What have I gotten my self into.......

Here is Caleb playing his first year in Tackle Football. He is doing awesome. As a mom, I am struggling watching him get hit and pushed around. I don't like that part a bit! Especially when he gets hit so hard he loses a tooth.....
I couldn't believe it! The kid had his mouth guard in and still lost a tooth! It didn't bother him to much.

And Sawyer... he is playing Flag Football. He loves every minute of it. He has played for about 3 years and this season he got to play up a team. Juggling both boy's practices and games has been crazy. I keep asking myself why I signed up for this! But they are such good little football players I had no choice. And they are such good big brothers.....

I have more help from them than I know what to do with. They are so willing to do anything for Cache.

And Cache.... He looks so peaceful in this picture but let me tell you, something so small has me running ragged! Wow, it has been a while since I have had a baby around, I feel like I have been out of the loop!

Life with 3 very active boys is crazy! What have I gotten myself into.......

Welcome Home, Baby Boy

Friday, Aug 29, 2008 at 7:49 am Cache Lee Richards made his appearence. Yes, he was late by one day. Earlier that week I went to my doctors appointment to find out that I was going to have to have a c-section. Apparently Cache was so comfy that he had no intentions on coming out. We went ahead and scheduled it and waited till Friday. Friday morning, we went to the hospital and about an hour and a half later we had a beautiful bouncing baby boy. He was 8lbs 7 oz and 21 in long.

Cache is so lucky to have two big brothers love him instantly so much!

Let's get ready to RUMMMMMBBBLLLE!

We have officially started football. Last Saturday was the Jamboree on the Blue and Orange Tuff. Boy did the kids love that!! Caleb got to start and played the whole game. He was so proud! I guess I have no choice, I am going to have to figure this game out!

As for Sawyer, he has started practice, and wished he got to practice five nights a week like Caleb.

UPDATE

Here's the deal.... NO BABY! I am technically due Thursday (the 28th). I am having a few contractions but nothing is happening. At this point, it is looking like I will be OVERDUE!
Damn it!!!!

Why???

Why do I keep sending money on nice toys for the kids, when a large cardboard box will do???? Seriously...We bought some things that came in these huge boxes and right away the boys went to work on there "forts". I am at the point where I would like to throw them out but I think the kids would have a cow!!!!

And this cash register........



Sawyer and I were at Albertson the other day. We walked down the "little toy isle" and Sawyer spotted the most awesome cash register he had ever laid eyes on. He was begging me to get it for him! "Mom, it is only a $1.99, can I please get it" I was thinking what a rip off!!! This thing will be lost and broken by this afternoon! Well, he talked me into it and lets just say he takes better care of his "Cash Register" than any other toy he has, and he plays with it more.

Talladaga Nights, Baby

We are having a blast this summer. We now have a loooong driveway and the kids can drive their go cart all over. When we bought the go cart it had a governor on it so it would only top out at about 15 mph. Well, we took the governor off and watch out. The race is on!!!!

Caleb got his New Gun

Not my idea of a great toy, but Caleb got his gun. He worked extremely hard for this gun and has wanted it forever. He earned $100 (by mowing lawns) and read a chapter book over 220 pages. (Let me remind you that he had to pay me back for his spending spree at the book fair with the money had earned so far) So now the gun is here and he is getting ready for bird season.
I never saw myself as the kind of mom that had to haul kids around to baseball and football, have a garage full of fishing equipment, hear hunting/shooting stories, and do TONS of laundry because the kids got dirty 10 different times in a day!
I always thought girls would be so fun but some how I am getting a lot of satisfaction out of being a mom to boys!!!!
