So the summer has ended and it only my second blog post !!! I have a lot of catching up to do!
I feel like it rained a lot this summer, so Blake did crafts. He loves to paint, color and put stickers everywhere!! I hope Max loves to do these things as well in a few months!
On the days it was nice, and there were many of these, we did it all!! Water parks, festival’s, Indianapolis Zoo, Louisville Zoo and our very Cincinnati Zoo, Parades, Museum Center, and the list goes on….. I will try to up load the pictures in order so you can see the boys GROW!!! Little Maddox got his first tooth on Father’s Day, June 21st and his second a day after that. He will soon have as many teeth as his big brother.

Thanks Deana and Grayson for the Bubble machine, the kids love it! Here are a few shots from last night in the backyard!!!
Beach, WOO HOO!!! Was what I heard for a week leading up to our vacation. Blake was so excited about going to the ocean! I believe I heard, “I wanna go beach” or “I wanna go on a cart ride” several dozen times a day!!! We have been home for a few days and Blake is still asking for the beach and golf cart!!! On our first day there Carly and Jay brought over their beautiful girls!! Olivia and Preston were all about the the girls, but who wouldn’t be! We had such a good time and look forwad to the next trip!!
Here are a few more shots at the beach!
I can not believe how fast these months pass me by! My boys are changing every day and it breaks my heart to watch them grow before my eyes, I would love to freeze them right now! Blake is speaking so much and his vocabulary is growing by the second! He amazes me on how much he retains and understands. Max is rolling, scooting, sitting and up and all fours moving all over the place! He wants to be where Blake is at and now he can get there before Blake does! He is becoming more vocal and over the past few days he will get upset if he drops something he was playing with. I did not think my “chill” baby could have such attitude!
Here are a few photos of the boys at play!
J and I took the kiddos to the Zoo for some shots in the Tulips, we really struggled to get one of all 5, but some of the individual turned out great!
For Easter we covered the backyards in eggs for the kids. Blake, Livie, Preston and Starlynn really enjoyed the easter egg hunt! I am still finding eggs in the backyard!!!
Pickle just chilled in the Jeep…hunting eggs was not his thing!

I have been a bad blogger……I feel like I missed an entire month! We have been very busy and have been having so much fun! Mom and Dad took ALL of us (minus Max) to the Circus! (click on link for more pictures) The boys did GREAT! Ringling Brother’s had it all planned out and most of the time the boys were really interested. I think the adults had a better time than the kids!
I just wated to upload a few pictures that brought a smile to my face, I hope they do the same for you!
Blake loves his tent and there is nothing better to Blake than everyone else in his tent with him! Mamaw Sue Sue, Blake, and Max I think spent all last Wednesday in there, this is what I came home from work to!
Blake had a red bottom last week, I will leave their diaper off a little longer than normal…..this what you get with Blake…
Mags made her Blog Debut, and she is bigger than Max! (and Maddox is a pretty big guy)
Blake can really peel his own Nanna??? I am just glad he climbed into his chair first…
Max in the Hop in Pop, he is so BIG!
and the last one, not a great picture, but one of the few of my three guys!
My niece, Olivia, turned 4 this year! It has amazed me how much she has changed and grown during these past 4 years. She has such a wonderful attitude and a personality that everyone wants their children to have. We are so lucky to have this little girl as a niece and neighbor!
This year Ryan and J had Livie’s birthday celebration at 5 Star Gymnastics. This was a hit for all ages! All Shakers wanted to do was BOUNCE. Brad had a nice cardio workout chasing him all over the gym!
A good friend of mine has a very talented Mother! I can not believe the adorable outfits, diaper bags, totes…the list goes on and on that she can put together. This past summer she made me a “ZOO” carrier, it is made from a lime green giraffe print fabric. I had this “little” bump, AKA Max, all summer and was unable to carry Blake on our MANY trips to the zoo. So I broke it in at the Festival of Lights this year. The first of many trips this beautiful carrier will make through a zoo!
This was one of the warmer nights this past winter and there were so many people out, it made it so easy to navigate through the crowd and Shakers was able to see everything! I even talked my brother, Ryan, into carrying Preston.
Thank You Mrs. Chalk!!!!!
