Our Over Night Visitor


Have you ever been in your living room with all of your kids and you look around and wonder who is missing? I hate that feeling because usually that means it is that time again....you know, the one where you have to start thinking about having another bundle of joy. But I am getting old and my body and sanity are just not like they used to be, so I decided that I needed to take a test drive. So, I borrowed my friend's 2 week old baby boy (I know, I can't believe she let me), and I am so glad she did. It was complete bliss. The kids absolutely loved him! He was so good for us and even slept 5 hours straight! My kids never did that. But, I am happy to report that my baby hunger was filled. I am not having anymore! It wasn't the sleepless night or the spit up, it was all the paraphernalia that comes with it! It is so nice to have my hands free when I walk to the car. I don't miss the huge car seat carriers and the diaper bag as big as your head! So, I have decided that I am going to borrow Casen whenever necessary!

Happy Birthday Bode!!!



Fall and winter are such busy birthday times for our family! I can't believe that my little man is already 2 years old. He is such a great kid! Here are 2 things that I love about Bode....
1. His laugh. Oh my is it funny! He has this deep chuckle that rolls from his tummy and fills the room. We all love to throw him in the air because he laughs so hard that we end up wanting to pee our pants it is so funny!

2. His crazy personality. He is ALL boy! I thought my girls were loud, boy I was wrong! Bode is hilarious. He is always getting into something and tearing things apart. It is so fun to watch his mischievous, curious side. Another thing I love about him is when he calls me "Carie" and Brandon "Brandon", instead of mom and dad! What a goof ball!

We love you Bode and happy birthday big boy!!!
