"It kills you to see them grow up. But I guess it would kill you quicker if they didn't."

I guess I should have taken note while the boys were "eating us out of house and home" that they are getting bigger and growing so much! I remember hearing my family say..."seems just like yesterday.." well here I go, it really does seem just like yesterday that they were all babies. And although I don't miss the demands a newborn brings I do miss all that cuddle time and those gummy smiles. (Ben on the other hand, well he is couting down the days til we won't have to spend as much money on diapers, oh and forcing them to mow the yard of course. I have been hearing about that one since Tyler was born.) The boys had their well check ups yesterday, and we found out they are healthy. I could have save $50 and told you that myself, but it is always good to have comfirmation (so I am told). Here are their updates....

Grady- Currently 15 months weighing in at a whopping 28 pounds. His favorite hobbies are eating, having mommy sneak in the occassional bottle (hey..a boy needs his ba ba), doing anything his older brothers do, jibber jabbering all the time, and refusing to sit in the highchair while climbing in the regular chair like a big boy. He is happy, silly, and just all around lovely!
Benjamin-12 days shy of turning 3, weighing in at 38 pounds. He is now completely potty trained, enjoys writing the letter "A" over and over again, cracking himself up, singing, rocking with his mommy, playing with anything that has wheels, and doing anything Tyler does. (and talking non stop). He is a wonderful little guy with such an ambitious spirit, and adds so much fun to everyday!

Tyler-Will be turning the ripe old age of 8 in just 6 days. He enjoys his brothers (although he might not admit this to everyone), trains, cars, books, dinosaurs, trying to figure out how everything in the entire world works...who invented it...and why. Other hobbies are talking almost the entire time he is awake, making people laugh, swimming, and hanging out with his family. Tyler is such a deep thinker with a very gentle spirit. He is always making me laugh with the things he says. An example...We were at my grandpas shop and he says to one of the employees "I like to watch you work because by watching you I am learning something new. And you should learn something new everyday.....LONG PAUSE.....if you aren't learning something new everyday, well, you should just stay at home I guess."
