Our Little Man

Jackson at Eight Weeks

Connor's Crazy Hair

Just had to document Connor's crazy mo-hawk. :)
It fits his personality perfectly.

LightbulbTurkeys

We FINALLY finished our turkeys that we started 3 weeks ago when grandma was here. The idea came from here, but you can buy all the supplies at Hobby Lobby.

You need one lightbulb per turkey.
They had these cute mini light bulbs too, so we made "baby turkeys" for the kids. My mom made a template for the feathers while she was here, and cut them out from orange and brown felt. We also used the felt for the rest of the pieces. Everything was attached with tacky craft glue, but you could probably use a glue gun too. Will's job was to unscrew all the light bulb lids and fill them with candy corn.
I just drew the eyes on with a sharpie.
We are going to use them as place card holders for thanksgiving.

My little turkey. :)

Scratch Mittens

These little mittens have been a life saver for us! I got the pattern for them on this blog, and they were super quick to make. They stay on really well too.

This is Jack at about a week old with his mittens on. I promise to update with more recent pictures soon. He is growing and changing so much every day!!

Jackson Brian

Jackson Brian Atwood joined our family 3 weeks early on September 8th. He was our biggest baby at 6 pounds, 4 ounces and 18 1/2 inches long! :)


Big brothers LOVE him, and have been adjusting well. It is still hard to believe that we are now a family of five, and that I am a mom of 3 boys! I am hoping to keep everyone updated with pictures here on my blog, but we will see how that goes. ;)
We have been busy this year with a kitchen update and STILL trying to sell our house. The boys turned 4 and 1 in March, and we had lots of fun with a pirate birthday party and a visit from Grandpa, Grandma and Ashlee, and Alisa and Drew. The church has been keeping Jason super busy, and we are getting ready to build a new auditorium.
Will started K4 Abeka video school, and we LOVE it! It keeps him occupied during Connor's nap time, and gives me a couple of hours in the afternoon to get things done. Yay!!
Well, those are the main things that are new with us. I know my 3 readers were getting tired of seeing my "Connor Crawling" blog post.
By the way, Connor has mastered crawling, walking, and now just runs wherever he goes. It's faster. ;)

Connor Crawling

This was our attempt of getting a video of Connor crawling. Will was supposed to "bait" him with the phone, but he got too distracted trying to play a game. :)
