Our smiling Haven!

Haven has just been growing and learning to do new things all the time. She has discovered how to roll over from her back to her front(is learning to enjoy her tummy time more), is laughing and giggling all the time. She is one happy baby, that is when she is fed, changed and burped! I love this expression, she is so fun to watch and the kids love making her laugh and smile!
Haven at her 4 month checkup!

Jasons brother Stephen and his wife just had their first baby 3 weeks ago. Little Mason is such a cutie and so little compared to Haven. They are 4 months apart. We are so excited to have more little cousins the same age.

I love this little video of Haven cooing and giggling!

Camping out on the trampoline!

The kids were so excited to camp out on the trampoline with daddy! Our trampoline is not that big either, but they managed to all squish onto it somehow. Jasons head was on the springs as well as his feet on the other side. It was cute to see them all out there being big kids.
I woke up around 5:30am to find them all in the living room in their sleeping bags because it had rained. =)

Field Trips!

We decided since it was the end of the school year that we'd take Morgans little preschool class on a few field trips. The first was to 'Mrs. Cavanaughs Chocolate Factory!' It is so close to us so we couldn't pass up a trip to get a taste of free chocolate.

Here the kids are watching a lady dipping chocolate. They all got a little piece of chocolate at the end and were so cute to watch as they had listened to the lady telling them about making chocolate(well the kind of listened).

The next week we went to the 'Fire Station!' Henry didn't have preschool so he got to join us on this one. The kids loved checking out the fire truck and all its cool gadgets and they even got to sit inside and pretend to drive it. Pretty cool eh? (Thanks for the pictures Heidi) I forgot my camera!

Morgan has loved being a big girl and going to school once every week, next year she'll get to go to Ms. Amys like both Katelyn and Henry did. She is excited and will love it.

Law Day 5K Run!

Since Jason has been so crazy about running lately, he decided to drag the whole family as well as his brother and his kids, and his parents into it as well. His firm was paying for everyone and we all got free shirts with their logo on it. So why not, I thought, until I found out that we had to be there by 7:30am. Yeah with a new baby and being up all night, I wasn't too excited about that. Jason kept telling me that it was going to be worth it, and well he was right(don't tell him I said that).

We all had a great time and we ALL finished! Nancy stayed at the finish line with Haven because she had eye surgery and wasn't supposed to be running. We all took off at the beginning, with two strollers and all it was a mad house. Henry and Dawson were booking it and didn't last too long before they wanted to jump in the stroller. Slackers. Katelyn did GREAT, and finished the whole thing on her very own two feet. It was great running along and taking turns being beside different family members. We had a fun time working up a sweat. Jason said that he wants to make this a yearly ritual for the Hull family.

Morgan looks pretty tired from sitting in the stroller the whole time(or is it me that looks tired and red from pushing the stoller that Morgan was sitting in?). Jason and Trevor and the kids running their little hearts out!

Henrys Birthday!

Everyone loves birthdays, especially if it is your birthday! Well, Henry was no exception and was so very excited to be five. He keeps telling Morgan she can't do certain things because she isn't 5 years old.
As you can tell from his cute little face, he was VERY excited about this day! I really can't believe that 5 years ago we welcomed this adorable little boy into our lives. We were so excited and ready for the adventure to come. Or so we thought. Henry made sure that we didn't forget to let him have his turn with the special plate.

I was reading a friends blog and they have a little boy the exact same age as Henry and on his birthday she wrote a few things and it TOTALLY sounded just like Henry, so I'm going to save myself a few minutes and just copy a few things from it. It was great.

Henry:

He is a kind little soul. Henry has been going through a little bit of an angry stage, but underneath that façade is a sweet kind little soul. He stops what he’s doing to give me a hug when I need it. If one of his sisters is sad or hurt in the blink of an eye he has ran upstairs and fetched whatever little thing he thinks might make them feel better. He is sweet as can be to Morgan and especially Haven (when he isn’t pestering them).

I love Henrys mind. It is curious and observant and absorbs all kinds of information. He wants to know everything about the world, like how everything works.

Henry has a good soul. He has his days and moments where he whines and yells and pushes and shoves. He has the most wicked mad face you’ve ever seen. But, once he’s been to time out, he usually gives me the biggest hug and tells me that he is 'Very Sorry!' He has wisdom in that deep soul of his and he has all the right desires to be good.
We’re all so grateful that he’s a part of our lives.

Now on the other hand, I haven't really given Henry a big party before so I asked him what he wanted to do for his birthday and he chose to take a few friends and head to 'Jungle Jims Playland!' If you haven't been there you really should go, it's great and the kids absolutely loved it and had a blast. All the kids ran around taking turns going on all the amusement rides and playing arcade games. It was great! He picked out a Buzz and Woody(Toy Story) cake and we ate pizza. I got lots of pictures of everyone having a great time.

Happy Birthday Henry, hope you had a great day!

Rainy May!

I was upstairs and kept on calling Morgans name and she wouldn't answer so I came downstairs, the patio door was open and it was raining outside, but this is what I found outside.

I had been going through some of the girls clothes and Morgan found this size 10 swim suit that is too big for Katelyn and put it on and then she disappeared. She found an Infant sunhat, her raincoat and boots, an inside out too small skirt, and decided to play out in the rain. Wow, kids will do anything! I always miss the opportunity to take pictures of these funny moments so I quickly grabbed the camera and captured my little stinker. She was so happy to tell me what she had been doing, it was way cute. Oh, the swim suit was just a little too big for her, the crotch hung down past her knees! My fashionista!

Soccer Season!

What a crazy and busy time of year it has been! The kids have been playing soccer and tball and are now almost done with soccer.

Katelyn loves playing soccer and is such a speedy girl on the field. She loves playing with her friends and scoring goals. She also loves having her dad be the coach and Jason has enjoyed it too. Here is Katelyn scoring her last goal of the season! You go Girl!
Now Henry on the other hand. What a character he is! We never ever know what to expect from this little boy. He says that he loves soccer and wants to play, but then he doesn't do too much on the field. He really has improved though and will go after the ball, unlike last year.

Our little soccer star!
