Misc Pics

So, here's a shot of our big boy. He is going on 5 months on the 22nd of this month but a few weeks ago at his 4 month appt. he weighed 19 lbs 8 oz and was 26 1/2 inches long. He is growing just as much in length as in weight. He's in the 90-95% for his height and as for weight he is actually of the charts. But he is a big growing boy. We love him to death.



This is my 3 crazy boys. No, they didn't all sleep together, I only wish. Colton slept with us and that was a nightmare. If he's near me, he thinks he needs to nurse the whole time. So, I didn't get a lot of sleep being next to him. Anyways, look at those 3, now, it's only 3 boys, but for some reason, being out here everyone just stares at us and comments on how we have 3 boys. They say, "You have a whole team, huh?" "They must keep you busy!" "No girls, huh!" "You just need 2 more to have a basketball team." You name it, it's been said. We go to the store, we get stared at, we go out to eat, they stare, we go to the park, they stare. You get the picture. Danny and I are at a lose as to why everyone stares at us and makes comments. I really don't think having 3 boys is really that unique. We just don't know why we are always being looked at, granite, they are smiling at us but stil?! Anyone out there have any idea to help clue us in?

Branson train ride

We went for a train ride through the beautiful mountains of Branson and we even made it into Arkansas. It was a really pretty ride. We sat on a 2nd deck of the train and it had a sky-lite dome ceiling, so we observed a lot. It did get a little chilly up there from the air conditioner. It was 2 hours long so needless to say that the 2 little ones fell asleep. I even got a small nap in, however, after my neck was so kinked I tried getting into a more comfortable position only to have Colton wake up because he could sense that his mommy was wanting to sleep. Over all it was a relaxing activity. Oh, I have to mention this story, if you've ever seen The Polar Express you'll know what I'm talking about. We had boarded the train and were just sitting waiting to leave the station. One of the train conducters came around to check our tickets, I had a ticket, Nate was holding a ticket and Josh was holding Danny's ticket because he didn't need one. Well, the conducter got mine and Nate's and punched a hole into it but then he went to the aisle across from us. He finished up and was ready to leave and Josh was stilling holding his ticket so I asked if he could come and punch Josh's ticket so he wouldn't feel left out. I don't think Josh would have cared either way but I wanted him to have the chance. He apologized and quickly came over and punched it but not just once put all over the place, it totally reminded me of the Polar Express. Then he took his hat off and let Josh and Nate try it on and get a picture of them in it. He was very nice and Josh loved his ticket, he thought it was so cool. The end.

Table Rock Dam

Look at that beautiful view, and the lake is pretty too!!


Isn't that a sweet memory of father and son!


Nate is throwing rocks trying to make a big splash.You can see his rock in mid-air that he threw.


I loved this photo of Josh. He was trying to show me something on the ground. He's getting big, he's our little pistol, he makes us laugh all the time.


Mommy and Colton over looking Table Rock reservoir. The pictures just don't do justice to how beautiful the scenery really was!

Fish Hatchery

Here we are at the fish hatchery. They had thousands of fish of various sizes. It was really to cool to see how they grow them and then transplant them to various lake, rivers and reservoirs. The boys really liked seeing how many fish were in all the different "growing beds". The first picture with us in front of the sign, if you look closely in the background you can see the dam to Table Rock reservoir. I'll post pics of those tomorrow.

Lake Taneycomo

These are some pics of Lake Taneycomo. The view was spectacular. With the changing of the leaves and the weather in the high 70's and low 80's, it was just perfect time to be out there. This lake is famous for his "huge" trout. The fishing is suppose to be excellent this time of year. We plan on going to Branson many more times and the next time we will take our fishing poles and try our luck with catching a big one. (Colton had fallen asleep in the truck and we didn't want to get him out of the truck, don't worry the truck was right in front of us.)
