Ike and Ivy's first time shopping at the outlets
mom couldn't figure out why Ivy wasn't moving around...it was because she was put to sleep. Ahh Ivy's first trip with Grandma shopping.
Ike's first shopping trip...did he like it? Of course he did...he loves anything:)
Someone didn't want to be noticed in the Gymboree store (thanks Abby for making her incognito)
Boys having fun in the hotel. Patton asked, "mom can we move into a hotel?" It was a great trip to Colorado.

Tball fun for the whole family
An attempt at taking our first tball pic with all three boys. It will be fun to see this picture in the next years to see them all grow. Oh how fast they grow. It was just yesterday that we brought Kenner home. 
Kenner at bat. He earned several quarters this season. Daddy said that if he hit the ball in the grass then he would give him a quarter.
Kenner's biggest fan...Ike
Look at his game face

Praying for our friend Bob
This picture was taken the night before Bob left for Illinois for a week then off to Afghanistan for a year. We look forward to taking this picture in a year from now to see how much they have grown and most importantly to see our friend Bob again.Bob and his family have done so much for our family. Please take time to pray for both Bob and his family. He is going to serve a great mission, we just pray for his safety!
Fun with Grandparents
We are able to see our grandparents a lot and for that we are grateful! 
I have heard that the 3rd child rarely gets in pictures...I can see why. it is a lot easier to take pictures of big kids. i am getting used to getting Ike in more pictures. good thing the boys love their wittle brother.
I love how much fun these two have!
Great Grandma and Great Grandpa at a Tball game. How lucky is he to have them to see him play!

First Tball game
Kenner was able to play Tball this year. Thanks to my mom for outfitting both Kenner and Patton. She felt sorry that Patton didn't have a uniform, so she had one made for Patton. The look on Patton's face when he came downstairs with his uniform on to thank Grandma was priceless. He was so proud! These pictures don't do Kenner justice...as still pictures weren't able to capture the endless movement when out on the field. 
Kenner's shoes were too little, therefore Patton got his cleats before Kenner. Grandma Kenner brought Kenner's shoes with her to the first game. As Kenner tried them on in the dug out, he yelled back to Grandma Carlece, "You got it right Grandma. They fit." It was adorable.

Bathtime fun at Kenna's house
All 4 kids were in the bath at the same time. Crazy Aunt Kendra. The boys and I have been spending a lot of time at Aunt Kendra's house, because daddy has been there working to remodel their basement. It is finished now and ready for service. It was so nice to spend time with Kenna and Aunt Kendra.Cardinal Returns
The Beloved Cardinal Buzz Windshield returned after Easter. As my dad said, "It is fitting that Cardinal returned from what we thought was the dead after Easter." It is nice to have a ½ time kitty. We are sure he is getting fed somewhere else, so we only have to feed him when he comes and begs. Patton is in heaven!
May Day and lovin’ on Kenna
Not sure why I didn't document Patton's sting better, but as you can see in the picture…his eye was very swollen. He got stung by one of our bees while just playing in the back yard. He went to move a bucket that had water in it and the bee got mad as it was his watering hole and showed Patton who was boss. Kenna was dedicated on May Day, so she gave out May Day baskets…and the boys caught her and kissed her. We got our May Day baskets out this year…but they were a day late. It is always such a joy to see the boys take pride in loving on our neighbors.
Kenner’s Big DAY
Kenner and I had a great day. Kenner and I haven't had an only child day since the day Patton was born. Kenner had his Kindergarten Physical, special lunch at Culver's and his big Preview Day at Norris. I need to make days w/ one child more often. I had some great conversations with Kenner. What a great day!
