Nashville's 2015 Ice Storm

The week after we brought home Conor from the hospital, we had a huge ice storm. The boys were out of school all week and we weren't able to leave the house. It was a tough week and I am glad we all survived it! Not only was I still recovering from just having a baby, but it was Michael's busiest few weeks of the entire year. He was stressed and trying to work from home. It's definitely not easy to work from home with a newborn and two very small children running around screaming!

They did get out a couple of times to enjoy the snow though. Patrick loved it and was so excited about his new snow gear. Peyton….not so much! Peyton preferred to stay inside and watch out the window with Conor and I.

Peyton all bundled up

Pulling Patrick up the hill after some fun sledding!

Terrible picture, but it's the only one I had documenting Conor's first snow

About to head down the steep hill!

Video of Michael and Patrick going down the hill.  Patrick LOVED it, but I am glad I wasn't there to witness my three year old going down such a steep hill. It was fast! Michael even ran into a car and broke a sled, yikes!

Conor's First Week at Home

Sweet little Conor on the way home from the hospital

Waiting on his brothers to get home

So excited our new brother is at home!

There are entirely too many sleeping pictures of Conor, but I just can't get over that precious little face

Seriously, cutest little guy ever!

While putting Patrick to bed one night and reading stories, Conor started hiccuping and Patrick started giggling like crazy. So cute!

Patrick asked if he could teach baby how to open his eyes…hysterical!


And a picture of my almost two year old gobbling up some dinner!

Enjoying some Valentine's candy

Leave the boys in the same room with Conor for one minute by themselves...

Milk coma

His first outing outside the house. Headed to Nana and Grumps house for Sunday morning breakfast!

Love these precious moments with my little guys!

Happy Valentine's Day

The boys had their Valentine's party on Friday at school. So Conor helped me assemble their Valentine's cards the day before.

Patrick's cards

Peyton's cards

They both came home with loads of treats and were so excited to open their bags!

Valentine's Day was a low-key holiday in our family this year. This is the first year that Michael and I have not been to a predators game (besides last year when there was not a game) and Mellow Mushroom since we started dating in 2007. But, I think we had a good excuse to skip out on our tradition this year! I wasn't expecting for Conor to come before Valentine's Day, so he didn't have an outfit for his first holiday, but here is a little picture I took of him in his rocking chair. 

I tried to do some photos of all the boys, but they were not into it so here are some not so great photos of the boys.

Still in the closing eyes and "cheesing" really big phase!

Peyton insisted on wearing the baby's chewing necklace that he found in his room

Love these three boys! Still cannot believe that I have 3 boys under the age of 4. Time has flown by!

Michael made us an awesome Valentine's dinner and even made some chocolate covered strawberries to go along with it! Yum!

After dinner, the boys asked to listen to music. Patrick's request was "Saturday Night."  Patrick and Peyton danced throughout the house and sang songs. It was the perfect ending to a sweet family Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day to the four boys that have stolen my heart!

Conor Meets His Brothers

Since Conor was born in the middle of the night, Patrick and Peyton had to wait until the next day to come and see their little brother. They were SO excited. I was a little worried that they were going to be jealous of their new brother, but they both argued over who got to hold him and whose turn it was. It was adorable (and a little hectic!)

Michael took a video of Patrick and Peyton meeting Conor for the first time. The excitement coming from these two precious boys just warms my heart. I will definitely treasure this video forever!

Their first time meeting little brother

I just love how much he is beaming with happiness!

Ignore Conor's hat, Peyton wanted the hat to be off while he held him

So precious!

First family picture. My heart is so full with love for these boys!

Nana and Grumps meet Conor

And Gigi meets Conor

It was a little hectic the first day with both boys because they both desperately wanted to hold him. So the next day Patrick came by himself to hold Conor.

I am so blessed with all these precious, healthy boys in my life!
