Just for Fun!

So after being Debbie Downer in my last post...I thought this would be fun!
(Today I am feeling thankful for Snapfish and being able to recover 600+ pictures from it last night!!!!)

Kennan Joshua at 6 weeks...
Brayden Lynn at 8 weeks...
Grayson Benjamin at 6 weeks...

Do you see a family resemblance???

When it Rains it Pours...

Updated:
After posting this I went to Snapfish and found some old albums I had uploaded to their site. That will help a lot! And I am aware that we can find someone to recover our files (maybe) but it will probably cost an arm and a leg. And we don't have any spare arm and legs around here...see below! :)

Original Post:

In the last 3 weeks...

Our Nikon D50 was stolen.

Hubby misplaced his 6 week old iPhone.

Our external hard drive with 4 years of pictures crashed.

And this is the least of our worries...hubby just walked in after mowing and said our weed eater/edger broke.

I'm not sure if it could get much worse. I have to remind myself these are all material things...some of which can be replaced.

It just isn't that easy.

3, 2, 1...Blast Off!!

Kennan's Birthday party request this year was for a space party...not sure where he got the idea because he really isn't that into space. But, we took it and ran with it. I think he had a "blast" and it was "out of this world"!!
Kennan and the rocket ship cake that him and Kenny created...
Opening presents...
Pinata time!
Pinata candy chaos!

6 Weeks Old!

Grayson Benjamin is 6 weeks old today!

We've said goodbye to newborn clothes and diapers...
hello 0-3 month clothes and size 1 diapers!
Grayson is such a laid back and easy going little man. He hardly ever cries...he has to be pretty upset! If you were to come to our house at pretty much any time of the day you would find him in his bouncy seat asleep or keeping his eye on Kennan and Brayden. He sleeps pretty well at night, only waking up once to eat. He likes his pacifier sometimes but isn't dependent on it like his big brother and sister were at this age.
At this point I am thinking he looks a lot like Kennan did at this age. But he also has some of his sister's characteristics. Not sure about his weight and length as he doesn't go to the doctor until he is 8 weeks old. If I had to guess, I would say he is about 9 lbs.

We love our little man!!

Things I am Thinking...

(This post has been edited from its original version. Thanks to Gretchen who so kindly pointed out that I had aged my son by a few months. Thanks friend!! I really do need some sleep!)

*I am super tired. I need sleep. Waking up to feed a beautiful, precious baby boy twice a night is rough for me.

*Kenny took a week of vacation last week so we went to the metroplex to visit family and friends. It was a great trip. However, I feel like I need another vacation to recoup from the vacation.

*While on that trip my one and only $700-ish camera was taken while we were staying at a very nice hotel in the town where my in-laws live. (How is that for being non-descriptive as to not give away where my in-laws live or the name of the very nice hotel we were at??) Needless to say, I am extremely sad and disturbed that someone could and would do that. I have a very special family member who has let us borrow a camera until we can buy a new one...so hopefully some pictures will be coming soon.

*Grayson is precious. I can't imagine life without him! He is sleeping well, eating well (except for the occasional projectile vomit...sorry if TMI), he is starting to smile and coo at us as well. He was 5 weeks yesterday!

*Kennan and Brayden are fantastic big siblings. They adore their little brother and can't keep their hands off him. Kennan always wants to hold him...usually at inconvenient times, like when he is eating. Brayden rushes to his side and announces "I right here! I right here!" whenever he makes a peep.

*Kennan turned 5 a month ago, but we are having his party this weekend. He has requested a space party so that is what he is getting, although I am still not too sure what it will entail. Because we have been talking about Kennan's party so much, Brayden has decided she is going to have a princess and Max&Ruby party (yes, her birthday is still 4 months away...try explaining that to a 2 year old).

*Hopefully I will start blogging more soon. I need to convince myself that it is okay to not have big, detailed, picture-filled posts all the time...

The End.
