May- Griffin is 5mths!

As usual, a month late, but better than nothing.. Griffin is growing SO fast!! He's getting to be such a big boy rolling, eating foods, and is so animated and cuddly.  He moved to his bed and loves it, we all sleep much better!  He sure loves his big brothers and any attention they will give him, they are a close second to his most fav person...MOMMY!!  he's sure knows how to light up a room with that big 'fish mouth' smile of his.  Presh!!

Yummo, trying some peas, my first food!  Got it on my toes!

Not sure what i think quite yet

I like daddy's hats

LOVE this jumper ,big brother is helping me try out buttons

Here are a few 5 mths pictures in one of his month ties.. he's trying to sit up, and has hilarious expressions, I am SO in LOVE with this boy!!

the cackle, such a hilarious sound

Sweet big boy!!

slobbery bob, LOVES being on his belly!

CHEESE.. love those rollie lil marshmallow arms and that big open mouth smile makes me melt!

YO YO, word UP, another gansta pic..this is getting to be a monthly thing, LOL

Forrest Green-Anytime Fitness Soccer Team..aka the SHARKS!!

Bryson's first year of soccer went pretty well, there were so many kids they asked if some parents could volunteer so their weren't so many kids on each team and would allow the kids more playing time.  Jeff decided we should help out, he was head coach, and i was his assistant.  The season started a bit slow, most of the kids had never played soccer before..and keeping 11 4-6 year olds on task, engaged and interested is alot harder than you would think!  We improved so much by the end of the season and we really loved our kids! 

The kids named themselves the 'Sharks'  Here they are getting a team picture taken

 The goofy picture shot..silly kiddos!  ")

 Bryson originally wanted to be goalie, and was for the first few games, he did pretty good for the most part, all it took was a really hard kick of the ball to hit him right in the face to make goalie not so fun..and he really took to running around the field and was so improved by the end of the season, i was really proud of him.

 Jeff lining some kids up for drills before the game.   (Brinlie, Carson, Kaden, Cole and Bridget)

 About to kick some balls to the goal  (cole, Brayden, Brynlie)

 Some more drills (Kaden, Cole and Brayden)

Jeff talking to Kaden, girls standing around and Brayden running after ball-our mvp of the games :)

We had a great group of kids..took a few games but by the end they were really getting into it.. even scored a few goals.. only 1 for the other team!    Fun season.  

Here is a pic with a few of our kids at our after season party at the Frozen Penguin, yummy!!  Even freezie came to see us!

Superheroes have taken over!

Meet BATMAN..  he has been a very frequent visitor to my house.. weekends and each night after school.  Look at those piercing blue eyes. 

WOLVERINE is also a very frequent visitor to the house

There is a new superhero duo ransacking the Mossman house, they even like to have friendly battles (the sound effects are hilarious, i have to add) in my living room and jump off my couches and play with toys.  I feel safe sleeping at night with this dynamic duo frequently visiting.

 Batman's identity has been revealed!!   Its Nolan my adorable curly red head and beautiful blue-eyed 2 yr old.  Love this kid!

April

I'm not doing such a great job with updating this blog, life with 3 is CRAZY town!! :) We had a good April, here are some pics of what our month was like:

Bryson and his mini-me.. he goes thru phases of wanting to hold baby and loving on him, and then other times he just goes about doing his thing and baby isn't much of a factor.

Nolan on the other hand, ALWAYS loves and touches, hugs, tickles and talks to his baby, it's adorable. I just have to watch him really close, he will be poking his eyes holding is nostrils or sticking his finger in his mouth and thinks it's all hilarious! Griffin loves the attention and now is grabbing and so expressive, he likes to pull Nolans curls.. it's super cute!

Bryson and I made a bunny cake for Easter, it was DELISH!! He loves to help me bake, nolan just likes to stick his finger in the bowl and lick the spatula..lol..but they both get a spot next to the mixer and each help dump in ingredients, bryson is getting really good at not spilling :)

Nolan checking out what the Easter bunny left

The Easter Bunny visited our house at naptime the day before Easter so that we could go visit family!!

Bryson loved his goodies.. this is an egg with a matchbox car

Nana came to visit

we had a fun Monster Truck Birthday Party to go to for Bryson's buddy Grant

Meet our only pet, for a long time, Bandit.. a cute little yippy dog that Avery gave Nolan for Easter :)

The boys are finally really playing good together, they love to play fight and all that too of course.. but this is how fun a big box can be...they played in this for hours.. adorable!

Big Diaper/wipe order for baby=hours of fun for boys!!

So we had a good April, can't believe it went so fast! The weather has been great, Bryson played soccer this month too, i have a seperate post to do for that!!

MaRcH ReViEw :

The month of March was a fun one! Each boy has his own look and personality and I thought it'd be fun do do a few little pictures and stories about each one... here goes:

NOLAN:

Oh Nolie Polie.. he is SUCH a character.. he's really talking a bunch and he's just hilarious and loving one minute and throwing himself on the floor or hitting someone the next, the joys of 'the terrible 2s!!
He LOVES boots! Today he found my UGG boots and was so excited. "TAOwboy boots mommy, TAOwboy boots!!" I say, "Cowboy boots?? You like those!!? ..."YES, YeS!! I IKE boots, i ride horsey mommy I ride horsey" "Do you want mommy to get you some boots for you?? "YYYEAH!!, i get boots.. i find horsey." So he was off trying to find his pony on a stick, LOL. He doesn't ask for much, other than candy, and his big brother gets stuff all the time so of course I went in seach of some boots for my babe, omg.. farm and home none under $54!! his feet grow so fast, i hate to spend that much on boots! so im gonna try another store and see if they have something a bit more reasonable!! :)

LOVE MY BOOTS!!

St.Patty's Day seems to be a big thing in J'vlle, so we took the boys up for the parade that morning, Nolan was terrified of the guns from the military and the loud engines, thankfully papa was there and took him off on his own away from the craziness!

Haven't had a pic with him in forever, he was NOT into it! stinker!

After the parade we went to farm and home to see the baby chicks.. he LOVED the baby chicks he wanted to hold them but the man at the store was watching us awful close and i didnt' want him squeezing one to death!! He loves animals of all kinds.. and constantly tells us he's a "baby doggie" which i think is just hilarious.. I always say "aww, what a cute baby doggie, i want to pet that cute doggie" he thinks its a fun game and quickly says.. NOOO i not baby doggie, i NOLAN mommy! and we both laugh!!

BRYSON

Bryson is growing up way to fast too, we just started SOCCER!! He's liking being Goalie, which shocked me, part of me thinks it's so he doesn't have to run as much, he gets tired super fast and turns bright red and sweaty(unfortunately he got that from me) But he's doing really good at practice wanting to be a goalie, we've only had one game, that didn't go so hot, but hopefully tomorrow will be better, more on all that later.. Here are a few pics of bry at the St. Patty's parade, he wanted to bring his halloween pumpkin since it was green, sadly(for him) we unknowingly stood at the end of the small parade and about everyone was out of candy when they got to us! It was fun Nana got to come with us this time!

Nana & Bryson

Mommy, Bryson & Nana

Daddy turned the big 4-0 on Sunday the 18th!! I had a big party bus for him and forgot to make a cake, and he wanted birthday cake icecream more, but Bryson and I thought he needed a cake so we ran to County Market and found one and got some m&m's and made a 40.. bryson is my helper, he LOVES to help me bake.. I'm thinking this boy will make a good husband one day.. im teaching him the good stuff, my future daughter in law someday will thank me, i just know it! :)

Gma Pat gave Jeff 40 scratch offs, so he and bryson did all 40 sitting her making a pile of winners and LOOOsers.. they had a lot of loosers, but still ended up with about $18 from it. :)

GRIFFIN

Aww, my sweet sweet baby. Im so in love with this boy. He is so precious, really animated and laid back (until he's overtired or hungry). I can't believe how big he is already!! He loves his thumb, i thought this picture was sweet:

love that thumb

Griffy likes his bath, this picture is him after his bath this week and he proceeded to poo on that towel from the 10 steps from the tub to his room to be dressed, stinker!!

I like bathtime!!!

All clean and dressed chillin in his bed.. such a cutie pie!! That smile melts my heart!!

Trying out his bumpo seat for the first time, he did great, seemed to enjoy it!

Here are some pics of all my boys-- the big boys LOVE their baby.. nolan says "my baby griffin" every day when i pick him up and has to touch on his head and kiss him, his friends all really like baby too! Bryson is a very sweet big bro and loves to talk to him and make him smile. Thankfully Griffin loves the attention for the most part, he smiles really big when they come near and seems to look for Nolan when he hears comotion and his voice. Its really cute, cause Bry and Nolan are big into hitting and wrestling right now, so i enjoy the sweet sides around the baby. Griffin get ready, you have to be tough whether you like it or not!!

this is nolan's lovey face where he insists on putting his head on Griffin's head to 'hug' and snuggle him.. after a few pictures and being wallered all over he'd had enough.. who could blame the poor kid!!
