Yo, Ho! We Love Some Dough(nuts)!

Avast!! Today is "Talk Like A Pirate Day" and it's one we look forward to. Beyond being silly, it means that Grandi will get up early & dress up to score some free Krispy Kreme doughnuts...and then bring them to us! What?! It doesn't get much better than that, mateys!!

Big Bow Daddy

Hayden Kate has a habit of pulling her bow out & throwing it down. After a few times of replacing it, we usually find a place to stick it. However, we think Daddy's head may the best place of all. His name IS Bo, after all!

Birmingham Birthday

This past weekend, we headed to Birmingham to celebrate our nephew Jack's upcoming birthday. It was kinda a celebration for everyone, since Jack's birthday kicks off all 6 cousins' birthdays in just over 2 months of each other.

We played at the nice shaded playground, enjoyed some yummy food, took in the amazing weather, and had a great time together! The boys were all pretty exhausted by the time we headed home, which is always a sign of a good time!

Just The Stats, M'am

Hayden Kate had her 9-Month well baby checkup on Friday, and she's growing like a weed. She's 28.5 inches long & weighs 19 lbs 13 oz. She's healthy, happy, and cute (not our words...the nurse said so)! 

Sick Of It

For the past week, we've been battling some yucky viruses around here! First it was a tummy virus that ran through all three kids. That was awful, since two babies are still in diapers. We literally couldn't change them fast enough! And it dragged on for days & days. Harrison had it first, then HK, then Hampton. 

As we were enjoying that, a respiratory virus has been attacking all of us. Poor Hamp was the only one to have both at the same time, and he was pitiful! Tanner got so sick one afternoon that she had to call in Grandi for help & Bo had to cancel soccer. 

Luckily, we seem to be on the mend now, with the only one really suffering is Hayden Kate. We all still have sniffy noses & coughs that sound like we've been in a mine shaft, but we think we're going to make it! 

It's been a week of Kleenex, pajama days, no school or activities, and lots of movies. We are so thankful that we recorded all the Disney movies that were on over the weekend, because we've now seen Brave & Tangled enough to sing along with the songs!

Soccer Kickoff

Hampton is playing his first year of soccer this year, and somehow Bo got roped into being the coach. Last week was the local sports kickoff, which included peewee football, cheerleading, and soccer. They introduced each team, including us...Team Awesome Fire. The kids named us, and it's doubtful we'll live up to the name once games start. But hey, everyone will see us coming in our neon jerseys!

Of course, Hampton had to fall right before they went on stage, and he wasn't satisfied until he had some big bandages to show off!
