Lano turned the big 4!!

 I finally have gotten around to blogging. We had to get a new computer first and then I had to download all my pictures on here. Lane had his big birthday in July. Of course we celebrated it up at the lake on the houseboat.
   The thought of Lane growing up makes me sooo sad.  Lane is my little sweet heart. He is so easy going and mellow. My favorite thing about Lane is his innocence. He gets so excited about the most simplest things, so excited. Especially if you mention the word ice cream or anything with sugar really. He has the biggest sweet tooth ever. He always has something on backwards, its usually his underwear or shoes.
    Lane LOVES toys, any toy he just loves toys. He can entertain himself for hours, hes kind of a loner. He doesn't mind playing by himself and kind of prefers it sometimes. His toy of choice is always a motorcycle, a dirt bike one. You will rarely see him without one in his hand. He even has to sleep with a toy every night. His second choice would be his boat, remote control boat even though he never uses the remote ,he prefers to push it himself.
   He doesn't care much for food, its a fight every night to get him to eat. We can usually bribe him with a treat after words. He is the best sleeper. He can sleep through anything, even a fire alarm. He can fall asleep anywhere too.
  He is going to play his first year of soccer this year and is beyond excited, I think mainly for the uniform and his new cleats.
  He is very particular about what he wears. He LOVES basketball shorts and hates pants. He hates collard shirts,button up shirts, striped shirts. He will only wear t-shirts with pictures on them, quicksilver, Shop shirt, Hurley etc. If I put him in any of those clothes he will go change them himself.
   He is the cutest little boy!! Has been called a girl more than once, with those golden curls. We love you Lane and are so lucky to have you in our family.

Spring Break

 We had Spring break a few weeks ago and spent a few of the days out at the sand dunes riding quads.We go out to Samoa Beach which is only like 30 minutes away. The boys LOVE it.  Their grandpa "Pa" has quads of all sizes for all the big and little kids.

 There is a bunch of us, so the kids just sort of take turns riding.
                                                              Lane and Luke
                                             Brooks walks around eating snacks and sand most of the time.

 Also filling the helmets with sand.

BROOKSER at 14 MONTHS

 We were a little late at getting Brooks into his one year appt. At 14m he was 25 lbs. This little guy is getting so much fun. His personality is really starting to come out and he is quite funny. He is definitely and active kid. Always trying to keep up with brothers.
    He is into everything. I have given up on trying to keep my house clean, he is into every cupboard pulling things out or transferring items from one drawer to the next. I find my shoes in the tub, in the drawer or the garbage can often.
    He LOVES music, and instantly starts dancing the second he hears it. Even at church during the hymns, he is over there bobbing his head. He thinks he is so funny, and laughs at himself all the time.
   He loves to get in the shower, not tub, shower, and Ive caught him numerous times in there with clothes on with Teegin in the morning.
   He loves to be outside, if there is a door left open he is running out the door. He can entertain himself for hours in the dishwasher. I cant do dishes while he is around because he loves pulling the silverware out of the slots and putting them back in or somewhere else.
   He isn't my most mellow child, but he is a good little kid. Hes pretty easygoing for the most part. Sleeps all night and takes 1-2naps a day.
   We sure love this guy to pieces, its never a dull moment with him around.
 


Easter

 Teegin got to have a easter egg hunt at school this year, so he came home with this bag of eggs and candy that Brooks decided to break into. Cant leave anything where he can get it, cause he will.
 Then on Saturday morning we went over toe the hunt that the community puts on. Lane was a lot more into it this year. Brooks had no clue what was going on, and Teegin gets so competitive with the whole hunt its just a big race to him.

 Saturday night of course we had to dye eggs. Teegin is always in his underwear I have come to notice in a lot of pictures that I take of when we are doing family crafts; carvivng pumpkins, dyeing eggs, etc.

Aloha!!

 A few weeks ago Casey's whole family, all 26 of us flew out to Maui for a week.   The weather was beautiful, and we had such a good time. Lane was a lot more into the water this time, Teegin too.





 We stayed in some condos across the street from the Grand Wahalea.
 Lane and his two cousins Luke and Connor
 We finally got Lane to go down the slide,and he ended up loving it!

 One of the days, Casey and I snuck away to go on a helicopter ride over to tour the island. I was kind of nervous at first, but it wasn't bad at all.

There was a rope swing at the pool that the boys loved! I have a ton more pictures,but just decided on a few to post. We had such a good time.

My Big 1 Year Old

 Wow time flies. By far this guys first year flew by the quickest. Its so sad, but so fun at the same time. I have loved watching his little personality start to develop and come out. Brooksie Boy is such a funny little guy. He is definitely a busy body. He has been walking for about 2 months now and is constantly on the go.  
      His favorite things at the moment: pulling everything he can out of he cupboards. Loves pots and pans and making noise with them by banging them on the ground or into each other. Loves Tupperware and bowls. Loves the fridge and pulling out the chocolate syrup or lemon juice and just walking around with it.  
   I cant do the dishes with him around, the second he hears the dishwasher open he is instantly over there pulling the silverware out out, or climbing on the door.
    He is a little beggar, I cant eat in peace with him around, he sees someone eating he walks right over to you and and yells at you till you give him a bite. He has a sweet tooth already....I blame Casey.
   Loves, Loves to play  in the shower. If someone is in there showering he is constantly trying to climb in there clothes or no clothes.
   Likes to throw stuff off the couch, remotes, phones, whatever he gets his hands on.
   Hes not a huge Binky kid. I don't know how I feel about this, those things are my saving grace, but may be nice when it comes to break him of one.

    We sure adore this little guy and couldn't imagine our lives without him. Happy Birthday Buddy.

10 months

 Brooksie is getting so big. This little guy is becoming very mobile, and is extremely busy. He has a lot of things he need to get done and he is so curious about everything.
 He is the squishiest little guy. Such a sweetheart and happy guy.  He takes 2 naps a day, his 2nd nap he kind of fights me about. but he definitely needs it. 
 He is for sure my biggest baby. At 10m he weighs 21 lbs, 5oz. 30in.   My other two at the age of 1 were only 18 lbs.  Its funny putting him in clothes that Teegin and Lane wore and remembering them being a few months older-walking in these clothes, and them fitting Brooks right now.
 This is one of his hobbies, while Im trying to make dinner Ill just open the fridge and he'll play in there forever. Pulling things out and then putting them back in.
He is getting close to walking which I am actually kind of sad about. He is growing up way too fast. I guess hes just trying to keep up with his brothers. His hair is starting to get really curly, he has the bluest eyes ever, and has 6 teeth right now. He has become a little beggar, I can never just eat my meals in peace. If he sees me eating he will crawl right over to me and beg for a bite.
