FATHER'S DAY WEEKEND 2009

Father's Day weekend, Chris and I were lucky enough to spend time with both our dads and to have ALL the boys with us on such a special weekend.

Me with ALL OUR BOYS. This was Quinn and Kaden's first time in the pool and they LOVED it. As you can Kaden was chillin in the float! Not sure how I ended up in the pic with all the boys..but we take what we can get!

THE HAMM MEN BIRTHDAYS

On May 26th, Chris turned 29. He's only got one more year until the BIG 30! On his birthday we went to Marion and ate supper at his Grandparents with his mom and Brady. Since Chris isn't a big sweet eater, I picked up some delicious cupcakes from Edgars Bakery in Birmingham. They were chocolate cake with white icing and each one had a sea creature on them. I thought they fit his personlity just perfect!!!!

Chris blowing out his candle and making a wish....a sure hope it came true!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY!!!

Weren't these cupcakes just precious...and they were sooooooo tasty too!!

On June 12th, Brady turned 7 years old. It's so hard to believe that he is that big. Chris and I gave him a basketball goal and his brothers gave him a basketball. We celebrate his birthday on June 6th with a birthday party at West Perry Community Club. Pictures from the party to come later. Brady's grandmommy has all of them on her camera.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRADY BUG!!!!

A FIRST FOR KADEN...

This past weekend Chris and I went away on a short beach trip. We haven't done anything together since I was admitted to the hospital before the boys were born, so we thought it was time to get away for a few days. It was sad leaving them for the first time overnight, but I knew they were in good hands (I didn't cry, but I did tear up). Chris's mom AKA Grandmommy kept them. So Saturday after we got through fishing I called to check in on them and Grandmommy asked me if I knew that Kaden had two teeth. I had no idea!!!! I guess they broke through the skin overnight. So last night when we got home I checked it out for myself and there they were, two little sharp teeth barely poking through the gums. No wonder he has been chewing away on his pacifier!!! No teeth for Quinn, but he is only days away from crawling. Let the craziness begin!!!

6 MONTH CHECKUP

I took the boys for their six month checkup last Friday. Everything went GREAT!!! Quinn weighed 14 pounds and 1 ounce and Kaden weighed 13 pounds and 15 1/2 ounces. They were both 26 1/2 inches long and both their head measurements were 16 1/2. So they are both in the 50th percentile for their length and the 5th percentile for their weight and head. I guess I'm going to have tall skinny boys!!! They both got four shots and then the Roto Virus Vaccination. Both of them did so well and only cried for just a little while. Big Brother Brady was with us and he said it almost made him cry. He did so good helping me out with the boys. The nurse gave him three Hulk stickers for being such a big brother. The doc also changed the boys formula, so we are now on Enfamil A.R. and it is working wonders for their spit up. So no more rice cereal in their bottles. The doc also said that the boys can start eating the mixed fruit baby foods and the meats now. We haven't tried any yet, but I know they are going to love it. They already love their fruits. After the doctor's appointment we went to Dairy Queen for lunch and then had some good ole ice cream. YUMMY!!! Then we had to make a few stops to get some baby things and then it was home to pack and load the car for a weekend in Marion. Brady had a baseball game Friday night which unfortunately they lost, but then we had his Birthday party on Saturday. It was so much fun and all the kids had a great time. Well that's all for now. Hopefully I can get some new pics downloaded soon. We've had so much going on that we need to share.

THE BIGS BOYS GO ON THE FIRST SALT WATER FISHING TRIP OF 2009

Chris and Brady left this past Friday to take the boat down to the beach for the summer. While down there, they went on the first fishing trip of 2009.

In this pic, Brady is showing off the Amberjack that his Daddy speared while diving in the deep, deep dark Gulf of Mexico.
Chris holding up the 25 pound Cobia that his friend Justin speared.

And the littlest fisherman showing off just one of his catch.

Brady caught the most fish on the trip. YAY FOR BRADY!!!
