Happy 3rd Birthday Jayden!

Jayden had a great birthday. Its hard to believe that our little boy is already three years old. We surprised him with a blow up house in the backyard for his party.

Thank you Nena for this cool scooter.

Daddy was sore the next day after throwing all of the kids up in the air. Here is Brayden being thrown.

Now its the birthday boy's turn.

Ella went high too.

To our surprise during the party, two ducks from the lake decided to come over and join us. This provided extra entertainment for all of the kids.

Mike managed to pick one up so the kids could pet it.

Well, of course that wasn't good enough for our little daredevil so he went and picked up the other one. He was so proud that he caught it.

First Live Concert - Johnny Rock-Itt

Tonight Momma and Daddy took Jayden for another "Jayden Day". We went up to downtown Edwardsville to a block party for Jayden's first live concert. The band playing was Johnny Rock-Itt (our cousin is the lead singer) featuring 80's music.

Jayden dancing and watching intently as the concert begins.

Ryan rocking out on the microphone. He was great!!

Memaw and Paw Paw showed up too. Here Jayden is being goofy with Paw Paw!

Bath Time Fun

Tayler and Hadley are really starting to enjoy bathtime.

Tayler enjoying his bath too!

All clean and ready to go pick up big brother at school.

Tayler in the Bumbo

They are still a little to young but we decided to try out Tayler (who is holding his head up pretty good now) in the Bumbo.

The best big brother ever entertains Tayler. Both babies just love to watch anything Jayden is doing. It is so cute!

First Day of School

Today was Jayden's first day of preschool. He was so excited that he was ready with his backpack on two hours before school started.

We took the babies to Nena's before Momma took Jayden to preschool and discovered that Aunt Shirley had found a double stroller for the twins. Of course, Jayden wanted to try it out.

Finally, we arrive at school. Within minutes Jayden has joined the other kids on the rug. He is so grown up!

The Art of Casting

Tonight Daddy took Jayden in the backyard to practice casting his new fishing pole. Jayden was so excited!!

Swimming at the Boerm's

Momma's friends Erin and Brett got a beautiful new pool this week so since Momma's time off is winding down we decided to enjoy it while we could. Jayden is getting very good in the water. Just recently he has tried to swim without his floaties (but he sinks like a rock) and he jumps in off the side by himself. We had a great time swimming while the babies slept inside. Thank you Boerm family for the invite!

Jayden's First Trip to the Dentist

Today was Jayden's first trip to the dentist. He did a great job and the dentist counted, polished and flossed his teeth. The dentist said his teeth look great!

Before they started...look at the look of concern.
