What some people will do for free food!!

The other day, a client of Chris' came in to our home and the first thing he mentioned to us was that it was free food day at Chic-fil-a and then asked us if we were going to go. I of course asked what you had to do in order to get the free food and he told me that you had to dress up like a cow. A cow? I get it, just had to get my brain wrapped around it for a minute in order to process whether or not we could pull this off...I mean, there are a bunch of us! :-) It hit me within seconds that we have several old white t-shirts the boys sleep in, why not turn them into cow shirts! I love spray paint, the options are endless!!! So that's just what I did, spending a total of maybe 10 minutes to find the shirts and make them. Then I got one of our Chic-fil-a cows and pined it to my shoulder (I didn't have an old white t-shirt) and he got to buckle up in the front seat and ride with me. We all piled in the car and each got a free meal, not a bad deal!! It really was a lot of fun and the food was of course, GREAT! Gotta love some chic-fil-a. And now, we have cow shirts for next year on free food day! :-)
Of course we couldn't leave out the slogan!
My little heard of cattle!

Me and my cow all buckled up!
They got hats when we got there to add to there outfits!

A little Old School Fun!!!

So I'm thinkin' most people can remember having a blast as a kid on a good ol' slip-n-slide! Well, we were all decked out in swimin' stuff the other day and got to the pool and it was closed...what to do. Hey, let's go home and whip out the slip-n-slide!!! Fun times for all...of course the yard was a bit trashed when we got done but it didn't take to many days for it to recover. So worth it for them! We set it up in our front yard on the hill, it's much easier to slide that way and of course you go much faster as well! They really did have a ton of fun that day!
They have a BLAST together!
These two are a mess with each other!
Havin' some crazy fun!
Loves anything that is adventurous!
Had so much fun that when we had to put it up he cried...sweet little guy!

Just another Rainy Day...

When Chris travels a bunch in the summer the boys and I try to find some fun things to do together to pass the time a bit more quickly. Today we had a fun day!! We started it out with a big breakfast at home (waffles, eggs and sausage), then were off to go to a dollar movie, How to Train a Dragon. The movie was so cute, we all loved it. Then we were off to run a couple of errands, followed by a fun lunch at McDonalds. On the way home we were going to run by Aldi to get our groceries for the week. Well, 3 of them fell asleep and it was already storming so I called their Aunt Kay and Uncle Glenn to see if they could come over and crash on the couch while I did the shopping. Of course they said yes (since they had no plans), and of course they all 3 woke up while there and got treated like little kings! :-) I got my shopping done and looked like I had taken a shower with my clothes on when I went to pick up the boys so I didn't get out, they all just ran to the car one by one, screaming all the way because they thought it was so funny to run in the rain. When we got home, of course I had to empty the groceries so they asked if they could play in the rain. I thought there was no harm in that being that it has slowed to a light rain and there was no lightning, well, I was wrong. In a good way. Let me just say 4 little boys running around and playing in the rain is one of the sweetest and funniest things I've seen in a while. They had a blast and I couldn't help but take pics. Enjoy!!!
I love this...they were having so much fun!
Corbin is normally afraid of the rain, I was so proud of him for letting it all go and having fun!
Cade was just going crazy!
Yes, they were bending over and sticking their heads in the water that was running down the street! I believe Cohen did it first believe it or not!
Laying in the water? Who thinks of these things...oh, wait, my sweet Callen thought of that one :-)
"I pity the fool"...at least that is what I think he is thinkin'!
I know, one of the most disgusting things he could have done! His immune system will be stronger for it, that's what I tell myself at least!
Maybe kinda like a facial? :-)

Cohen's Two!!!

It's so hard to believe that it's already been 2 years since our sweet baby Cohen was born. He has been such a blessing and a joy each day! It's more than amazing to me how God can give a mother so much love for her sons, especially when she never even dreamed of having 4 of them. Our prayer for Cohen is that as he grows he is drawing closer to a relationship with Christ each day! Enjoy some sweet pics of our celebrations with him!

Let's see those teeth...or lack of!

So our sweet Corbin officially lost his second top tooth about a week ago. I say lost, but actually I had to pull it. He had been playing and hit it and it was really hurting him. It was really barely holding on so I convinced him that it would be easier to let mommy pull it than have to go to the dentist and get it done. It didn't come out quite as easy as I thought but I'm getting a bit better at this tooth pulling thing! By the time Cohen is loosing his teeth I'll be an expert! As you can see from the first pic, he was not too fond of me doing this but shortly after, he was really excited we got it out for two reasons: 1)it didn't hurt any more and 2) he knows the tooth fairy brings money. He told Grammie two days ago that he was rich now because the tooth fairy brought him 8 quarters. I love how sweet he is!
Still not so happy I pulled it.
Now we are starting to smile!
Putting that tooth in the pillow and under the pillow.
So cute!!!

No Time At All...

So I'm sorry if you enjoy checking in on us through our blog. I really have been short on time lately. In the next week and a half's time we have 5 graduations...that's not to mention the work loads Chris and I have right now on top of just trying to spend quality family time and sneak some time just the two of us as well. God is so good though and things are truly going well. He continues to amaze us each day at His faithfulness and love He has for us as we continue to share that with others! All that to say, if you are out there and keep up with us (or try to), I'm sorry!!! I would say it is going to get better but for now it won't. Something has to give and this has been it for now. Thanks for your patience and I will catch y'all up as soon as I can!

It's Catch Up Time!

So busy does not even really do our lives justice in these last couple of months! Not busy in a bad way, just in a life with 4 boys is non stop way! We've had a great couple of months and I'm sorry that I have not posted anything in so long. Not even really sure though who reads? :-) But for those of you who do, I'll try to give a quick update on what we've been doing since the last time I posted.

Chris' Birthday

Daddy and His Boys! We went out to Fielder Road Baptist Church's Disciple Now to see him lead worship for the youth on the night of his birthday. The boys love going to praise God with their Daddy!
I made him an iPhone cake as a surprise! He loved it!


Gorgeous Sunrise

I took this picture on the way to church a couple of weeks ago, I love it! The boys love watching the sunrise since they normally can't look at the sun!

Gone Fishin'

One day on the way home from church Chris asked the boys if they would like to go fishing at our neighborhood pond. Of course they said yes so we packed a picnic, took the wagon, a scooter, and our fishing gear and all had a blast, even though it was really too windy that day. We'll do it again soon!
Callen loved casting the rod himself!
Cade was such a big boy with his own pole!

Easter

Easter Basket Time
4 Handsome Boys (they didn't totally match each other this year but that's what I get for waiting 'till 2 days before Easter to get their outfits! Yikes...they all looked so cute though!!)
Love those 4 sweet smiles!
