Holland is 7 Months...almost 8 months!

Here we go again...I always do these when I'm almost to the next month! My work has slowed down a little, so this is the perfect time to catch up on all of this fun stuff!
She's the cutest little thing!! Here are some things Holland has been up to:
-She loves sitting up and doesn't care for laying down much. We actually got rid of her playmat because she didn't really want to lay anymore and she would end up rolling completely off of it within seconds.
-She gets just about anywhere she wants to go by rolling.
-She likes to stand when you are holding her fingers. She can get to dancing too and it's adorable!
-She's talking a lot! She definitely says "dada" but she has no idea what she's saying.
-She loves her jumper!
-She went to her first wedding in Kansas.
-We have resolved this issue now (almost 8 months old) but Holland has been difficult to get to sleep. Once she's asleep she sleeps great, but she is a night owl. I've been trying to just embrace it and enjoy the extra snuggles but Trevor was getting adament that we do something about it. So I let him take the lead. I think one of the problems was me...I know this is our last baby so I just didn't want to rush all of that and I honestly wanted the extra snuggles at night. But, we are finally on a great sleep schedule and she's doing awesome!

Here's a peek inside our month!

She loves these books! They are tearproof and waterproof so I don't have to worry about her at all when she's playing with them! Plus, they make that fun crinkle sound!
Decked out in our OSU!! Go Cowboys!
We definitely didn't go all out this year for Halloween! Haha! The boys used these blankets that they already had and Holland totally skipped it! Haha!
The cutest little boy with this "telescope!"
Aren't these leggings the coolest when you have the flash on!! I love them!
Park Day!
This kid knows how to get dirty! Haha!
She's so cute!! And loving her jumper!
Holland's first wedding and she did awesome! The boys actually did great too! My cousin got married in Kansas, and it was a beautiful outdoor wedding and a great time with family!
4 Generation Photo!!
Such a fun time! The boys had SO.MUCH.FUN at the wedding and it was so fun watching them have the time of their life!
Cutie!
This is my favorite family picture that we got! Everyone is truly in their element! Brooks is being silly, Rhett is always looking up to his brother and miss Holland is just adorable! So thankful for this precious family that I get to call mine!
Silly Thanksgiving Day photos!!
Wrapping up Thanksgiving and Holland's 7 month with a family movie night!!
The saying is true...the days are long but the weeks/months/years are short! I can't believe how close we are getting to Holland being a year old! These babies are my everything and I love getting to be home with them and cherish this time that we have together!

First OSU Game with the Boys!

I have been meaning to blog about this for awhile, but life is definitely busy with 3 littles! At the end of October, we took the boys to their first OSU game! We've been before when they were younger but we didn't actually go in the game. This time we had tickets to the game, thanks to some people at Trevor's work! It was such a FUN DAY!! We dropped Holland off with my parents for the day and then headed to Stillwater with the boys. When we got there we walked around and did some shopping and then we headed in the stadium! Brooks is always so animated! HAHA!
Obligatory family photo!!
The boys had SO.MUCH.FUN in the game! We really weren't sure how they were going to respond, but we were both SO impressed! Brooks basically stayed in his seat the whole time, watched the game and asked for some cotton candy (which he'd never had before this). Rhett was a little more up and down, up and down! However, thankfully, because of COVID, the stands weren't very crowded, so he had room to move and it wouldn't bother anyone. They both ate lots of popcorn, tried cotton candy for the first time - were unsure of it at first but decided it was great by the end - ate more popcorn and cheered on the cowboys! When we were at Chris' University Store, they gave both the boys some pom poms and that was a hit!! Highly recommend getting those! They were pure entertainment the whole time!
I loved seeing their excitment!! It is seriously so fun having kids and re-living those firsts with them!
I feel like that last picture just sums up our whole day!! It was a WIN!!! As we were leaving the stadium, Rhett yells "BEST DAY EVER!" and I couldn't agree more!!
I can't wait to take them to another game!! What an awesome day we had! And we might be brainwashing them to attend OSU...Haha! So I foresee lots of these games in our future!

Holland is 6 Months

I can't believe our little girl is 6 months old!!!

Everything is pretty much the same from last month, other than now she's officially rolling all over the place! Back to front, front to back and finding her way to whatever toy she wants to chew on next! Haha!

Here are some fun pictures from our month!




We visited the Pumpin Patch a couple times this month. The first time we went with our LifeGroup and all the kids!
Family Photos are getting more and more interesting these days! Haha! Brooks got to ride a camel and Rhett chose to ride the pony!


I just love these sweet babies!


We then made our way to the Pumpkin Patch with my mom! This is our annual thing, pumpkin patch and then lunch!


Always such a sweet time!


And here are some fun photos to wrap up our month!


Time goes so quicky! I used to say that the days are long and the weeks are short, but with 3, the days are short and the weeks are a blink!! It's so crazy!!! Holland, you are exactly what our family needed and we love and adore you SO MUCH!!!!
