GO CARDS!!!

Cardinals took home the world series this year and on the morning of the big game I took this picture of Brady dressed for the occasion and sent it to all my brothers who are NOT Cardinal fans.

Awesome!

October Pumbkin Patch

My kids love this pumpkin patch.

I went with my friend Sarah and at first I couldn't find it and we almost turned around, but just before we gave up we found it.

My boys don't love going for the pumpkins, they love going because they make this maze out of the huge hay bales and all the kids play tag on them and jump from one to another.  Makes for really good older kid entertainment and tired dirty kids when they're done.

While the older kids played, Sarah and I walked around with the little ones doing things you traditionally do at pumpkin patches, look at pumpkins.

 I think I should have stuck my head in this picture.

It more accurately describes how I'm feeling most days...

 

 Love this pic of sweet Ella in between these two other munchkins!

Little Charolette trying to pull Brady in the wagon. :)

 The boys in front of one of the hay bales they play on.

Chase opted out of the picture and was throwing a 2 year old tantrum for whatever reason, I can't remember.

Being the awesome mom that I am, I couldn't resist, I took some pictures of it. :)

 These seriously make me laugh, out loud!

He's going to laugh someday too.

 Pretty sure they were also laughing at his tantrum...

Chase's 7th Birthday & Brady's 2nd!

Chase turned 7 this year and we were lucky enough to celebrate with all of our family while we were visiting in Ut.

Chase is such a quiet little guy and HATES to be the center of attention (me too).

He is definitely a middle child and is always trying to keep up with big brother.

He has the sweetest little spirit, but doesn't like to always show it. :)

He LOVES to watch basketball highlight on youtube and can be entertained watching his favorite players for hours.

He loves video games, a little too much, but we keep it in check.

He loves playing basketball downstairs or anywhere and is getting to be quite the ball player.

He has always been my best eater and still is.  Offer him a bowl of fruit or a brownie and he'll probably pick the fruit 9 times out of 10.

Happy Birthday Chase!

 

 

 My baby turned 2!

Brady has brought so much joy to all of our lives!

He is my biggest trouble maker BY FAR, but I'm going to chalk it up to he's really smart and gets bored a lot.

He is obsessed with Dinosaurs just like big brother Chase was!  Everything that comes out of his mouth, even if don't understand most of it, always ends with the word "dinosaurs".

He LOVES to watch Dinosaur Train on PBS and documentaries on Netflix about dinosaurs.  Not kidding, documentaries, like the ones they have the the dinosaur museum.  He can tell you a lot of their real names.

He loves his older brothers and is always trying to do what they're doing.

He loves being outside.

He is a Haslem and loves all things with a ball involved.  (kind of hard not to in our house)

Happy Birthday Brady!

 He was so funny opening his presents.

His Grandma Josh gave him this Dinosaur Train set and he was hooked.

Good luck getting him to open anything else after that!

 This was a dinosaur book that made sounds.

LOVED, not to hard to please.

 Love these pictures of these two August birthday boys.

Melts my heart...

 Not sure if Bryce was responsible for this face in this cake, but it was cute.

We just gave him that piece.  :)

Little Drummer Boy

Future band member of the Sphincter Tones.

He even has his shirt off like a real rock star.

My Boys and Grandma Cindy

My mom came to visit for a couple days while she was out visiting her parents in Illinois.

I love having my family come and see us!  It was so nice of her to drive from Illinois to spend a couple days with me and the kids.

We decide to last minute try and get a picture of the the kids for Father's Day.  It was truly last minute so I know they are completely blown out for taking them mid-afternoon, but they're my boys and they look cute no matter what!

 Seriously,  isn't he so cute!  Even with his father's ears!

You can imagine all the girls at school who have a crush on this one!

  

Chase is so shy sometimes, but he's finally starting to come out of his shell a little.

I love this kid so much!

 This one is TROUBLE.  :)

 

I'm pretty lucky...

Fun at the Park

What would the spring be like without tons of time at the park?!

My boys LOVE the park and when the weather is this nice, so do I.

 

 I love this pic.  He struggled with all his little might to climb on this slide!

Easter Egg Hunt

 

Sometimes I think I have more pictures of Brady in one of his strollers than out of it, but to try and keep an eye on this one is almost impossible!  He is lightning quick and I've already lost him once to the point I had the police on the phone, don't want to revisit that situation again!

Chase and one of his best buddies, Owen.  We invited him to come with us and they had a great time!

Silliness on the rings!

Brady had absolutely no interest in hunting for eggs.
He found a ball and bat and that was the only entertainment he needed for the morning.

Landon didn't want to attend this year and Bryce was shared the same feeling about egg hunting so
I attended solo. :(

Doesn't get much cuter!
