We have had a fun week. Last weekend Gavin and the Sandlot Sluggers baseball team got second place in their bracket in a tournament in Wolforth. Gavin had a great time and they played pretty well. I also took Gavin to our first Tech baseball game this season and he had a great time there. We got our first foul ball just walking up to the gate (it just came flying over the bleachers).

I took the day off on Monday and we took the kids to Main Event and bowled, played glow in the dark golf and played laser tag. Emma is finally tall enough (well almost, 1 inch short, but they let her play anyways) to play laser tag and she had a blast. She didn't do just super awesome, (-240 score) but she had a good time.

I am being stay at home dad for today and I took this picture of the kids on the couch. I think these may be the best looking kiddo's ever. Ha. We are lucky to have such great kids. More coming soon.

...FAMILY...

Kiddos and their Nana

I LOVE this Man!

Like Father Like Son

Before there was 5....

Nana took these family pictures of us before we found out our family was going to grow. We have only been a family of 5 for 2 1/2 months, but I can't remember what it was like to be a family of 4 anymore! We will have to go retake these this spring so that Reese can be in them. The sun was really bright and Emma was having such a hard time keeping her eyes open!

We haven't aged a bit since we started dating at 16! Ha!

Our baby is a month old...

I just love this little girl soo much, even at 3 am!
What she's up to:
-Eats every 2 1/2 to 3 hours

- Wears newborn diapers

-Wears Newborn Sleepers, and 0-3 months sleepers

-She weighs a little over 8 lbs

- Loves to be held, and to be rocked

- You try to use your pacifier, even though you are not very good at it!

- Don't really enjoy your swing

- You like your bouncer, especially when it's vibrating

- You hold your head up VERY good for your age, but you HATE tummy time

- Love when Gavin and Emma talk to you

Turning one week old

Reese Avery Wade
1 week old

Gavin was always such a good baby. Only cried when he needed something, slept good and liked everyone. We figured since he was so good that we wouldnt be so lucky with Emma. Then she came along and was a better sleeper than he was! She was always so happy, always smiling! When we found out we were pregnant with Reese, we knew there was no way we would be lucky enough to have 3 great babies! Reese has definitely surprised us! She rarely cries and is VERY tolerant of 2, sometimes not so gentle big siblings. She LOVES to be close and to cuddle! Whether its holding her, laying with her, or just sitting close to her- she's not picky. God has definitely blessed us, thats for sure! (Now teenage years might be a whole different story! Lets hope not!)
