Hebert Boys Update

These boys are growing bigger and getting more fun by the day!!

 

They are the best playmates.....

 

 

 

 

They love to be silly together....

 

They are superhero's saving the world together.....

They are fishing buddies....

(Here they were "pretending" to catch BIG fish on our driveway)

 

 

They love to help Daddy mow the yard

 

They potty train together.....

 

 

 

They love to play in Daddy's boots!

 

 

 

Sometimes I love for them to dress alike, just like little men!! They look so handsome.....right??!!  

 

 

 

 

 

But they quickly revert back to being little boys and making messes together!!

 

 

And lately they have gotten some QT in with their other best buddies Gage and Mason! I have a feeling these boys will be TROUBLE in a couple of years and I am sure they will be filling our lives with many funny memories!!

 

 

 

Update on Cade:

 

He has found a new hobby of fishing!! He is very impressive with his casting skills and gets so excited when he catches one. He asks to go fishing almost every day, and of course how can daddy resist that precious face??!!

 

I think he has FINALLY mastered the potty training, well at least #1, we are still working on #2. But I will take the victories when I get them. The other day I caught him pooping in his pants and he said "Mommy this poo poo feels like a cupcake in my pants"!!??? I didn't know whether that was a good thing or a bad thing, regardless we are working on #2 in the potty! 

 

He continues to have such a caring heart and he has a charming, infectious personality with quite a smile to go with it!!

 

Although lately we have had the pleasure of experiencing his stubbornness coming out a little more! With swimming and potty training we have figured out that in order to get him to cooperate you have to use the "sink or swim" method. Drop him in the deep end or send him to school in big boy pants and even though he refuses, he is smart enough to realize what he has to do!! Trick is you have to make him think it is his decision and he is not getting made to do something he doesn't want to!! Little stinker....he takes after both mommy and daddy in that area!

 

He is growing up TOO fast!! The other day he went all day with no potty accidents and then got in the car and buckled his seatbelt all alone...I can say that was a moment that I wish to forget as I realized he is almost a real big boy!! I don't know if I am ready for that??!!

 

He is all boy who laughs when he poots, manipulates his little brother and then gives you those angel eyes, he loves to walk around singing random songs, he immediately migrates to any mud or water, and loves to ride 4-wheelers, fish and has no problem charming the ladies!

 

Update on Brooks:

 

 

Where do I begin??!! This child NEVER ceases to amaze us. He talks and communicates like a 5 year old. The daycare director tells me often how much he amazes her with his comprehension and communication. Although, he still calls his juice "goose"...we are working on that one, but I think we finally have Cade saying it right now, hehe!

 

His latest phrase is "Maybe tomorrow??" For instance any question he asks and my answer his "No" he will reply, "Maybe tomorrow?" and my response is usually "Maybe!".  He seems satisfied with that answer, so I have found that is the best response. He constantly asks to go outside so he can sit on the 4-wheeler or "dit" (dirt) bike, so I often have to say "No buddy, not right now"....his response, "Maybe tomorrow??" and mine....well you guessed it, "Maybe!".

 

He is also learning how to potty train with Cade. And let's not downplay his success, he just turned two in May and is more potty trained than his 3 year old brother!!!! See here for more on this picture and an update on how that is going!!  That little face makes me laugh every. single. time....It is like he is saying "What's wrong mom??". Which this is the perfect example of the face I get every single time he does something wrong....oh the face of innocence!! Although, he is usually far from innocent!!

 

He is quite the little ham and always entertains us with his silly faces, random little dances and songs that he will walk around singing VERY loudly. His favorite song right now is "I am bringing home a baby bumble bee, won't my mommy be so proud of me?" and he also like "tinkle tinkle". The child loves anything with a motor on it.. Lawn mower, 4-wheeler, dirt bike, etc. the other day at the store he made me go down the aisle with the lawn mowers just to look at them!  He tries to follow in his brother's footsteps and is quite the big boy! He loves to get the stool and turn the lights on and off, ALL ALONE, he does not want to be helped.

 

 

 

These boys continuously fill our days with memories that I hope I never forget, but luckily I try to document most of them and hopefully on day we will appreciate looking back on all of this!!  All of our kids bring so much happiness and joy into our lives. I often sit and reflect on how thankful I am for the many blessing God has given us as a family!

 

Until the next update......
