March 6th – A Year Already!

I can”t believe that it’s already March 6th.

Happy Birthday, Jack Man!

My nephew is 1 year old today. How cool is that?

It’s hard to believe that it was a year ago that my sisters and I were pregnant together and we had no idea what was on our horizon.

I had the cousins over to my house the week before last. We had Michelle’s 3 kids and Debbie dropped off Jack and between us all, there were 9 kids in the house….3 under a year. It was wonderful chaos.

Then my sisters left and Jon and I were left alone with ‘ALL THOSE KIDS”.

It’s really not that bad because the older 5 kids are all 10 and older and so it’s not like they require intense supervision….just a holler out here and there. There’s Josiah and the babies to watch and as long as the gate is up….we’re golden. They just crawl around on the main level and play with all the toys. If I occasionally throw them some food bits, then they are more than happy.

I tried to get a picture of the three of the little boys and well……I wasn’t as successful as I had hoped to be.

I think this next one was the best of the bunch and it’s not that great….

Being the oldest and the most responsible, Jack’s just had to do a quick butt check and he was happy to report that all was clear. That smell must have just been some gas or something, but Judah totally blamed it on Zach…

The girls had been helping to distract the babies and then they left…..

Jack crawled off to try to find them and that left the two boys….Zach had a rice cake he was muching on and Judah was quite upset that he didn’t have one. Here he is voicing his disapproval.

Judah: “Hey Zach, You don’t mind if I have some of that cookie, do you?”

Judah: “Look, Just hand it over and no one gets hurt.”

Judah: “Wise Move, Dude! Wise Move.”

Judah: “Man, I love these things”

Zach: “What Just Happened?”
Judah: “Yup, I can still fit an entire half a rice cake in my mouth. I’m so amazing!”

Jack got a little upset at Judah for stealing Zach’s Rice Cake….

But he quickly mellowed out when I told him that I had extra rice cakes for everyone.

Zach was pretty happy about that too.

I tried one more time to get a good group shot….

Judah was pretty happy and Jack seemed either mesmerized or traumatized, but Zach wasn’t exactly happy about that creepy looking Uncle Jon who was trying to get the boys to smile.

Either that or he was just upset that Judah kept crowding in on him…

And then he lost it…..

So I grabbed all three of the boys and we had a quick snuggle.

I sure do love these little boys!
