Reed

It has been requested that I post some pictures of Reed, the poor thing kind of gets lost in the shuffle. I do take pictures of him but I don't think I tend to post him because he's always doing the same thing in every picture! Reed is 10 weeks tomorrow and is an amazing baby, he is so good and very happy. He is really smiling a lot and really starting to engage with us, he also thinks his big brothers are very funny (uh oh!). Oh well, here is an entire post just for Reed.

Vermont

On Saturday night we went up to Burlington, VT for a night with Amy, Kevin and Henry just for a quick getaway. The boys had a lot of fun swimming at the hotel and the next day walking around Burlington and going to a museum. Here are some pictures from the weekend.

Cole has zero fear of the water, which I'm not sure if this is a good thing or bad thing?!
We tried really hard to get a picture of all 4 boys at the poolside but this is the best we could do.

Cole giving me a quick wave after a big jump.

All of the boys in the hot tub!

A family picture on the sun deck outside of the second floor of the museum. This overlooked Lake Champlain, it was really beautiful. The sun was right in our eyes so Cole wouldn't turn around.

The boys taking in the view.

Inside the museum, the boys in a treasure chest inside the pirate ship.

Luke and Cole inside the wind tunnel. The winds blew up to 78 mph inside there to simulate being in a hurricane, Cole loved it and went in numerous times!

Fun With Rice Krispies!

Henry started back last Tuesday and now that he is walking him and Cole are up to no good. I'm sure Cole deserves most of the credit for this one but I can assure you Henry was more than happy to partake in the action. I came into the family room the other day after putting the baby down for a nap and this is what I found. Yes that is or was a full box of Rice Krispies dumped all over my carpet and a 1 and 2 year old in their glory gobbling them up!

Luke joined in for the "clean up"!

Henry, who thought this was a great idea (he LOVES food), couldn't quite understand why Auntie would want to vacuum the rest of the mess instead of letting him eat them! This was the aftermath of the Rice Krispies Fun, poor Henry! I'm sure I'm in for a lot worse in the years to come with all of these boys.

Author's Night

A couple of weeks ago Jack had Author's Night at school. They divided the class in half and the kids got to read their stories that they have been working on to their families.

Jack in the chair listening to the comments and questions about his story.

Jack and his teacher and half of his class.

Jack and Luke. Luke came with me to author's night and it was a good thing because Jack dedicated his book to Luke and then gave it to him at the end of the night (very sweet I know, trust me it doesn't last long!)

Preschool's Year End!

Luke had a few fun events to wrap up this year of preschool. It started out with field day and ended with a year end performance.

Here are both 3 year old classes on field day posing with their beach balls and sunglasses, they were very cute.

Cousin Fun!

A couple of Sundays ago Bryan had to work and Jack and Luke went fishing with Papa so Henry came over to play with Cole. The boys had a lot of fun playing outside, here are some pictures of their fun with the water table.

Helping Amy get the table cleaned out.
Cole showed Henry no mercy when it came to a water fight! Luckily Henry is a good sport and doesn't mind freezing cold water in the face!

Cole had to be told repeatedly that it is not a pool and that you do not get into the table.

Here's a cute shot of Henry in his suit! They had a lot of fun and I'm sure this is the first of many fun days these two will have together.

Jack Turns 7!!

I can't believe I'm so far behind on my blogging, I have a lot of pictures to post and will try and do so over the next few days. Jack turned 7 on the 26th of May, we can't believe how big he has gotten so fast! Here are a few pics from his little party with the family.


The birthday boy awaiting his birthday cupcakes.

It wouldn't be a party without a messy baby in the high chair! Henry gladly filled that position!

Jack did a great job reading all of his cards.

He was very excited about the Lego Star Wars game that he has been wanting for the Wii, I think he has already beat it as well.

Jack had a great day and I know he is very thankful for everyone who shared in his special day!
