Hitting the road!

Hello all! Hope this finds you all doing well and enjoying the beautiful spring weather. It is so crazy that 2 weekends ago it was snowing and this past weekend was warm enough for shorts and tee shirts! We are definitely a warm weather family and are so excited for warmer and longer days!

It is now past midnight and officially Mathis' 3 month birthday! It is so hard to believe that he is already 3 months...it seems to have flown by! He is so chunky and cute and a pretty happy baby, as long as he is fed right on time! I am sure he is at least 15 pounds and is consistently sleeping through the night (from around 9 or 10 until around 6am) which is so wonderful! He has also become quite good at getting his left thumb into his mouth and putting himself to sleep. Today he knocked himself out while playing on his play mat...check out how he was holding his left hand in with his right! And check out those "rubber band wrists"...he sure is a roly baby! :)

Our big boys are doing great too...though Tanner has had a tough time shaking a cold and it seems that it is back about every other week or so! True to form, he doesn't let it slow him down too much and just wants to snuggle more...which is fine with me! He is still totally into the baby and will at random times come up and say "I love my baby"...it is so sweet! Landon had his first game last Saturday and did really well! His cousins Scott Patrick and Noah rode over with Grandmommy to watch his game and I'm pretty sure he was more interested in them than the game once he realized they were in the stands! I don't think he could wait til the game was over and he could see them! After a team lunch, we hit the road to Marietta to watch the boys' first game and then cook out at Scott and Lisa's with their family and Grandmommy and Grandy...so fun to watch the kids all together!

At long last, tomorrow we leave for Siesta Key!! For those of you that know what beach bums we are, you will know that not having visited a beach since last June was REALLY hard on all of us! :) Actually, we are heading to Orlando first and are going to Sea World on Friday and then will arrive in Siesta Key that evening late so we can wake up and be out on the beach early! We are all really excited! It is incredible to me how much stuff a family of 5 "needs" for a trip like this. We bought the van so we'd have more room, I think we just bring more stuff! We had to make a few purchases since it's been a while since we had a little one on the beach. One was a beach cabana so Mathis will be able to be shaded since he is really too little for sunscreen (although, I think I am going to use it anyway...just to be safe). The boys have had a really fun time breaking it in in their playroom! They are really looking forward to camping out in the backyard once the weather is pretty!

Anywhoo, we will look forward to sharing our trip with you all when we return, but for now, I've attached a few recent photos! Take care...and Happy Birthday Grandmommy!
