Random Tuesday Fun

C, C and X love to find and play with random things at my house. This particular afternoon Caden found some boots that don't quite fit yet, X found some sandals that he never before has wanted to wear and Chloe has a pair of winter crocs (thanks Jack! :)

X started dismantling his train table one day so I took the train pieces downstairs and C and C wanted to sit on top! (with their shoes)

C and C. Anxiously awaiting their 3rd C! Due to arrive in 3-4 weeks!

Official due date for Mr Carson is September 21. I have a feeling with all the work my sister has been doing that he will make an early appearance! We will find out tomorrow if there is any action!

Burp cloth for your head anyone? Yes we definitely had a major fight for who got which burp cloth......

I tried to get all 3 wearing their burp cloth hats but of course 1 moved, 1 turned around, etc!

I think our other major fight this afternoon was over 2 empty contact cases. Go figure!

Tren's Baby Shower

Cooper and X playing in the blow up pool/slide.

The Jimmer borrowed the neighbors toys for the night! We also had to make a mad dash around 8:30 to get it put away before the infamous Saturday storm of August!

Lil G asleep with the girls inside!

What? I'm not doing anything wrong!

Luke and Drew playing

Yummmmm, brownies!!

Our crowd wasn't huge but we got the McFarlands some essentials for Baby Mac, due in October! We are adding another BOY to this group of friends. Poor Gisele is either going to be a hot commodity one day or she will be bored out of her mind with all these rambunctious boys!

1 month & Pool Time

Hard to believe she is already 1 month old. Actually as of typing, she is 5 weeks and 3 days!

(Love this onesie-Thanks Fisher Family!)

Waiting for Daddy to get situated.

Just chillin in the stroller. She lasted about 15 minutes I believe then we walked home crying!

Nothing like sucking on a community pool toy! A few germs won't hurt anyone!

Apparently the owner of this toy didn't want to take it home. This is the same day as above picture but X finds it each time we go. The amazing part to this toy is that he knew what to do with it!!! Jake said he tried on his own and sucked in some water and then Jake tried to help him with it, still got a little water. I can probably thank good ole Phineas and Ferb for him knowing how to use a snorkel!

Resting on her blankie.

Overall Gisele is a pretty good baby! She has had a few nights here and there where a 1-2 hour witching hour occurred, but other than that, she is pretty good. She eats, wakes and sleeps pretty much all day! A couple nights ago she did do a 6 hour stretch, which I was quite surprised by. It would have been pure bliss had I not been up with Xavier for an hour at about the 3 hour mark. You win some, you lose some!

She hasn't done that long of course since then! But 3 hours is still pretty good! Xavier is adjusting to her and life with a sister. He is rough and thinks she can do things he can do or play like him so poor kid heres NO and Please be Gentle repeatedly!

It is hard to believe Summer is coming to a close! We start our weekends of something to do on every one from here til Christmas already!

Hope everyone is having a good weekend!

Already wrapped around Daddy's fingers :)

Lovin on his Bittle Sister

Someone wasn't real happy for photos that morning. Thankfully Angela brought him this cool sucker with big teeth!

This is just a small sample but some of the best pics!

Maternity Pics

A little late on the Maternity pics but I finally got them on my computer and then uploaded.

So here are just a few.

Man am I glad I am not preggo anymore!!

Saturday Morning

Diapy changing time all around!

Don't want to jinx myself but Xavier is actually LOOKING at the camera AND saying cheese some days! :)

Eyes are partially open. We only really see them for a few at feedings, diaper changes and for about an hour a day. Not that I am complaining that she sleeps because I AM NOT!!!!!

Cheese!

Xavier is such a good big brother. He likes to hug and kiss all over Gisele and I am sure he is almost immune to "be gentle," "don't do that," and "please don't touch her face."

My other good helper is daddy! He is smitten with his new little girl! And when he is home if he doesn't have her he is playing with X. He is helpful beyond words, thanks Babe! I love you! :)

I also have to thank GG and Grandi for helping me out this past week and in the weeks to come! 

And thank you to all the visitors who have brought us food or helped out in some form or fashion!

Thank you everyone!
