Codiak

Mr. Cody got his first big boy bed a few weeks ago. We got him a firetruck bed and he LOVES it. In the past week, he completely gave up his pacifier and is also potty training! He's growing up way too fast as well. Here are some proud big boy pictures in his new bed :)

My little Monkey is now 6 months old!

Max turned 6 months old on the 3rd of this month already. Time has really flown! In the past week, he had 2 teeth come through, 2 more working on coming through, he's rolling over, trying to sit up, scooting around the floor, and advancing WAY too fast. He even had his first haircut this past weekend!
Why do babies grow so fast????
Here are a few pictures :)

Tis the season for birthdays!!!

Kaseman and Bug are about to have yet another birthday each. I cannot believe how fast these kids are growing up! On Sunday, Kasy will be 9 years old. He is having his first big friend birthday party too. I'm excited yet nervous for it. I'm scared that not everyone will come and he will have to deal with the heartache of being disappointed on this birthday. I'm also afraid that he won't have as much fun as he thinks (he's really blown this up in his mind to be the best thing in the world), and that he'll be disappointed then too. I know it's life, but I really hope I can make this birthday the best birthday ever for him. He's growing up WAY too fast and he's really becoming a smart young man. This is his last year in single digits and I can't believe how big he is.
Bug will be turning 6 next friday as well. He is excited about his birthday too. We will be going to my husbands parents house for his birthday weekend for a little party.
Next week I will be making two sets of cupcakes as well and I'm trying to think of some creative ones that all of the kids would love. In the past I have made Cows, Pigs, and colors. The cows and pigs took a LOT of time, but it was SOOO neat to see all the kids get excited and Kasy was very impressed with his birthday cupcakes in class.

Anybody have any recipes for fun kids cupcakes that would be great for class????

Valentines Day!

So, does anybody have any fun and creative ideas for Valentine's day this year? I think with my boys, we're going to make some heart cakes and decorate them. Then we're going to make cards and fun little treats for the hubby. For school, Alex will be taking valentines with gummy bugs. His nickname is bug, so it fits LOL And Kaseman will be taking valentines with Fun dip! Anybody remember that stuff? I used to love the sticks LOL

Have a gamer in your home?

I'm not trying to do this for the points LOL I signed up on gamefly today since the two big ones got new gameboys for Christmas. They "think" They need every game made for them. So I figured this might be a better deal. For $20 a month you can rent as many as you want at 2 at a time (If you go through this link It's only $9 for the month). I figured I"d give it a try. This way I'm not out much money when they get sick of playing a certain game and they will constantly have new ones to play!

Long time no blog....

We've been dealing with virus after virus in this house between the 4 boys, then we had Christmas with family, then New Years. Hopefully life will calm for a bit now :)
I hope everyone had a very happy holiday season this year!
Life is still fun in our household.
From the mouth of my 5 year old while playing the game "sorry" with the two big boys. I sent my husband back to his "start" area, and he looked at me and said "I know where you sleep!" just kidding around. Within not even 2 seconds, my 5 year old looked up and said "Yeah, right next to you!" and went on playing the game. I have NO clue how he is this quick, but this kid is funny LOL
We live on a base where there are B-2 Airplanes and he has it in his head as well that he is the one to clean them. If we drive by the flightline and see one sitting out, he will seriously getting upset saying that someone left his B-2 out and now he's going to have to spend all night washing it to get it ready for tomorrow. The child has quite the imagination. It makes me wonder what he'll be when he grows up!
Anybody else have any kids with big imaginations? Share some funny stories :)

Merry Christmas!

The boys went to see Santa this weekend and I was impressed that they ALL smiled at the camera and looked in the same direction LOL Here's the picture. now if I can only be this lucky EVERY year! *LOL*
