Yeah… we’re just as shocked as you are - Where has the time gone!!!!

Here’s a few pics of the little professor that we took today for at five months old exactly, and he’s just too cute not to show off a bit!

I love this one, very Tennyson, he’s doing his very favorite thing:

… eating his hand…

or his shirt…

or thinking about if he can eat those feet…

and ofcourse, those big giant blue eyes…. seriously this is just right off the camera, this kid is soooo shiny

Even though the time seems to be flying by, I’m not over exaggerating when I say - every day I look at my baby boy and just think how lucky we are to have him.  He is such a little gem, and we adore him. 

These past five months have been filled to the brim with baby love, not just by this doting mommy, but by 3 big adoring brothers and a daddy that can’t hide how much he loves this little guy.

Tennyson is one wonderful little guy, and pretty much perfect if you ask us!  Here’s to the months to come!

There is something about seeing these two together….

They bicker and fight over EVERYTHING, they scream, they yell, sometimes they even hit…. and they make me completely insane…. But then out of the blue, they get together and they play and they smile and they giggle like this (they are both holding Owens blanket here and sucking their thumbs - apparently this is the funniest thing ever)… and that is when I remember, THIS is what its all about.

A sibling is an automatic best friend for life. I know from personal experience just how priceless that is! (I love you Liz!) Owen and Reece are only 16 months apart and it has been crazy at times to say the least, but you know what - you’re welcome guys… because I know we’ve given you the greatest gift we possibly can.

Here’s to siblings!

(I know I’ve been a bit quiet! Its been a busy past few weeks, but I should pop in with SOMETHING - and Owen and Reecey are total bff today, so i thought it’d be a good siblings post day I’ll be back later to show you all what I’ve been up to.)

It’s been a LONG day of celebrating over here! We hosted a BBQ for friends, and then played our part in the craziest display of fireworks I’ve ever seen! So I’m ready to crash big time!

But I didn’t want the day to end before my four boys in their matching All American t’s had the chance to say “Happy Force of Jedi” to you!

The other day I was telling the boys that they could wear their new shirts when the Fourth of July came, and Reece got all distraught because “mom the Force of Jedi will NEVER come, it is just in a movie! you know from the STARWARS movie!?” Well the brothers and I got a kick out of that, and even though I explained to him that it is the 4TH OF JULY - he still calls it the force of Jedi, and it’s sort of stuck, because the boys were all saying that when I took their pictures!

We TRIED to get one with them all smiling, or atleast all looking at the camera… but it is a lot to ask of FOUR wiggly little boys, especially considering Tennyson broke out in tears every time the brothers yelled “CHEESE” of “FORCE OF JEDI” or anything else - LOL poor little dude! In the end I’m loving them, true to life pictures - hahaha
So anyways, wishing you all a happy 4th from our family to yours! Hope you had a great day today!

I saw this on my friend Casey’s blog, and although she didn’t tag me specifically (she did the “everyone is tagged” thing) I thought I’d play because June 3rd was the 8th anniversary month for G and I and I’m feeling all sentimental
