<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">We are semi-settled now into life in Chattanooga. I am still pinching myself over this fact: that I live now live in Chattanooga. Many days it still feels like we are just here for a long visit and that in a week or so, I will have to go back to Alabama. Now, Alabama isn't bad. I'm a big fan, but living in Chattanooga once again surrounded by family and friends was a dream that I had gotten used to believing may never happen for us. So I am still trying to wrap my mind around this dream come true. The other morning, I had taken Hudson to the back bedroom to change his diaper and had left the boys in the living room watching a video only to come back to find that my boys were sitting on my Mom's lap giggling with each other and swapping kisses and hugs. She was there, had stopped by on her way to work, just to get kisses and hugs from "her boys" as she calls them. And three nights ago, Alder asked me if he could spend the night "just by himself with KeeKee, JoeJoe, and Uncle Jes" and asked me to "call KeeKee to check and see if that would be alright." I did and he went. I can't believe these things are happening and I am oh-so-grateful! Jared is loving his job. Absolutely loving it and looks forward to a bright future there. Now, if we could just sell our 2 houses in Demopolis so we could buy our own house here and get really settled. I am posting the pictures of the before and after of our house we bought and renovated a mere weeks before we moved. I think it turned out pretty darn fantastic. If you are looking to own a house with the zip code of 36732 in wonderful Demop (its a 3 bedroom, 3 bath with a new kitchen), we would love you to buy 502 N.Main or our other house just right next door.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">You realize that as a family unit you have WAY TOO MANY socks. Seriously, how can 5 people have so many pairs of socks??? And how have I not known this until now? Gracious.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">One a more serious note.....</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I find myself composing this on the eve of our move away from quiet and sweet Demopolis to the embrace of home. Our original home. The place where Jared and I both grew up and the place in which we are excited to be able to raise our own children. But for the last 3 years, we have called this place home. 500 North Main Ave. It has been a wonderfully challenging last three years. We are stronger, wiser, simpler, and bit more calm in general after our time here in lower Alabama. It has been days full of long walks along the river, boat rides on the Tombigbee, adventures in house renovating, and focusing on just family, our little family. We have learned about the quiet things in life that make a day richer and that throwing a rock into water or stopping by the produce stand can be enough to fill a day. It doesn't have to be more. We have had the luxury of just having a singular purpose of raising a family unhurried by distractions that a bigger town has to offer and, at times, it has made me want to pull my hair out. However, I believe that these past 3 years have been a special gift. I would say that it has been marked by some real joys (do you see the 3 precious boys I have?) and then also filled with some real loneliness and struggle. Probably more of the later and so I feel as though tomorrow I will rise and gather my things and head to the Promised Land of home. Will we still struggle and suffer and have challenges to meet and overcome there in Chattanooga, of course. Always as long as we are on this side of Heaven, but I am proud to say that tomorrow I will certainly feel just a bit of pride as I look at how much we have "grown" as a family during this time. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Thank you Demopolis for the opportunity to do so. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Well, its happened. My Alderman has become a little hunter. He and Daddy went on their first dove hunt last week and Alder's first ever hunting experience. He has been so thrilled to go hunting he literally has been counting the days. I was trying to take his picture on the way to the car, but he kept saying, "Mama, stop. I have no time for you to do this. I have got to go and hunt with Daddy. I need to get in the car. Good-bye." That about broke my heart. When did he get this big???</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">He took along his cap pistol (which is in the picture below) that is at his side AT ALL TIMES around the house and I think after last week, he will always be a lover of hunting. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Gary Ezzo wrote in his series, "Growing Kids God's Way," that "a legalistic approach to parenting is very dangerous, leaving in its wake a frustrated child-one that fears failure rather than loves virtue."</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I have been diligently working in the recent weeks with my oldest boys regarding character and how important it is to not just have obedience, but how good character is essential. My sweet friend let me know about this lady who has created a list of Godly character qualities, charts, and other books to help with teaching and encouraging Godly character traits in your children. It has been great and even little Kingston is getting a lot out of it. We work up to about 10 checks a piece (and I work really hard at watching them and pointing out to them when I see them display one of these qualities that is on the list) and then when they have gotten 10 they can get something out of the Treasure Chest which is filled with little cheap nick-knack toys like stickers, books, marbles, play dough, paintable figurines, and so on. It so excites them when they get to pick out a treat, but really they love just as much standing and listening to me explain with a Bible verse whatever quality it is that they displayed. This has been a wonderful learning tool!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The info. for these charts is </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The Courtship Connection </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">(734-847-5210) if you want to order them for yourself.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I also purchased some ribbons to reward them with too that has the verse, "Let us not be weary in well doing" Galatians 6:9 that Alder really enjoys and the books, "Character Prayers," and "Proverbs for Parenting" both of which are great for quick references for Bible verses and to use as family devotionals. Also, I bought the book, "Child Training Tips" by Reb Bradley. This book is gold and should be read by every parent trying to achieve effective discipline and mature children. I just called the number above and spoke to the lady and she took my credit card over the phone and sent all of it right to me. Easy as pie. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I hope this helps someone else as much as it has helped (and is helping) our little ones grow. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">This perfectly captures my 3 right now. Alder, with a camo shirt on (counting the days until he can wear it to go shooting dove) and pistol in hand. He is using words like "suddenly", "difficult", "courageous", "dashing", "actually", and "freaking" on a regular basis. Hudson is smmooooshed between his two brothers that clobber him with their hugs and kisses. He could not be sweeter, but is proving to be a loud child already with loud screams of excitement and shrills of joy. Clearly his older brothers are rubbing off on him and the Wingfield genes are very strongly present. And blessed Kingston. He holding "Mmmmass" which is aka to the rest of talking world as, "Thomas." Kingston has no pants nor underwear on in this picture because he rarely keeps bottoms but is perfectly potty trained yet he cannot talk....at all. You can also see his busted chin that we super glued shut. I think application of super glue to some part of Kingston's body in now in the double digits.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I spent last weekend with my dear friend Hadley that I have known since I was 12. She lives even further south than I do and is expecting her first baby in January. I am thrilled for her and went down with little Hudson in tow to spend the weekend with her and help her register for baby items. We had a ball. We laughed, we ate, talked about nursing, breast pumps, baby swings, cribs, ate some more, lounged on the sofa while her sweet hubby literally waited on us, got pedicures, and retold hilarious high school stories. I love her laugh and I had forgotten how contagious it was and how nice it is to be in the comfort of an old and dear friend like her. I took this picture of this beautiful needlepoint that hung in the room I slept in. You know, its really true. There really is nothing sweeter than an old friend.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I failed to get my camera out until Sunday morning right before I was going to leave. Hadley refused to let me take a picture of her, but Hudson thought she was still a beauty even at 7:00 in the morning. They had been making goo-goo eyes at each other all weekend. Those two have a sweet little bond. Check out a real picture of her out <a href="http://hadleybinion.blogspot.com/">here</a> and all of her awesome talents too! She rocks when it comes to all things graphic design. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Alder is feeding the baby adequately enough, Kingston is (as always) in his own world, and the littlest man appears to be quite in love and content being surrounded by his brothers. These pictures prove that if left to do about as they please there probably would be lots of nakedness, lollipops, laughter, and only the best for baby brother (note the box of <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d;">organic</span> rice cereal).</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Kingston is obsessed with Hudson. Obsessed. In fact, he is so obsessed that his intense love for his younger brother often gets him in trouble. I mean the babe can only take soooo many kisses, hugs, and cuddles and its usually a good thing to let littlest man breath every second or so. Kingston smothers him with his love. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I took these yesterday after they had gotten up from their afternoon naps and they were snuggling with each other on the couch. Hudson by the way is about 19 lbs. and 5 months and Kingston is barely 25 lbs and 2 years old. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Do you see the sheer excitement on Kingston's face below? Every time he sees Hudson, its like he is seeing him for the first time EVER. I love brothers. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Jared turned 30 at the end of July and I wanted to celebrate him by hosting a SURPRISE weekend at the lake with a few of his favorite people. I found a house on Lake Martin and gathered everyone together for a fun filled weekend of laughter, stories, teak surfing, eating, lounging, latte making, swimming, tubing, grilling, and more laughter. I cannot believe I <b>got everyone together in the same place at the same time</b>. It was awesome. Jared had no idea where we were driving on that Friday and who would be there. He was totally surprised and thrilled. We, the Youssefs, Browns, Joseph and Beth, Mikey Love and Christine, and us piled into the house with 3 nursing babies and I can safely say that none of us wanted to leave on that Sunday morning. I feel like I don't have many pictures due to being distracted by all the laughing and story telling (and running around fixing food and so on) but several there that weekend had cameras and my dear sister-n-law has a great slide show at the end of this post. You should click on the link to her post and the slide show. Great pictures and hilarious action shots.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I am a <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">lover</span> of a good article because an article is all that I get around to reading these days. I love to read an article and have it evoke strong feelings of the love of literature that I have, but have no time right now to "invest" in. Like I have the book "Edgar Sawtelle" on my night stand (that my Mom loaned me and swears is one of the greatest books she has ever read) that I have picked up a baker's dozen times but can't seem to read due to being in the 9 month of pregnancy, or having a newborn baby, or 3 children aged 3 and under, or feeling instead that I need to read some book titled "How to Train Up Your Children (without beating them or selling them on the side of the road)" and so therefore I fall asleep my first sentence into the book and most likely with drool running down my face in two minutes flat. All of this to say that my latest love is Garden&Gun magazine. Its a literary jewel as far a magazines go and I have enjoyed reading it here and there when at my parent's house. Jared enjoys it as well and so for his <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">30th </span>birthday (more on that soon so <b>stay tuned</b>) my parents gave him two years subscription to this fine magazine. On the road last weekend, I read the May issue that my parents had wrapped up for him with a card explaining their generous gift. The May issue of Garden&Gun is a special issue for us native "Chattanoogians" as they featured our sweet and pretty darn cool town as one of their main articles. Anyways, my point of this post is <a href="http://gardenandgun.com/article/daniel-wallace-great-indoorsman">this</a> article that I found among the pages. Its hilarious, so very true, and if you live in Alabama right now (I am sorry Mom and Dad you do not count or any other readers hailing from the Tennessee mountains. I know its hot there, but you live on a mountain and there is a breeze. We haven't had a breeze since January) then you will love and laugh with this read. </span></div>

House<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">This little cutie of a house with the sweet, sun-faded 4 wheeler out front is our newest addition to the chaos in our lives.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">This house is right next to our house and we recently purchased it to renovate and then to sell or to rent. Jared and I love old homes. Actually love is a bit of an understatement-we adore and are slightly obsessed with them. Jared currently serves on two boards here in Demopolis that serve to protect, enrich, and rebuild the old homes in and around Demopolis. Well, we thought we would buy this one and transform it or rather get it back to its "original self." This house had been in the same family for generations upon generations and the lady who sold it to us was actually born in the front room over 70 years ago. Mrs. Lott had gotten too old and had not be able to keep up the house anymore and so we were glad to be able to buy it and fix it up. It needs painting, all new flooring throughout, a new kitchen, new bathrooms, lighting, and the list continues. So these last few weeks I have added a new title to my already demanding job: CONTRACTOR. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">No worries, I have done this before with our own house and so Jared and I are banking on our previous experience to get The Lott house restored. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I will say though it has added a new level of demands on me (and Jared too). I have painters ringing my doorbell in the middle of me nursing the baby. I have flooring guys knocking on my door while I am feeding everyone lunch asking me a handful of questions. I have a baby in my arms and my bigger boys racing through the house only coming back to me with "mudding dust" all over them or Kingston with a dead roach in his hand. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Its pretty much <b>craziness</b>. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I thought I would post <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13;">BEFORE </span>and <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13;">AFTER</span> pictures and give a little sneak peak on what it will (hopefully) end up looking like when we are finished. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The best thing that we do all summer is to go to "French Beach," as Alder calls it. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">We load up the boat and usually with friends, hot dogs, shovels, buckets, some towels, a card table and folding chairs, a lighter, some wine, and the ingredients to make smores. As we speed along the river in the boat the boys scream with excitement, reach back to touch the water spray, count the wild animals we see along the way, and help Daddy drive. The excitement has built and as we reach the sandy bank, I can hardly keep them in the boat. As I lift them down into the shallow water, I watch Alder and Kingston race away down the shoreline giggling and embracing this authentic place, the freedom, and the sense of adventure. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The Black Warrior is full of adventure and freedom and is truly an authentic place to be "raising" our boys. It is perfect for them. They bathe in the mud, swim in the dark waters, start fires with Daddy, collect sticks, and learn of the place around them. It thrills me that "French Beach" is a place that they can really be boys. A couple of times now we have taken along the wonderful Smith family and cooked out our dinner over an open fire, watch the children explore, and bask in the soothing effects of being by open water.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">A simple life...and young children.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">What a blessing.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">He even has mud on the left side of his face. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I have been slow. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I have been slow to write these last few weeks and I have no idea why. I think it has to do with the heat, the lazy days of summer, and the constant chaos that mothering 3 little ones bring. I am not getting the mail opened these days and it can sit on my desk for a couple of days at least. I point this out only because I remember when I just had little Alderman and our days were so slow that I would treat going to get the mail like an activity for the two of us. It was a block of time. We would go out to the mailbox, get the mail, I would sort through each piece, look at all of it, let Alder get down and crawl around the grass, we may even examine a bug or two. It was slow and simple. Now, I am just doing well to get the mail into the house, on the entrance table, and then get it, maybe that same day, to my desk area. Forget reading any of it though. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Life is still very simple. All 4 of us may lounge in our pjs till noon, watch a little video before breakfast, and enjoy these days when we don't have anywhere to be (summer or not) since none of them are school aged yet. It is a sweet time of playing with animals, building homes for them with their blocks, building train tracks, painting murals, and trying hard to meet all of their needs. This is where the chaos comes in as there is always a little one needing Mama to help, wipe, clean, guide, hug, comfort, encourage, discipline, and instruct. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">So I am slow to write and post snapshots of our lives. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Here are a few randoms from these last few weeks. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Hudson is literally growing at a rate that makes my desire to have at least 3 more babies very intense. He. cannot. be. this. big. already.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">He is adored by his brothers and most especially Kingston. In this picture below, as I had nursed Hudson one day (I feel like this is all I do with this baby boy. Nurse. Every 3 hours during the day), Kingsers came along and put all these stickers all over him. I am always having to peel Kingston off Hudson. He just loves him so intensely. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi30Qa_bQPKTW9oDmMFwxPuik1ABFNAbTntxtM9__GVfC9bAyUvTtmaojAqkmsZMrBHM5ygs8dQrWD9hu7McKyQS1HQp5RWrMaFoafOvznj7Ee9PwevAfo76UoFow0nxXjHyfU-MJzeWWA/s1600/IMG_7260.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi30Qa_bQPKTW9oDmMFwxPuik1ABFNAbTntxtM9__GVfC9bAyUvTtmaojAqkmsZMrBHM5ygs8dQrWD9hu7McKyQS1HQp5RWrMaFoafOvznj7Ee9PwevAfo76UoFow0nxXjHyfU-MJzeWWA/s640/IMG_7260.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">But who wouldn't love this littlest one intensely. Hudson is precious in every way. He is sweet, sweet, sweet and a darn good baby. He has stolen our hearts. Like last night after he and I had a shower together and he was laying all naked on the bed and I was admiring his cute little naked body with all his fat rolls, he just started laughing for the first time. He just laughed and laughed at my funny noises I was making to the point of getting hiccups. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Great fun.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">This is him watching his mobile in his crib. Happy as a clam.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">And do you remember this picture I posted back in early March? I think I was 2 weeks away from delivering Hudson and Daddy gave us a ride home from church in his truck. I think the post title was like, "You know you live in Alabama when..."</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Well, the other day Daddy had to be at church early and we came later walking and strolling.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">He was gracious to give us another ride home....</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">It had gotten too bloody hot to walk home and plus Hudson needed to be "initiated" into life in rural Alabama. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">*I have no idea why this picture turned out funny. My camera was on some strange setting. This was the best editing I could do on it*</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">the expressions on their faces pretty much sum them up right now in life.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">They are wild, crazy, have an intense zeal for life, funny, and are cute as pie. I feel like they try to be disobedient at EVERY OPPORTUNITY. What is with that? Alder and Kingston egg each other on and when I tell one "no" the other one thinks that means "yes" for him. Ummm, NO!!! My latest saying is, "If its NO for your brother than its NO for you too." They both swim like little fish in the pool and river, love the boat, the hose, getting naked, peeing outside, pouring sand on each others heads while playing in the sandbox, throwing rocks and other such hard things (no matter how much I may threaten their lives), pretending to "hunt" lions and tigers with their Nerf guns, practicing selective male hearing, and wrestling with Dada. They are ALL <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">boy</span>. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">It may be a month ago that we went to the beach, but I had to post it even though I am obscenely late.

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The weekend was filled with constant joy, happy boys, swimming, fishing, sand castle building, birthday celebrating, lounging, and eating great seafood. I think all 5 of us were on the beach maybe 2 times the entire weekend as the newborn still sleeps his days away and doing so on the beach is, well, too sandy to do so effectively. So I became the runner. I ran casting nets back and forth from the condo to the beach. I ran juice boxes and more sunscreen out. I ran extra towels and then became a sherpa and hauled it all back inside in the afternoons. Jared spent most of the time with the older boys on the beach having great bonding time with them. He would catch them fish and crabs and build sand castles and dig big holes. I felt at first that I was missing out, but then as I would walk down the boardwalk with more of whatever it was that they needed I could see that all three of them were playing so hard and having such a great bonding time that I no longer felt like I was missing out. It was great time with Daddy. And after all, sitting by the pool reading a book by myself and listening to the monitor (don't worry I could see both entrances into our condo from where the pool was so Hudson was safe inside by himself :)) or fixing lunch for my hungry hippos in the quiet of the condo was really quite nice. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">We celebrated Kingston's 2nd birthday at the beach. 2? Really? I am constantly amazed at how quickly time is flying by and amazed at how much I might sound like a old person every time I say this out loud. But it is true and I am really trying to enjoy each little season and stage of my precious children's lives for it will be over before I know it. </span></span></div>

Here is his hand trying to catch the fish as Alder watches overhead. This is not an unfamiliar sight as often I see this occur at home as Kingston fearlessly catches bugs and Alder looks on with sheer excitement but refusing to touch a bug himself.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Currently these are the life lessons Jared is trying to instill into our sons. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">He (and I) are determined not to raise...well, how do I say this? nicely? </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">We do not want to raise boys who become cowardly, lazy, and self-absorbed men someday. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">So Jared and a dear friend came up with these 5 little life lessons and what did Jared do? </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Typed them up, copied it, laminated it, and brought it home for the fridge.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">A little much? </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Maybe.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">But I would rather err on this side than any other. </span></div>

Today you are 2 and weigh 26 lbs. and are 33 in. tall. You are lanky and skinny as they come. You love matchbox cars, Lightning McQueen, fire trucks, tractors, trains, making train tracks, helping, your "blanky", pasta, good music, your older brother immensely, blueberries, blueberries in pancakes, riding fast, running fast, and climbing high. You love family. You are happy. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">It is a gift everyday that you are with us. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Happy, Happy! </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">(Please stop growing...it is making Mama sad.

A rodeo. Does PETA know about rodeos??? I mean, I'm not an animal activist by any means, but the "festivities" at this rodeo were rather unfriendly to the bovine family. Those poor little baby cows. It was, however, a very fun outing with the boys and they loved every second of it. Alder calls it "horse racing" instead of a rodeo, which in a lot of ways makes sense. Those horses fly! We were sitting on the bottom row of the bleachers at first and then had to move up because the horses would come racing down, turn right where we were sitting, and fling dirt up into our faces. Cool, but not fun for little kids to get dirt in their eyes. Alder now says he wants to "horse race too when he gets to be 5, Mama. Ok. Does that sound like a plan?"</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Sure Alder. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">And I cannot forget to mention about my little Kingsers. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">So at the rodeo they had these jumpy things. I am sure everyone has seen them, right? Well, Alder was wanting to jump. We paid $5 and when it was his turn, he chickened out. We asked Kingston if he wanted to do it and he smiled and hopped on. The man strapped him in (and he is totally fearless at this point and quite digging the cool harness, cords, and buckles) and he did it. He loved it until the man raised him in the air too high and then he panicked, but it was fun to see Kingston climb on, fearless as usual, and enjoy the thrill of something new and different. Thats my Kingsers.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNG7d5RioBNnV3wLtd5khRDyCOrHzbz_LlxAlDYK88nSLgA7VUzd_5uLVCzoeW5Afw_a2q8DzmdeDmPfljlz19aNCrHde6gdNDcdutu1oisFe06Ij8m4BYjMgw35mxTBGg83sv8eY6s1k/s1600/IMG_2847.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNG7d5RioBNnV3wLtd5khRDyCOrHzbz_LlxAlDYK88nSLgA7VUzd_5uLVCzoeW5Afw_a2q8DzmdeDmPfljlz19aNCrHde6gdNDcdutu1oisFe06Ij8m4BYjMgw35mxTBGg83sv8eY6s1k/s640/IMG_2847.JPG" width="478" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

This is just a copied image from the Internet of an old cover. I stumbled upon it the other day while at Wal-Mart and loved how practical it is and easy to read and how the recipes all just "make sense." Then later I remember having seen it on Darby's blog awhile back and her rave reviews of it. I must agree. I am thinking on subscribing. Apprerantly there is a t.v. show too???</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Inside this month's edition was a recipe for pasta primavera. I gave it a shot and it turned out wonderfully. I feed it to my hungry, hungry hippos and they loved it. It was a real treat to cook this while sipping a nice glass of white wine ( btw Fish Eye's Pinot Grigio is pretty darn good and only 3 bucks. I buy only cheap, cheap wine) and chop such nice fresh veggies with no children in the kitchen or a screaming newborn (they were building a train track with Daddy). You get to the point in your life where I am, constant chaos, and really treasure these quiet moments of solitude. It may only last 10 minutes, but those 10 minutes are heavenly. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzkRHYrjokxQ6bSUY3y2DLU7BANO48eDJprT7N9qibQl_IKrgxzm7p4EDfHUAJvV-U5j_bZXHl94kPpC38GH0nAD6QZqJA5pQenrWKRmlQOTcYg4UfnYc0NgFPDqgYdBwP9Op66tzD2aQ/s1600/IMG_7052.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzkRHYrjokxQ6bSUY3y2DLU7BANO48eDJprT7N9qibQl_IKrgxzm7p4EDfHUAJvV-U5j_bZXHl94kPpC38GH0nAD6QZqJA5pQenrWKRmlQOTcYg4UfnYc0NgFPDqgYdBwP9Op66tzD2aQ/s640/IMG_7052.JPG" width="426" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">These turned into this below. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Yummy. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I think if Jared could be convinced that he could make a living "brokering" boats, he would quit his job tomorrow and do so. He spends hours combing the Internet for deals on boats and is pretty darn good at it. Two weeks ago while I was in Chattanooga, he bought 2 boats and sold them that same week, making profits on both of them. Pretty talented, huh??? Anyways, we have one for the summer and the boys are loving it. We took it out the other night, I think it was Mother's Day night, for an evening cruise. Jared has taken the two older boys a handful times already, but this time the whole family went and Little One loved it as well. It is quite a handful to take all 3 on the boat, but we manage. Kind of. As you can tell from the pictures below, Alder is dying to "touch the water Mama, just a little bit. I won't fall in." Kingsers is panicked this summer by the boat unless someone is holding him (he loves the boat but we cannot figure out this new fear he has of the boat/motor/movement) and so that leaves Little One in the Moses basket tucked up underneath the bow. Safe, right? </span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5LTVBBkb_cGiMw8gRL6SmHcWWZHG-EzHiW4aUk-TAYhQ-9lu27grZucA7mCE1kqwTRqm49SJc4jAtkoZqrayqmdYz6yf32ppLsw_wh4YV6SROx6BvFyDdgZERpl3XXUy2g-EGg8WVve0/s1600/IMG_2822.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5LTVBBkb_cGiMw8gRL6SmHcWWZHG-EzHiW4aUk-TAYhQ-9lu27grZucA7mCE1kqwTRqm49SJc4jAtkoZqrayqmdYz6yf32ppLsw_wh4YV6SROx6BvFyDdgZERpl3XXUy2g-EGg8WVve0/s640/IMG_2822.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Just trying so hard to touch the water.

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Conrad Hudson is 2 months old today. Where is the time going? He is such a sweet baby and seems to have a very quiet and gentle personality. He is patient and cries only when he is hungry and tired (for the most part). He has slept through night a few times, but nothing consistent. I find myself not minding when he wakes to feed around 4:30 each morning since it is such quiet and precious time with him with no one else to bother our nursing time together. He has also survived some pretty brutal hits to the face from older brother KIngston who thinks, "I think that hitting is the best way to show love. I mean its how Alder and I show love to each other...by wrestling and being rough." I have to remind Kingston to have "soft touches." I must say this 1,246 times a day to Kingsers. Hudson is also "going with the flow" as most 3rd babies do. He must have gotten the "3rd baby memo"...be chilled, quiet, and easy. I would say that my first two did not fall into the category of being an "easy baby" (if there is such a thing b/c I mean really, what is easy about feeding every 3 hours, newborn screams, blow out poopy diapers, and sleepless nights?!?!?) I love having a baby again and kissing and kissing on him with no objection. He cannot push me away or run from me and sadly that is how old his older brothers have gotten. I have to chase Alder and KIngston down for kisses. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I can't quite figure out who he looks like and since my husband hates to play that "game," (Jared figures that all babies will look like a combination of their parents and sibilings because after all that is what they are. Thank you Jared for that, but it is so fun to guess and examine who babies look most like. Must me a girl thing) I just talk to myself about it.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I snapped these this morning (as bad as they may be), but I am determined to take pictures of him so that one day, even though he is the 3rd, there will be pictures for his rehearsal dinner video.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

Alder recently was insanely curious about my big Canon camera and wanted a brief tutorial on how to take pictures. I hesitated to show him and even let him take the pictures because, well, he is 3 and probably should not "play" with such things but he is Alder and has always had a love of things mechanical. I showed him the basics and then he experimented. He took about 10 pictures and these are 3 of those 10.

This is him smiling up at his KeeKee (my Mom). I am so grateful for him. He is unique and fun in his own little way. He loves to dig his toes into your stomach if you are holding him against your chest. He holds his head for such long periods of time looking curiously at the world around him. He loves to stretch backwards over my lap and reach his arms so far above his head. He is starting to coo and goo and laugh in his own way. He still loves to grunt like an old man and eats like a little piggy. He is 12lbs. 12 oz. and is 24 in. long. He is a big boy and falls into the 90th percentile for both height and weight. I love my little man. He seems to be very happy little one and we are so glad we get to love him.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXxMmtoxi6Z_kOf40BwO-M1Xabbs52Y8XfiH0raofRDgb2zZI12t1vCXtMkRySqKXABHy_EqpcX0JYATnpIYFQ6ywd7py_-OhDx-ZxtD5TfjyB5j9lI0OFcZHZkSn5lZIrVxXyC47GLoU/s1600/IMG_6877.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXxMmtoxi6Z_kOf40BwO-M1Xabbs52Y8XfiH0raofRDgb2zZI12t1vCXtMkRySqKXABHy_EqpcX0JYATnpIYFQ6ywd7py_-OhDx-ZxtD5TfjyB5j9lI0OFcZHZkSn5lZIrVxXyC47GLoU/s640/IMG_6877.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br />
