Baby-Proofing….

So every since we rearranged our living room in MARCH, this has been driving me INSANE.  Kellen just likes to pull out all of the books from the book case….which then means we can’t open the door without having to pick them up and put them away.  So I finally went to IKEA and found baskets to fit in the cubbies!

So far the baskets seem to heavy for Kellen to pull out.  I don’t give it much longer before he does figure it out, but for now it is blissfully organized!  Yay!

The Tour Championship 2012

Thanks to The First Tee program that Finn is in, we were able to get free tickets to Family Night at the East lake Golf Course on Wednesday night!  I took all three boys after we picked Finn up from school and we had a great time checking out the course.  First there was a demonstration by a guy who did “trick shots” which the boys thought was awesome, then they had some boxed meals for us which we sat and had a picnic dinner with our friends and then we walked around the golf course a bit before heading home!  We had gorgeous weather and so much FUN!

Desk Buddy

Everyone should have a desk buddy!  If I sit down at my desk, Kellen comes and climbs up in the chair and sits behind me with his legs wrapped around me.  It is THE BEST thing!

Oh how I love this boy!

Uncle Buzz

Our boys LOVE Uncle Buzz!  Kellen can even say “Uncle Buzz” now which is the cutest thing, and boy is he completely in love with him.  Uncle Buzz kept Finn and Riley for us when we had our night away and he took them to a festival and took a few pictures of them on this bungey thing and finally sent them to me!

Beep Beep, Working on A Jeep!

We are finally working on the Jeep!!!!  Todd works with a guy who knows how to work on cars, so he came and spent the afternoon with us and worked on the Jeep.  It isn’t working completely yet, but there is progress!!!!

Hopefully I will have more updates to come and pictures/videos of us riding in the Jeep!  Fingers Crossed!

Swaptember

Our weekends have been packed full of FUN stuff!  One Saturday we became a family of 6 and then a family of 7!

First we watched Finn’s friend Eva after soccer and took her to golf with some front porch apple snacking first!

Next we kept our friends Alec and Aerin for the afternoon and over night!  Their parents had watched Kellen over night for us a few weeks ago, so we were returning the favor!  We took them to the East Atlanta Strut which was so much FUN!  Yes, we did take FIVE kids with us to a festival!

Checking out the first band!  Love how they are still holding hands!

Wait that isn’t Finn back there!  We had to take 2 cars to get there, so we split up the kids and changed it up from the way there and home.
