On our way to NRH2O, we made a quick stop at Sonic for some ice cold drinks.  All of a sudden Hayden screams, "Mommy, Liam is out of his seat!!".  I quickly turn around and sure enough the crazy boy was standing in front of his seat trying to work his way toward the other kids.  I do not know how he did it, but he unbuckled the top buckle and one of the bottom ones and squeezed his way completely out, leaving the other buckle still buckled.  Oh My!!!  I think we might be heading toward some fun times :)  

Why Jesus is skinny

In the car...

Hayden:  "Mom, I know why Jesus is skinny and not fat"
Mom: "You Do?"
Hayden: "Yes! Because he never eats.  When you go to Heaven you are never hungry, thirsty, or have any pain."

Love, Love, Love....

I took Liam to the pediatrician tonight to get checked for an ear infection. We were sitting on the exam table with Hayden waiting for the doctor to come in. There was a knock on the door and then Dr. Allison came into the room.
Hayden says, "why did you knock?"
Dr. Allison replies, "I was trying to be polite."
Hayden: "Oh okay"
Hayden: "Your old"
Dr. Allison: laughs, and says "this is why I love kids. Its ok mom. Hayden, I'm old?"
Hayden "you look old"
Dr. Allison: How old do I look?"
Hayden: "I dont know." Thinks for a minute and then says "six!!! seven, eight, nine!!!"
Dr. Allison: laughs again and says " sounds good to me"

Oh my goodness. Kids say the craziest things. I was so embarrased. I could not believe he even said that.

We ended the visit with a lollipop and sticker. I sure do love our pediatrician office. They love us, despite how crazy it is when the Estes family comes through the doors. :)

Last night affter soccer skills, and volleyball practice we went to grab a bite to eat. We were sitting and talking about Hayden having headaches. Hannah says "Who invented headaches and when did they invent them?" Silly girl! I don't think anyone would want to "invent" a headache. It gave us a good conversation afterwards.

We have come to a conclusion, if you want our boy to focus, then everything needs to be in the form of a fun game. Last night at soccer skills, our son was more focused and obeying better than I have seen him in over a year. He loved his British coaches, and he was our little soccer star. :) He came out of hiding and showed us he can listen. He was on a roll for an hour and a half. Everytime they got a break, he would run over get a sip of water and run back to his ball and quitely wait until coach told him what to do.

Hailey and Hannah loved the british accent. Hannah said, "mom they talk a different language"
Actually baby girl, they speak the same language just a different accent then us. :)

Hayden loved hearing "kick the bull" - which was acually "kick the ball"

What a great experience. Looking forward to the net 5 weeks of skills training.

Liam can say "hey" and waves to everyone he sees. It is super cute.
He is also saying Han-nah, but not very consistent yet.

Enjoying our babies everyday. Can not believe they are 9, 7, 4 1/2 and 14 mths. Time sure does fly.

Just too cute to not remember :)

Torticollis

Therapy is helping this special boy with his torticollis :) The tilt is much better.

Halloween 2011

My cousin, Carolyn, her husband and son came over on Halloween to do a little trick or treating! My camera was broken so I used another cheap camera so the pictures are not very good. Very blurry!!! The kids had a blast as usual going door to door and got to see a lot of their school friends. We have a really good neighborhood for trick or treating! Afterwards we sat on the front porch and the kids re-handed out most of their candy. They got to keep 15 pieces and the rest went into the bowl to hand out. They enjoyed passing out the candy. It only took about 10 minutes with the handfuls they gave each person and then our bowl was empty. It was late and we hadnt had dinner, so we called it a night. Shane and I got some food and watched a scary movie :)

Riley wanted to push baby Liam everywhere. :)

Aww!!! Cousin Love!
