The Inside of Our New Car

So Mike and I got a new car (not a van) recently and it has more seats. We love it and this last weekend I got the chance to pack it full of kids and one of my friends. Here are the four kids in the back. You can just see Quinlan's foot, but he's in there. It mostly went great accept when we came home across the boarder and I was talking to the boarder guard, Ben decided to unbuckle himself. With our old smaller car I could have buckled him back in, but because he was in the back of the new car I can't reach him without getting out of the car and reaching in from the back. So I safely got him buckled and we had no more problems.

Yippy for more room and being about to do things with friends again. I also love how easy it is to bring Addison with us too.

Quinlan James, 11 months

Quinlan is 11 months old now and that means he is almost a year. He is trying to walk, loves to crawl and is starting to become frustrated when he can't do something. He is getting more and more character with each day that passes. I do miss the quietness of him before as he was adventures, but love the guy that he is becoming.

I have told a lot of people this, but I believe that Quinlan will be our first emergency room visit that has nothing to do will illness. He will be an adventure, always trying to keep up with Benard. We have been blessed by God with two adventures boys.

Our 'little' guy takes a soother now and he likes to get his bottom lip around the outside. Not sure how he sucks on it that way, but this is what he usually looks like these days.

Here Quinlan is with his new blanket from grandma B.

A few different Days with Addison and the boys

Here are just a few pictures of Addison and the boys on the days she comes over. She comes and plays with us twice a week while her mommy and daddy are at work.
This picture of Ben is after he was 'helping' Rachel and Ian one day in their yard. He fell down the outside steps just after they were all done and on their way to the dump.



I don't have any girls of my own so I love to do Addison's hair everyday. Here is one of the combinations I have tried so far.

One day after only being her for about two hours Addison decided she was done and wanted to leave. Here she is trying to get out the door. She wasn't crying or anything so I wasn't being mean, really.


The kids and the dragon hat. I did have a picture of Addison in it too, but it wasn't that great, so there are just cute pictures of her at the same time they boys were wearing the hat.
