Easter 2010

We made it through our first Easter with 3 kids!!! I spent many hours deciding what clothes the kids would wear and how they would coordinate, and it actually paid off! It only took me 2 hours to get them all dressed and happy, but I did manage to get a few cute pictures out of it :) The Easter Bunny also made an appearance and left the boys some goodies. All in all it was a great day!! Here are some photos for your viewing pleasure. I even added Jaxon's "graduation" photo! Talk about a mental breakdown :( Enjoy!!

This just in.

Well, I guess it's time for my monthly blog update. It does seem a little sad that I can't manage to update more than that, but I guess I'll just look at it as I'm spending more time with my family and less time on the computer :)

The Leggett family has been up to a lot these days. Jax is still doing great in Pre-k. He learns so much everyday and is constantly telling me stories about his friends and all the fun things their doing at school. He has been working on spelling and reading short words and sentences. He even has a set of books that he can read all by himself! He really is such a smart and amazing little boy. He refuses to let anything get in his way and his eagerness to learn is unreal for his age. I don't think I've ever known a child that begged for homework!! I have a conference at his school this week so I'll update soon and let you all know if his teacher feels the same way as I do about him! He also started playing t-ball this month!! He team is the Orioles and they are the cutest thing ever! He is a pretty naturally athletic kid, so he does a great job. He hits it harder than anyone on the team and even manages to make an out every now and then. He is by far the youngest on the team, but lets not mention that to the people in charge of the league ;)

Cash is also doing great in school. He has made lots of friends and I think he's even formed a little crush on his teacher :) He is talking up a storm now and has the cutest little voice! He has recently started following Jax around like a puppy. He practically runs to the car when it's time to pick Jax up from school and he is even willing to share his toys every now and then. Ever since Jax started playing baseball Cash has taken a liking to it as well. He is pretty convinced that in order to play any sport you have to wear a hat, so he has a small collection growing around the house in case a situation where sports are involved presents itself. Corey has even convinced Cash to start watching sports on tv with him! This is quite an accomplishment for Corey, being that Jax has always refused to be in the same room with any tv not showing an episode of Spongebob. I think Corey might be brainwashing Cash though, because his "momma's boy" mentality has definitely shifted into Daddy territory. I guess I'll have to start working on bringing Cruz to my side immediately!!

Now for the little Cruz man. He is already 4 months old!!! He is constantly smiling and cooing and grabbing anything within his reach! We started putting him in the exersaucer for a few minutes a day and he is already a pro. He spins himself around and talks and laughs at all the toys on it. He is rolling over both ways and really starting to push up with his arms. I've always had very physical kids and Cruz definitely seems to follow suit. He is already up to 16.5 pounds and growing out of clothes faster than I can buy them! I can't imagine what my life, and my grocery bill, will be like when they're all teenagers! Maybe we should start taking up donations now :) I think Cruz has managed to break the mold of the Leggett boys when it comes to looks! He really looks a lot different than his brothers did, so I'll be interested to see how he changes over the next few months. Corey might actually have a baby that looks like him!!!

As for me, I have to say that having 3 kids has been a lot more challenging than I ever dreamed it would be. There are days when I feel like I've failed miserably and days when I feel like I'm getting the hang of it. I spend the majority of my time making sure they're all fed, clothed, washed and well, which doesn't leave much down time for me to spend with them. But I know that each day I'm getting better at managing it all and the time I spend at home with them they'll remember for the rest of their lives. Mostly I think that I've managed to give birth to the three most amazing people I've ever known and I wouldn't trade a second of the life I have with them.

Thanks for checking in with us and here's the part you all have been waiting for....PICTURES!!!

First Smiles!

Christmas Craziness!

Christmas is definitely the favorite holiday in the Leggett house! We all get so excited to see the decorations, go shopping for presents and give Santa our laundry list of annoying overpriced toys. I have to say that the excitement in our house is at an all-time high, of course it doesn't hurt that we have a 4 year-old and a 2 year-old running around on a Christmas candy sugar high!!

This Christmas proved to be one of the best yet! Not only did Cash and Jax enjoy themselves beyond expectations, but we were also able to celebrate Cruz's first Christmas!! We spent the day with lots of family and were reminded once again how truly lucky we are!! I can't wait for the years to come when the craziness gets even crazier!! I know one thing, boring will never be a word to describe our house :)

Goodbye 2009!!!

To say that this year has been a whirlwind would be an understatement! It has been full of surprises, both good and bad, and lots and lots of awesome memories!! This will always be a special year for us because it's the year we welcomed our third son. We will always be able to look back and remember how amazing and incredibly difficult it was. We are truly a blessed family and another year gone makes me realize how fast time passes us by! So, I leave 2009 behind with a bittersweet feeling and high hopes for 2010!!!



Happy New Year everyone!!!!!!!!!
