Random Picture Dump!

This is a picture dump of good'ns but randoms!

Crazy. He is crazy.

This kiddo LOVES my Sonic DP's....so now I have to get a large so that I get a little! He steals it, and I swear he has a SONIC CUP radar....definitely runs in the family! 

He LOVES hats!

A few weeks ago we went to the Dr. because Quin had a really high fever....the Dr. heard a heart murmur (FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER) so we got to go see the Cardiologist last week. They ran all kinds of tests, and the little patient was SO GOOD. I was so proud. Turns out when his little body grew so fast, his little heart couldn't keep up, so one of his valves has a small leak...which is causing the murmur. But the Dr. said it is nothing to worry about (Thank the Lord), and that it should fix itself in the next year or so! 

The boys while the new pool was filling up! They had a blast!

While at swimming lessons, I took a few pictures of Quin being content with his snack in the chair. While uploading them it took my breath away at how OLD he looks here. In my eyes, he's still my BABY...and he looks SO grown up here it just shocked me! WOW! This is also the day that I put one of Braidy's 4T shirts on him by mistake, and it wasn't really too big on him. I definitely have to look at tags now when folding laundry. Anyways, my baby is growing up and he is the sweetest thing under the sun.

I love this expression on his face. He knows he's cute....

Braidy holding his new cousin! He has been dying to hold him and finally got to! 

I looked back in the car and saw this the other day, and it melted my heart. Sweet brothers.

Braidy went with daddy last week to his softball game and INSISTED on wearing a pair of flip flops that were a couple sizes too big....and daddy texted me this picture on their way home with a message that said "He lost the fight". Poor baby. He was running and of course BIT IT in the parking lot. This picture looks A LOT worse that what really was, but it broke my heart. Really it was just a busted lip....poor baby!

We got a new pool last weekend and we have used it everyday since! Here are the boys enjoying an evening swim last week!

This is just a tease...but here is a sneak peek of Bowen's newborn pictures I took a couple weeks ago. As soon as my sister blogs and sends out announcements I will post the rest =) How precious is he!!

Swimming like a Shark!

             

This summer Braidy finally got to take swimming lessons with the one and only "Coach Donny"....who I've known forever! So fun, and what a fun teacher he is! Braidy LOVED "Coach Johnny"....he looked forward to it everyday, and was pretty bummed on the days we didn't have lessons. On our way everyday, he'd say, "Momma, I'm gonna swim like a shark!" and that he did! He did really good and actually swims by himself now. He can't quite get the arms down, but once he gets those he'll be in good shape! Right now he just kinda paddles under water, which works. He had 2 little buddies in his class, one of which was in his INFANT room at Hope Lutheran 4 years ago! So crazy to see them as little guys now, and not itty bitty babies. 

Here are some pictures of his adventures in swimming lessons!

Father's Day 2012

Last weekend we got to spend a whole day celebrating the one who deserves more than we're ever able to give him or show him....DADDY! The one everyone gets so excited to see once 5:30 or 6 rolls around. The one that works so hard for us all. The one that loves having 3 little boys. The one that lets his 3 boys help him outside with the yard or building projects. The one that is the glue that sticks us all together! We love our daddy! Here are the boys with their gifts and notes to daddy on Father's Day. The Lord really blessed us with a daddy who is a truly present in our boys' lives, and I know they will grow up to be Jesus-loving, respectful, gentlemen one day...and having a daddy like Ryan is a huge part of this!

    

John's an All-Star!!!

John's season with the Cubs has come to an end. They did really well in the end-of-season tournament but all good things must come to an end. He had an awesome season....he played pitcher and really learned the ins and outs of what a pitcher does! Pretty awesome to watch him get really good this season. Here are some pictures of their awards ceremony.

                     

Just as the season ended, we woke up one morning with a sign in our front yard....JOHN MADE THE WESTERN ALL-STAR TEAM!!! We were super pumped for him, and I know he's excited! They have a tournament at the end of the month and practice for a couple weeks leading up to that, but what an honor! It's a team of almost all of his "REDLEG" teammates, so it's fun for him to play with his buddies! Here is our All-Star. John, we are REALLY proud of you! You're quite the little baseballer!

Bowen is Born!

Our newest nephew, Mr. Bowen Barrett Stone was born on Thursday, June 14th at 12:07pm. He weighed 7lbs and was 20 1/2 inches long. He has stolen the hearts of everyone around here, big and small. It was a whirlwind of a few days, but we are so glad he is finally here, he is healthy, and now he's home sweet home! He is such a sweet little baby. Super cuddly, and really only fusses when he's hungry. Big brother Crockett is doing awesome and is SO proud of "Baby Bowen". We love you sweet B!

Pre-Baby Bowen!

 We are IMpatiently awaiting the arrival of our newest nephew, Mr. Bowen Barrett Stone. He should be here just any day and we couldn't be more excited! I know my sister was ready about 10 days ago, so come on B! Anyways, we took some maternity/big brother pictures last week and I thought I'd post them before he does arrive and newborn pictures are priority!! I sure have a handsome nephew and a beautiful sister!
