Long Time No Blog..

Well, so much has gone on that really deserves separate post but I am just gonna smash it all together!
*EJ, G, & EG spent a whole week with Pop & NeNa! Boo had to come home and regroup one night. After that he did well :). The monkeys had a blast and told me they wanted to move in with Pop & NeNa, seriously. NeNa took them to VBS and they LOVED it! I went to the closing program. It was super sweet! Emery Jai and Guice did an awesome job! They both love preforming and being on stage! I am so glad they got to make these wonderful memories with Pop & NeNa! I use to stay with my Granny & Papa the week of VBS too! I wouldn't trade those memories for the world! Granny use to give us rolled coins for offering so it would weigh down the bucket more:).
*The dragon is potty trained, FINALLY! We had started a couple of times and kinda dropped the ball on it. Totally my fault. NeNa started taking her to the potty and she was using it so well when she got home she just went with it! She wouldn't wear any of her panties so NeNa had to go buy her some. Seriously, she ran around all day bare bottomed until NeNa got off work and delivered new undies:)! So excited to just have one kiddos in diapers! Except for night time of course:).

Jump Zone!

The kiddos and I had an awesome playdate with my best bud and her little man! The weather is sooooo hot and it is only June! The park at this point is out of the question! We found a great alternative, JUMP ZONE! It is amazing how different my kiddos are. Their personality differences were in full force at the jump zone. Emery Jai was upset the moment we walked in because there was not a princes jump house. She was determined not to have fun and sulk about it. Because it wasn't exactly what she wanted she wasn't happy about anything! She refused to try any of the slides and didn't want to play. I insisted, rather sternly:), and she got over it and had a blast! Guice is all boy! He was so excited to see Batman! He took to the jump houses immediately and played hard the whole time we were there! Evergrace loved it and is completely fearless. If the big kids were doing it so was she! Although, she wasn't a fan of sharing with the other kids, no surprise there she is very possessive.
Huge pirate ship!

Happy 3 months Hollis Timothy!

Our precious gift is 3 months! We are head over heels in love with this chubby monkey! He is such a happy easy going little one! Hollis is...drum roll please......sleeping, in his OWN bed, ALL night long! Crazy town! I know I run the risk of him never doing it again by blogging it:). He has done it about 5 nights now. Honestly, at first I didn't know what to think! I text a few folks :). The first two nights I didn't sleep at all. Between changing my shirt and checking on him and waiting for him to wake up it was a couple of long nights! I've come around to the idea of a baby who sleeps all night, actually, it really rocks! NeNa says he is sleeping all night so he can see whats coming at him during the day:)! In other news, Hollis is such a smiley guy, he smiles all over! He all out laughs and is one of the sweetest sounds ever! Hollis is a talker. He has noticed his toes and tries to get them to his mouth. He really isn't taking his bink any more. I keep forgetting to give it to him. Hollis loves loves loves his bath and for good reason, he takes it with momma! He splashes and laughs! He loves the his brother and sisters. Hollis is super good about them holding him. He loves the moby wrap and the ring sling. Hollis likes tummy time and when he gets tired he just goes to sleep. He is a bit over his swing already. But I can't bring myself to pack it up. He is 100% breastfed and thriving on mommy milk! He hasn't been sick at all. I can't wait to see what our chunk weighs at his 4 m0nth check up! He is wearing 6-9 month clothing and a size 3 diaper.
What a beautiful baby boy! Let me at those toes!


I love this one, he looks so proud of his rolls:)!
