Cade's Birthday!

Cade turned 5 on Jan. 14th!  He had an awesome Birthday party with family!  Me and Ben attempted to make an awesome Mario Birthday Cake.  It was an attempt!!

 Cade loved his cake though! He thought it was pretty awesome!

 I didn't get many pictures of his birthday cause Graham needed to be fed but he got an operation board game which they love, a bike, a fun game from Grandma Cassie that definitely livens up our house, and some cool superheroes from Grandma and Grandpa Elkins! He was very excited!!  Thanks to everyone for his bday presents! 

 I can't help but constantly take pictures of Graham! He is so sweet!

 Tongue is ALWAYS out!! ALWAYS!!

 He has been rolling on his sides since he was born.  In fact he rolled on his side as soon as he came out of me.  He was on the incubator and almost rolled off before the nurse and Ben grabbed him!  However I finally had time to get a picture of it!!

 This is Graham at 4 weeks old!! He weighs 10 lbs.

 Brotherly love!!

 Sorry the pictures are out of order but this is Graham at 3 weeks and weighed 9 lbs 3 oz.

 This is my favorite picture!!

Griffin Telling Secrets

I thought this video was really cute of Griff and Ben telling secrets!

Griffin and Graham's Pics!

Okay so I didn't have time to go through these pictures so I just uploaded the whole cd from the photographer! I am realizing I don't have much time to do ANYTHING with my four boys but I am loving every min. of it. Well most of it anyway!! I have to blog about the day Ben went to Miami last week for his interview! He did great and loved it by the way.  On the other hand, us at home was a different story!!  How a 17 month old manages to do all of this in one day is beyond me, but he's pretty talented I must say!  So first thing in the morning I'm feeding Graham and Griffin decides to walk up and hit him in the head with a matchbox car!  Then I went upstairs to take a shower and I always lock Griffin in my bedroom so he can't get into everything else and I put Graham inside the pack-n-play in my room.  Well there were all sorts of goodies on Graham including fingernail clippers, legos, and much more.  Well while I was in the shower I hear running water somewhere else in the house and jump out of the shower only to find Griffin had unlocked my bedroom door, gotten into the other bathroom in the tub with the cold water running.  IN HIS CLOTHES.  He was as happy as could be even though he was freezing.  He also climbed up Kayson's bunk bed ladder and was climbing onto his bed and Kayson was smashing him to the top part of the ladder screaming MOM he's at the top of the ladder. UH.  Once again I'm feeding Graham so poor Graham never gets in a full feeding!!  So now ladder is always on Kayson's bed all day and bathroom door locked from the inside!  Later that day I gave Graham a bath and took him in onto my bed to put baby lotion on him and get him dressed. Yes I left the baby lotion on the bed.  Huge bottle with pump, BIG MISTAKE!  I once again was feeding Graham downstairs just thinking man it's really quiet. I made Kayson and Cade go check and yes there was baby lotion all over my bed.  And yes I just rubbed it all in because I was too stinking tired and didn't have time to change or wash my sheets. They smell baby fresh though!  Also did I mention that when I went up there to get the lotion away from him that he was naked from the waist down?  Ya he figured out how to get his pants off!  AHHH. He knows how to get the diaper off easy. So now there is a problem. Oh and there was a big ball of poop on my carpet with some pee all around it!  That night he got into the kitchen drawers and got an egg beater which he hit Cade on the top of the head with and a screwdriver which he hit Kayson on the top of the head with.  Then to top it off he got 2 butter knives off of my nasty unclean kitchen counters and started to chase Kayson and Cade with them.  He was really upset cause I made them take something away from him so he was going after them trying to hit them. All the while I'm nursing and screaming Cade run, Kayson get up. MOVE!  Griff's coming after ya. I kept trying to get him to come over to me and let me have the knives but then he tried to hit Graham in the head with them.  After about 10 min of this he finally handed them over to me nicely.  How is it that the littlest one is the scariest??  HAHA! It's funny though when ya think back on these days!!  I sure do love him!  He keeps me on my toes! Today he emptied out all of Cade's clothes out of the drawers that he could reach into and last night got a hold of a permanent marker and colored on the floor and the cupboards! Ya gotta love him!  Well I hope you have fun looking at these pictures! These are Griffin's 15 month old pics and Graham's 1 week old pictures. Sorry they are just barely getting put on!
