5 boys today and our activities earlier in the week...

Today was a busy day with these five sweet and active boys...

From morning till evening, I experienced what everyday life is like with a 6 mos old, 2 year old, 3 year old, 6 year old and 9 year old BOY!!! I couldn't help but smile as I snapped these pictures...you should see some of the outakes! ha ha!

The downstairs play area looked like this all day. On every level of our home you could walk around every 20 minutes to find a different car, ball, tool, and action figure.
Do you see several of the boys in this picture below? Running, crawling, somersaulting, driving...aaahhh! And I LOVED IT!!! Believe it or not, this was the relaxing part about my day. They all really are such sweet guys and made this mama laugh over quite a few of their antics.

And earlier in my week....

I snapped a picture of my now 6 month old (can it really be that Cooper was born a half year ago?! No, surely not!) I chose to share this picture because just about every one I've posted shows his huge, captivating grin and I think this one is extra sweet. :)

Mater was making quite a few rescues on Parker's highway...


Enjoyed a relaxing movie night in between studies with our Small Group. "Fireproof" was the movie of choice and a hit as usual. Kathryn baked her yummy cookies and that made the night twice as nice! Parker felt special that he got to enjoy a little popcorn and a cookie just before bedtime. :)

Ok, so I couldn't resist the happy grin after all...

6 month stats:
Weight: 18 lbs, 14 oz (75%)
Length: 28 1/4" (96%)

We've caught these two like this a few times lately...
After Parker runs in our room to wake me up in the morning, he'll run in to Cooper's room to talk to him if he's awake. He'll just climb right in and make himself at home. Sweet, patient Cooper. He loves his big brother so much ;)

And saying farewell one last time to this sweet family...we'll miss you guys so much and wish you the best in Chicago!!

Missing my hubby and waiting for his last call of the day...it's time to head to bed now. I think I might actually pass out before my head actually hits the pillow tonight.

HI, I just happened to come across you blog as it was "The Next Blog" behind mine which I never click but I did today. I thought my Mom had her hands full with me and my two brothers (each of us a year apart). My hat is off to you with all those boys. I know they can be a handful! My dad had ten brothers (no sisters) and my Mom was always afraid she would have THAT many kids in the house so she often told us the story that she informed my dad after my youngest brother was born "NO MORE!" She might have changed her mind if she saw your boys. :) NIce music on your blog too.
