Riley turns four

Riley turned 4 a month ago and I find it hard to believe that I have a child that age. He is a ball of energy who is all boy. He loves to play outside and get dirty, build with legos, play with monster trucks (or really any truck), have cookies and milk every night with daddy, and anything else that involves being with his dad. He can be a very sweet big brother to his younger siblings and usually enjoys playing with Weston. He likes to hold Chloe and does really well with her. 

We are so blessed to have him in our family.

Chloe update

These past four months since Chloe was born have seemed to fly by even faster than normal. Although, in a way it seems like she has always been with us. She is our little sweetheart and we all adore her.

She has developed so much in four months and just gotten chunkier. She can now roll both ways but she prefers to roll half way and scoot herself around that way. She can sit up quite well in her bumbo seat. 

She loves to eat her toes... and can get her paci in and out of her mouth. She loves to suck on her fingers too and usually prefers them over a paci. She's still sleeping great at night!

 She seems to be very interested in food but mommy is not interested in her starting that for a little while yet. The boys love when they get her laughing at them. She has a contagious smile that she will flash at anyone.

This was on her actual 4 month birthday. We were out of town so we had to wait on her "official" picture. She is one loved and spoiled little girl!

Weston turns two

Baby Weston isn't so much a baby anymore. ;( He is a rascally little two year old who loves to copy everything his big brother does but still loves to snuggle. He likes to find Chloe in my bed in the morning and go snuggle with her. 

This kid talks a LOT. He fully communicates with us and sometimes still surprises me with some of the things he says. He has started wanting to pray sometimes when we eat, which is really sweet. Before he goes to bed he requests "Jesus Loves Me" at least once. He can come up with a long bedtime routine!

Weston likes turtles so he was very pleased with his cake!

The boys had the idea on their own to read to Chloe one morning. It was so sweet!

Father's Day 2016 -- these kiddos are blessed with a very loving daddy who is teaching the boys to be little men and already talks about what he will do to boys who come for Chloe. :) We had a very relaxing day letting the boys play in the pool and we sat outside and talked all morning. Then Matt grilled some amazing food for dinner!

Life has been extremely busy since Miss Chloe joined our family but since I have more time sitting these days I'm going to try to be faithful at blogging.

Chloe Bliss

Chloe has now been with us for almost 2 months. Looking back at these pictures makes me realize how fast she is growing. The boys are still so in love with her and haven't lost their fascination with her. If she's on the floor she's pretty much never alone. If she's in her bed, she may or may not be alone. :) They give her lots of hugs and kisses and ask to hold her throughout the day.

We are thankful that everything went well and labor was quick.

It always makes my heart skip a beat to see Matt holding his baby for the first time. He is so amazing and always helps get me through labor. Seriously I can't imagine doing it without him!

She surprised me by coming 12 days early. I thought she would come early but didn't expect it quite that early. 

                                                   

She weighed 6lbs. 8oz. and was 19" long. 

They both wanted to watch daddy take care of baby Chloe's diaper. :) I couldn't decide if I liked color or black and white better so I posted both.

Our sweet little angel. She has been such a good baby! I think she sleeps the best out of my children.

Weston turns two!

My baby boy turned 2 today! He is such a little sweetheart. He is a very rascally little boy who I think gets into more trouble than his big brother did at this age. :) He has given me many heart attacks! I love his relationship with Riley. Tonight I went in their room to check on them, after they had been put to bed, and they were sitting in Riley's bed reading books. He wants to do everything his brother does and for the most part they get along really well. When they do fight Weston can definitely hold his own. He also is so in love with Chloe. He loves to hold her and give her hugs and kisses. He has gotten into copying people. You will be carrying on a conversation with someone and Weston will be repeating what you say.

 Were getting these boys ready to do some fishing this summer.

 He loved his "tootle" cake. We have a turtle that comes through our yard a lot so he's gotten in to turtles.

I love this little boy so much and I didn't want to see the day end because he is now a year older.
