Well the blog is finally working again! I know its been awhile since I've posted so here's an update! Ben had rotations so we stayed in Tennessee for the holidays! It was our very first Christmas with just our family. We missed our families very much but we also enjoyed having our own Christmas and starting our own traditions with our kids! Kayson and Cade got TONS of legos and this is one of Kayson's many creations! He has a huge imagination when it comes to building legos. He builds some pretty cool stuff! Kayson is reading really well and doing great in school! Cade is loving spending time with Griffin all day every day. He does anything I need and takes such sweet care of Griff. He is always singing to him and kissing his hands. He is a funny kid. He comes up with some pretty funny stuff! He talks like a southerner! He says aint all the time! Griff is SUPER hyper and wild. He is all over the place and he can't even crawl yet. He never holds still, will not cuddle or snuggle at all, and he cries all the time if I'm not holding him! However if I'm holding him he's super happy! It makes Ben so mad. Hell be crying with Ben and as soon as I take him he stops crying and turns and looks at Ben with a big grin on his face! Ben hates it! I can't leave him at all with a baby sitter or even with Ben. I've left him twice with Ben and both times he was screaming so hard by the time I got home he was hyperventilating. But I love that kid to death! To me he is the sweetest little guy. He is a tease. He loves to be tickled and teased! He is almost crawling. Any day now. He gets up on all fours and rocks back and forth but hasnt quite figured it out yet! He finally cut his first tooth last week! He is 6 months old now and weighs 21 lbs. 27 inches long! He has slowed down on the weight gain thank goodness! My arms can't carry that much weight all day every day! He's killing me! Ben is doing great in school! We are so excited we are finally on the home streatch it seems like. Just a little over a year left. It seemed like we would never get to this point. Anyway life is great here in Tennessee! We miss everyone and wish we could see ya sooner but we will see ya this summer!




He looks so handsome in his sunday clothes!








Everyone thinks Daddy is the best DS player. They all like to sit and watch him play, even Griff!




Cade sure is sweet with Griffin. He loves holding him.



















This is Griff's attempt to crawl! He doesn't like to use the knees. Pretty tough little baby!




I think he can hold the plank longer than Ben!

He has some chubby legs. They are so cute when they are so chubby. If you stay in tennessee any longer you are going to have boys with accents. its a lot different having christmas with just your little family instead of with siblings and parents. we did the same thing this year. we didnt want to have to drive that far with a new born.

Glad to know that the Boyle Southern genes are coming through in your kids....but I'll tell you that I never say "ain't"..I do say "ya'll' and "fixin to". Your boys are adorable! I'm your father in laws cousin, in case you are wondering!
