Announcements are complete

This is what the boys have been helping me with these past few days....addressing and stamping envelopes for Hudson's announcements!! We finished them today and they are all in the mail!! Yeah - I am so glad to have that checked off my list. Couldn't have done it without these two awesome helpers.

This little piggy went to market

We got pigs...we will be raising these three in the barn until November and then butchering them with our neighbors....we named them bacon, sausage and ham.

Tanner on a tractor

This is about as close to heaven as it gets for little Tan Man...he just LOVES tractors!! Tate, Austin and Tanner spent the day with some freinds of ours and Tanner got to hang out on the tractor. He even went for a tractor ride with Lincoln...

I LOVE the lighting on this picture, Lisa takes amazing pictures!!

Thanks for keeping the 3 boys and letting them play, it was a day they will talk about for a long time!!

Happy Birthday Avery!!

Happy Birthday Sugar.....we love you and miss you so much -

but we know you are perfect and with Jesus!!

We will see you when we are called home as well.

Hugs and kisses!!

Dad and mom, Tate, Austin, Tanner and Hudson

Diaper cake

A friend of mine (who also has 4 boys) gave me this awesome diaper cake!! She figured we must have enough stuff for boys...why not give us diapers. It seems you can never have enough diapers. we have enjoyed it so much, but the boys are really wanting to take it apart. I wanted to get a quick picture before it got completely disassembled.

First bath for Hudson

Hudson is 1 week old today and so we celebrated with a bath...I remember the first bath I gave Tanner - wow, he screamed and screamed and screamed. Hudson didn't make a peep, I think he actually enjoyed it. I love to see the different personalities (even when they are so young).

Tate and Austin holding Hudson

Tate and Austin just love their new brother. It is so nice to have a few extra set of hands to hold Hudson so I can do a few things. Carol, Rob's mom, stayed with us on Friday night and Saturday night and has been SO VERY helpful!! I am hoping to be able to manage on my own - but it has been so wonderful having her around!!
