Had a pretty short weekend, Luke worked on Saturday so we only had Sunday to catch up on family time. We'll take any time we can get with daddy though!

Luke and Mav had a late night on Saturday (I guess if you consider 10pm late in children world) and had some father/son bonding time. Mav has been on this ball fix and is fascinated with saying ball and with anything that remotely resembles a ball. Mav was sitting with Luke outside on the tailgate Sat. night and he looks up at the full moon and pointed to it and says in a sweet voice BALL. :) Not only is the moon a ball but apparently so are onions, bell peppers, tires and light bulbs just to name a few. I was in the kitchen cooking the other day and he gets a hold of an onion and says BALL and throws it as hard as he can on the kitchen floor...unfortunately it doesn't have as much bounce as his other balls so he continues to pick it up and throw it until it bounces. Good times. Never realized how little boys are just fascinated with balls and throwing things constantly. Talk about having to have quick reflexes, whew.
Here are a couple of pics of the twins doing tummy time and one of Hawk getting his first haircut :)









Tummy Time!










Hawk getting his very first haircut! What a little stud!

Finally getting back in the game!

I've talked about updating the blog for the past year now and finally have decided to do it! I'm still trying to figure how to work the layouts and posting so bear with me as there may be some random pictures in random spots at times.
I'm always giving Luke a recap of the day when he gets home from work giving him all the details about all the "aww" moments of the day and the "grr" moments and finally realized I needed to be sharing these memories with family and friends. I hope you can enjoy my journey of motherhood as I embrace it with arms wide open. Oh the joys of three children under the age of two, here we go!

I have always known that Maverick was destined for great things since the day he was born, but today I realized just how valuable his little arm is. This morning as I was sitting upstairs feeding Noelle I saw Maverick launch Elvis's ball 30 feet across the room... As I watched this beautiful throw that went whizzing by my head with its nice high arch I watched Mavericks face as it hit the wine glass the was positioned perfectly on the ledge by the Foosball table. Boy did he hit his target and was he happy. I gasped and heard in slow motion the glass fall down onto the lamp downstairs... then shatter on the table... and then onto the floor... Maverick then looks at me and says with his mouth open "Uh Oh" and then goes into a dead sprint downstairs, luckily I caught him before he hit the crime scene. At this moment I realized 1. It is Luke's fault 2. I wonder how long the twins will cry for while I clean this up and 3. My little boy is on the fast track to the NFL. How can you be mad at him?

Here are some pictures from the last few weeks.

Noelle







Hawk

























He kept pointing at the big football & basketball on the All Sports stores sign on the building saying ball

Maverick was worn out by all the babies so he took the initiative to take a nap in Elvis's cage all by himself :)
