Dylan, the cutest Suez chef of all time. He make fruit salads for everyone and was so proud of his work!

Three cheers for Jill!! Owen and Eli's teeth had been loose for days (if not weeks!) Then in a matter of a few days, Owen got kneed in the tooth twice and Eli bit wrong into a bagel and we had two REALLY loose teeth. I tried pulling them but couldn't really get a good grip. We told them that Jill was an expert and had pulled 8 of her son's teeth so they both gave her a shot and she got them both on the first attempt!! Woohoo for a double-duty tooth fairy night! 

They wrote letters to the Tooth Fairy asking for 'small prizes' instead of money. Eli requested that his 'not be girly'. Ha! Markers to the rescue!

One of the perks of bigger, stronger cousins : )

Charlie is putting these boys to work! Our garden this year is new and improved over last year and includes a built up box to keep the weeds away and increase the depth of the dirt. We're hoping to get seeds in the ground soon and start eating the fruits of our labor shortly after!

Unprompted helping makes me so happy : )

The beauty of having older brothers!

You can't be a big helper without a properly equipped tool belt (water bottle included!)

I can't think of a better baking-helper task for three little boys than mashing up bananas. It doesn't matter how rough they get with their smashing, they can't mess it up! On a side note, I tried a new banana bread recipe and it was amazing. Click here for the recipe. You're welcome : )

Daddy's little shadow, following him around the yard with his ball popper pretending to mow : )

Dylan's first bath! Owen, Eli and Garrett were so excited to help, and Dylan was really relaxed despite all the chaos and fighting over who would squirt the soap, wash his feet and rinse him off. He didn't like coming out of the water, but quickly slept off any trauma he went through.

The boys are not big on wanting to hold Dylan yet (especially not compared to Blake, Asher and Jonas!) but they are all about being big brothers and big helpers, so they jumped at the chance to feed him a bottle. They did great!
