4 Years old and 15 months old

We went last week for their check-ups. This was the first time I've ever scheduled their appointments together, and I'll admit I was nervous! Maddox had to get 5 shots. 3 in one leg, 2 in the other. Poor little guy! It was awful. Briley had a virus (sore throat and fever) so she got out of her shots!
After the appointment we went to Kangarooz, and that made it all better.
Oh, here's their stats:
Briley weighs 22 lbs. 4 oz. (50%) and is 33 inches tall (off the charts!!)
Maddox weighs 39 lbs. 4 oz. (75%) and is 41.5 inches tall (75%).

Here are some pictures from the last few weeks:

We've been dealing with some separation anxiety since school started. Actually, it seems like we are always dealing with it. But anyway, I was trying to go to our church to help decorate for children's choir. I had one kid screaming on each leg. Fun!

Briley fell asleep in the car after church. We hadn't had lunch yet, so Britt put her on the couch and she slept for a few minutes, ate lunch, then went to bed and took a good nap. She is such a good sleeper!
This picture was taken when Britt got home from work. His babies were excited to see him!
Maddox likes to pretend to read to his sister. So sweet!

The After Party

After Maddox's birthday party, we went home to open all the great presents he got. Thanks everybody!
Then, we headed to Mimi and Pops to swim, eat, and play.
We were so happy to have a visit from some of our family that we don't get to see very much from Houston and Florence! And, Mom stopped for a visit on her way back to Ft. Myers! What a special time!
The kids played great together, but weren't so keen on getting a picture made together!
Well, Jackson and Lorelei didn't mind a bit!!



Briley had a blast following Brooks everywhere she went! She's a year older than Briley. Such a big girl now!

Bae and Grandad got Maddox a tool box full of pipes for this birthday! They were a hit. The kids loved putting them together. The boys enjoyed pretending they were guns, too!

As usual, I wish I had gotten more pictures of everybody!! We made some great memories!

Maddox's Favorites

Favorite foods: for breakfast-pampaes (pancakes), for lunch: peanut butter, marshmallow, and banana sandwich (his own creation!), for dinner: spaghetti, lasagna, or cheese pizza

Favorite toys: airplanes, trucks, cars, playdough

Favorite friends: Hayden, Ryan, Ollie, etc.

Favorite place to go: Pete's Party Patch (castle!)

I asked him what he learned when he was 3. He said "Well, I learned about pipes". I asked him what he wanted to learn this year. He said "Hmmmm... I think I need to learn how engines work."

Pump It Up Party!

We had Maddox's and Miranda's birthday party together at Pump It Up! Fun, fun! We had a huge crowd and a great time!
