Our Big Boy

I feel like I don't write enough about or take enough pictures of Gage, so I am going to journal this mostly to make myself feel better about neglecting his growth. Gage is now almost 5 months old and is growing too fast. I already am missing my tiny baby and in no rush for him to grow up. I just wish he could stay little. We took him to the doctor today and he was 15 pounds and 26 inches. He was our smallest and still is. I'm starting to worry that he might be taking after me in height poor kid! Gage has been such a great baby! I love that he giggles when you undress him (he is so ticklish), he smiles from the moment he wakes up and keeps on smiling practically the whole day, and he is such a cuddler! Gage is almost rolling over and loves to sit up and watch his brother and sister. Makenna is so helpful with both of her brothers and loves being the only girl because she feels that she is in charge. Gunner loves his "bruder", sometimes a little too much, and I hope that they can continue to be close friends as they grow up. He loves to make "Baby Chage" smile and is so proud of himself when he does.

Fourth Pic



This is my fourth picture in my fourth folder on my computer. We had just got a digital camera when Makenna was born, so our pictures start with her. This was her first Halloween and she was about 6 weeks old. We got the pumpkin costume because it could be boy or girl. Cory insisted on this because even though we had two ultrasounds that said girl he was convinced it was a boy. Of course he really didn't care and was so excited to have his little princess. He was probably pretty excited to also get candy with her halloween bag that she obviously needed.

Now Melissa, Stephanie, Katie, and Kendell go to your picture folder on your computer, fourth album then fourth picture and write about it. Have fun!

Lake Mead Trip

Makenna had the last week of September off, so we decided to take one last "summer" vacation this year. Lake Mead was wonderful. The weather was perfect, not too hot and the water was still warm, the boat and the jetskis ran without any problems, and everyone had a lot of fun.


This year Makenna and Gunner really loved riding the tube. Every ride they held their "thumbs up" the whole ride because they did not think they were going fast enough
Gunner doing his usual - throwing rocks. At home, at school, anywhere he can find a rock he will throw (preferably at a target, the jetski being the target luckily it was too far out for him to reach).

Makenna loves floating in the water with her lifejacket. This year they both swam really well which made things a little easier. Gunner realized the benefit of wearing the lifejacket while he swims to keep him up . They also love jumping off the back of the boat. Makenna also tried to stand up on wake surf board while Cory was holding it and she stayed up pretty well. So next year, a pair of little water skis hopefully.


So this trip I had issues with having my camera where I needed it when I needed it. If I was on the boat then it was on the shore, and if I was on the shore it was of course on the boat. So I missed some great pictures of the guys wake surfing and tubing, but I felt so bad because when I got home I realized that I had not taken a single picture of Gage. What a terrible mom! So here's Baby Gage:

Wingstop is OPEN!

Cory and his brothers have been working so hard all summer on building Wingstop and last night was the "soft" opening for the owner his fam, friends, and the contractors who worked on it. The restaurant looked amazing. It is hard to believe that just a few months ago it was an empty building and my amazingly talented hubby made it into a working restaurant. Anyway, the food was great and everything went well. So if you are in the mood for great wings and goodies and want to see the work check it out. Wingstop is on the corner of Soledad and Sierra Hwy in the Albertsons shopping center. Great job No Worries!
