Photos from the phone...

I finally got the photos off my phone today. I thought with the icloud it would sync them like it does the calendar or anything else but so far...not so much.  :0)  So these are in no particular order but I sure do love having a camera and video camera in my pocket at all times!  It had been a month since they synced and I had just under 300 pictures and 20 videos...if nothing else their childhood is well documented in pictures! 

We cut down the magnolia's and red tips at the back of our yard a few weeks ago.  They had a parasite of some sort that has been working on killing them for the last two years and so now that they are gone we are going to have plenty of room and sunlight to garden here at the house this year.  I am VERY excited!!  

The boys are wonderful at helping drag and stack limbs and they LOVE a fire so that is more incentive to make a really big pile.  The day we cut we didn't have time to burn so they decided to make a see-saw from one of the limbs.  That Magnolia tree is the same one Ty climbed so high in last year and it is still lots of fun apparently.  We did have to discuss not jumping off without telling someone...or your brother will hurt himself...and don't rest your chin on that pointy tree stump...or it is going to stab you when you go up and down...etc.  The new see-saw provided hours of fun for days!!

Jake wanted in on the action...he thought he was supposed to pull limbs too!  He would only grab onto the ones that were WAY too long for him to drag and then instead of heading to the pile he went towards the woods.  Ty spent a lot of time trying to teach him...

Brock after his first Upward game.  We went to Zaxby to celebrate the big kids both getting great report cards.  

The night we brought Jake home...there was a lot of fighting over who's turn it was to hold him.

I love this picture of Haley holding him.  She is going to make the most wonderful mother one day!  

Uncle Matthew turned 21 the beginning of January.  I cannot believe he is that old.  He is such a wonderful young man and he is so great with the kids!  They are absolutely a fool about him!

If you were to drive by our house during, the day during the week, there is a very good chance this is the sight you will see!  If we have a break between subjects, before school, and after school she is outside with her babies!  She loves the dogs and she is so good with them.  In case you can't tell in this picture at 6 weeks old Jake was the same size as Cocoa.

Ty with his spikey hair before he got out at school.

Jake at 8 weeks old.  He is bigger than Cocoa now.  This was his first day with his collar on and he is doing really good with it.  As far as I know he hasn't even gotten shocked by it yet.  I put the flags up around the perimeter again just in case but he is doing great with it!

Okay, one of my most favorite things about Mothers day out is when you pick them up in carpool line you never know what they are going to be dressed up like... this is one of the times I really love having a camera on my phone!  It was groundhog day in case you didn't guess that already. How cute is that!?

This was during weather week...my little sunshine!

Haley and Jake, she is going to be so shocked when he is too big to fit in her lap anymore...

Ty ready for school.  He looks so grown up with his vest and travel cup!

Circus week at school...my little elephant!

Ty and Sawyer playing Temple Run on the floor at Granna's.

Ready for bed and watching tv.  This is one of the rare moments they are not wrestling!!

Uncle Brad turns 23 this week but we celebrated his birthday with him yesterday.  I won't say it again I just feel old with all these birthdays!!  The kids were so excited about going to see Uncle Brad and made him homemade cards.  The kids are really missing their weekly Uncle Brad visits since he has graduated! None of us were ready for him to go back to Birmingham.  He is so good with them and they love to get all hyper and wild with Uncle Brad!
