Snapshot in Time

I thought I would document the seperate personalities of each of my boys at this given time. They all seem to have their own personalities, but they are also forever changing.

Carter - My little caregiver. He loves to take care of me. He loves to do what he thinks his dad would do (which I love because he couldn't have a better example of what a Man/Gentleman should be.) We were leaving town to attend my dearest friends funeral and I was kinda scatterbrained. As I would pack a bag I would take it to the livingroom. He wanted to help me pack them in the car, but I knew the back was full. I said what the heck sure. You have to clean out the back and put everything in. About 10 min later he was there saying what next. I just started rattling everything off that I needed. When I was all ready to leave we climbed in the car and drove off. About 30 min outside of town I remembered I hadn't even checked the back. EVERYTHING was there! He didn't forget one thing. He takes great pride in his work. He wants to be the BEST. His chores are done exactly as I would do it. His handwriting is wonderful, and he likes for me to recognize his efforts. He loves to take care of his younger brothers. I think him and Colby will have a special relationship. He takes extra care with him and enjoys making him happy as well. Carter is very observant. He watches everything, listens to everything, and analyzes everything. He loves math. He is healthly; he told us the other day he hates how his body feels when he eats junk. He is very worried about how he looks and smells all the time. He is very interested in money: how to make it, save it, invest it, spend it, he wants to know everything about our family finances. We love him!

Carson - Carson throws all caution to the wind. He loves adventure and adrenaline. Anything that has wheels or a motor, he LOVES. He would ride his bike all day long if he had a buddy to ride with. He loves to be outside, no matter the temperature. He knows the art to crashing. He never gets hurt, but crashes all the time. He loves to jump and push his limits. I kept telling him I would teach him to ride his bike later(barely 4) so he taught himself in our backyard, on the grass, and has never stopped!) He pushes the limits of EVERYTHING! He NEVER stops talking. I mean NEVER! Chet always laughs and says that I cannot get mad at him for talking. He will never stop talking, but will still know everything that everyone else has said too. Deadly combination. Carson is a natural athlete, but gets bored with it easily. He LOVES music. Almost every song that he has ever heard he can sing. The minute he hears the first couple notes he can sing the song. He stays on tune and loves to listen to music. He is very motivated by catchy music. He will walk around with his IPOD in his pocket and listen while he does chores. He says he hates everything I cook when we are dishing, but then tastes it and eats almost everything. He is very proud to be like Papa, whom he is named after. He loves to eat the fat I pick off everything (Chet says its not fat, but good meat, I disagree), LOVES raddishes (and loves to eat them with Papa even more), loves steak and sausage. Hates ice cream and frech fries (what! I know) He is my best kid when he good, and the worst when he is bad. Carson is never in the middle. He rarely turns in his homework...until the teacher made it mandatory for recess access. Then he never forgot! Carson is VERY interested in girls and picks some hotties! He knows the cute ones already. Go big or go home!!!

Caden - My little teddy bear. He is the most tenderhearted kid I know, but he is also the toughest kid I know. He tests a pediatricians knowledge. We once had three peds at one time looking at something he was doing in complete awe, none knowing what was wrong, and Caden was oblivious that he was walking like he was impaired. So weird! He is the only boy at this point that has had stitches, twice. He almost bit his tongue off and had to have it surgically fixed. He has had two sets of tubes. He talks like he is an adult, with all the emotion he can muster. I always tell them that something they are wearing is inappropriate for "public". He always wants to wear his snow boots everywhere. We were getting ready to go to Pizza Hut and I was putting on my boots (high heal boots, not snow boots like his) and he says, "mom, those shoes are not appropriate. You need to change." He "eats" the weirdest things. When he is nervous he chews on things. Some things he has eaten like a little beaver: drum sticks, clothes pin, headphones, pencils, etc. He talks like we are a mile apart. He has no sound control!!! His whisper is louder than most peoples normal voice. He is a very creative kid. School is all about social time and social time and social time and oh yeah art! He is VERY intelligent, but he doesn't care about learning, unless you are in a group talking about it! Great athlete! Very aggressive but very kind hearted too. Great combination!!! He uses his BIG BEAUTIFUL BLUE eyes to his every advantage! He kisses me on the cheek and tells me he loves me about 6-8 times a day. Love it!

Cael - My "little ham". He is so cute!!! He has always been ALL boy. He will dig in the dirt, play with trucks, play with balls, and LOVES to be read to. When he is tired, he tells me he wants to hold me or grabs my hand and asks to go to bed. When he goes into nursery, he waves over his shoulder without turning around. He has never been jealous of Colby, and loves to "help" with him, which is amazingly helpful. He is very gentle and kind to him. I just have to watch what he "feeds" him. He always wants to share his snack with him. Everytime you walk in the door, no matter how long you have been gone, he gets really excited and says in a high voice, "Hi MOM!" like you are his favorite person in the world. Every morning I wake to him 2 inches from my face saying I slept in my own bed. Come cook breakfast. So cute! He loves applesauce, french toast sticks, waffles, yogurt and crackers. He could get full on these alone if I let him. He wants them ALL day long. He is loving a kind and very personable. He walks off ALL the time. He has no fear so he just walks down the road. Four times he has wandered off. Some were very scary situations and he never shed a tear! He is very loving all the time!

Colby - By far my worst baby! He cries all the time if you are not holding him. But when you are holding him, he is the cutest thing EVER! He loves to give kisses and smile and laugh. He eats like crazy!!! He is on Soy milk. He hasnt said his first word yet, but we work daily on mom. He just smiles at me like I am crazy when I try to get him to say it. He is so fun and loving! He has many expressions and uses them all the time. He is starting to recognize when dad gets home and is starting to join in the excitement with the boys. He kicks and squeals really loud. We love it! We love him to pieces!!!
