Boys never grow up!

We had a BBQ with some of our family friends this weekend. The group mostly consisted of the families of Jeramy's old high school friends, and it cracks me up that whenever this group gets together, it's like they are still teenagers in high school. The boys spent a good hour living it up as Rock Stars while playing some of their favorite songs on "Rock Band". I took a whole bunch of pictures on Jeramy's fancy camera, but most didn't turn out because he had the shutter speed set at some weird thing. I was pretty ticked when I saw how blurry most of them were, but a couple were salvageable so here they are.

Boys on the Boat

Saturday, Jeramy gave me a little break from the boys by taking them to the lake with our good friends. The boys loved the boat, swimming in the lake and riding the tube. They had so much fun and despite the sunburns, have all been continually telling me that "we really need to buy a boat."

Well, life has been insane this month, (as it usually is with a new baby in the house.) Sadie had a bad week last week. Her cold turned into two ear infections and a cough that made it so she couldn't breathe. She and I ended up having to go stay at the hospital for 3 days until she could get well enough to stop throwing up and breathe a little better. I'm happy to report that she is already doing much better and on the down side of this cold. It was really scary and sad to see such a little baby so sick, so we are all relieved she is doing better. Here are a couple more pictures of her.

She's HERE!

Cooper, Jackson and Sawyer are enthralled by their baby sister and love finally having a little girl in the family.

We are both doing very well, despite the sleep deprivation. She is adorable and we feel so very blessed that she has come into our lives. Thank you to all of you who have helped us with watching the boys, gifts and meals. We really appreciate all of the thoughtfulness and kindness that has been shown to us.
