Our sweet Jack

Happy 4 Months sweet Jack!

You are learning all kinds of new tricks and changing daily!!

You love to spit bubbles with your mouth. You think it is very funny.

You found your feet this week and enjoy attempting to take your socks off.

You love to watch your brothers play.

They are normally right in your face and you don't mind one bit. You love the attention.

You can sleep through anything and can sleep anywhere. I hope you keep that up.

You can roll over but have trouble getting your arm out from under you which makes you upset.

You have loved your swing since you were born but lately you haven't enjoyed it as much. You would rather be in your bouncey seat or on your play mat.

This week you have started taking naps in your crib instead of the swing. You normally take 3 good naps during the day but sometimes cat nap in between.

You sleep all night in your bed and normally sleep 10-12 hours.

You are a laid back happy baby and we love you SO much!

Did I mention your brothers are CRAZY about you? They call you "little buddy" which makes me laugh every time I hear that name.

Happy 5th Birthday!

Happy Birthday to our Peyton man! (I know, a couple weeks late. The blog has been on the back burner for a while, but I will get with it some day.) This year we celebrated big by going to Jump Zone the Saturday before his actual birthday! He'd been asking for a Jump Zone party for while and he finally got it.

I love this picture with all my sweet crazy boys.

On the morning of his birthday I made him his all time favorite thing for breakfast with a candle.

That afternoon we joined his class at school and celebrated his birthday again. Parker was happy to be "big" enough to go.

For dinner we let him choose where to eat. He chose, "that chocolate place" aka Market Place. After our meal they brought out this to him. Nothing like a load full of chocolate right before bedtime.

The week of Peyton's birthday his teacher asked him to bring pictures of his favorite things. She chooses a different child each week and they take turns being the "Star of the week." These are the pictures he chose to bring.

Peyton,

We are so proud of you. You are a HUGE blessing to our family. We pray for you every day and can't wait to see how the Lord will use you. We know He has big plans for you!

I love you more than you'll ever know!!

First Soccer Game

This is Peyton's first year to play soccer and he has loved it. A few days ago they had there first game and he scored five goals. He was excited. After the game he told me that he heard me cheering for him and it made him run faster. Ha!

Peyton was happy to have a uniform and be on a real team. Go Dynamo's!

Parker was not happy when he couldn't be on the field with Bubba. Luckily, Uncle Nick showed up with doughnuts which made him happy. Thanks Uncle Nick!

Goal! I love his face in this picture that my Dad took with his iphone.

Peyton had quite the crew cheering him and his team on to a victory!

Last night, Shiloh beat the #1 team in 5A, Watson Chapel! I had to miss the game so I could take care of this sweet baby who has been sick with his first fever.

He's feeling much better now. This coming Monday is Shiloh's big football game that we play in Dallas Cowboy Stadium. We play Euless Trinity, the #1 team in the country. It will be a big game!

It's That Time Again

Football season has begun at the Floyd house. The boys love every minute of it which keeps it fun for all of us. Even though the real games haven't started yet our schedules have stayed busy with football activities. We are so proud of our Daddy and love going to everything to support him.

Last night we had pictures for the football program. It was so hot and luckily they didn't take long at all. After the pictures the team had practice so the other coaches wives and I took our kids, all 12 of them, ages 7 and below, to Chick-fil-a for dinner. It was pretty exciting to say the least.

Here's our picture for the year. I'm okay with it. We were all dripping with sweat and ready to leave.

Last Friday was the Blue Gold game. Josh got the boys jersey's this year to match our quarterback, Kiehl. The kids love him and he's so good to them. We really couldn't ask for better players who don't mind my kids hanging all over them.

A couple of weeks ago my parents had the football team over to their house for a pizza party. (Thanks Mom and Dad for letting the entire team and coaching families come over! You're the best!) Everyone had fun swimming, playing foosball and pool in the game room. I think we had a total of 80 people there.

How many guys can you fit in a hot tub?

Back in July we had our annual coaches retreat. This year we went to Tulsa. It was so much fun. The guys did lots of working and the girls had fun hanging out and shopping. We couldn't ask for a better coaching staff. These girls are some of my best friends and I couldn't make it through each season with out them! I'm so blessed to have them while our husbands are all working very late hours this time of year. This year the Gilder's joined the staff. They are such a great family and lots of fun.

Shiloh's first game is on August 30 in the Hooten's Classic against Watson Chapel. Our first three games are going be on TV, two of which will be on national television. It should be an exciting year!

Well, this is our last weekend to be football free for awhile so Josh and I are going on a date tonight with some of our best friends and I can't wait! Hope everyone has a good weekend.

Ten Weeks Already?

Mr. Jack is growing like crazy. He's already outgrown most of his 0-3 clothes. This has been our first week with our big boys at school and Jack has enjoyed soaking up all the attention. On Monday we went for his two month check up which also included his first found of shots. Notice his band-aid on his little leg. Poor guy.

This is pretty much what his brothers have done every day when they get home from school, give him lots of extra loving. I think Jack is wondering what happened to the nice quiet house that he had been enjoying.

Jack and I have been getting out running errands that would have taken way too long with three boys. We stopped by Daddy's football practice one morning too.

At Jack's two month checkup he weighed 12 pounds, 4 ounces (50%) and was 21 1/2 inches long (25%). We have a little chunk on our hands. He now drinks formula every feeding and doing great with the bottle. Jack's still not on set schedule during the day but normally sleeps from 9:30pm-4am and then wakes up at 7am for the day. Except last night he slept from 9pm-6am. Yea Jack! Hopefully this will start being his new trend. We love you Jack and can't wait to see what the Lord has planned for your sweet precious life.

First Day of School

This year my big boys will be at Shiloh together. Peyton is doing the 4 year old Pre-K, five days a week, and Parker will do to the 3 year old Pre-K program two days a week. They both were excited to start school and see their friends. I still can't believe how fast this summer went by. But we are all ready to be on a more normal schedule.

This year Peyton has Mrs. Chenier. He was so excited when he found out she was going to be his teacher for the year. His two best friends, Carter and Alex, are in his class which he is excited about too.

Parker has Mrs. Brunton. Peyton had her last year and we are thrilled to have her again! His friend, Jackson, and cousin Reese are in his class too. It should be a fun year for them. This morning when I got him out of bed he started talking a million miles an hour about all the fun things he was going to do at Shiloh that day. It was hilarious.

First Soccer Practice

This year Peyton is playing soccer for the first time. He's excited to be on a real team. Last night he had his first practice and it was hilarious watching his team! Parker was also able to join the practice since other players were out of town this week.

Peyton ready to go to practice.

They had a mini practice game and the score was 2-0. Peyton scored both of those goals!

Cooling off at the end because it was so HOT!
