Kaeleigh and Rob Tull's Wedding

Let me introduce you to Mr and Mrs Rob Tull!
The little girl that made me an aunt grew up and got married yesterday!
They are just the cutest couple who waited until their wedding day to have their first kiss!  Such a special moment to be a part of as you could just see what true wedded bliss looks like through their eyes!
Kaeleigh of course looked beautiful as always and Rob looked pretty spiffy too.  ;-)
They will be going to Italy for their honeymoon!
We are so excited for your new journey but sad to see you move away.  At least we will be able to see you at the holiday's!
Congratulations Rob and Kaeleigh!  We love you both!

I absolutely LOVE the picture below...you can just see how excited they were to be married!

Colton's Birthday Card From Class

Colton's classmates (all 3 years old) made him a card for his birthday.  They are all very cute, sweet drawings until you see what my son drew.  Hmmmm...Interesting to say the least!  Kraig and I both laughed a lot at this!  Good memories for when he is older!
Well...lets just say he is all boy!  LOL

Pianalto Hayride 2012

Saturday afternoon the Pianalto's had a potluck and hayride.  This was a first for Colton and Taylor.  We all had a great time!  The kids got to play together while the adults caught up (as much as we could between feeding babies, changing diapers, etc).  Kraig was playing in a golf tournament so all the guys pitched in and helped me wrangle the older kids when needed.  Thanks for having us Casey, Justin, Colby and Ava!  Thanks for taking pictures for me Stacy, Lindsey and Jason!
I didn't get many pictures of Lauren because she didn't want to sit by me...she wanted to sit by Mr Jason on the back.

Colton wanted to hold my hand (and I wanted to hold his) the whole hayride!  I loved it!
Chewing on her hands (they hayride put her to sleep!)
Colton kept blocking his eyes from the sun so I gave him my sunglasses.  He only wore them for a short time and gave them back but I had to take a picture.  Love this boy!

All the kids!

Happy 3rd Birthday Colton!

My BABY boy is officially 3 now!  I can't believe it.  It seems like yesterday he was born.  Click here for those pics!
Things about you at 3:
  • You are just the cutest thing ever right now with a little 'spirit' included (and by spirit I mean ornery/strong willed just like me).
  • You love to play with cars/trucks/planes/trains/guns/make towers...anything boy!
  • You are now potty trained (still working on #2 but #1 you are good to go) and only wear a pull up at night.
  • You call your undies panties because you have an older sister and that's all you have heard until now.
  • You love your little sister and always give her a hug WITH a kiss...you can't just give her one or the other.
  • You love to play with your big sister and in an all boy fashion love to wreck things she builds and laugh about it.
  • You have the sweetest voice when you say "sissy will you play with me?"
  • Your personality is just so cute and you are starting to laugh and tell jokes even more than you used to.
  • You love to run around (with or without clothes).
  • You love to announce when you toot and will laugh afterwards.  :-)
  • Your best friends at school are Tate, Abby and Dylan.
  • I'm learning that you like to do things in a certain way/order.  For instance one day I was trying to put your undies/pants/socks and shoes on and then have you stand up.  You said "no...that's not how it goes" and I realized you wanted to stand up, pull your pants up and then sit back down to put your shoes on because they of course go on last!  :-)  You are so like me it's scary!  You would think I would know how to deal with this but since we are so alike I have to check myself at times too and am learning in the process.  I remember the first time I left Lauren overnight.  I started crying when I was telling my sister Tammy how to do things because the pack n play was not in the same direction we had it at home!  LOL  So I guess I have passed on my OCD to my son.  :-)

I took cupcakes to your class Friday to share with your friends.
Here's the video of your classmates singing you happy birthday.

Colton's 3 Year Check Up

Kraig took Colton for his 3 year check up yesterday to get his flu mist.  He did great and was happy to spend time with daddy.  They went to Kraig's work before the appointment and after the doctor he was sad to go to school as he wanted to go back to daddy's work.  :-(
You are right along the same lines as Lauren was at 3 (32 lbs and 38 inches).  Click here for those pics.
Stats:
10/18/2012
33 lbs
37.8 inches
50th percentile for both
Reading a book and getting his flu mist like a big boy!

Taylor is 15 Weeks Old!

Taylor Marie is 15 weeks now and weighs 15 lbs 2 oz!  Colton weighed this at 14 weeks and he was a pound smaller at birth!  Click here for those pics.
Taylor's new hair growth is coming in blonde and I'm LOVING it!  The back of her head is still really dark, but the front is much lighter.
She is our little talker (and sometimes loves to do this at 5 am before going back to sleep).
She has started sucking her thumb!  This is a first for us as both L&C never did this.
She loves to watch Lauren and Colton and will smile and coo at them.  Both Lauren and Colton love to sing songs to her and kiss and hug her...they are great siblings!
I can't wait to see all three of them grow up together!

Sorry I can't pick just one photo to put on here!
Baby Chub anyone?
Onesie thanks to Nona!

Lauren Has Strep

Lauren started complaining her throat hurt Sunday morning.  I thought it was just allergies since the weather keeps switching back and forth from hot to cold and back again so I didn't think much of it.  Monday when I picked her up from school she was still saying it hurt but she was not running a fever so I still thought it was just allergies.  By Monday night she was not wanting to eat because it hurt and was more tired than normal.  So I called the Dr office and they luckily were still open but didn't have an appointment until 8:30 pm.  Kraig took her while I stayed home with Colton and Taylor.  It turns out she had strep.  :-(  So the doctor gave us a prescription for antibiotics.  Kraig dropped it off at Walgreens and came home.  Lauren went to bed around 9:30 but the prescription wasn't ready until 10:30...so I picked up the prescription, woke Lauren up (she was totally out of it btw), gave her the meds and went to bed around 11.  We all slept great that night and she stayed home from school Tuesday.  By Tuesday afternoon and 2 rounds of meds she was feeling great!
Stats:
43.44 lbs
44.88 inches
She fell asleep on the doctors table while waiting for him to see her.

Colton's 3rd Birthday Party - Chuck E Cheese

Sunday afternoon we celebrated Colton's 3rd birthday a little early.  He wanted a Chuck E Cheese party even though he has never been (except when I was pregnant with him.  Click here for that party).  The only thing he knew about it was from TV commercials he has seen.  It's a little crazy in there because there are other parties going on right next to you but the kids had a great time and Colton got to spend time with his friends and play games!
Thanks for celebrating with us!
