My Daddy is a Scoutmaster. When I'm eleven I want to be a boy scout like Dad :)
Nick loves his little brother.
My sister PJ got a new car yesterday. It's a Grand Cherokee Laredo and it's very nice!!! She was in a car accident a couple of weeks ago. As you can tell she is okay but her honda civic was totally damaged.
My friend Becki teaches preschool from her home. Last night we went to the open house. Carter got to meet his classmates. There are eight girls and two boys in his class. That should be fun :)Nicholas also went to Miss Becki preschool when he was three and enjoyed it very much. She is a fun and caring teacher. The kids really enjoy learning from her. Carter starts preschool next Wednesday and he's very excited!!
It's official they both passed their test. Aaron and Nicholas received their green belt tonight. I'm so proud of them. They both enjoy taking Tae Kwon Do class together as father and son. Who knows maybe Carter and I can take Tae Kwon Do together when he turns six. Aaron and Nick will probably have their red belts by then. 
Eric loves to sleep on his stomach. He was a little fussy this morning. He wanted me to hold him all the time. I think he was spoiled yesterday with Grandma Hayes holding him while he was sleeping. Anyway, I held Eric until he fell asleep then I put him on the couch on his stomach. He slept for a long time. Carter and I finally had lunch at 1:30.
Nicholas, Eric and Carter look so handsome. We had a nice get together for Eric's blessing today. It was a special day for Eric. Aaron did a great job in giving Eric a blessing. 
Grandma and Grandpa Hayes with all five grandkids. 
Eric with his cousin Emily.
Aaron and Nick had their green belt test tonight. Nick broke his board doing a step behind side kick. Aaron did the same thing but he had to break two boards at one time. It took five guys to hold the board for resistance. One attempt went a little high and some fingers were smushed. Ouch!! On the fourth attempt he was successful.
Nicholas looks so cute in his full sparring gear. He really has the mean look down. He did such a awesome job. His punches and kicks were forceful enough to knock the other kid back on his heels. Aaron sparred really well also. His eight year old opponent was very intimidated. (just kidding!!)
Eric's first attempt at tummy time. He seemed to enjoy it for about a minute.
Eric is filling out so much. Look how chubby his cheeks are. He doesn't like it when the camera flashes in his eyes. 
On Mondays we try to stay home and do nothing but relax. Carter and I read books, played
Wednesday we went out to lunch with my sister's PJ and Susan. We had a nice time at the Italian restaurant. Oh, check out Eric's cute little shorts!! I love my little bubba. I was really getting bored of his onesies. He is now big enough to finally fit into his 0-3 month outfits. Eric makes the cutest little sounds. He such a calm and easy going baby. I thought raising three kids would be hard but it's actually been pretty good so far. Nick and Carter do help out a lot. We rented the movie RV and watched it tonight. Aaron, the boys and I laughed so much. Robin Williams stars in the movie and he is just hilarious!!!
Thursday Luke came over to play with Carter. Luke is a huge Batman fan. Look at his batman shirt, short, cape and sword. Guess what he's going to be for Halloween. Huong (Luke's Mom) and Susan were also at the house visiting. We had a really good time. Huong is a hair stylist. She showed us some of the latest hairdos. We would have gotten a pedicure from her but we had to go pick up our kids from school. Time goes by fast when your'e having fun!!
Thursday evening we went to Nick's school for parents info. night. Here is Nick with his second grade teacher Mrs. Telschow. She's a sweet and funny teacher. WE LIKE HER!!! Aaron and I have been really pleased with the teachers at his school. Nicholas was getting anxious to show off his baby brother to Mrs. Telschow. He is so proud of Eric and Carter of course. Carter was busy walking around the classroom like he was one of the students. It was too cute! I got to sit at Nicholas desk while Aaron was holding Eric at the back of the room:) Nick was happy to show me all stuff he had in his desk and other things in the classroom. We had an enjoyable conversation with one of the student parents. We ended up being the last ones to leave the classroom. They were nice people. Mrs. Telschow did tell me that Nicholas was a really good kid. She told me she heard a lot of good things about him. I'm so proud of him. I just hope he can always be a good example to his brothers. Now that I updated the blog and it's 3am Friday morning I'm going to bed before Eric gets up again for a feeding. I can't wait until he sleeps through the night. Lately, Eric has been sleeping about three to four hours at night. Which is REALLY good for me.
That's right I'm one month old today. I'm a big boy!! This morning I went to the doctor for my check up and I did really good. As of today I'm 8 pounds, 6 ounces and 20 inches long. Mommy and Daddy are very happy.
Today was a special day for Nicholas. It was his first day back to school as a second grader. 
Grandpa Medeiros favorite picture of Eric. Look at how sweet and happy he is. We took this picture when Eric was in the NICU last month. We've been blessed to have a healthy and strong baby boy. He is our bundle of joy!! 
Nicholas and Carter were so excited when their baby brother Eric came home. Aren't those smiles adorable? (I wonder what they are plotting.)
Eric has been eating well and filling out some since he has been home. He is now three and a half weeks old and spends a lot of time sleeping.
