Life with three little guys has been pure joy but also ultra challenging. The schedule has been out of control some weeks but we are hoping to get in a better routine now that the holidays are over.
Although Sam is the perfect baby (shhh! Don't tell his brothers!), he hasn't been sleeping through the night. Jack & Henry slept through the night at 6 weeks old so going without sleep is a whole different ball game for us.
I actually have gotten used to it but the biggest thing it has affected is getting to work out. I can't stay up late to get in a workout & getting up any earlier just isn't happening. But I'm hoping to change that this week.
My goal is to get in 3 workouts this week. I'll check back in at the end of the week and see how I did. I'd love to also get back to my sweets only on days that start with S rule! Maybe we'll just make one change per week! :)

Henry 2013
Henry Richard is a rambunctious, curious, thoughtful, mischievous, loving little guy. He challenges me almost daily to think before I speak, ask why about my choices and to depend on my Lord.
Henry likes to eat green beans, almond milk, chips, popcorn, hot dogs, bread of any kind, and anything sweet, especially chocolate. He is a solid water drinker which is awesome but might also mean that I buy pull-ups for the next decade! Argh!
If the weather is nice Henry wants to be outside. If the weather is bad Henry wants to be outside. :) He runs, jumps, digs, collects rocks, and rides his bike as often as he can.
His preschool teachers, Mrs Jamie & Ms. Judy, adore him. They often tell us that he makes them laugh, is really smart and generally obedient. He talks about playing with Luke, Jim and the other Henry (who is in the 4 yr old class). He knows his alphabet and can count almost to 20.
He LOVES Transformer Rescue Bots, playing Subway Surfer on the iPad, and all things LEGO. He could play Legos for hours and hours Every. Single. Day.
Although I thought I would only write positive things, its hard to think of Henry and not think of mischief! Often times when I am feeding Sam, my dear Henry is off doing something crazy. Just a few recent gems - pulling all the Christmas tree lights off the front bushes in less than 10 minutes, pouring out a whole container of Nesquik dry mix to make a dirt track on the table with his cars, drawing with marker on the carpet to practice his numbers, and saying as many "bad words" as possible before I can get to him.
Joys of a three year old boy! He melts my heart!

Globetrotters
My super generous brother Nate took us to the Globetrotters Friday night at the UTC arena.
These guys put on an amazing performance. The boys cracked up several times at the various antics on court. It takes a lot to get a good belly laugh out of my boys so I know it was funny!
Two of the players stood on the basketball goal and played around like a monkey. I'm pretty sure Henry would try it at home if he could figure out how to get up there.
Hated to leave early but about an hour and half into the show, two little heads started bobbing and eyes started closing. I didn't want to be stuck carrying 90 lbs (their combined weight) all the way to the car. We will certainly go to another show if they come to town again!

Creek
Who doesn't love 60 degrees & sunny in January?!?! Just what we needed this weekend.
Jake's parents have a creek bed at the back of their property that is typically dry. With all the rain last week there was a good foot of water running over the rocks.
Some days I'd rather just keep the boys occupied in the house because its easier with Sam. Honestly its selfish and lazy. Thankful the Lord gave us some gloriously enticing weather! I couldn't keep Henry in if I tried!
