What We've Been Up To

I'm not going to tell you some pitiful excuse as to why I am once again a laggard blogger, but I will tell you that we've been extremely busy.



So, here's a quick update on Will.



Will is growing like crazy! He is active ... very active!



He also likes to eat. He's the best eater in the house.



Will is very happy and right now he is very much into his Mommy. He likes to know where she is at all times. If she's not around, Daddy will do okay, but he really wants Mama.



Nash is still our happy little guy.



He is sweet and likes smiles. He likes to get his way all the time. He wants to be wherever Reed is.



He is very much into monster trucks and cooking.



I think he could be a model, because he is adorably cute.





Reed is growing tall and so completely smart.



We would have pictures of him on here, but he currently hates the camera.



At least two of our kids will smile for the camera. Which, if you can't tell, these pictures are just more of the ones from the last blog.



The whole family is traveling again this weekend.



Abbey and the boys are going to Mississippi to visit family and to go to Ava's baby shower.



I'm going to my seminary alma mater to teach some classes.



Oh look, the elusive Reed appears!



Just don't expect him to smile for the camera.

Catching Up

When I first started "not blogging" everyday, I thought that I would be at least a little bit better at making sure I blogged every once in a while.





I really thought that I would be able to blog more than once a week.





To be quite honest, we're still getting into the groove of a family of 5 and so its been a bit difficult to remember the camera as often as we should.





We do a lot with the boys that is camera worthy, but we need to make sure that we have the camera with us. Probably the best way to see pictures is by checking out our facebook or twitter pages.





Will is growing like a weed. He gets bigger and bigger everyday. He is the best eater of our three.





Nash is learning more and more English and has perfected the art of selective hearing from Reedy. He is probably the most compassionate of the three.





Reed is our most "camera-avoidant" child (as you can probably tell from these pictures.). He is also our funniest kid. He makes us laugh all the time.





Last Sunday on the way to church, Reed said "Daddy, look at me, I'm Chinese." Not thinking anything was abnormal, I just sort of said, "Cool." He said, "No, look at me." When I looked, I saw Reed with his eyes pulled back with his fingers. Immediately, I needed to tell him that being that he was already Asian, it was not necessary.







Okay, that's all I can do for the evening. I've got more pictures. Maybe I'll surprise you tomorrow.

Dino-MITE part 2 (after a sabbatical!)

First of all, several of you asked where Abbey got the decorations from the party. She is as one of you suggested, an etsy.com junkie. She got them from Dimple Prints. The party invitation was completely adorable.



Getting a family photo should have been easy, right?



Reedy, a very photogenic child, doesn't really love to get his photo taken!

A fact that makes us a little nervous because he is going to be going to a photoshoot this week for a cover shot for a Sunday School curriculum.



Sweet little Will had a good time at the birthday party.



A shot of just the boys! Once again, the Reedster is not having the best day for photography.



Pop was worried that Will would fall off the chairs. He is very protective of his grandbabies.



Emma, Danny, and Megan came to celebrate.



Nash was too busy at this point to get good pictures of him.



Britton came and all was right with the world for Reed.



The Frey's were there with their big brood of boys!



Nash loves Hudson.



Nash loves to play in the sand.



Ellie took notes for her birthday party which was this past weekend.



Abbey made the cutest and tastiest volcano cake. It was brownie base with chocolate bundt cake. The little chocolate rocks looked so realistic. You can't see it in the picture, but I added my special touch of having a flame coming out of the volcano by using pure lemon extract.




Nash was excited to blow the candle out.



Nashy love cakey!



Uncle Bill assisted in the gift opening.



Kooper and Nash are about the same age. Kooper is double the size of Nash. Those Dossett kids are some big boys! Sawyer was born the same day as Will and weighs more than Nash!



Mr. Kevin took some time to hold Will while Carah supervised.
