Head Bands

So, Jayden loves to play with hair bands and put them in her hair, my hair and now starting putting them on her brothers too! The funny thing is that they don't care and actually don't take them off! So, I let them walk around with their head bands on.....

Fun Times

The boys love playing with spatulas, wooden spoons, measuring cups....sometimes I think they like those better than ACTUAL toys! I had to share a picture of Landon holding onto his wooden spoon and some other cute pictures too! Enjoy!

Future Champions

If you don't know already, Corey's family is BIG into wrestling. His mom still works at many wresting tournaments and always brings back some gifts for the kids. Last time she brought back these cute "Future Champions" of USA Wrestling outfits for the boys and also wrestling tatoos for the boys & Jayden. So the boys had their 1st tatoos ever! Here is a cute picture of them with Grandma LoLo (Lorraine).

Camping w/the Finns

We went camping about a month ago with our good friends, Andrea & Josh Finn. They have a daughter (Ava) the same age as Jayden and they get along great together! So, we actually left the boys with Grandpa & Grandma and just took Jayden with us, so she could have some quality time with her mommy and daddy. We had an AWESOME time! It was so much less work not having the boys with! :) But I did miss them a lot! This is our 2nd time camping with the Finns and we plan to make it an annual trip! Maybe next year we will bring the boys too.....

Jellystone Park

We went camping with my family at Jellystone Park last weekend. It was so much fun! The kids loved it! We went swimming in the pool, played in the sand and went swimming in the lake too! The weather was awesome, except for Sunday (it was raining), but that was okay, because we just packed up and headed back home. It was nice to get away for a few days.....but it's also nice to be back home. :) Here are some pictures that Kristen took while we were there. Enjoy!

Playdate with the triplets

Today the boys had a playdate with 3 beautiful, precious little girls - the Hartman triplets! They are only 3 months younger than the boys, so it was so much fun to see them play together. We didn't have any fights break out, but Tanya and I got a little dose of what it would be like to have quintuplets! It is going to be fun to watch them all grow up together! There will be many more playdates in the future!

One year old pictures

I just realized I never posted the boys' one year old pictures that Kristen took. They turned out awesome, even though it was tough keeping Peyton from putting rocks in his mouth!!

Cutest pictures!

I thought I would share some pictures my sister-in-law took of the kids a few months ago. She was helping me out with the kids, because Corey was gone all weekend watching the NFL Draft with his cousin. (exciting, huh??)

Northern WI State Fair

We brought the kids to the fair a few weeks ago and they had a blast! Jayden, Natalie and Ava went on tons of rides! We even brought the boys on their 1st ever fair ride! It was a so hot that day, but it was a lot of fun. Grandpa and Grandma came with us and so did Andrea, Josh, Ava and Natalie.

Peyton and Landon are 1 year old!

Today is Peyton and Landon's 1st birthday! I can't believe it has already been one year. They have grown so fast - I can hardly remember holding them in my arms in the hospital. Peyton started at 5 lb. 15 oz. and now weighs 21 lb. 13 oz! Landon started at 5 lb. 10 oz. and now weighs 19 lb. 13 oz! Landon may weigh 2 lbs. less, but he is taller than Peyton - and definitely is the bully of the two! They have so much fun playing together and chasing after their big sister. They already fight over toys, food, and especially their nuks! They haven't started walking yet, but both have taken a few steps by themselves and walk along furniture or pushing trucks or hanging onto their big sister's hands! They got a ton of toys for their birthday, now our house is even more of a toyland than it was before! And I think their big sister likes playing with them just as much as they do! Here are some pics from their party last Sunday. Enjoy!
