Happy 3rd Birthday, Gage!

I can't believe it's been three years already. Gage has blessed our lives in so many ways. He is a good boy most days and a great big brother to Lauren.
We celebrated his birthday at school with a birthday cookie, then we had his big party at Jump Zone. He had the best time. It was hard to get photos of him, because he was so busy running around. He did have one accident that caused a bloody nose, but I am sure it will be one of many. He enjoyed playing with friends from school and outside of school.

We also took him for his 3yr check up, and he's progressing on track for his age. He weighs 35lbs and is 40 in tall. We also had his tonsils looked at because he snores bad (like daddy). We are scheduled to go see an ENT doc, so we may be having our tonsils removed...I am just scared thinking about it.

Zoo Day

We were lucky to get another nice day to visit the zoo before I have to go back to work. We traveled to Tulsa with Sam and Mitzi Traxson. The boys had a great time, and Lauren didn't mind either.

BIG Smile!

I just had to post the biggest smile that I have been able to catch on camera. I just love the smiles and coos that I have been getting lately.

Love the Fall

There hasn't been much fall weather, but still enjoying the festivities of it all. Football, pumpkins, and Halloween shopping. The weather hasn't cooperated much to bring the kids to a tailgate yet, but hope to get them to at least one. I took the kids to a pumpkin patch. Of course, Lauren slept the whole time, but Gage enjoyed it. We (mainly me) even carved a pumpkin. Not sure I would carve one like this again. It was hard work. And, finally, Gage decided he wanted to be a dinosaur this year. He has been watching the Land Before Time movie and loves it. We tried his costume on and he was making dino roars and everything. I think Lauren will be a little flower this year. Hopefully, the weather will cooperate on Halloween.

Busy Boy!

I have been trying to keep Gage busy these days. He's been great with Lauren, but still don't want him to miss out on anything. He's still going to daycare everyday even though I am at home for awhile longer. He would be bored with me and the baby everyday. I took him to Bikes and Blues and he got to ride the Blues train with his friend Sam. It was his first 'real' train ride and he loved it. Then, we had our friend's, Ean, birthday party, and we got to ride a smaller train and a carousel. He had a great time. He has just started soccer. He's doing so well. I think he's definitely our little athlete. He's making momma proud.

2 month check up

We went in for Lauren's 2 month check up and all is well. She weighed 10lbs 2oz and 23in long. The doc says she long and skinny. Definitley didn't get that from mommy or daddy, must be my mom's genes. She still smiling and cooing more everyday. We also did her shots that day. She didn't cry as long as I thought, so it wasn't has hard on me. Thank goodness!
