Simple sigh of ReLieF...

but maybe I really am sad... :) Because this only means my once little baby is now a BiG BoY and growing up all too fast. This cutest little Drew is FINALLY potty trained! He has been doing SOOO good for awhile, but I haven't wanted to set myself up for some huge accidents. Anyway, we never even went through the package of pull-ups we bought but for some reason I am still carrying around a spare piece of undies in my bag everywhere we go :) haha
These were just the latest and cutest pics that I have that completely describe this little guy! He gets in his batman costume AT LEAST once a day! So much fun. Love him!!!

Although, I shouldn't get too settled, we will only be diaperless for a few more months! Just wanted to let Drew know how proud I am of him and don't mind his cute little voice yelling "I go potty mom!! Go potty!" That's when I know we only have a few seconds to help him aim straight INSIDE the toilet! :)

GNO

Funny none of the girls we have our nights with really even blog or check blogs, but I still love having the pics from it. We started last year with walking around all the cute stores at Gardner Village and then enjoying a yummy dinner. This year we swapped it around with the 2 prego chicas it worked better! :)
Yummy dinner or dessert for...like Ash who skipped dinner and had only Apple Cobbler!! But Happy Birthday to her today, works great for us to have gone out last night.
Linds and I having some random like 13 year old boy take our pic...who said he was trying his best to make it a good one since he figured it was for FB, kinda funny! haha
ANoThEr group pic by some random lady who told us all about her cancer she overcame this year and her bad eye that has had seven surgeries, how she loves shopping at GV, how she comes every night, spent like $68 on the one item in her bag, that she won the cackle contest there but couldn't do it anymore since her cancer is gone...don't worry, cause we asked to hear it! :) Thanks to her we did get another pic though! haha
Random and STandArd for Lew and I!


I thought this was kinda funny to compare this years pic with last years...
Comparisons(from the pic below): hmmm..Ash just did her hair different and this year was posing as Brookes lova!, I wasn't fat and as ugly last year, Alexa now has her baby girl and brought her to enjoy the fun, Lindsay had that 4th baby and is now looking like one hot mama!, Tami brought Lucy instead this year for our GN while Leo stayed home, and Brooke managed to get a night away from her Shay and is now expecting her 2nd AND still pretty as ever!

Thanks Tys for making it work for me to go...it was fun to get out with the girls! and Thanks to Linds for planning it!

FiELd TRiP:BLaCk IsLaND FaRm FuN...!

We love this place and the boys were so happy to go back! For Peyt's school we got to go this time. The boys had so much fun especially since they had buddies, who are our soon to be neighbors, there to play with. Gets us even more excited for Fall and all the Halloween fun.
Gettin' ready for the tractor ride to learn about ONions, CarroTs, and to pick out their favorite pumpkin.


Miss Jamie, I had to take a pic of, she was trying to tote around her little Krew, with Beckham pulling at her side and trying to keep track of Jaxon AND taking pictures. It was worth showing her the multi-tasking skills she is capable of! haha
Drew wanted to carry it all by himself and kept saying "I'm strong!" and that he was, um, for a 3 year old, Peyt wouldn't even carry his for a second! haha
I think they are going to have so much fun living by eachother! Don't you??? Lucky boys!
My mom came along for the fun and was a huge help with ALL the boys!
She even got Mr. Beckham to go down the slide...don't you love his face? Priceless!
I think Grandma enjoyed the slide just as much as the boys! Her and Drew have the same form.
This fits him perfect! I can totally see him doing this one day in REAL life!
Gotta love the bouncy PuMPkiN!
Once again, Grandma helping with the entertainment...thanks for teeter-tottering! :)
CoRn BoX fun!

Yes, he LOVED this train! He rode it I believe 4 times...and even rode with this stranger kid!
More fun to be had, because the boys hope we make it back a second time with dad. And why wouldn't we?? It only lasts for a short time! Now we just gotta make time to carve the pumpkins, because that's all Peyt asked about on the way home!

#3!!!

So I was so caught up in the news of our little baby to be being a GiRL that I totally spaced telling about our reactions. And of course this is more for us to remember than for you to enjoy reading it :) Anyway, the predictions:
Tys: BOY (as always, and he WAS right with the first two!)
Peyt: said all along it was a girl
Drew: That morning I told him we were going to find out what we're having...I said "do you think it's a boy or a girl?" and he said "boy or a girl!" I told him he had to choose one and he said "boy!" without any hesitation.
Me: I thought for sure after 9 natural boys (and the 10th on the way) in the family that there was no way it could be a girl, even though I had kinda thought so because a lot of things were much different with this pregnancy. That I also kept to myself because so many people had said that didn't matter anyway. So I was still thinking the news would probably be a boy. Knowing I would be completely happy with either.
...as soon as we stepped in the Ultrasound room, I said "Well, Tys are you ready to take 3 boys hunting with you?" Then Peyt stopped and thought and said "No, I think it's a boy actually, then we can all go hunting with dad." We laughed it off and started the ultrasound. Drew was a little scared, I think he thought they were hurting me and didn't like the lights being dimmed. Peyt loved seeing this little baby and would comment that she looked like she was eating or doing different things. After making sure the baby looked healthy, it only took a couple minutes and our nurse gave the news "I...think it's a girl!" I seriously couldn't talk. My Dr. asked a question and I studdered yes a couple times. He mentioned I was caught off guard and speechless. When we left the room, Peyt said, "but I wanted a boy so we could go hunting, I don't want a sister" so I tried explaining that he and Drew could still go with dad and she'll stay home and have girl weekends with me. He was okay with it but then asked if she could just come hunting with them. too cute! Drew just kept asking all day to see my tummy and see the baby. He thought he could see it since the nurse showed him we could see a baby in there. So funny! I think Tys was the most surprised, but also so excited to know he will get to have a little Daddy's girl. and that she will be cause I know he will be the best dad for her. She is a lucky little gal!


We are so excited. And as far as names that we have picked out...well funny story actually. My first three choices started back with Halle then Madisyn and then Abby which all have been long taken by now from other extended family members. Which serves them right, they had first pick! haha So for our new list:

Kynlie/Kinlee
Katelyn (Kate)
Olivia

Probably all with the middle name Nicole. After mine. Who knows the list could change completely, but definately give us your opinion...it's fun to see what other people think.
We are so excited and are DEFINATELY welcoming your little girls HAND ME DOWNS!!! :) uh, seriously though!

Bring on the PINK!!!!

So excited and even more SURPRISED!!! After all these boys in our family and 2 of our own, I thought we would for sure be getting the news of a baby boy today! Even after a tiny hunch of thinking it might be a girl! :) SO here comes a new wardrobe and cute decor for a very PINK and GIRLY GIRL with accessories of course...and YES I am going to need the help of you moms that have girls on tips for keeping the budgets low!!!! haha and lets just hope our nurse wasn't wrong! I guess if she was, we will be completely prepared for a boy! :) But don't worry, I asked her a few times just to make sure! ...Now just waiting for REALITY to set in...or maybe I'll just believe it when I see her! :)

PaRt 2...THANKS EM! :)

and the day I get pics from Jill, believe it or not, there would be a PART 3!!! Lots of pics that I hope you have a sense of humor for. I guess they are more for us girls to enjoy and remember all the fun memories...

Still not so sure how we ended up with a million pics in just the garage on the way there and just hanging out. Kinda funny!
Don't worry, we had GREAT entertainment up there! haha



Self timed driving pic...check!


Who can pass up the AMAZING deals you find at the outlets...obviously combined, none of us can :)

A NIGHT started of the BATMAN shirts...

Nice idea Em for an ACTUAL photo shoot, I mean it DID make sense since we had all matching shirts! Took care of the family picture problem for a little while anyway...


Oh Dear Jill, way to go on the posing for this final chica pic!!! You are A PRO!
and thank heaven for at least a couple rounds of Wacky 6, our FAVORITE game!

AND yes, we are a little dorky, but that just means we had tons of fun too! So please don't judge our amazing skills to take such amazing pictures! haha Funny thing is, and also hard to believe that I wasn't responsible for more than like 5 pics! Unusal for me, but I guess it's really not when I don't have a camera yet...Soon though, very soon :)
