The birthday boys!!!

I am little late on this post but Evan and Derek had their birthdays at the end of August. Evan is officially 8 and Derek is officially 4! I love that their birthdays are so close together! For some siblings that might not work out but it works very well for them! They love to celebrate together! It seems to work for Ryan too because people feel bad that he is the only one not getting a gift so he gets one too! ;) When I was pregnant with Derek I was trying to will myself to give birth on Evan's birthday because I thought it would be sweet if they shared a birthday but no such luck! Two days later they induced me because Ryan was a 10lb-er baby and they worried that my 3rd boy would be a little sumo wrestler. Turns out he was only 8lb 7 oz... still not too shabby. But my boys are growing up and I am so very proud!

The big boy bed

Derek has been telling us for a week or so that he is too big for a crib and he needs a big boy bed. Of course, he is. He is almost 3 1/2 but since he is the "baby" I guess I have been slower to make the transition this time. Evan was in a big boy bed by the time he turned 2. Well tonight we made the big move and he was so excited...so here is my baby in his big boy bed. Seriously, when did my baby get so big?

Also, tonight Evan told me I was so lucky because Dave has to work and they all have to go to school and I get to just stay home and do nothing. What am I going to do with this kid?! ;)
