Pumpkin Patch 2017

Our annual pumpkin patch adventure was a hit.  The kids absolutely had a blast.  I think their favorite activity was the corn maze.  We told the kids to pick a small pumpkin (because you pay by the pound), and that we would get a big carving pumpkin from Sam's Club.  Millie picked the cutest little pumpkin, Haisley picked one that was just the perfect size for her, and Benton picked the biggest pumpkin in the patch.  We told them they could only get a pumpkin that they could carry themselves.  Watching Benton trying to get his pumpkin out of the patch was hilarious!! 

Rocket Run Fun

Haisley is LOVING school now.  It was a big adjustment for Haisley initially, but she is doing wonderfully now!  Dean Road does a Rocket Run Fundraiser...the kids raise money and then they run in the Rocket Run.  Haisley raised $109 and ran sooo well!  We are so proud of this sweet angel bug!

Benton is 4!!!

My sweet, precious Benton is 4!!  How can it be!!??  Benton is wild (to say the least), all boy, adventurous, loves being outside, loves climbing trees, loves talking loud with no regard for anyone trying to nap, and LOVES his momma!  The last thing is my favorite!!  Some updates on my angel bug...
Teeth:  All the way up to his 2 year molars are in!
Sleeping:  Benton doesn't take naps anymore, but goes to bed between 6:30-7 and sleeps until about 5 every morning.  He loves getting in bed with me in the morning and cuddling me.  I love it too! 
Size:  He is a big one! Biggest of my 3 babies for sure!  I'm not sure of his exact stats, we go to the doctor on Monday and I will update.  He wears size 4 in clothes and size 10/11 in shoes. 
Benton is LOVING school this year and learning so much! 
Foods:  Benton loves strawberries, sausage, apples, go-gurt, crackers, and boiled peanuts.  He does not like bread, cheese, or grapes. 

Camille's 2 Year Celebration

We didn't have a big 2 year party for any of our babies.  We still wanted to celebrate our baby!  We went to eat Mexian with our friends and Camille LOVED it!  She had cupcakes and balloons and her bestie, Jake, there! 

Camille is 2

This is ALMOST more than my momma heart can bear.  My oldest started kindergarten and now my baby is 2.  It's all fun and games when you think time is flying by when you just have one kid.  It is a whole other thing when you have 3 kids, and the baby turns 2.  I'm wondering where the time went and trying to soak up every single moment.  All too soon, my 2 year old will also be in kindergarten (excuse me while I go cry :/ ).  So, with all that said, some updates on my sweet, funny, spunky little one....
Teeth:  No 2 year molars yet.
Talking:  Camille is talking up a storm.  Her little voice is beyond precious, and I love to hear her.  She is starting to say short sentences now.
Tricks:  Camille knows most of her colors and we are working on her knowing that her name starts with a "c".  She holds a crayon the correct way and LOVES coloring.  She also loves hanging with the big kids and adores baby dolls.  She rocks baby dolls, feeds them, puts them to bed, shhes them.  SO. STINKING.  CUTE!  I'd say that is her favorite thing to do!  She is completely ready to be potty trained. I am not.  I am not ready to give up the cute bubbles that snap at the bottom.  We got her little potty out and she has peed and pooped on it every time her diaper is off.  I know it is time, but I'm putting it off.
Eating:  If I'm being real, she doesn't eat as healthfully as the other babies.  She does love almonds, grapes, apples, cheese sticks, eggs, pancakes, sausage, and chicken.
Size:  We go to the doctor next week, so I'll know specifics then.  She is in a size 5 shoe, 18-24 month clothes, and size 5 diaper.
My sweet Camille.  You are an absolute delight.  You are sweet, stubborn, precious, funny, smart, adorable, enduring, and an absolute joy.  You are the most perfect ending to our family.  We love you more than you will ever know!  I can't wait to see the plans that the Lord has for you!
