Our baby isn't a baby anymore.......

So we celebrated Ellies b-day on the 11th of sept. ughhhh. why cant babies stay babies? she is so big..and will be walking anyday now. it is a sad time when you realize that your done having babies...i go back and forth with Brand on if we are done yet, but im just not sure...no great epiphany has come to me in the matter. so i guess we just see.
the boys are doing great . connor loves school and has recently started flag football. how funny it is to watch him in action. we try to explain it is not tackle. but funny to see him drag them by their jerseys. he is one tough kid, yet sensitive too. always worried about others.
max is in preschool. he is really liking it. every morning though he tells me that he doesnt want to go...then about 10 mins before we are ready to leave he is beggin me to walk out the door so he is not late. i think it all boils down to this little blond girl there who is not very nice. the girl with the pretty hair was yelling like a crazy person today he will tell me. or how much time she spent in the corner. she is very naughty and it drives him crazy. he is one funny kid. he says the funniest things at the most random times....here are a few ex.
-gage needed to go poop on the way home from slc the other day....we were close to being home and i told him hold it..hold your poop buddy-so max pipes up and says "sick you want him to hold his poop mom? put poop in hand..disgusting
-and then the other night brand and i were watching "babys mama". the kids were downstairs, but were in and out of the room. so there is a part where the lady is being pushed down the hall because she is going to have the baby, and she is in heavy labor and yelling and she is yelling some crazy obscenity's....which are a bit hard to hear if you are not paying attention..but she says "it feels like im sh--ting knives. so a few days ago max comes up to me and asks when i had baby ellie if i sh-t knives.... to which i quickly responded.... no.
-and when the boys were playing army guys, connor had said his main guys name was john- so max said his guy was john the baptist.....
you gotta love him.
gage is as big as max. in fact when i am doing laundry, i get their clothes mixed up. he cant wait to be big like his brothers and go to school. he loves his sister. he is a funny dude too. he is a big helper and loves being outside. he tells me im gorgeous when he wants something.
he loves to swim and is a snuggler. lately he has been trying to write his name and is putting his own shoes on. please stop trying to grow up so fast i will tell him.
brandon is doing great and has takin up running again. i assume it is some sort of competition with me. we recently ran a marathon where you have 5 teammates and you each run 5.2 miles- it was fun. brand cruised. we have been doing some 5ks and the boys do the mile. it is pretty cute....brandon that is....
