Little Red

April 17, 2014
He is the funniest, wildest, most feisty kiddo I know!  He is determined to grow up way too fast.  He was our youngest to crawl at 6 months and youngest to walk at 11 months.  He is a climber, dumpster diver, bottom feeder, into everything, escape artist.  I don't know how to contain him, just keeping him safe has proven to be a challenge.  But man is he cute!  And he is the best cuddler ever!  (He wasn't as a baby, apparently he had to grow into it.)  ;)  

 Love this little fire ball!  

New/Updated Rooms

January 2014
It has taken me a very long time to put Grant's room together.  I have always had baby rooms done before they were born, but #4 proved to be the one that I relaxed a bit with.  :)  But it's finally (almost) done.  What I've been (slowly) up to lately:  Grants room

I love the owls!  It took HOURS to put up, but it made the room!  

I love his new bedding!!  

His door.  (The nickname was Patrick's idea.)

It's not quite done yet, but I love it so far.  :)

Reagan's room was due for an update too, she is a big girl now, so it seemed time.  :)  Of course her room is missing some little things too, but overall, it's coming along nicely!  Reagan's room.

We love polka dots!  :)

We plan to get her a wall mounted TV/DVD (she likes to watch the same movies over and over and over.) but this one works for now.  :)  

She lives in style! :) (This was her birthday present!) 

She seems to like her new setup.  And it's been fun getting to do some projects again!  :)

Grant is a crawler... :/

Cute squishy little dude!

And at 6 months old, almost to the day, Grant figured out how to do this...  Oh man!!

He seems determined to grow up as fast as possible!  Which makes me sad.  But he is one silly, cute, naked baby!  :)

Everyday Fun...

October 2013:

These are some of the random things on my camera!

Our wonderful friends, the Bogle family moved to Texas.  :(  We were all very sad to see them go!

Grant fights sleep like it's the most horrible thing anyone could make him do... except of course when he randomly falls asleep at loud sports events with his hat on backwards and spit up all over the front of him.  :) 

Harrison likes to make things.  Forts, Lego cities, drawings... everyday it's something.  So, when he happened to see a couple of boxes that were headed for the garbage, he instantly claimed them.  With a little duct tape and some imagination they became his star ship.  :)

Harrison's artwork. It's our Salisbury Family. He loves to draw! And he did a great job! (The little banana looking things are babies in our family.)  But if you look real close, you can see who he forgot about! ....That's right, I'm the headless miniature character in the corner. Why is mom always the afterthought. Hahaha.

Jackson really loves to draw too!!  He is always drawing, I can't keep enough paper in this house!  But I love to see what he comes up with!  He has a lot of imagination!! (And there is always an underlying Star Wars theme in everything that goes on in this house!)  ;) 

The boys got their school pictures!  Such handsome studs, they are!  :)

Grant's Blessing Pics

Love this cute boy!!  He has the best smile and giggle ever!  :) 
August 14th: 

I took these, so they aren't the best, which makes me sad!  But what can you do?!  He is still the cutest boy ever!  :)

Mr. Grant

Newborn Pics:  4 weeks old (June)
I don't have much to add.  :)  He is a sweet sweet boy! 

And he was very tired. ;)

 

Grant's Blessing

While we had our parents in town, we decided to make every second count, so we blessed Grant on Sunday, June 2nd, 2013.  :)  He was super cute in his outfit, even though it was a little big on him.  (He was only 3 weeks old.)  But all went well and Patrick gave him a beautiful blessing.  :)

We felt very loved, we had so much support!  It was a busy weekend, but a wonderful one!  I couldn't help but get emotional at the drop of a hat.  :) To have this era of our lives summed up in a weekend that had our oldest being baptized and our youngest being blessed was very surreal.  And I couldn't help but look at these people that are mine and feel a little overwhelmed and very blessed!  We have our family, our whole and complete family.  It's a wonderful feeling! 

I love my little forever family!  :)

Welcome Home!

The days and weeks that follow having a new baby are always a little blurry for me.  ;)  But luckily I remembered to at least take some pictures!  Patrick got to be home for a couple of weeks, which was a huge relief. I was kinda terrified of being home alone with all 4 kids!  haha.  What have I gotten myself into? ;) And we got to have Uncle Kenny with us for almost a week.  (He was very good and making sure the older 3 had some fun! Because Mom and Dad were pooped!)  :)

 Kenny was letting Reagan feel like the baby just one more time.  ;)

This is where she has to sit while I feed him... every time I feed him.  It's a little crowded, but it makes her happy.  ;)

 So sweet!  :)

I still can't tell who he looks like, I think he's a good mix of both his brothers.  But we'll just have to wait and see.  :)

He seems so sweet in these pictures, but don't be deceived, this is one feisty little boy!  ;)  He is a screamer and he is stubborn.  But to be fair to him, he is the 4th kid, so maybe he's just making sure we don't forget about him. haha. And man alive, if he isn't cute!  ;)
