Tyson started at Head start today. He gets to go half a day(in the afternoon) and was so excited to go. He told me yesterday that he wanted to walk in all by himself. Of course he did change his mind and let me walk him in. He also was excited to wear his new car shoes, car backpack and had a huge smile on his face. I am so proud of him and his teacher said he did great. Its was a nice change. I got about a 1 1/2 break to just be by myself when Carter and Paxton where down for naps. Than it was off to pick Hunter up from school and an hour after that get Ty.
Well, we all got up nice and early for Hunter's big day. He was so excited and ready to go. This is defiantly something I am going to have to get used to. Not the whole Hunter going to school but me needing to be dressed and ready to leave out the door with him 8am. With 4 little ones its going to be quite the challenge some days. 
Hunter had quite the face in these pictures. He sure gets sick of me taking pictures sometimes.
Tyson and Hunter walking to his class room. I thought it was so cute that they were holding hands.
Tyson asked me If he could take a picture of Hunter. He got a great shot. I really have been looking forward to this day for awhile now. With having 4 kids under the age of 5 that still leaves me with 3 guys at home. But we sure miss him today. Hunter is such a great kid and I know he is going to learn so much. I just hope that when he gets home he had a great day. Tyson, is missing having his buddie around. Good thing he starts school next week to keep him busy.
Carter, had lots of fun today eating rice cereal for the first time. He has been my first one to actually at least try rice cereal so early, and not cry when I feed it to him. Some updates with Carter. He now in the 25% at 16lbs for weight and in his head and length it the 10%. He is talking a ton, grabbing everything in sight and putting in to his mouth, and rolling from his stomach to back. We sure love this little guy he is such a blessing.
Well, this past Tuesday, we packed our bags and with just me, my mom and the 4 boys headed to flagstaff. The boys were all very good in the car we just listened to music(mostly you had a bad day) they love this song from watching Alivin and the Chipmunks and ate way to much food.
When we arrived we got there before we could check in to our hotel room. We new this was going to happen and planed on walking around down town Flag. We had a great time and the boys got to see one of there most favorite things trains! It was great and they were way excited.
Carter fell a sleep while we were walking around. What a good baby he was.
Hunter, took this picture while we where in the car going to the hotel room. I turned around just in time. He did a great job with getting me in the center of the photo. The boys could not have been happier with sleeping in a hotel they loved that it had a pool. The big bonus was that we could see the trains pass by us in our room and while at breakfast each day. They loved it and got so excited. 
The next morning we woke up and got ready to go to the deer farm in Williams. It was about a 30min drive from Flag. Before we left we got some great pictures of the boys.
At the deer farm its great, all the deer come right up to you and you get to feed them. Hunter, was ok at first with feeding them but all of a sudden he fell. I don't know if you can see them but in the picture are those wooden board things on the ground(sorry don't know what they are called) anyways the deer backed him up and he fell right over them on his butt. It was so funny and the poor kid was crying. I could not help but laugh.
Paxton, was not to into the deer they were just a little much for him. When my mom was holding him a deer reached up and started to eat his shirt. Well he also started to cry! After that happened he would not stop telling me or my mom how the deer ate him.
The 3 older boys petting a deer. Well actually that is as close as Pax got on his own. Tyson, did ok with the deer but mostly just ran from them. We really did have a great time and they also had a ton more animals there to see but they were all behind fences.

After the deer farm and resting ,we went on another walk around town late that afternoon. One of the stops was the train station. The boys, wanted to sit there and wait for a train to come by. They had been coming by all day long so we thought for sure we would see one.
Tyson at one point thought he saw a train but no luck.
Well, to our dismay no train ever came. We waited for about 30min and finally left. They boys were just little disappointed. We had a great trip and left the next morning to come back home. It was a quick get away and we had a blast. It always fun to eat out for just about ever meal and just relax. Sometimes I wonder why we even go on vacation. To tell you the truth taking 4 small ones away from there environment sometimes is not fun and not what I would call vacation more like work. But this time it was lots of fun and a great little vaction for all. Thanks mom for everything.
Paxton, is always doing something funny. The other night I found him on Bob and Kathy's computer like this. He put his grandma's glasses on and was ready to work.
Just a cute picture of Pax, and Carter! Can you belive Carter is 5mths.
I know this is pro. not the best picture to show! But I never thought the day would come. I just had to share. Its been along rode to get Tyson potty trained about 8mths, and believe it or not I have even cried over this child, and his issues with not going on the toilet. But, I believe it's happened. He had been going pee and number 2 in the toilet for days now with out an accident. And just in time because he is going to be starting school soon and will be gone for half a day at Headstart.
Hunter, was just thrilled to go to swim lessons . He only got to come with us for the last week because, he had been going to a little day camp. He ended up learning few new things. We have always called Hunter our fish he just loves to swim.
One of the reason I did swim lesson's is mostly for Tyson. Being that he is 3, and also that we live in AZ, he needed to learn to like water. He has always be so afriad of the pool. Always just so content, to sit on the side and play. I must admit, I was a little nervous at how Ty would do. But in the end, Ty earns the Biggest Brightest Gold Star of all. He will now get in the pool, float in a ring, float on his back, put his face in the water, and with some help go all the way under the water. Way to go TYSON!!
And, last but not least our cute and very "strong willed"(that is what the teacher called him) Paxton. Pax and I did a mom and tot class together. That kid started out great in the water, and by the time we were done he wanted nothing to do with it. He told his teacher "NO" all the time and never would do a thing the class was doing. She, did get him to go under water once. After that happened he cried every time she got to close to us, in fear she would pro. make him do it again. Hopefully next year he will do a little better.
