Washing Vehicles...

Saturday we spent the day cleaning vehicles inside and out.  The boys were good helpers.  Breckan got to bounce in his jumper when he was awake and he took a few naps too.  Ethan helped clean off bottles and cans for Dad and Tristan was helping Mom clean the inside of the vehicles.  They had fun running around and playing basketball at the shop too and watching some movies.

Breckan's First Bath in the Big Tub...

Breckan was getting a bit big for the little bath tub so we decided to give the big tub a try.  He LOVES it!! :)  He splashes and kicks and just smiles.  It is so cute to just watch him play around after he gets all cleaned up.

Breckan Pics...

The days seem to fly by and our little man grows and grows and grows.  Here are some pictures from lately of him.  He is so alert and looking all around all the time.  He wants to be sitting up and taking everything in and watching his big brothers' every moves.  The pictures below: Breckan lays on his stomache and looks all around, sitting in his jumper and jumps and just smiles, one of Dad being silly with the big beer bottle coin holder when the boys were getting money together for school, smiley boy after eating, and he likes sitting in his Bumbo chair so he can be right in on all the action.

Chance & Kristen's Gatherings...

We got together for Chance and Kristen's gatherings last weekend.  Chance and the guys went out on a party bus around town.  Kristen and the ladies met for some wine and then on to supper at Johnny Carino's and after that some visiting.  Chance and Kristen had to wear special Groom and Bride beads. :)  And the rest of us joined in with some colorful beads as well.  To my mistake, I brought beads for the guys to match Chance too not realizing that beads just may mean something different to guys than girls. :)  But it gave us some laughs at least.  It was nice hanging out with friends that we haven't seen for quite some time.

Happy Birthday Dad...

We were in Williston for Rashad's birthday and didn't get back till late Sunday night so we celebrated Rashad's birthday Monday night.  We had an ice cream cake and the boys loved blowing out the candles.  Breckan was sure intrigued by the candles.  The cake was really good.  It was layers of cake and ice cream.

Rashad's Military Ball...

Rashad had his military ball in Williston this weekend.  We went up Friday and came back Sunday.  The Ball was Saturday night.  It was at the same hotel that we stayed at this time so it was very nice to not have to leave.  It was a pretty setting and a lot more room this year.  The food was great.  After supper and the speaking and awards, they had a hypnotist.  It was a great show.  Everyone laughed like crazy.  He did an excellent show.  After the hypnotist there was a dance.

Pretty Winter Sunrise...

Noticed this pretty winter sunrise so had to get a picture.

Breckan 3 months...

Breckan is now 3 months old.  He was 14 lbs when I took him in and he had an ear infection in his right ear.  He likes sitting up.  He loves sitting in his Bumbo chair so he can be in on all the action that is going on with his brothers, when we are eating supper, pretty much anytime.  He still likes going in his swings too.  Dad brought over the walker and he loves being pulled around and pushed around by his big brothers, mainly Tristan.  I'm not sure who likes it more Tristan or Breckan. :)  Breckan is still drinking 4oz of formula every 3 hours or so.  He still likes to be wrapped up tight in his blanket to take naps and to sleep at night.  We moved him into his big crib the last week or so now and he's doing good with it for naps and bedtime.  He still gets up at night around 2 - 2:30 and then again around 5:30.  He eats and goes back to sleep.  He is in 3 - 6 month clothes and is wearing size 1 diapers. 

The boys were playing a game in the pictures below and wanted their baby brother to watch them so we sat him right alongside them in one of the chairs.  They thought that was pretty cool.
