My cute boys, and Linford's Obsession

My SWEET boys
I have loved having children, obviously....I had 3 of them in 4 years....BUT I never knew it was going to be the way it is. It's so fun and I wouldn't change it FOR ANYTHING. Not to travel, not to have more money, not for alone time, not to have my old "tighter" body back, not for ANYTHING.
I am so thankful for the GOOD times AND the BAD.
It has made my life worth living.
I look at this picture and it just fills my heart with joy.
This is not the reason I am posting these pictures
.


My intention was to show you how obsessed OUR
"Linny"
is with his
"Bobby"
(His Pacifier)

and
"Billy & Cheeto"
(His elephant and monkey)
He will not go anywhere without the three of them.
Not ANYWHERE.
Not even anywhere in the house.

There are times that he'll hide them if he needs his hands for something and that is the worst, cause he forgets where he hides them. Luckily, I have learned his hiding places. I have had to convince him that they don't take the same kind of baths that he does.
He wants them to swim, eat, to watch t.v., play basketball, everything.
It is really sweet, and yet
very stressful and sometimes
annoying.



This is the picture that made me want to do this post.
He came to me the other day, with a
BIG HUGE SMILE
He had gone and found all the "bobby's" in the entire house.
It was like he had found a
POT of GOLD
I just had to laugh. He is so attatched. I thought that Hewitt was bad at this age, and Linny's attatchment is even WORSE.
I think what I have found MORE annoying than ANYTHING though,
is when people TAKE IT AWAY
and say, "ohhhh you don't need this." thinking its funny or something.....
ALL the while he is screaming, crying upset.
I just think its cruel. Why take it away???
So he'll hate you?
He's so sweet, just let him be.

Hey! Sorry I haven't gotten back to you. But, Aubrey Bolton took our family pictures. Her website is aubreyboltonphotography.blogspot.com. She is super good and I loved how they turned out. Your family is cuter every time I see them!

I LOVE binkie babies!! I just hate taking them away from the babies when they are too old. Your boys are too cute!! And you are one brave chick to have three kids.

I love what you said about being a mom. There are days when you want to just quit and have your normal life back and then they do something so cute that you feel quilty for even thiking about it. Being a mom is SO hard but it's the most rewarding thing we will ever do.

I love that picture of him finding his binky stash. He looks so excited. Deacon's new thing is his buzz lightyear doll. He wants him to take baths too. I can't imagine having a newborn on top of it all. How do you look so good already? I am scared to have my third. Life is so easy right now!
