We have no more infants in the house!! Only boys!!!! I cant believe where the time has gone and that all my boys are so big!
Austin celebrated his first birthday this weekend with much support from his older brothers. Braydon and Caleb were so excited they had a count down from 10days out! When the big day arrived they were eager to help set up, put juice boxes away, help make veggie platters and so much more. Just about the time the kids were about to arrive B and Caleb went out front to wait for them. Braydon somehow convinced Caleb to sit in the bench under our big front window and play catch with golf balls.
As you can imagine it didn't take long (the first golf ball thrown) for a golf ball to go right through the front window! The windows are old single pane and the amount of shatter was IMPRESSIVE! Balloons on the wall pooped, the couch was covered, the floor shown as if we had spilled a bottle of glitter. 20min of vacuuming while people showed up and we were back up and running! After that the party took off without a hitch! The boys had a blast!!!
Since then the boys have been playing with all the new toys! The biggest hit was a pull behind dog they have named Arffy. He now has his own dog bed, gets walked more than our dogs could dream of and gets pet constantly (it doesn't even have fur just plastic). The other big hit was a bathtub boat that is surprisingly similar to what Rob had as a kid! A captain, boat, fishing pole, life saver etc.
We had a new and disgusting experience with Austin this AM. He was crawling around and I noticed a small black ball in his mouth (who knows where these things come from was my thought) so I make it over to him, fish it out and examine, decipher its origins and see which of the older boys was gonna get an ear full for leaving small toys around. As I look close I am confused, I push on it ....it kinda cracks....and then POW! the stench!!! It was immediately clear that he had been sucking on a dingle berry (from a dog of course)!!!! DISGUSTING!!!!!!!! After choking down the vomit in my throat, everything/everyone got scrubbed! GROSSS!!!1
So this is what living with 4boys is like...broken windows and poop!

Sports!
Hey fam and friends. Hope this finds all of you well. Life in Scottsdale is at its peak right now! We are enjoying 75degree weather almost everyday and it is amazing!! Just like the weather suggests the boys have been outside non-stop! I love it. It makes me sooo happy to see them playing together, pulling sports equipment out of the garage, riding bikes, coloring with sidewalk chalk etc. Good times all around here in AZ. We are about to get some visitors from Texas and California, we are so looking forward to that!
With two birthdays coming up this month and the kids growing like weeds there is no time to waste!
Austin is officially walking more than crawling! He also got his car seat turned around so we now have three boys across the back all with their cute faces in my rearview mirror! Love looking back and seeing them all.
Though he is not talking yet I SWEAR he is mimicking me. He makes the attempt to say "Thank You", "ByeBye" and "all done" every time he hears one of the phrases. He will be running and talking in no time.
Caleb is now on the soccer team as well!!! Horray! We had to wait to see if there would be anymore registrations this season but since we have a small team and he was interested here we are! He loves it! As you can see by the pics he is one of the two cutest boys on the team (B being the other)! Rob got them both ready for their game this morning and everyone was excited!! I am just not sure who was more excited Rob or the boys? The cutest part of it all was that the jersey # was tucked half way into the back of their shorts cause the shirts are so big :) gotta love it! Caleb is still loving school and loves having his "own" friends!
Braydon is doing great. Soccer, school and soon to be Karate he is busy! He is a determined little boy! He fights tooth and nail to get the ball on the soccer field and at school his progress report showed that he has mastered everything that he was needing to work on in the beginning of the year.
The boys play so well together, Rob and I love watching and listening to their conversations. We are the luckiest parents in the world!
