Uncle Jared and No Chuckin' in the Truck

I have been working hard to try and get more posts up but my phone has been weird. I upload all my pictures from my phone and then save it and then later type things out at home. And it just hasn't gotten done. Oh well.

Max got into Jason's side of the closet which has this massive nurf gun. We haven't had it out in a while and most of the bullets have disappear but that didn't stop Max from trying to get me. Which he didn't.
Levi has been working on Geranimo Stilton series (I forgot the name of the series within the series). Oh well. He devoured it in 2 days. I still can't believe this kid is only 6 1/2 sometimes.
This was our family night. I believe it was my night. Right now when it is my week to plan it I try to keep it pretty simple. A lesson from The Friend or something I feel we need to talk about then for the activity I have kind of decided to do games, because Max totally needs some practice taking turns and losing gracefully which he does not do at all, and then soon hopefully get started with activities outside like going for walks, playing outdoor games and such. It's simple but gets the job done.









Mr. Davis is growing and growing and the bassinet was getting much too small for him so I crossed my fingers when I was about to put the pack and play into the bathroom. Ghetto I know but I'm not quite ready for him to be in with the other boys, Jason says no way for the office (that and the fact that it is a disaster which is all me), Davis has also been waking a bit in the middle of the night thanks to teething and being sick so I have to have more awake feeding time with him so keeping him in the bathroom just seemed to make sense. It's quiet, out of the way during the day so he can get some good naps in and he's still close to me at night. We'll see how long he ends up staying in there. Also I haven't posted bathroom pictures yet but you can see the floors and some of the rest of it. It is seriously my favorite room in the house, so pretty in my opinion. Only one or two more finishing touches then it's all done!
I think Max has been going through a growth spurt lately, he's been doing a lot of napping or when he doesn't has been needing a nap more than usual.
One day it was taking me a minute to get to Davis after he had woken up from his nap and I found Levi in there singing him a song to help calm him down. "5 brown buns in the bakery shop, big brown buns with the sugar on the top. Along came a man with a penny to pay and he bought that bun and he took it away." My grandma taught it to him. It's so cute to watch.


I know this may be TMI but I love breastfeeding. It can be a huge inconvenience sometimes and you can never be too far away for very long but it's is some nice mommy baby time. Right now he has been very into his feet, even when he's eating. It's quite hilarious.
Levi wanted to read to his little brother.
Work has been going well I think. Things have slowed down a little bit but I don't mind for the most part, though I do have $ goals I try and meet. I really really want to pay off the van as quick as I can.
We have been pretty good at going to the library every week and this time both boys made a beeline for the Star Wars, Lego and Super Hero books. They know exactly where they are and this time they cleared out almost all of them.
Davey loving his Jumparoo. He's been getting very into it lately.
Brooke and company were going to be moving so I offered to take her kids so she sent Cameron and KJ over to play for the day. The boys quickly got into the costumes and played outside. Ok, I threw them out there. KJ would have nothing to do with it so she stayed in and colored.







Then after playing a bit at our house I took everyone to McDonalds to play. They loved it, of course. Though I did had to ban them from this dome area. It was the old ball pit area but now has a mat. Anyways, all their fights seemed to happen there so I banned them from it. That solved the problem pretty fast.














Me with Davie. I have been loving the carrier and use it to get him to sleep when I know we won't be home for nap time, works like a charm.To smile or not to smile........


Then while we were there I got a text from a friend of mine (a mom to a friend of Max) who wanted to go to Pump it Up Jr. with him so to kill some time we went to Krispy Kreams right accross the street. I don't get to be around my neices or nephews much so sometimes I just spoil these guys.



And sprinkle ones for my guys (of course), a filled one for Cam and pink one for KJ (of course). Then after they were sugared up I gave them back to their mom.









Max found one of the first flowers that bloomed and wanted to give it to me. He showed me how it twirled and how it could fly.
After Levi finished book one in his series I reserved book 2 which came in so I made a special trip just with him where we could spend some more time looking at books. We got a lot and he could put them down.
Davis and his chew toy.
A couple of weeks ago my brother asked me when he could have the boys over for a sleep over and we arranged a Sunday night and decided Max would just miss school. They were very excited as they should be. They ate pizza, hot dogs, went to the park, got to watch crazy amounts of Power Rangers, got to sleep with Barkley (his dog), went to an arcade.

Here they were right before heading off to Portland (where he lives)











Jared is a fun uncle, he'll make a great dad one day. One thing they still keep saying that they learned from him "No chuckin' in the truck!" He has a huge truck and Max won num chucks at the arcade and then started whirling it around hitting him so now they love to say it. 
 
A picture he sent me while they were playing at the park with son of a friend of his. He also sent me some sweet videos of them on his mixer (he's a dj) playing records and dancing.
 Then while they were gone Davie got some quality time with Nese. She's a good snuggler.
