You might think I have traded all my children for this one beautiful baby. Not really but he is the only one that will sit still long enough to photograph, and with the holidays and my arms full I have been terrible about taking pictures of anyone.
We thought we better document our cloning project to see if there were flaws. We have not been able to clone the personalities and temperments but we are doing pretty good on the appearance. 
This little guy is so lucky to have so many big brothers that adore and love him so much. He is getting constant love pets on the head and little kisses. It has been fun watching the boys be so excited about the baby. Today they took turns learning how to change a diaper. 
Don't you love when you accidently get one of those shots you just love. I was trying to take a picture of this guy, when he is on the constant move you never know what you will get, but I love this one.
I let the boys take some silly shot with the exchange of giving me some nice ones too. I think we ended up with more silly ones than nice. Imagine that!
Sometimes I just want to print pictures like this for their photo albums, because we see these faces more than the picture perfect smiles. The only way I could get him to cooperate in taking a picture was to have him make funny faces and then a good face for me. I think with the new baby, and grandma and grandpa in town his little life is out of sorts. What a goof ball!
Oh boy! Time is flying. Baby G is now two weeks old. I am healing quickly and feeling pretty good. I am still trying to take it easy so we can move in a forward direction. I still enjoy just looking at this sweet little boy.
We are so happy to welcome baby Grant into our home. We could not have asked for a better birth experience than with this one. After a non-eventful pregnancy, we had a non-eventful birth. We have been so blessed throughout this entire experience. The boys have welcomed him with love and excitement. I am now healing from surgery and just loving this beautiful boy.
We thought we would let the kids have a little fun for FHE and paint pumpkins.....at least one pumpkin. The pumpkin patch is ripe and we are ready Friday is the big day and we will get to meet this little pumpkin. After we took the picture I went and washed it all off, Brycen was so disappointed, he wanted to keep seeing it, just to make sure, and then asked, why??? Pretty spooky if you ask me. Being this big this time of year, you may as well take advantage and have a little fun!
We are getting so close it is hard to believe we have finally made it to this point. After starting this process about 3 years ago, we are going to finally meet this little gift from God.
All he was really worried about was having a pinata for his birthday. After seeing the determination in this kids face to dismantle the thing it is a little troubling. He was dressed a little on the villian side for a super hero day.
I am so glad the kids wore the capes most of the party. It was so cute to see them all running around .
I finally finished this obsession I had. You know when your pregnant and you hit a nesting stage. Well I was in the garage going through some things and came across a bag of items I purchased to make one of these fab calendars like my sister has. Well the obsession began and I finally finished the thing one day into October. The kids love it and are so anxious to see what the next day will bring. I must say it kept them quietly coloring this morning too. Thanks Jan. I think I can relax now and get ready for this baby to come.
WOW, how time flies. I am a little late on my post but I still wanted to remember how quickly this young man has grown.
Now that the kids are in school I thought I better at least post another picture. It amazes me how fast they grow up.
After cutting out a "D" for the dance shop, I decided I liked the look of barn wood better than the project I was working on.
This is the reason you should not drive right after you have surgery. We got a call tonight from the sheriffs department saying our office has been run into and the window has been compromised. I did end up talking to the lady when I saw the tow truck across the street. She really just came from surgery to pick up her meds at walgreens and while waiting went to park in our lot and up over the curb she went right into the building. 
Major accomplishments this summer. Spencer is standing up on boogie board and surf board.
Kaleb out on the boogie board with Spencer. Enjoys watching the little spray.
Brycen is pedaling on his own. Watching where he goes is the next big test.
Hope we don't gross anyone out! Amazingly after 9 years of life with boys, we made our first visit to the ER. Running at grandma's with slippery socks and the corner of the island, resulted in a three staples. The hardest part of the whole trip was when they made him put his hands down and he couldn't play with his hair. I have never had such a pleasant trip to an emergency room as we did at this place.
Brycen comes running into the house the other day.... "Mom, Mom, Mom....We are the luckiest, cause we have all the dandelions!"
