Again I will ask... When did time grow wings?

It seems as though time has wings these days! Jack is already 8 months old and crawling everywhere. He's pulling himself up on everything now too.

I never thought I would feel like I wanted time to stand still for a little while. It seems as though he's growing up way to fast. Faster than the other two ever did. Jack waves bye bye and says it too! He gives big wet sloppy open mouth kisses that are really precious! He has discovered the dogs water is alot of fun! (well for him anyway). I'm not quite ready to let him do all this stuff just yet. I know I should be happy he's healthy and learning new things, but gosh could it go just a tad slower? I'm having alot of fun with this little guy and want to take in every moment!

Speaking of where did the time go... Sam lost a tooth! He came upstairs and showed me his tooth was out. "I just pushed it and it came right out" he said.

I decided to put him in swim lessons this summer, he loves the water! If he really knew how to swim there would be no stopping him. He gets upset when we have to leave or he has to wait his turn with the teacher!

He can't wait till his birthday! He tells everyone "I'm going to be 6 soon". Sam also can't wait until school starts this fall! He really loves Jack, almost to much sometimes! he won't leave him alone sometimes and Jack gets upset because he wants to GO!

Tayler is a handsome 13 year old!

He's really gotten into making his own videos these days. He does stop motion with his legos and is even doing an instructional video on how to do that. He really seems to enjoy that alot. Perhaps that's going to be his fortay! He's a funny kid and seems to like Jack alot too. Sam... well.. not so much! I'm sure once Jack gets older and can talk he won't like him as much either!

Family & Fun!

Jamie's family came to visit this past week! We had a really great time with them. Jamie got to do a few household projects with his dad. We now have a new screen front door, and a new tv in the living room. The old tv decided to wait until family was around to bite the big one! We went to the Zoo,Port Orchard waterfront, and Seattle while they were here. We also got all of the boys together and had their pictures taken (those I will post later when we get them). Jack was kind of grumpy this week due to him trying to get another tooth. He did however start crawling all over the place. He is a boy on the move, he goes everywhere now and likes to follow the dog. Here are a few pictures from the past week!

Lots of Lasts!

I know it's been a while since I've written, but we've had ALOT going on the past few weeks! Sam is done with Preschool, as you know. Now he's on to "real" school, it's really kind of hard to believe! He's really getting into reading these days. He's really proud of himself when he reads an entire book, it's really cute to watch and kind of funny when he sounds out some words, overall he does really well and i'm really proud of him. Tayler has a half day left of 7th grade then he's out for the summer. That's right he's on to 8th grade. Like when the heck did that happen? He is now officially taller than Nana and Aunt Joni now. He's very proud of that and he can't wait to be taller than me! He did rather well this year, I believe he's going to finish up the year with honor roll! I'm pretty proud of him and all he has accomplished. We had a few bumps during the school year this year but I'm pretty sure he got the message that we will NOT put up with bad grades and he did really well! Jack started crawling yesterday finally. After rocking for the past few months he actually had the forward motion going on! It's really cute to watch, but sad at the same time. I really wish some days were longer, he's growing way to fast. Before we know it he's going to be in school too!
I have my last MOPS (mothers of preschoolers) meeting this week and i'm kind of sad I must say. I really have a lot of fun with all of the women there and have really made some really fantastic friends there. I'm really hoping to get together with lots of them this summer!
So lots of lasts these past few weeks, we're moving on to bigger and better (I hope) things! Wish me luck on this journey of motherhood and pray I (and the boys) make it through without to many tears!

Sharing Pictures!
