so my sister jennifer had mention making some videos for my blog and honestly i had never really thought to do it. so i go to make a few of the kids last night and they went wild!! we must have made about 30 videos between them all. so i have tried to pick the best ones out for your viewing enjoyment...they are short clips, but there are three different ones, but i do have three kids so its only fair they each get to shine! i asked them to do their best tricks, what they would want people to see them doing on the computer and this is what i got: (now i know you need really good lighting to get a good video and you cant hold the camera side ways :-))
well i got the wrong one of jack posted, but its is still cute! i dont have time to correct the issue, i will deal with it later :)

Saturday Fun!!!
its was saturday and we needed something to do, besides play cars and trucks and trains....and kitties and house and all those things we do ALL the time....lets ge tout of the house! so we took our first mini road trip with all three monsters :-D. we drove to columbia, we went to the zoo! of course it was fun, it always is-gotta love the zoo pass! jack wore his super cute hat, courtesy of aunt jenny and william-with the alligators in spirit of the zoo! we all had super fun and it was great to get out of the house! ( but two kids talking is a lot to listen to for an hour and a half, it used to be hard to listen to eli, now its eli and cope, somethimes in synch sometimes not, sometimes just talking right over each other, sometimes a conversation...at some points one was crying while one was singing...then they would would switch....but of course once jack started to cry....they were both happy and loud and couldnt stop laughing and waking him up....i can only imagine what it will be like with three kids talking)

BubbleTime!
Jack has had his official first big boy bath! and of course he loved it, he laughed he cooed and he smiled! he got washed several times...once by mommy, big brother, and middle brother (daddy passed on it until next time, figured he had enough!) so kelly, jeffs sister, gave us this wash cloth called a bath luve and it is soooo neat. its designed to drape over baby and keep him warm while you are washing him, its like a big wash cloth, so it holds warm water and keeps the cold air off...he seems to enjoy it and it does keep him warmer than nothing....so thanks kelly!

A Quick Summary
its wednesday, its rainy, its cold and we are keeping eli home from school today! nothing like a little hookie with your kids to brighten your day :-) i dont have alot of time to update this but i will do what i can with the time allotted to me! jack is sleeping, again. and the boys have wandered into the playroom on some adventure, i am sure it will end in about 15 minutes. i wanted to give a quick update for those who do keep up with our blog! its not as exciting as some peoples, but i am doing the best i can! short and sweet, thats about all i can handle for now! so here we go....
cookie decorating
i made these for eli's school party, just how he wanted them, green with 4 marshmellows
Child #1
so my first born has turned four! amazing, its been four years. how incredible it is to watch a person grow and develop into a self sufficient person. so independent, so opinionated, so big! we had his party here at the house, the weather was beautiful! all his friends came over to play and got to run wild in the back yard! the boys decorated the cake, which is obvious! my sister gave me the idea, we went to costco and bought a plain white sheet cake with no decor on it...filled with chocolate cake and strawberry mousse inside! i made butter cream icing and colored some for both the kids, made little baggies and let them go at it! they had so much fun! at the party i made sugar cookies for each kid, had a few cups of icing with sticks to spread, some sprinkles of all sorts and the kids decorated their cookies- took them home in a box i made for them with their names on it (also an idea from my sister) we all had a blast. then we went to get pizza afterwards with the families that could still hang :-)
the car you see was jeffs contribution. he made it out of cardboard and spray painted it, so the kids could pretend to drive it and take pictures (eli got a new camera) it was fun and went with the "cars" theme to his party! its fun to see them grow into holidays, eli is actually very aware of what is going on with holidays and birthdays now, he is not just going with it...he knows whats up!
The Middle Child
So Cope is Cope...always will be. so carefree, so free spirited! not much to worry about in his life! doesnt mind jack, always eli's shadow! Well these days he is in swim class, twice a week i take him to mr.brantley! he also taught eli how to be a little fish last summer. well cope is in the three year old class and he is handling it like a champ, i tell you i think he swims better than some of the three years olds-but i am also his mom :-) he is jumping in by himself and going under water and he even swims around with his noodle kicking his legs and pulling with his arms! i am very proud of him, he will be ready for summer before it gets here!
CHILD #3
Jack is officially 7 weeks old today!!! jack officially has his first cold and it is very sad! i dont like when little babies have stuffy noses!! but beyond that he is great! when we took him at 5 weeks for a well baby visit, he was 9lbs, 8.5 oz and grew two inches taller. which is great because he had dropped to 8lbs 8oz by week two.....so we were very happy to see some weight gain.
he has officially made eye contact and given me his first smile and now he cant stop smiling and laughing, he has started to coo and make sweet little baby noises at us when we talk to him! he loves attention, of course what baby doesnt! he spends some time on his tummy and it makes him happy, he is trying more and more to control that big bean of his. he is sleeping about 4 hours at night, eating then going back to sleep for three more hours....so not too many complaints, he fits right in with our happy boys! we just have to get him healthy now!
