MMMMM,MMMMM Good........

The reason for all of the "old" Pics. is because I am still waiting on Mark to receive the cord we need to transfer the current pics. from the camera to the computer. Our other one got lost. So, I thought I'd spend a couple of weeks going back in time. Many of you didn't get to see photos of the kiddos when they were young, so I thought you might enjoy it anyway. One hot Summer Day, I decided to give the boys a taste of the "Good Ole' Summer Time"! They weren't really sure what to do at first, than they quickly got the hang of it and totally LOVED it!!!

Corey just starting out......

Caleb being the silly boy he is, thought it was the funniest thing he'd ever seen.....

Connors thinking," Oh yeah baby more food!!!"

Then Caleb had to take a little break for some of his every day teasing...Doesn't seem to phase Connor a bit. He is totally zoned in on that watermelon!!!

"Hey Corey, what are you doin' down there?"

I tried to get one of those cute baby feet shots....Not my best for sure, but still cute.

This is Caleb of course....He truly cracks me up!!!!

Corey is totally savoring this bite....Notice the drip on his chin?!?!?!?!? I am looking back on all of these old photos, and it kind of makes me miss my little boys at this age. I feel like that time was so long ago. As crazy as it was in those days, I do have some sweet memories that will remained tucked in my heart forever!!

Being a Big Brother.....

Being a big brother comes with A Lot of responsibilities.....

You must teach your little sister the rules of football...

How to get all of the gunk out of the pumpkin..(Mackenzie's face is priceless!)

How to have fun in the good ole' Summer time...

How to drive a go-cart.....

Then along come baby brothers, and the list grows..... How to play video games....(Corey got his first lesson at 3mos. old!)

How to make the BEST fishy face....(Caleb is trying to figure out how he does that!)

How to dress very stylish...(Connor looks like he doesn't really care!)

And, how to read....(Corey did like when big brother would read to him!)

I think overall Mark has enjoyed being the big brother. He likes to teach his sister and brothers things he has learned...Sometimes they are not always the best things to be learning though according to mom! He has handled the responsibilities pretty well for the most part. It's not always easy being a big brother to 3 little boys the same age. There are many times he gets very frustrated with them and if I am to be honest he gets frustrated with his sister daily, but that is part of having siblings!

My Boys......Back Then

Oh, back in the day...These were taken when the boys were just getting use to sitting up. I took them out in the front yard for a little photo shoot and fun. I thought this photo was so precious of Caleb, so I decided to mess around with it a bit at picnik.com. I like how it turned out. I so miss his tiny little baby hands......

Here it is in color...

Poor guy. Mommy didn't even get him out of his jammies for his pictures.....

It doen't seem to bother him a bit...

Then there is Corey... Could you not just pinch those CHEEKS?!?!?!?!

This photo always cracks me up. Corey is fascinated with the ball, and poor Connor tumbles over right behind him.....

They almost look like identical twins here...This was the time when they favored one another. Now I think Connor and Caleb tend to resemble one another.....
AAAAHHHHHH they look so sweet....Notice Connor has a tiny leaf in his hand. What do you think he is going to do with it?

Yep, in the mouth it goes!!! Connor was always eating something!!! Corey looks away, "Nope mom, I didn't see a thing......"

Bucket Heads!!!!

About two years ago when the boys had just turned 2 we had a play day outside with the water table. Caleb found a sand bucket and being the silly boy he is, decided to put it on his head. Corey and Connor had to join in on the fun, so they grabbed my planter buckets off the patio.-Dirt and all!! This is why I think taking pictures are so important. I would not have remembered this "ordinary" day, but when I stumbled upon these photos, the memories of that day came flooding back to me.....

Connor

Corey is crackin' up!!-Look at the dirt on his bucket...

Not sure where Caleb wondered off to.....

My Three Sons......

Corey such a sweet shot and so typical him. Nuthin' better than his thumb and good ole' blankey......

Connor Boy, my middle man and also the one I can always count on to get things done. A couple of weeks ago, I had the Swiffer out cleaning the floors. Connor didn't nap that day, so he was observing me mop the floor. He says, and I kid you not "OOOOHHHH mom I like dat. Can I have one of those for Christmas?" L.O.L

Than there is Caleb. My funny one. Who is into acting silly for photos now. He'll do anything for a good laugh...

I caught this shot of Connor and Caleb looking through the fence at the neighbors dog. I thought it was too sweet. I really like how the edited version turned out...it gives it kind of a vintage look.

Silly Silly Boy......

O.K. so I'm outside last week getting photos of all the kids for the blog. I of course had none of Mark. "Mark let me take your picture for the blog." At first it's "No Mom!!!" Then he stops and gives me a great smile. I'm not sure what happened next, but his face started to contort in all these different positions. I guess he's more like his father than I ever realized!L.O.L.....

Gotta love that boy!!!!!

He Shoots, He Scores!!!!!!

Caleb was out "shootin' hoops" last week, and I was able to get some really GREAT shots!

Look as he watches in anticipation to see if he's going to make it or not...

In it goes! Even the ball is smiling!!!

Sweer victory!!!-Gotta love the hands raised in victory..... I know that Caleb already has a passion for sports. He is so good at whatever he tries.-Much like his older brother. I think they will be good competition for each other as Caleb gets older. It's so great to see how he really tries to keep up with Mark when he is out shootin' hoops. He tries to mimick a lot of his moves.-It's just too cute!! It'll be exciting to see what he does with his God-given talents.....
