Sullivan Rides Bikes

Sullivan is getting really big!  He really loves riding his bike with this brother and sister.  We went to a large parking lot and had lots of space to ride.  You can see his helmet has seen better days, however, luckily, it isn't because he falls all the time.

Mobile Mardi Gras 2015

This year we took the kids to Mardi Gras in Mobile, AL for the first time.  Stephanie and I realized we had never taken them and corrected that situation.  Here are a few images from our trip this year.  One image we don't have is of the three giant bags of candy, necklaces, and Moon-Pies.

Silly Sully

Sullivan said some funny things today that I want to document:

Funny #1: While driving down the street today I asked him what he wants to be when he grows up. He said, "I don't know but I do know I want to be a dragon right now. They're pretty cool."

Funny #2: So asked Sullivan to bring me some toilet paper today to which he responded "I can't walk right now because my feet are snoring, Mom".(translation-his foot fell asleep😉)

I love this kid!

Sullivan can be a ham...

Sullivan can be such a ham sometimes... He caught his Daddy taking his picture and he turned on the smiles, even if his classmate wasn't ready for her closeup.

Another Christmas Singing video (Sullivan)

Here is one more video of Sullivan from his Christmas sing at school.

Sullivan's Christmas Sing!

(Double click on the video to open it in a larger window)

Sullivan's school put on it's annual Christmas sing for his class.  Sullivan did his share of standing without singing, but he did a pretty good job participating too.  He is getting big and really trying hard to keep up with his brother and sister.  The cast is off his hand and he is ready to see his cousins and grandparents tonight!  Maybe he will sing them a song, but probably not. -Daddy

Santa and the kids

Here is one more with Santa...  We have some great kids and I am sure Santa will reward them this year for being good (most of) this year.

Kids with Santa 2014... Unrealistic expectations

The kids enjoyed visiting Santa again this year.  Santa asked each of them to work on something, and they each got to ask Santa for a present from Christmas.  Sullivan is very excited about a bike with training wheels!, Hannah asked for chapter books, and Reilly asked for something a bit out of his range.  Reilly has been asking for an iPhone 6 Plus and a puppy.  We have explained to him that Santa will not bring him something things, and he knows that, but he asked anyway.  We will see what Santa delivers!

Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree...

The kids had fun picking out a Christmas tree this year.  As you can see they are all getting pretty big.  Sullivan recently announced that "Daddy his is favorite" (over his Mom).  Daddy is pretty thrilled about that, it was about time.

Field trip

Hannah is on a third grade trip to pan for gold in Dahlonega, GA today! So fun! I'm glad she's experiencing something I did as a kid and have such fond memories! Here's a picture of her and her sweet friend!

Soccer love

To say this kid loves soccer is an understatement! Here he is celebrating a goal this weekend!

Round 2

And Sullivan has yet another broken bone:-( He broke his third metacarpal yesterday just running around the house. This marks the 2nd broken bone for him in less than a year. Headed to orthopedic doc tomorrow or Tuesday for a cast and prognosis.

Hannah

And last but certainly not least-Hannah!

Sullivan

And my other handsome fella!!

Reilly

Sorry we've been slackers at posting this year!!

Here's a sweet school picture of Reilly! Such a handsome fella!

Speaking of birthdays and parties...

Sullivan had a kicking birthday party too....

Reilly and his entourage...

Guess who is six years old?

This guy!

Reilly had an awesome birthday.  His mother and father could not be prouder of him.  We even got an unsolicited email from his teacher informing us of how good he is.  That's right, a teacher said he is awesome!

Happy birthday big guy!

No good pictures of the cousins...

Really, I did't get any good pictures of the cousins...

I think I see disdain for the camera man in this picture.

God Bless Hannah (Hannah's first communion)!

Hannah's first communion was today and she had lots of family here to support her.  Bebe, Poppa, G, Pop, Uncle Bill, Aunt Leigh, Aunt Jillian, and her cousins Cecilia, Charlie, and Winston (Sorry I didn't get good pictures of Jillian and the cousins) all came to see Hannah on her big day.  Of course, Mommy, Daddy, Reilly, and Sullivan are proud of our Hannah.

It is official... Sullivan is 3!

I think it is obvious from these pictures, Sullivan is one happy three year old!  He had a great day with a party at school, fun time at Monkey Joe's, dinner at a pizza joint (where he played video games the whole time), and opening presents.  We love our "little" guy, who isn't so little anymore. -Mommy and Daddy.

Sullivan's first haircut

Sullivan had his first haircut in October (2013).  It was LONG, but Stephanie loved the curls.  Now they are all gone and he is getting big.

Digging through the archives... Pumpkin patch 2013

Sullivan MIGHT have needed a haircut, but Mom likes to hang on as long as possible.  

It is a tradition for us to go to the same pumpkin patch and get mad at each other while we try to get the ideal image of the three of them together.  It worked pretty well this year!

They do love each other, sometimes.
