10/24/2018 - Dang it! It looks like I finally need to break down and start putting Elan in six month sleepers. Ugh! He is growing so fast!

10/24/2018 - No idea what he is saying for the most part, but he is just cute! He has been calling Cayden and Elan, Eamon lately. And talking in third person.

Cayden hanging out with Kyler

A little taste of what it's like to have six kids while living with Hashimotos. 😜😬 

10/22/2018 - So if anyone in real life feels I have been kind of MIA lately, I'm sorry. I have been averaging 1-2 broken hours of sleep a night for about a month now. My five month old went from sleeping 6-7 hrs a night to waking up every 30 mins to an hour. I am exhausted. I am cranky. I have doubled in my white hairs. My house is a tornado wreck. I am dosing off trying to homeschool Chase and Kyler. I have been off my thyroid medication for a couple of days now, thanks to my doctor. Which doesn't help at all. The only way I am able to function, stay awake and get stuff done throughout the day is to just force myself to keep moving. So if anyone has felt ignored or noticed I have been kind of MIA, this is the reason. It has not been intentional.

He loves to hold his baby brother. 💕

Trying to get him to scoot.

10/10/2018 - This started happening a week ago today. I finally got it on video. Little stinker! He turned four months on Sept. 23rd. He has been rolling and turning all over the place for awhile. I might have my earliest crawler yet.😔 

Snow on the mountains!

Skinny, cute little boy!!

Sweet sleeping baby with little hand dimples.

Took the boys to get their hair cut at Sport Clips. They did a good job, but they are WAY over priced!!

10/11/2018 - New haircuts, for threee of them anyway. Kyler's is a little crazy for me. We won't be styling it that crazy ourselves. lol...Chase's hair is so thick, it was looking way too fluffy. He looks so much cuter with short hair. And Eamon just looks adorable with styled hair.

Just playing around with the baby. 😂

Goofy Caydo and Sassa.

10/17/2018 - Sound asleep at 6:30pm. We are looking into sleep apnea and other issues for him. Supposedly it can be common in kids with heart conditions. He usually gets this tired during day. Most of the time it just results in crankiness.😔

Getting on his knees!

Sleeping babies are the sweetest.

I had my mom make this shirt for Elan. I loved it!!

Do you see it? It was in our garage.

Stinkin kids! Freaked me out at first when I saw it.

Our kids think they are cats...

The last time one of our babies gets to wear this costume that Grandma Penrod made when Chase was a baby.

Cayden as Bumblebee

Travin was a police man. He got his face panted as a dog at the ward Fall party.

The start of one of my Halloween decorations.

The finished product.

The kids were so scared of it for awhile. Eamon finally got comfortable enough to touch it.

And the last time our kids will wear the Gizmo costume I made for Eamon when he was a baby. I tried to fix it this year, but it still wasn't as good as I wanted it to be.

He was done with Trick of Treating.

We met up with some neighborhood friends. Parker on the right and Eamon on the left. Parker is a few months older than Cayden, but closer to Eamon's size.  They kept holding hands. It was so cute.

Chase's friend, Jason.

We had some scary Grim Reaper music playing. Kylann said everyone thought someone was going to jump out from it. They were all impressed we made it.

10/10/2018 - I am a day late on this...Four years ago yesterday in El Paso, TX, I gave birth to a giant 10lb 11oz baby boy. Four years ago today, I was spending all of my time in a hospital in San Antonio away from the rest of my family awaiting this little man's heart surgery. It was a lonely and very scary time in my life. He has always had a special place in my heart. He has the sweetest little heart, but also has a bit of a temper. When he is excited, it shows through his whole face, as you can see in the big picture. I love this special little guy of mine. Even when he is driving me cray, he'll come over and rest his head on my shoulder or give me a hug and change my attitude. We love you Caydo! Our family would not be complete without you. 💕

This is the daily occurrence with these boys.

Sweet baby boy

Eamon was mimicking Elmo. I missed most of it.

Dance party with this crazy bunch!

These kids are nuts!

Travin and his crazy dance moves.

Some baby giggles.

He was very excited about the video.

Just moving around on the floor...

He would get up on his knees and then plop down.

Just to show that Eamon really does talk. lol...He's very shy at first.

Little rug rat

Kyler playing with his baby brother.

More baby giggles

I love Eamon's cute little voice!

Cayden's echo appt. I realized I had never gotten any of it on video before. It's short.

Travin helped Cayden get his shirt on.

More floor scooting.

Silly Sassy
