Father's Day

We dressed the boys up and took them to daddy's work and to get the stitches out of his finger. As I was dressing Kolton, I realised that Kyler has a similar outfit and talked him into putting it on to match his brudder.

Kyler was so excited to take their picture too:

For Father's Day, we got together with Chris' brother and his family and went to the beach.

This morning I was getting Kolton laughing and cooing at me:

My boys snuggling... LOVE!!:

Kolton did this pose while he was still cooking:

My handsome cookie monster:

I love that Kyler is all about his brudder:

Kyler got his haircut and when she was done she asked him if he wanted spikes... his reply:

Kolton Takes a Swim

Father / Son bonding time:

 The ring around the sun:

Kolton going for his first swim!:

Check out his swim...pants?  HA!  They fit in the waist but long in legs:

He wasn't so sure at first:

Then decided it wasn't so bad and he'd take a nap:

Cagen loves his baby cousin. He was so good with him:

Brotherly Love

I have been really enjoying my Maternity Leave. I have been keeping Kyler home to spend time with Kolton and me before they both go to "school" (daycare) and I go back to work.

My baby boy turned 5 weeks old:

 Superman (as he called himself).  The hat he made at daycare a few weeks ago; the cape is from his 2nd Halloween vampire costume and to top it off Oscar the Grouch shirt:

Brothers spending quality time together... LOVE them: 

I am SO proud that Kyler LOVES his baby brother and is excited that he's with us.  He always wants to kiss him or hold him or help change his diaper, give him a bath, give him his paci (pacifier) or whatever the case may be. He also makes sure to give him a kiss each night before going to bed.  Makes Mommy's heart a happy heart.

Have I mentioned:  I LOVE these two?!:

It is so cute when baby's sleep with their butts in the air.  I just want to crawl in there and snuggle him:

Kyler and I got into some painting projects while Kolton was taking a nap last week.  Kyler was painting a miniature bird house:

Morning snuggle time and kisses:

Kyler showing off his muscles:

Kolton showing off his sleeping muscles (HA!):

Cheeeeese!:

These two completely have my heart!:

 

Daddy sliced the tip of his finger one day at work and had to get stitches...they even stitched through the nail!:

This picture makes my stomach churn and my skin crawl Every time I look at it.  He ended up with 10 stitches to save his tip from coming off: 

Mr. Kolton smiling up a storm: 

Mr. Kyler wanted his close up smiling too ;-D

Morning family snuggle time.. that's my boys!:

Happy One Month

Happy 1 Month Old Mr. Kolton:

 

   

My Loves

The boys and I have just been hanging out enjoying our time together.  Monday Chris and I took the boys to the park.  Kyler and Daddy flew a kite; played football and baseball; Kolton relaxed in the shade and then we headed over to the swings and trees to climb.

The boys and me riding the dinosaur:

Climbing the tree:

Mr. Handsome wearing brothers swing mobile as a hat...silly boy:

Wednesday, Kady wasn't feeling right and just laid in this one spot:

Turns out she had a stroke. We had to put her down as she was not able to stand without falling over.  Here's Chris telling her good-bye: 

Yesterday we laid her to rest next to her brother and sisters...so peaceful and now they are all together:

 Afterwards, we went to dinner and Kyler is all about his Papa Pat!:

Mr. Lil Handsome.... completely stole my heart!:
