Baby Jude

Looks like a smile to me.

He just about rolled over before I took this one.

Love those hands.

The hundred pound baby. Love those chins.

Lincoln Children's Museum

The whole family. Notice Paul holds Jude whenever possible.

Jude just chilled out the whole time. He is such a good little baby.

This is the funnest room in the whole place. We had a blast catching shadows and droping them on each other. I don't know how it works, but it is amazing.

Paul and Adam had a BLAST in the water room. They left soaked but happy.

Noah had fun too, but surprisingly he stayed dry. Who knew that was even possible??

Easter

Jude wouldn't wake up for Easter pictures, so I brought Easter to him

Adam Paul Jude and Noah shoing off those cute shirts and smiles.

I wanted to get a professional family pic for Easter, but I think this will have to do. I don't think I'm up to a studio pic, I'll save that kind of stress for Christmas!

Paul David

Paul is my big boy. He is 9 and will be 10 in a couple months. He is in third grade and loves school. He loves his friends and really enjoys learning. He is a very protective big brother. He was soo excited to see Jude was a brunette. He really wanted to have a brother that looked like him, and his wish was really granted! He has his own mini-me now. He loves to hold the baby and is very sweet with all his brothers. He has a pretty good sense of humor too. He is always cracking me up.

Adam Joshua

Adam is 7 years old and in first grade. Just look at that boy, can you believe he lives on candy, cake, ice cream and beef jerky? Well, if he got to choose anyway. It's hard to deny a boy that skinny treats though! He is really growing, suddenly all his pants are too short.
Adam is the best little brother you could ever hope for. He has always been just crazy for Paul. He is so supportive of him and wants to be just like him. Adam is an amazing student and loves school. He is a very sensitive soul and is as sweet and loving as any mom could hope for.

Noah Steven

Noah is three years old, four in a couple months. He is my GO boy. He always wants to go, somewhere, anywhere. The other boys are homebodies, but Noah will say yes to about any offer to go. He loves to go play outside and runs the battery out on his new four wheeler every chance he gets. He loves to run with his big brothers, and he is very sweet and loving with baby Jude. Though we were a little worried how that would go at the beginning, I think Noah is starting to like having a baby to help care of. He is such a sweet boy.

Baby Jude Troy

Jude was born April 3, 2009. He was 20 1/2 inches long and was 8 lbs 3 oz. Not bad, considering he was 16 days early. Jude is the sweetest baby. He hardly cries and sleeps all the time. Dave wanted to take him into the doctor to see what was wrong with him. But, I convinced Dave that we might have just been blessed with a good baby. Hopefully, nothing changes!
