Little.Boys.

I love being surrounded by my two little boys. I also have a very special place in my heart that is specifically there for my little nieces and nephews. I truly do consider myself the luckiest Auntie! I have 3 nieces (and one on the way!), and now 4 nephews! On September 12th my latest little nephew was born! My Sister Amanda and Brother-in-law Logan just had their second little guy and he is ADORABLE! He was born at 8:46 am and weighed a whooping 9 pounds 7 ounces! AND my sister delivered him all natural with no pain killers. She is amazing and I am SO proud of her! I knew she could do it! They named him Porter Alexander Ausmus, and he is so cute!

I had been anticipating a call from her saying "Its go time" when she was in labour headed to the hospital for days now! And at 4:26am on September 12th I got the call! They were on their way to the hospital and dropping off their little Taytum for me to watch him while they welcomed this new little Porter into their family.

I was surprised when I got a text from my mom saying that little (BIG) Porter was born at 8:46! My heart instantly swelled with love for this new little nephew. And soon enough little Taytum's world was about to get rocked.









Our day was busy, fun and sometimes stressful too. But these three (now 4) boys LOVE each other so much. I am so excited for them to grow bigger and closer together while they trek through this crazy chapter we all call family.







On Friday, September 13th, we got to go meet our new little nephew Porter. Of course we immediately fell in love with him.







Carter also instantly fell in love with him which really hits a soft spot in my heart. He was all over baby Porter. Kissing him, rubbing his head, and just wanting to be around him. It was adorable.



When I asked Carter if Mommy & Daddy should have another baby, he looked at me with those georgious eyes and said "Ya". He makes me smile so much.





Auntie loves you so much already Porter, I am so excited to watch you grow and always be there for you. You have become part of my world, my heart and I love you so much buddy!



My boys have been insane lately! Bentley is 10 months and really curious about everything!



He will eat ANYTHING you put in front of him and LOVES to feed himself. In one day only, on September 8th, he learned to clap his hands and wave hello and bye bye. IT IS SO CUTE!! And now he can give a high-five and sometimes (if your lucky) he will blow you a kiss. My heart is full!



Bentley is now crawling up to furniture and windowsills, toys and really anything he can get up to, and walking along everything. This is a fun stage for me to watch. They are so curious and cautious and so determined. It is a beautiful milestone in my opinion. What a blessing!

Bentley also is starting to get the signature "Crazy Carter Hair"! Its constantly sticking up...



Carter is getting so big too! He is still LOVING his little brother.. sometimes they get a little crazy together and are ALWAYS wrestling.. is this seriously happening already!?

Carter is my ever so sweet.. or insanely CRAZY boy. He lives in the extremes. One minute he's telling me "You look beautiful Mommy" or helping me with everything, saying "Ok Mommy" when I ask him to do something.. and the next minute he's loosing it over not wanting to go potty or sharing a specific train.. he's an extreme kid, it makes him who he is.







I truly am so lucky to have the things I do, to love the way we do, and to know the importance of family and even though somedays my kids test all my patience, I get tired, frustrated and feel defeated. I still could never imagine life without them. I am so lucky to be their mother.
