the weekly | thirty four

first day of school for these guys! 

grey is in 2nd grade and couldn't wait to start school this year. he was so ready! he has a great teacher and is making new friends. 

tuck man started kindergarten at home with me this year. we are hoping to learn lots and grow lots and i know it's going to be challenging but rewarding for us all. 

they both are growing so so much. boys turning into men quite quickly.

we found out while Grey and Tuck were gone that we are having a little girl! so we decided on having a surprise confetti party in the backyard once they got home to reveal if they were having a little brother or a little sister. Grey couldn't wait to get home to find out :) 

we had this whole plan of rigging up a bucket with confetti and when they pulled it JUST the confetti would fall. instead they all three pulled the rope and the entire bucket fell. 

they were still surprised and had a blast playing with all the pink confetti! 

sweet Tuck has declared the entire time God was giving him a "grill" (his way of saying girl) so when he saw the pink he said, "i wanted a  GRILL and God gave us a grill!!!!! i knew it!!!!" 

we told the boys they would have to protect a sister so they all got prepared with guns in hand. 

this is such a fun memory for us as a family. and this girl is going to be smothered and covered in love and protection!

Grey and Tuck were at cousin camp all week which allowed for some very fun one on one time with Will. i thought he may be sad without them but not surprisingly he instead enjoyed every single moment of our 100% attention. 

we took him to dinner and coffee the night before the other two came home and he was such a little joy! it was so fun to hear all his little thoughts and have lots of attention for just him for a week.

chicago!!!!

this is just a phone snapshot of our trip which i hope i get to expand upon soon. what an incredible time we had! 

we drove the whole way up in one day and split it on the way home to stop at Mammoth Cave. (which was AWESOME!) the boys did better than i ever could have dreamed in the car. that was one long trip but they managed to entertain themselves so very well.

our time with David, Steph, Maddie, and Tyson was just really great. We were able to spend the best quality time together for an extended period of time. We ate delicious food, saw some really cool stuff, and just were able to be together. 

Can't wait to head back.
