My baby got a tooth today....

Today I made a discovery.... my baby boy got his first tooth!! It is the bottom right one and I am totally shocked! You should understand that my other two boys have not gotten a single tooth until right before their first birthdays... and you see Noah is only 6 months 3 weeks old! He does not even eat baby food yet and he has a tooth! I just can't believe how fast this last baby is growing up. God is so amazing to bless me with the most amazing boys anyone could ever ask for.... truly they are. While some days can be chaotic most of the time I am truly honored to be their mom. So little by little I think my shock is giving way to sadness... that he is really going to get bigger and grow up and not be a baby anymore. But I am excited to see what God is going to do in their lives!

Mojave Narrows...







We had a really nice time yesterday... we went to Mojave Narrows with the Kulhs and got to hang out and meet Wendi's sister and her family! Wow do they look just alike! LOL... anyway, the kids had a great time. I was not going to let them get into the water but Jake really wanted to so trying to be more layed back I agreed! He had a blast running in and out of the water.. I did not get any good shots because Noah was crying at this time so I missed the water shots... but I got Jake playing Star Wars (what new right??) and Carter eating his Oreo..
Carter was not in a playing mood yesterday... not sure if he was just overwhelmed by the bigger kids or not feeling perfect. Anyway, he hung out with me and Noah most of the day which was fun.
On the way out of the Park Jake asked to stop and see the Camel.. so we did... and the Camel as you can see.... saw us too!! LOL!! What a good day... we missed Daddy though.. he had to work.. ya I know on Venteran's Day... STINK!

Pictures from the last couple of days...

What an amazingly weirdly amazing day!!

LOL... anyway, I have been wanting to clean out our play room for some time now but it is such a SCARY task to undertake that it has been getting worse and worse for months now. This weekend Ricky built me a storage unit that I could store boxes of toys in and since he finished it so quickly I wanted to get my end done fast too. So today I took the entire play room apart. Went through every single toy... gave lots away, threw some away, and labeled and stored the rest of them in the new unit. I then took everything out of the entertainment center in the play room, dusted and re-arranged it all, took the small couch out and sent that over to my moms for the guest bedroom, and cleaned off the the piano...all with two little people wanting to touch and play with all the toys I was trying to clean!!
I took some pictures of the aftermath so you could see how wonderful it turned out but since its 1:30am I might wait until tomorrow to upload and show them.
Tomorrow (rather today.... ) I am going to take the boys to the park with some other families... since its Veteran's Day all the daddies will be off.. but Ricky has to work... how does a military contracted company who is run by a former Navy Seal not observe Veteran's Day??? Ug!!!
