OUCH!!!

We took the boys in for their shots last week. I knew Kaden needed the Hep A & a flu shot. Well when we got there they told me he also needed his "kindergarten" shots. I was going to wait on those but the nurse didn't really give us that option so he got 5 shots. Jack got 4 shots and Kyler got 3 plus an oral vaccine. It was not a good morning. I was surprised because at every dr. office we have been to in the past they did the shots all at once so it was over very quick. At this dr. there is just one nurse that gives the shots so it is one at a time! You can imagine how Kaden & Jack reacted. It seemed to take forever! Of course every shot they gave was a little more painful then the last. Poor Guys!
I tried to get a pic of all of them with their bandaids but it just didn't work out.

Leaves

Fall would not be complete without playing in the leaves.

I think it is safe to say he doesn't like his hat & gloves

Jack really wanted to go outside today. So we put his coat on and he was happy but when we put the hat & gloves on this is what happend...

Oh and I started recording about 5 minutes into his tantrum.

The Next Big Boy Band

Remember you saw them here first. The Barker Brothers will be on a stage near you in say 15 years.

That is Kaden on Piano, Jack on guitar, and Kyler on vocals. Sometimes we also get our beagle Riley on vocals as well. I know you are all jealous you don't live here with such musical talent!

One of those moments

This is one of those moments when your children just melt your heart and you just say a quick prayer for the way God is working in your child's life.

We have prayed with our boys since the day they were born. We teach them both memorized prayers as well as what we call just talking with God prayers. But it was Kaden teaching Kyler to pray that got me. Kaden was holding Kyler and Kyler clasp his hands together.

Kaden said:
"oh Kyler you are doing praying hands."

"Kyler this is how you pray."

"Now I lay me down to sleep. I pray the Lord my soul to keep. Angels watch me
through the night until I wake with morning light. God, Thank you for letting me
be born. I really like it. Amen."

On the same topic: Whenever we pray I start my saying "Thank you God for... and wait for the boys to fill in the blanks. I can always count on Jack jumping in first with an enthusiastic "Daddy". Then everyone else (or in some cases things) are added. I love it! It is truly part of the bedtime routine I love the most.

Oh My!

Here is where I left Kyler.

Here is where I found him.

I just had a little heart attack in the moment when I walked in and he wasn't where I left him and then another one when I saw Kaden holding him on the couch. What a big helper Kaden has become! Kaden said Kyler was crying so he picked him up. I heard Kyler crying and then he stopped so I assumed he had become content playing. Kyler was very happy when I walked in so I think Kaden must have done okay picking him up. In fact in this picture he is even kinda smiling at his big brother who rescued him from his tummy time.

Happy Halloween!

I love Halloween! The kids are jumping around the house this morning. They are so excited. These are the pictures from our churches Trunk- or -treat last Sunday. It was cold but the kids had a blast. Each trunk had a carnival type game and of course candy! Kaden & Jack are Super Why (a show on PBS/OETA) and Kyler is Superman. Jack said he wanted to be a cowboy but once he saw Kaden in his super why outfit he wanted to be that too.

My little Super Heros!

Even superheros have to take a break to eat. Jack ate 2 hotdogs and a whole bag of chips!

Let the candy overload begin!!!!
