One Used High Chair

I recently made the mistake of putting Kyle at the table in a booster, instead of his high chair. He loved it and will not sit in the high chair anymore. It is one of those "Mom Moments" when you **sniff sniff** realize he is growing up. There is the moment of yeah... another milestone and then the oh no... another milestone. Our big boy sitting at the table...




It is ok that Kyle does not need it anymore, but can I get rid of it? Kelly's best bud gave it to us when we were expecting our first and I have had it for all three of my babies to use. I am usually not the sentimental type, but it is a little sad to pack up the chair.

In other news... Kyle had his 15 month check up before we headed to Myrtle Beach and everything went great. He is in the 75% in height and weight. I think that Kyle is a little smaller than his brothers were at this age. Kyle is still not talking much, but the doctor did not seem to worry.

MYRTLE BEACH 2009

We had a FANTASTIC week in Myrtle Beach!!! It was so much fun catching up and getting to see the sites of the city. Sunday evening, they had baby sitters lined up for the kids and the adults had a night out. We went to a Brazilian Steakhouse and it was wonderful. (No, we did not plan on being color coordinated.)


After dinner, the boys jammed on the drums.




The "big man" with his dad.



Monday was rainy and cool, so we went to Chick Fil A for lunch to let the kids run off some energy.





Monday night we saw the Dixie Stampede. I think this was the boys favorite part of the trip.




Tuesday we hit Margaritaville and Magiquest at Broadway at the Beach.






Wednesday, we left Juli to take care of some business and we headed up to Johnny Rockets and Alligator Adventure. The boys touched a baby alligator and big snake. Kyle liked the alligators.









Thursday was beach day. The weather was beautiful and the water was not too cold. We played on the beach most of the afternoon and then headed over to the Nascar Speedpark. The boys were cautious drivers, but they had fun.



















Friday morning we enjoyed Krispy Kreme.





After lunch at Salsaritas, we headed to Charleston.




We enjoyed our vacation so much and did not want to come home.

Kelly and I met my cousin, Courtney, and her family in Charleston for dinner. We ate at Hyman's and walked around downtown Charleston for a quick tour.



Saturday morning, we flew out of Charleston. The boys thought it was cool to walk out to the airplane at Charleston.

SPRING BREAK!!!

I had every intention of updating before we left for Myrtle Beach, but we are about to walk out the door. Have a great week and we will be back next Saturday with plenty of pictures and stories.

Blue and Gold Banquet

Friday the 13th was cold and snowy and we had the annual Blue and Gold Banquet for the Cub Scouts. Jacob is now officially a WEBELO.


Jacob receiving his God and Me merit badge from our pastor. The Bears met with Monty for two afternoons to work on this badge.



The dessert for the evening were the cakes from the Dad and Lad contest. (You might remember the cake from last year.) Jacob decided to make a bucket of popcorn this year because the scouts sell popcorn in the fall. The cake turned out really cute (even though it looked more like a bowl, instead of a bucket) and they won the Grand Prize.

Jacob accepting his award for the cake.




Riley cannot wait to be a Cub Scout next year. I already purchased the boys uniforms and they are ready to wear them.

Thanks Kyra for the pictures...
