The little dominator

Ellie has come out of her shell to say the least. She's at 60 goals and counting this season! Our sweet, timid Ellie probably also would have had multiple red cards for pushing (if they gave them in 4/5 soccer). Not so proud of that fact...

Living in a gated community

Much to his dismay, poor little Ky-boy has been behind bars all summer since he decided to start crawling at 5 months and pulling up at 6 months!


Kyler is definitely our most active and curious kid!


How could you resist these baby blues?




...or this little smile?




When Kyler is not too happy, he says "ooooooooohhhh".


But he quickly recovers and 'Kyler the Smiler' returns.


Shhh! When he is all grown up, don't tell him we sometimes put girl bibs on him or we might get some more "ooooooohhhs"!

Hospitals, medicines, and surgeries ... oh my!

Instead of this...


We have been doing all THIS!!


And this...


In a week and a half, we had 10 doctors visits, surgery, and a hospital stay! First Teyah and Ellie became sick with strep throat. Aubrie developed a strep infection in her finger. Kyler got an ear infection. Then he developed a terrible cough, which fortunately wasn't Pertussis like the doc first thought it was, but unfortunately was pneumonia! And on top of it all, Teyah had her tonsils and adenoids removed and new ear tubes this week. Her surgery meant another night for me this year at Children's hospital.


Taking care or these cuties, and administering ALL those medications would have been a nightmare without the help of this wonderful Grandma! I'm not sure how we would have survived without her (once again!).



Hopefully soon we can get back to a little more of this...


And this!
