Kylie is Off to Preschool!

Kylie started preschool yesterday-Yea! It is so nice for her to get away from her brothers and play with other girls. She was really shy at first(just like last year) but after I left, she did really well. Now I just have to wait until October for Ethan and Blake to start school. It has been a long summer and they are all so bored. I do miss them when they aren't home though, I crave the chaos! (Yes, Kylie wears that shirt a lot! I think it's so cute and Ky loves it)

Derek looks more like...

So Lucky

I am so lucky! Every morning, I get to wake up to this sweet face. Getting up in the morning is so much easier knowing that when I walk in to Dereks room, he will be so excited to see me. Derek still wakes up in the night time (this last week, it has been every hour due to teething). I know that it's crazy to say, but I really don't mind getting up in the night with him. I bring him into our bed and nurse him and snuggle with him. It's like our own special time, and being that he is definitely my last baby, I really cherish whatever time I have just to hold and kiss him. I am so happy that Mr. Boobers is mine!

Bowling!

We went bowling today and we all had such a blast! None of the kids had ever been before and they absolutely loved it. It was so funny to see them out there rolling the ball and watching it go so super slow! Blake threw the ball a couple times and I thought he might break the floor. Ethan did really well at actually rolling the ball. Kylie got the highest score by 11, which was a good thing. The whole time, I was praying that Ky would win because she is super competitive and it's really not the funnest thing to be around her if she loses. Ethan and Blake are such good sports! Derek just sat in his stroller and watched. It was a really great time, I can't wait to go again!

Complete Dysfunction

Today I wanted to take some photos of Derek since he will be 10 months old tomorrow. I decided to take some of the other kids too. It turned out to be completely dysfunctional! Derek wouldn't hold still enough for me to get any good posed shots, and Kylie was being super emotional. I got some good ones of Derek, but I had to take them while he was on the move, which is really tough! Ethan, Ky, and Blake were pretty cooperative. All of my kids were so cute though and I love them more than they will ever know!!!

Date Night

Saturday night my wonderful mom came and watched the kids so that Adrian and I could go out. We took Derek, because he is such a 'mommys boy'. We went to Corbins Grill and had steak. Dessert was my favorite. It was chocolate fondue with strawberries, bananas, and short cake. Derek was so good, he loves to go out and have Mommy and Daddy all to himself. It was so nice to get out. (Thanks mom!)
