what a long couple weeks

First off I wanted to say Happy Late Birthday to My Beautiful best friends Aly and Kim!     

    

Their Birthdays are a few days apart and I managed to miss both of them!!! I want to blame my forgetfulness on my post pregnancy mush brain... but really there was no excuse!

 I am forgetting all sorts of things these days- I have a note pad by the door to remind me of stuff - Things like what to get at the store or even  to pick up Trey early on Wednesdays- you would think since every Wednesday is 1/2 day  and has been for two years I wouldn't have to write it down - But since having the baby I really am losing it- You hear Other Moms say that the post pregnancy short term memory loss is... short term- So cross your fingers for me!

The other week was art and music week at Treys school. He performed the sweetest little songs with his music class and made this beautiful piece of art- We are so proud of him!    

             

This last week boys were  super sick -They never get sick, so we  didn't exactly know what to do- Thank you internet! Trey got it first and like any great big brother shared is sickness with his lil bro- Vance got It bad- He had a fever for days! For all who know Vance well, you know that 6 minutes in one spot is amazing ... so 6 days  of  sleeping and watching movies  on the couch was very interesting- I would have loved to have cable this week! 

Trey was super sweet making sure Vancey had drinks and movies - But Star Wars and Indiana Jones were on repeat in my dvd player! I am very much over them now!  Thursday I was putting the baby down in my room and when I came out into the living room Treyton was reading to Vance- it was so sweet- It is really great having another reader in the house-                                                                     

But after all those germs Rivey didn't get sick at all!  (knock on wood)  He is doing so well-Every morning he gets so excited  so see his brothers he coos and babbles to them... my little baby is getting so big-   He loves the sound of his  own voice and  wants to be right in the middle of everything... 

                    

                 

I wonder where he gets that from! He is still the best sleeper ever!  I sorta didn't believe moms who said their babies slept thru the night. I mean I thought Vance slept well  cuz he only got up a few times... but never all night long-  I sometimes wake up and touch River just to make sure he is ok! 

He always is just sleeping away- I guess I will just enjoy it while it lasts!

I would love to see who is reading our silly lil blog so leave a comment if you get a chance! thanks:)

You kiss your mother with that mouth

We had  great mothers day over here!  The fog burned off just in time- We had a total of 17 people in our back yard! We felt so lucky to have all of them over- So thanks again everyone for yummy food and lovely conversation!

 

My beautiful sister and mama

those crazy cousins... Joe, Alec and Hannah                                                            

                                                                            

                                                    

out of the house... finally!

I have been getting a little cabin fever being at home with all the kids- So when my parents offered to watch the two bigger guys over night (since they were in town for mothers day)     

We jumped at the chance of hanging 

with our friends-  we got to go out to dinner and play bocce ball it is a silly game of throwing balls down a lane, trying to get closer to the little game ball than the other team.. I know I am still confused and I played for hours! but with baby in the front pack I seemed to be doing well:)

and my team won! we finished up the game with a group high five..

Which is always fun! 

                           

In the bar next to us they had karaoke I had the baby so we hung outside watching these terrible people trying to sing terrible songs And the terrible people dancing terribly-

  

(the gang all wanted to join) 

I realized at this point what I am missing staying in my jammies on the couch at home! So thanks mom and dad glad the kids were good for you!

All The Young Dudes

If I had a dollar for every time someone sees our crew and says  "boy you've got ur hands full"  I would be a millionaire!         

Sure they are crazy and full of energy but they have their sweet side too!         

          

It was Open House at Trey's school and we are so glad to hear Treyton is doing so well! Since Jeremy and I were such slackers .. we were a little worried:) No j/k we are so proud of our lil overachiever-  

His class spent all week on mothers day projects-    

they were all so sweet he made me  a pretty potted flower and a beautiful card and in the card it has these questions.... 

What's my favorite thing about my mom? he wrote... the way she tells me stories-

what is the funniest thing about your mom?  he wrote.... when she makes me laugh- and finally the last question... 

If you could give your mom anything... what would it be? he wrote.... A little girl:)     

I didn't make it that obvious I wanted a girl right;0

I laughed  so hard.. what a thoughtful thing to say:) I am so happy with the boys I wouldn't even know what to do with a girl now!  I am sure when he is old enough to have kids.. after college and grad school and law school and making partner and then finding a wonderful woman and marrying her..  he will give me that little girl!  but no pressure!

   Hope Everyone has  Happy Mothers day!!

My 3 sons

  I finally got all three of them in one place!

Take me out to the ball game!

As assistant coach on Trey's baseball team, Jeremy has many responsibilities.. he is usually third base coach and tells the out fielders to stop kicking dirt and not to throw their hats around during the game:)  This  last Saturday  Jeremy was filling in as coach... it was so adorable!  So good job Jeremy dealing with the squirrely 6 year olds all by yourself;)

                                                                     

Sunday Jeremy and Trey went down to little league day in San Francisco at the Giants statium - They got to go down on the field and see the "Big guys" throwing the ball around. There was a parade around the field of all the little leaguers... Being a Giant  himself, Trey was loving all of it!  Thanks to Kerry David for hooking us up with the tickets - the seats were awesome!

                                                 

He's growin up!

River is two months already!! I can't believe it has already been that long- We went to the baby doc this morn.. all is perfect!  He is 10 pounds and at 25 % all across the board  (for those who even know what that means;) I wonder if he will be tiny like Vance or football player like Trey was-Either way he is growing just fine! He is such a great baby- he is starting to get a lil personality! It is funny cuz I see how people can keep having more kids!  Slowly you forget the hard stuff and just look at that sweet lil face and think... maybe we could have just one more -  I think about all that love in my house- Then I think about all the other things...  I cant remember the last time I  took a shower, or had an uninterrupted phone conversation,  all  the cuts I have from stepping on legos and army guys! I kick myself and say what the heck am I thinking!!!!  We should just be happy for what we've got!    

 

Love

Last week my family lost someone very important ... We send our love to Nicole and Phil and Alec... we will miss you Dawnetta!

The Intro

Friends and Family~

   Since we are so busy
 these days...thought we would keep you updated on our fun filled family ! So here it goes...I am not Pregnant Anymore!!!! We had baby River - He was a  week and 1/2early (I appreciated that:)  He is smiling and getting fat - He is now almost 8 weeks and it has gone by soooo fast!  Vance and Trey are such great big bros. Vancey wants to talk about EVERY single thing the baby does or is gonna do ... he is in that phase of  narrating our whole day... I call him Sir Talks A Lot! He is so ready for pre school and will be going in the fall. Treyton is in baseball on the Giants (yay) and he is too cute. He loves 1st grade  even though he is counting down til summer break:) The boys will both be busy this summer with swim class and anything else I can stick them in so they can keep busy so they or really  ( I ) can have a good summer.

 Jeremy just turned 30!  Somehow I got it together enough to plan a little get together with most of his old school friends at a brewery  here in SC. I surprised him with the guest list so you should have seen his face when some friends he hadn't seen in  years walked up.  Thanks to my helpful father in law Jack for watching the big boys and hannah and Joe~ The baby got to join the party via  Baby Bjorn...   
As for me well - I feel I've got this three children thing down! Well  some days I do.I am getting great sleep.. thanks to a ultra sleepy head baby;) So I can actually say I am not totally insane... just borderline! So hooray for me!I am starting to feel like at the end of Doogie Howser with my blogging, so that is all for today. I dont have a clever ending so bye and thanks for reading. check back for updates!!!!!Much love!!!
