crazy wet hair

the boys HATE getting their hair washed...like scream out loud like crazy hate it. You can bust an eardrum going toward their hair with a cup of water. But, it has to be done, and at least once it is over, they have fun and crazy bath hair. 

Graham looks like he has been traumatized from his hair washing. 

And too much sun (see his arms? mine looked like that too!)

It was so cute....Bennett kept looking for me in this mirror in the tub. He looked away while I got a photo, but it was still cute.

What a sad little shark. He loved this towel for a minute, then wasn't a fan, then he was back to loving it. He ended up running around upstairs with it on. But what a sad little shark to start out!

all my boys

We always seem to end up on the same couch together...or the same 10 foot spot together. You can tell we are used to a smaller house; we still tend to spend all our time on top of each other. I hear that changes once they get bigger, so for know, I will take it. The boys all ended up together and thankfully, I was lucky enough to get a few photos. It took about 40 pictures to get a few good ones, but totally worth it!

Oh, how these make my heart happy!

Graham had a "bubble" in his mouth

starting to get silly

even siller...

and just about done sitting still. Weirdly, they all seem to have on the color green.

These boys make everyday a challenge and a blessing. I heart them majorly.

watering the dirt

Now that we have a yard, we get to play in it, or the dirt that is in it. We have about half grass/weeds and half dirt. They are done with a house on the right, and almost done with the house on the left. Remember the flowers we got? Graham and I went outside to get them planted, and yes, this time, Graham made sure they had water. And he watered just about everything that afternoon. The grass, the dirt, the tree, me, himself; it was a lot of fun and super hot. 

we planted these seed bombs that we got at KJ wedding....we are waiting to see what pops up! Graham got to throw them in the trench I made. Fingers crossed something fun pops up....it is terrible dirt. 

elliott's sly smile

He started to really get into smiling right before he was 2 months. He loves looking at faces and watching his brothers!

this kid is taking it all in. He watched his brothers non stop and is absorbing all that they do. We are going to have our hands full with this group. 

love these smiles!

lowes tractors

Get ready for blog posts people....I have time, the kids are asleep, and a drink in my hand.
Catching up is fun to do!

We took advantage of a beautiful weekend morning to get some flowers at lowes. And, we always get a change to ride on the tractors, and this lovely flatbed cart. 

We picked out super colorful flowers, got home and planted them, forgot to water them on a super hot and sunny day, and they all died. whoops...don't worry, we got more!

Bennett really got a change to ride on them this summer....last summer we were moving around a bit so we didn't get a chance. 

Thank goodness they only put a few out on display, otherwise, we would be there all day!

survival

ugh....no posting due to survival mode taking over at our house.
3 little ones are proving to be no match for 2 parents. What we were thinking! Our work schedules are crazy and when not working, we are making it work with 3 very demanding, but adorable little boys! I hope to be posting soon. And yeah for us, they ALL were asleep in their own beds by 10 (Elliott proved to be difficult)!!!! We will see how long it lasts....parents need some serious sleep people!
