept with them that night. "not kidding" lol My mom new we were getting them the scooters so she got them helmets to go with them.

Isaiah had fun too, he had not idea what was going on but he enjoyed himself. He even had a little preview of cake. A test run I guess for his big day in a couple months.

Got them some big boy panties too. They have been potty training and doing pretty good these last couple months so I thought I would give them a test run. Elijah did awesome he never went in them at all. Noah though he is a little harder for some reason I would put him on the toilet every 20 minutes and after 3 times of putting him on and he wouldnt go he finally did "in his underware." so he went back into the diaper and I told him we could try again tomorrow. After that he did better the next day.

I took the kids the the park the next day, rain and all because they wanted to play with there scooters. They are so good at riding them.

They obviously had to play on everthing else too, I was surprized they did since they were on there scooters for so long. I love how Elijah played on he slid with his helmet on I would prefer them to do that since there such monkeys and jump off of everything!

The baby had to get in his fun park time too. This is his first time in a swing :) He loved it and would giggle every time I would push it. It was a fun birthday weekend for the twins. Next up my big 1 year old in October :( I dont think I will do well with that one.

Its the little things...

Mini Parade

Okay one more post today,

This morning there was a neighborhood breakfast and they wanted all the kids to do a little parade with there bikes skateboards wagons and decorate them for fun. The boys dont have bikes yet so it was the wagon that was decorated.

It was really fast but it was really fun and cute, I also added pop cans to make some noise :)

                                                             Elijah was ready to go

               Grandpa and Grandma Hagen were with us, they had to have Grandpa pull them.

 We added the baby in the mix. He didnt

want to ride in there with them but we had to get pictures.

And here are the rest of the kids in the parade. There were alot more that showed up right after I took this. It was a fun way to start the day. 

Isaiah 9 Months Old...well almost 10 months

I'm not sure if it is just me or every other mom out there, when you have a second child "mine being 3rd because of twins" but pretty much second child, you some how manage not to do as many pictures or updates as you did the first. I hope its not just me because I feel terrible. I focused so much on my twin boys when there were born tell now. My poor Isaiah has not had the same attention. So here it goes I will see everything I can remember.

He is almost 10 months old and he is a jabber box! He will get up in the middle of the night "2 in the morning" and just sit there and talk he will giggle and yell and I will lay there and listen too him with a big smile on my face because I got to wake up to cute baby talk then to crying. He is a very silly baby and will look at you and grab your face and squeal at it "he does that to the twins" and they love it.

He has gotten his first tooth finally, it felt like it took him forever to get it but I was enjoying his gummy smile. It looks like his second bottom too tooth is coming in it has not broke threw the skin but I can tell its coming.

He is rolling from his back to tummy, but for some reason he still cant figure out how to roll back. He gets really upset after a while so I have to help him. He has been doing it alot when I put him to bed so I have to go in there several times and roll him back over, poor guy cant get it figured out. There is still no crawling but he does move around on the floor. He is that same as Elijah was there both really lazy when it comes to crawling. Elijah almost just skipped crawling and walked. I think that is what Isaiah is going to do.

He loves to play with toys now. I have alot of them from the twins still that I kept for babies, he loves all the light up toys and the ones that make noise. I also noticed he loves cars as much as the boys do. Its crazy how much my kids LOVE there cars and trucks!

I took him to his 9 Month appointment and the poor baby had to get shots done just like every appointment. Last time he got a high fever and he would scream every time I would touch his legs to change him. Luckily this time he didn't get a fever and his legs were not as sore. His Dr/ said everything looked fine with him he is small still but that just runs in the family.

His stats were:
16 lbs 16 ounce  1%
28 inch  36%
Head: 88 %
his head is of course big like his brothers lol

They took a couple blood samples from the toes for iron :(

He is such a joy in the family and I hope he knows that! He lights up my life in many ways and is such a sweet boy. Love you monkey.

4th Swimming and BBQ

I know its late, but it gets a little busy sometimes.
We had a fun 4th. I went with my sister to her in-laws house for swimming and a BBQ with the boys. They did a lot better with the swimming this time around. They went right in no crying and they loved it and had fun. I just taking things one step at a time with them, and if they show me something different then I go with it and enjoy the change. They love playing with there cousin Lexi they are the 3 amigo's

Swimming playing and eating made it a perfect 4th. All the kids did really good. For some reason the babies pics didnt turn out that great, but he did really good too and slept most of the time. After we went home to watch my neighbors fireworks and then off to bed.

Rope Swing

I am loving spending time out side with the kiddos. Its fun warm and less mess to clean up at the end of the day :) we have been eating dinner out side almost every day and on the weekends will do breakfast and lunch sometimes. The highlight beside the new slide this week has been the rope swing they love it and have Finally gotten the hang of it.

Noah is my monkey he is really good at climbing and a pro at the rope swing. First they climb the ladder "there idea btw" then jump off and swing. Its very cute.

                                                                  Such a cheeser.

Elijahs turn.

He mostly goes once and hurry and lets go.

I don't know why he does that but he still can do it.
