We are Private Now.

Thanks for clicking the link to view our blog as we went private.  I still like to keep in touch this way, and I hope you will still keep up with us!  I haven't been the best blogger in 2013.  I hope to do an end of year post soon to get things up to date!  Here are some random photos in a random order!

Halloween 2013, Dylan was Nacho Libre, Sean was a cowboy and Max was an astronaut.  We live for holidays, although my boys don't always cooperate with a happy face for a family picture!

Ready for church on a Sunday in October.  Sean (2)

 I took Dylan's 9 month photos myself!  Here is a favorite.

 Baby Nacho Libre

 Some mornings we go "exploring".  We do have a little "forrest" behind our house and near our parking lot.  Max likes to make a treasure map and then tell his brothers what to do.  Before leaving the house to "explore" they always put on a few things from the costume box.

This was from August at Heritage Park in Irvine.  Some of our best buddies, this photo just makes me so happy!

 Max had his first "Primary Program" in church.  All the children sing songs and have a small part.  Max's part was "Heavenly Father sent Jesus to earth to help us".  He did pretty well, Sean had the part memorized too!  We were so proud, I loved seeing him sing the words of the songs, especially "A Child's Prayer" because I sang that song a lot when he was born.

More Halloween, at the church Trunk or Treat

My Dylan Luke, growing up so fast.  He is such a snuggly sweet baby.

Family Photos

Thanks Aunt Jessica for taking these photos for us at Crescent Bay Point Park in Laguna Beach

Sean's 2nd

Sean turned 2 in June.  I feel like I blinked and he is a big boy!  Here are some favorites from his special 2nd birthday.

We chose a PANDA theme - Sean loves Pandas.

He woke up to pancakes and a package from Grandma Wright.

The package included Cars 2 toys and a cool alligator balloon, Max helped him out with it, (I have to add that Max did so great of letting Sean have his special day and not getting sad that it wasn't his day)

Panda cupcakes!

snapped this of all three!  I think this is the only photo with them all looking at the camera!

We were going to do cupcakes at our neighborhood playground but it was being renovated, so we headed to the basketball court.  ALL these friends have moved now! We miss you!  Oh our life!

The next day we had a little family party.  Auntie Jess came and decorated our porch with the characters from Jake and the Neverland Pirates.  The boys were in awe!

The fam

Auntie Jess gave Sean this Panda from Ikea.  He had seen it there before.  When he opened it, he immediately hugged it and exclaimed "MY PANDA!" like it was a long lost friend he was waiting for.  

Grandma came too, with even more fun Panda toys, bath toys, and bubbles

And it wouldn't be a party without Uncle Chase playing the guitar.

Jared and I got him this little Noah's Arc set (complete with wooden Pandas!)  He had a happy birthday.  I love you Sean!  You are my little singer, mischief maker, and sweetheart.  I love watching you grow.  When you are happy it makes everyone around you happy too!

Dylan 6 months

 Can't get enough of my sweet angel Dylan!  He is so sweet and patient.  I savor my sweet cuddles with him, he can't disobey and I don't have to tell him "no" yet.  His smile gets me through the day!
These were taken in early July.
I put some updated photos of all the boys on my sidebar, these are hanging up in the house.

Three Littles

Well, I don't know what to say or where to start!  Blogging has been on the back burner with three littles running around.  I still want to blog about Christmas!  Hopefully I'll get up to speed.  For now here is a photo from Mother's Day. . .and I am on Instagram now too, find me, follow me!

In June Sean turned 2 and Dylan turned 6 months!  Sean asks to hug, hold and kiss Dylan every day.

Dylan's Blessing

Dylan was blessed on Easter Sunday.  It was a very special day!  I was really looking forward to it all month.  I posted on facebook but we have had it rough as far as sickness/dr. visits go.  As I drove Sean home from the Dr. today I tallied it up, 4 ear infections, 2 rounds of RSV, 1 surgery, and 9 trips to the Dr./Hospital in the past month for my kids!  Dylan was the one with the RSV, poor guy but hopefully things are looking up.  

We love you Dylan, you are such a special part of our family.

**I just have to point out Max and Sean's matching bow ties, they looked SO darling and they both kept them on!**

The Girl Next Door

This is Sean's little buddy.  He follows her everywhere, if 20 month olds can have crushes, then this would be it.  He talks about her at home, even when we haven't seen her for a couple days.  She likes him too but really is a good sport to deal with him following her everywhere and trying to hug/grab her all the time.  The other day, they decided to kiss on the lips!  Her dad saw it happen and said, "Sean, I expect you to take her to dinner before trying anything like that!"  

He really must love her if he lets her feed him peas!

My Sweetie Poo. . .

Dylan is an angel baby so far.  In this crazy life with three littles, he is so patient and sweet.  I could kiss him all day long.

Birthday Boy!

My Maxwell turned 4 this week!  I now have my Bachelor's in Motherhood, haha.  Love you big guy!

this is my favorite picture of Max from the passed year, August 2012 (3.5 years old)

Two Months Old

Dylan,

today you are two months old.  we love you so.  you are such a sweet little guy.  you are so patient and easy to soothe.  your brothers adore you.  your parents adore you.  we're so glad you are in our family.

Disneyland in December

Jared finally finished the quarter so we thought we'd go to Disneyland all together for the last time before we had a newborn.  

They go all out for the holidays!

Max FINALLY hit 40 inches.  I was noticing his pants getting a little shorter.  Jared and Max have been talking and talking about the "R2D2 ride" but Max knew he had to wait until he was bigger, well the day finally arrived!  After they measured him, Max looked at me because he wasn't sure what they guy said.  I told him, "he said yes!" and Max's face just lit up with excitement.  He and daddy dashed in line.

After the ride, feeling so proud

Jared realized Max could also ride Big Thunder Mountain now that he was 40 inches.  While they were off doing that, Sean and I met Woody and Jessie.  Sean was in heaven!

Jessie is his favorite and he walked right up to her to give her a hug.

We went over to California Adventure to ride the fast Cars ride, (can't remember what it's called) but the wait was 90 minutes (no thanks) but the boys were happy to meet Lighting McQueen.

At the end of the day we hopped back over to the Magic Kingdom for the Christmas Parade.

37 weeks!
