Since Minneapolis is the City of Lakes, we take every opportunity to visit the many nearby lakes. The boys love the change of scenery and we love the walks. 
We have also started a new game as we are driving in the car. Every time we go under an overpass (or tunnel as Marcus calls them), we hold our breath. It is pretty hard since we are under them for a whole second sometimes. The boys think it is hilarious as we exaggerate our gasps for air. 
"What is so funny?" 
It is crazy how quickly they grow! Carter is already one month old! It really still feels like I just had Marcus and now when I look at Marcus, and Tyson and see how they can walk, talk, and make me laugh, I realize that time just flies by! Children really are the best things in the world and I am the luckiest person in the world. Heavenly Father sure has blessed me with the best little boys. Carter is finally getting some meat on him and I am loving it! 
I tried to get all the boys together in their fun sport shirts but it didn't really work out like I had hoped.
Since I was taking all of these pictures of Carter, Marcus was dying to take some. It is pretty funny when he takes them, he doesn't quite know how to look through the camera so he just puts his face up to the camera and shoots. I was impressed that he actually got us in this one.
My twin sister Jill had her baby, Lincoln Cruz Bostock on September 17, he weighed 7lb 15oz, and was 20 inches long. He was in the NICU but not for long and is now doing great! He sure is a lucky little tike to be born into their family! It was also so much fun being pregnant at the same time as Jill, what is even more fun is that they were both actually due only one day apart. We were both hoping to have them on the same day so that it would be like they were twins, but I still think that it is fun that there names go together like they could be twins. He is going to go by Cruz. Carter and Cruz just sounds so good! I sure love you Jill and Drew. Congratulations on such a beautiful baby.
Today has been wonderful. Brian and I finally braved church with our three little boys. They all did so good. Marcus and Tyson both went to Nursery...that was the best! Carter was passed quite a lot between Brian and I but it worked out alright. When we got home from church we went and took a nice walk around Lake Calhoun. It was beautiful! Marcus and Tyson had so much fun together I think finally realized that they could talk and play with eachother in the stroller, they were talking, laughing, and tickling each other it sure made us happy. Well after then Brian was stretching a little and both of them thought "I need to do that too." It was so fun to watch, they just really love their Dad (who wouldn't? :0)) 
CHEESE!
This past weekend we wanted to figure out a way to fit all of the boys in the same room but thought that a bunk bed was just too high - even for stripling Marcus. Dad took Marcus to Ikea knowing that those brilliant Swedes must have designed something that would work and they found this four footer loft bed. We decided to put Marc's toddler bed underneath and create our own bunk beds! So far it has worked wonderfully. Tyson hasn't wandered off his toddler bed yet and is so excited to be in a big boy bed not to mention how thrilled Marcus is to be on a bunk bed. 
Tyson really likes to climb up to be with Marcus, it is really fun as Tyson giggles up each step. When it is time to sleep, he has been really good (so far) to stay in his own bed - even for naps!
We haven't put Carter in his crib yet but when he is sleeping through the night a little better we will have him sleep with his big brothers. We are so proud of our little boys! Way to go Marc and Ty!!
Today we went to the Doctor for Carter's two week appointment and he is doing great! He weighted 7lb 7oz and was 201/2 inches long. When he was born he was 6lb 8oz and was 201/2 inches long, so we are really excited that he is doing so well. He is such a sweet little guy and his crazy little brothers sure do love him.
See I told you they were crazy! Here they are in their "boats", if you look closely you will notice that Tyson is actually in a crock pot! It died on us this week and so I let them play with it before I tossed it out.
Grandma Kathie was able to come up this past week, we have really been so blessed with all the help that our family has had with Carter being born. I am afraid that reality is now here and I am to fend for myself with three little boys...wish me luck!
Grandma Kathie had Marcus and Tyson help her make Caramel Brownies, here is Marcus enjoying the beaters. He loved the stuff, and the brownies were so good!
After they had made the brownies then Marcus ran over to Carter who was laying on the floor and was so sweet with him. He whispers every time he talks to Carter just like he did when Carter was in my belly. He really is such a good big brother. If you look closely you can see how much he enjoyed the brownie batter it's even on his ear. 
Tyson on the other hand is still a little rough. He sure loves to be around him and say his name, I think he averages saying Carter around a hundred times an hour.
Here's the matching duo! They really looked so cute! Thanks for the clothes Jeana, he's stylin' only because of you! (so are we!!)
Goodbyes are never good. This was right before Grandma and the boys went to the airport. I think that Marcus is getting the idea about visitors...they leave and then all the fun is gone. Thanks so much for coming Grandma Kaffie! We love you!
