Happy Five Years!!

Five years ago this weekend, Jason and I got married. It was a gorgeous weekend with family and friends. He danced (I use the term very loosely).



I drank too much champagne.



We laughed until we cried.



We promised to love each other forever.



I love you! What a crazy five years, I cannot wait for another 50!

Monkeys Jumping on the Bed

I was catching a little nap when Oliver woke up and wanted to snuggle. How could I say no to him? So... one little monkey jumping on the bed.



Then Bates decided to join us. So... two little monkeys jumping on the bed.



Then Jack. So... three little monkeys jumping on the bed.



Okay - one more photo. Check out Oliver's big belly!

Happy, Happy Birthday Graham!!!

We went to Graham's birthday last Sunday. It was a gorgeous day and it was so much fun to spend it with friends. I was sitting in the shade feeding Oliver a bottle and I saw a funny mass of parents with cameras and cell phones taking pictures of this group of little men. I wish I had the camera to capture the stunts and silly faces the parents were making trying to get them all to smile! From left to right, Jake, Andrew, Bates and Jack. Happy Birthday Graham - we had an awesome time!





Graham did not get to join the picture - he was having a big time though!!!

Shirtless in Atlanta

Sometimes it is just too fun to strip off your shirt and run screaming down the halls....

Mommy, I am so Sleepy!

Jack loves to swing, but sometimes he gets really relaxed and gets a little sleepy.




"Mommy, I can't keep my eyes open any longer....



and he's out!

Daddy & Bates

Look at these two handsome men! Aren't they hunky?!



Look at that face....



"Oh Mommy, Can I try this one?"



"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" (Bates and Jack both have gone down this slide before. They end up head first and full of static.) I think this slide is from the 70s where safety was a little loose.

Yes, please - Mommy needs!

Why, why do I have this problem with shoes? This gorgeous pair is by Kate Spade. I would take one of everything in her new fall line (if I had the money).

Sunshine and Baby

Oliver loves, loves, loves to be outside. He also likes his baby carrier. At 16 pounds, it is a workout to walk him around the park.



After all that sunshine, he gets very sleepy...



Okay, I know he is mine, but he is the most precious thing in the whole world!

Saturday - 6 am

Bates got up really early Saturday morning and wanted to play. He wanted mommy to get in the laundry basket with him and play like we were on a train. I love to play, just not at 6 am. Mommy is not a morning person...please excuse my glamorous morning look!

Bates loves Greek Food!!

Bates adores Greek food. His favorites are falafel and tzatziki sauce (cucumber yogurt sauce). He loves it so much sometime he can't eat it fast enough....

I love Cheerios!

Okay, look closely. See the precious little boy off to the left - he and his mother were the sweetest things. "Q" was wearing a precious tee shirt that said "I love Cheerios!" Too adorable. I want that tee shirt for myself. In fact, I think General Mills should give moms one with all the Cheerios we have to buy. Time to search the internet for the adult size....

Big Brother's Playing at the Park

After the boys finished their lunch, they played on a new playground. It was super fun with tons of things to climb and many different slides. They boys had a blast. Oliver watched all the fun from the Baby Bjorn!

Happy Birthday Jordan!

On Sunday afternoon, we went to Hammond Park to celebrate Jordan Spindel's Birthday! It was sunny and warm and just the perfect day for pizza and cake at the park. Oliver was his usual cheery self and was content to watch his big brother's dig into the yummy cake....



I think Jason is stealing a bite of Jack's cake after distracting him with the old "look over there."



Isn't it funny how much they look alike?



Sorry there are no pictures of Bates eating cake because he is sitting in my lap. He did enjoy a large slice of pizza & cake, though. Happy Birthday, Jordan!

Rice Cereal is Gross!

Oliver is getting so big and is waking up a bit earlier because he is starving! We decided to pull out the rice cereal with a little banana. He was pretty excited watching the preparation....



He was not so pleased with the taste, but did take about 5 bites. Of course, Jack and Bates wanted to taste the cereal. Bates liked it (he is nuts!) and Jack said it was gross. So excited that it is almost time to start making baby food again!

Oliver is Getting Big

Oliver always has a sweet, big smile ready for me in the morning. He is a dream baby - I love every inch of him!



I made about a thousand photos of Oliver before I had to return to work. These were some of my favorites!

Brotherly Love!

The boys were acting goofy and silly the other morning. They kept hugging and kissing each other - very sweet! I know their hair looks very crazy - I cut it this weekend and will post pictures of the finished product. They did awesome and were very patient with mommy. It is amazing what a little Elmo television and gummy bears will do.

Uncle Chuck and Aunt Jessica

Uncle Chuck and Aunt Jessica were married one year ago in a beautiful romantic ceremony. I was pregnant with Oliver at the time but did not know it! These precious photos are from the Fourth of July visit. Oliver loved, loved his Uncle Chuck and Aunt Jessica.

Oliver's Two Week Appointment

Jason and I took Oliver yesterday to the doctor for his 2 week check-up. The doctor wanted to make sure he had made it back to his birth weight of 6 pounds 15 ounces. Well, the little piggy out did himself... he weighed 7 pounds 13 ounces. I, of course, decided their must be something wrong with him. The doctor assured us that he was perfectly fine and doing incredible. This is hard to get used to for us. We had to force every ounce of food for the boys for at least 3 months - Oliver is easy. He eats all the time. It is so wonderful to have a happy healthy baby!

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day to my dad and my husband! Two of the very best dad's in the whole world. I love you both so much!

Oliver Rigby Eden

Oliver entered the world on June 6, 2010 at 9:25 am. He was 6 pounds 15 ounces and 19 inches long. He has thick blond hair and blue eyes. We are still not sure who he looks like - he changes everyday. He is the best baby. Rarely ever cries, except for diaper change time. His big brothers have been incredible with him. They are so gentle and sweet. They love the touch his hair and look at his toes. He is already a sleeping champion. He sleeps most nights from 10:30 pm to 3:30 am. Then back down again until 7:00 am. Oliver likes his sleep! We fall more in love with him everyday!
