Costco

Our family is addicted to Costco .. Sean got the ball rolling on this before we had kids, and now continues the boys in the tradition. Yesterday when I got them up from their naps, I asked them if they wanted to go with Daddy to Costco. (they do this often as you will see by Jack's answer)... Jack said "Yes.. I need a sample."

Still no pictures...

Caroline is 1!

She is officially 1 (as of two days ago).. And birthday pictures to come.. still having technical issues, and then, as predicted by me.. we went to one week of school and all got sick, so we've been down for the week. But, on the mend now! We did celebrate her birthday though, with grandparents and Lori, pizza and some cupcakes. She got a shopping cart, a stroller, a purse, an ice cream truck, some outfits, a longhorn cheerleading outfit, and a little cd player. As of right now, the boys are definitely more interested in her gifts than she is! (but, that was part of my plan)!
She is starting to walk, takes about 4 steps at a time, and is very proud.. she practices all the time. I predict that within the next week or so, she will be off and running! Still eating everything in sight and switched to milk like the champ that she is. Nothing phases this child!
She loves to dance and clap her hands. She says some words here and there, but definitely says outside! This is a word used frequently in our house (a.k.a. -- "Boys, go outside!).. so it's not surprising she picked it up..
She "jabbers" all the time though. Still loves her brothers and wants to do anything they do, much to their dismay. She's so tough, they will knock her down and she goes right back for more!
She is the sweetest little baby and I'm sad she's growing up. Caroline fills us with so much joy and just perfectly completed our family! Happy birthday sweetheart!
Love, mommy

technical issues

I realize it's been about six weeks since we posted, but we are having technical issues. Our camera won't load pictures onto our computer right now. And I do realize that nobody actually wants to just read a blog, they want to see pictures of the kiddos.
But, we are all doing great. I survived the summer and the boys started school Monday. They exceeded all my expectations (of course we have to get through tomorrow as well, so we'll see!)
I think they will really love it, once it becomes routine. We had a trip to the hill country which was very fun and got a great new patio, which we LOVE!!
Hopefully we'll fix our issues soon because some sweet little girl I know has a birthday in one week! Can't believe it..
