Da BOYS......

My three sons....Oh yeah!!!

Hey there...

BOO YA!!!

I am Optimus Prime!!!

Jump...jump...jump...

BOO....

They might be almost 3 foot giants...NOT!

BOO!!!!

I don't want to look up and say cheese...

I love this slide....Can I do it again and again and again?
Thought I would post some of the most recent pictures we have of the boys. We also got a new seat for Lucas to sit in. Lucas really enjoys sitting up so it is a good thing.

I know, I know, I know I haven't updated in awhile...

He loves Zachary's spiderman chair...Yeah....

~Zachary and Nicholas, totally entranced in something...Don't remember what...~

I know, having some problems with the pictures.

Still sideways, but still love him......

Ok so he's sideways....We still love him.

Hello all...Things as usually are going pretty ok for the most part. I'm trying to get over some stomach bug thing that doesn't seem to react very well to Zantac, Pepcid, or other acid reducing and bloating reducing meds, and as of right now, TUMS is worthless (TUMS does work well on occasion but not at the moment.) ...And why can't you take multiple meds to see what works best. Anyways, I guess I am looking for the magic pill that will work instantly when it hits my tongue, especially since some of the meds are horrible to taste and must be chewed up so you get to savor the experience. Thank goodness everyone else is doing pretty ok. Zachary is taking meds for an ear infection. Knock on wood!!! He hasn't had many of those lately. Just thinking back to when the poor kid had one about every other week and two sets of ear tubes later. Nicholas is doing well exerting his dominance over his realm or he seams to think he does. He actually is doing very well in his new classroom with only a few altercations here and there. Hey he is only 2 1/2. Lucas is continually growing and growing. His next doctor's appointment is coming up in November. He really still only gets fussy when he is hungry, cold, or really poopy, and of ofcourse when he wants to sit up and look around. He is doing really well, doing alot of smiling and talking. His great battle, other than trying to survive two older brothers that want to shower their love on him, is cradle cap and some exema. Poor little guy just can't get rid of it (I'm referring to the cradle cap, not his brothers.) His other issue with the tight muscles in his neck seem to be getting a little better. We didn't take him for therapy because he is moving his head around more. If the doctor thinks we still need to see someone in November we will then. Overall, the family is doing pretty well and it is exciting to see gas at $3.34 a gallon. It actually cost me less than $30 bucks to fill up my car. Don't even ask abou the van. Sheesh... Well here are some updated pics of the boys. Enjoy.

A Day Out With Thomas....

It turned out to be a beautiful day for this event and made the train ride cooler. Blue skies and a temp in the low to mid 80's. Although at the end, the boys were tired and a lil cranky, they really did enjoy it. When we were walking back to the car, Thomas was leaving and all the way until Thomas was out of site, Nicholas kept screaming, "Bye Thomas".

"Day out with Thomas..."
Nicholas loves this train.

Zachary wanted to see every other train except Thomas. Poor kid was out of luck.

Zachary's buddy Bryce from daycare. They enjoyed jumping in an inflatable castle.

Good times at the train table until it was time to leave. (Major meltdown....Sheesh) Time for lunch!!!!

Even the little guy enjoyed the train ride.

I can't contain myself anymore. Go train go. (Look at my muscle...)

Wasn't so bad at the beginning, and then he fell alseep about midway on Leanne.

Two boys on the caboose. Cool hats dudes.

Since both of the older boys love Thomas (Nicholas can be a lil obsessive), we decided to do this event and see how it went. Overall, it was a good experience and Zachary actually saw one of his friends from daycare which was cool. I was thankful that the train ride was only 25 minutes. That was about as long as the two older boys could take. Zachary got a Thomas tatoo and Nicholas kept screaming Thomas. Like I said, sometimes a lil obsessive.

Hot off the press....

Look at those cheeks. Even just today Lucas is looking more like a chunky monkey.
He growing faster than his two brothers did at this age. Who knows, he might be bigger than both of his big brothers. It will be interesting see how this all pans out.

Thought I would take some pictures today. Luckily Lucas didn't wake up. Guess his belly was still full.

I know...I know...I know it has been a long time...

I spy....WATER....(but not to get in.)
Like my hat?

I spy...a bobcat...I think...

See the hair is above my eyes now. The process of the cut was quite an adventure, but we got it done.

Those big eyes.

Don't look into the light ...

I know, i'm going bald.

Still not sure what to think about this place.

Here are some long awaited updated pictures of Lucas and the rest of the clan. Lucas is showing signs of male pattern baldness, but it does seem to be growing back in some spots. Last night, he only woke up once at 1am and then didn't wake up until 6:45am. So needless to say that is a good thing. Now we just have to get Zachary and Nicholas to sleep in their beds through the night. They seem to be having some issues lately, but you know what, even with all of the craziness, life is pretty good and the boys are doing well. (That was one long run on sentence.)

Ongoings....

No mommy, I wasn't in the pool.

Filling the pool

Mighty Zach and his faithful sidekick the Super Burrito...
Finally got them all to stay put.

What a cutie and yes my arm tastes wonderful!

Enjoying a breeze outside.

Such a good mommy.

Things have been pretty busy, but fun with 3 boys around now. So let me put this simply: SEND HELP!!!!!! Just kidding or am I???? It does keep things hopping around here and always lively. Zachary and Nicholas are ofcourse going through transitions that include "wonderful" behaviors at home and daycare, but today was a good day. They are all good boys and I can't imagine a time before them. I love my boys. Here are some new pictures of Lucas, Zachary, and Nicholas. Enjoy......

Lucas, Lucas, and more Lucas...

Here are some of the most recent pictures. My parents left Friday night and I picked up Leann'e mom Friday afternoon. Everyone has been so helpful. They do love the boys and really have taken away some the new baby stress. Our friends from church have also been very supportive. Please continue to keep us in your prayers. Another peice of stress we are havign at this moment is that one of our cars is causing us some problems giving us only one usable vehicle. Leanne is having some serious cabin fever so this little bump in the road comes at a very in opportune time. Also, Lucas is starting to sleep more at night which has been a very good thing. God has truky blessed us. Thank you again to all of our friends and family who have been and continue to be so supportive during this new transition in the Ramos household.

Lucas...

My hands are bigger Lucas.

Comparing shoe sizes.

Happy, but tired family. Nicholas had already gone to bed by the time we got home.

Love my boys. Zachary is really excited about being a big brother again.
