Family Update

It has been a long time but we are all doing well. Here are some cute pictures of the boys. It is amazing how fast they grow up. Cully is eigth months now! He is rolling all over but not crawling yet. It is almost better that he isn't. I am not sure I am ready for that yet. He is such a joy in our family.

This picture is a great description of Karsten. He is a rowdy three year old boy. He loves puzzles, games, celery, apples, big carrots, glue, bandaids and much more.

Brecken is doing great in kindergarten. He loves his new friends and wants a play date everyday. He is learning to read and write sentences. He writes on everything he sees, even his dads important papers. Oops!

We are doing great. Tom is wrapping up his first semester of his Masters in Teaching program. He loves it. He will be a great teacher. I am looking forward to all the fun holiday activities. Have a great holiday!

Camping

We went camping this past weekend with my Dad and Mary and sisters and their families. We went up north of Payson, right by where my old Girls Camp is. It was chilly at night but felt so good during the day.Here is Cully in his night time gear. He is such a good boy. He was a little off of schedula when we were camping but seemed to do pretty well.
The boys had a great time playing water guns, hiking, playing hide and seek, riding in the Rhino, and playing in the dirt.

Here is Brecken after a spill right after getting all wet. He was covered in mud. Karsten also was so dirty but I cleaned him up before I took his picture.

The boys loved going on rides in the Rhino. It even put them to sleep on one of there trips. We had a great time. I have to admit though one weekend is long enough. We were so dirty and I was ready to get home and back to a routine.

My boys know how to clean up. Aren't they so cute!! I love little Cully's tie.

Bogle Family Update

We had our family pictures taken two weeks ago. Elise, Tom's sister, took some great photos. She always does a great job.
We took tons of pictures. It can be hard to get a great picture with everyone looking but the boys were great.

I love Brecken's smile. He always has this half smile. It is so cute. He went today to take his test for Kindergarten. I can't believe he will be in Kindergarten in just a few months. He was even given some homework and came home and did it right away. He is such a good kid.

Karsten is getting so big. He is acting more and more like a three year old everyday. (He will be three in August.) He loves to "read" books and play with his brother. He also loves to pretend.

Cullen is two months old. He went to the doctor today and the doctor called him "The Hulk". He weighs 14lbs and 4oz (97%), height 23.75 inches (75%), and 15.75 (50%) head circumference. Our little Cully seems to come from a different mold than his brothers. He is tall and does not have a big head. Both Brecken and Karsten have head sizes in the 99%. Cully's new hair is coming in brown and both the older boys hair is blonde. It will be interesting to see how he turns out. He is such a good boy. Last night he even slept from 7pm-5am in the morning. He is such a happy baby.

We are so lucky to have these three wonderful boys!!

Shooting in the Desert

On Memorial Day, we decided to go shooting in the desert. Grandma Patti took Cully while Tom, the boys, myself, and the Cragheads went shooting. Brecken was so excited. Karsten and Brecken got to shoot Tom's pellet gun. Brecken was probably the person who shot the most. He loved it.

Karsten loved shooting too!

Here I am shooting a .22 rifle. I liked shooting the guns that did not have a lot of kick.
It was fun having Megan and Reuben come with us. Here's Megan shooting the rifle also. After shooting we barbecued hotdogs on the fire. They were yummy. We had a great time shooting. I can't wait until we can go again. It is too bad the weather will be scorching hot for the next few months. We may have to wait until fall.

Cully's Blessing

Cully is growing so much. He is six weeks old today. I love these pictures of him. He makes some of the cutest faces.We blessed Cully on Sunday May 3rd. His sweet Nana B (Grandma) made him a beautiful blessing outfit. I love this picture too.
Here is our family photo after the blessing. This is what you get when you have three boys. This is a typical day in the Bogle home. We are so blessed with three wonderful boys.

Easter Pics

Here are a few pics from Easter. I love this picture of Karsten. He makes this face all the time when he is showing or presenting something. His hands are also always like this. He is so silly. Here is Brecken in his Easter Sunday dress. This is the pose he did when I told him I needed to take his picture. He knows he is so cool.Here is little Cully. He is already getting so big. He is such a good baby, definitely a keeper.
Here are all the boys on Easter. I love all their white shirts and ties.

Update

We are all home doing well. Karsten is doing much better. He ended up being in the hospital for 3 days. He had Reactive Airway Disease, which is basically asthma when you are sick. He is glad he is back at home with his family and plenty of room to run around.Here he is at the hospital enjoying his dinner. Tom had the harder job taking care of a two and a half year old in a small room for three days. There was a lot of bouncing off walls, loud talking, and cartoons all day. Tom is a great husband and father. Also I need to thank my mom for relieving Tom for several hours a day so Tom could visit me and the baby and get a refresher.
Here is our sweet baby Cully. He is such a good boy. I can't get enough of him.

Brecken loves his little brother. He wants to hold him all the time. He is also a good helper.

My three handsome boys! Cullen all ready loves his big brothers. He smiles every time he hears their voices.

Karsten also loves holding his brother. Karsten is finally better so he gets to hold Cullen. He couldn't wait to get to hold him. We are all doing great and so glad we are home.

April Fools!!

Cullen Thomas Bogle

Born April 1st 2009, 1:26 am

8 lbs 8 oz, 20 3/4 inches long

We are so excited for the arrival of this little guy. He finally decided to join us a few hours after his due date. Sorry Merilee that you missed him. We all thought he would be early just like his brothers. Delivery was easy and great. My water broke and six hours and three pushes later he was born.

He has a ton of black hair. The boys each had lots of brown hair but Cully's hair is black. He is so adorable.

Brecken loves him so much. He would not share his little brother with anyone else.

I love this picture. Brecken will be a great big brother.

On a different note, the delivery of Cullen went great but Karsten is in the hospital for Respiratory problems. So Tom is with Karsten and I am with the baby. At least we are in the same hospital. It has been a crazy few days. Hopefully we can all go home tomorrow. Thanks everyone for coming and visiting and giving us your support. We love all of you.

What Part Of No Getting Wet Do 2yr Olds Not Understand?!

Of course I couldn't pass up the opportunity to take a picture.

This is what two year olds think "Don't get wet" means.

On Monday, we decided to make robot heads for family night. The boys loved it. Thanks Megan for giving us the idea and joining in the fun.

Here is Brecken, Karsten, and Rueben in their robot heads.

Here is Tom enjoying in the fun.

For those of you wondering, no baby yet. We are hoping any day, even though I am not due for eleven days.

You may think I'm Crazy, I know I do!

After 3 days of Augmentin, Karsten's bum was burned to a crisp. I couldn't change any more diapers with Karsten screaming his head off. We decided the best thing to do was potty train him. He still had 7 days to go on the medicine. I know I am crazy. I am 37 weeks pregnant! But I didn't know what else to do. After the first day his bum was so much better. He has many accidents but I didn't have to deal with a screaming child because his bum hurt. Tomorrow it will be a week and he is doing pretty well. He still has 2-3 accidents but he will learn. He mostly tells me when he needs to go. I am glad that we decided to potty train him. We still may have many accidents to come but at least he is a happy boy.Last week, Tom took Brecken out skateboarding for the first time. Brecken loved it! So did Tom! Isn't he such a big boy. At my rate of posting, the next post will probably be pics of the new little baby. We can't wait for him to come.

Brecken

Brecken went to a birthday party the other day and brought me home this beautiful necklace! On Sunday morning, he brought it to me so I could wear it to church. I being a nice mother, decided I would wear it. He leaned over in sacrament and said, "You look beautiful with your necklace." He is so sweet. I wore the necklace the whole church. I am sure I had a few people wondering what I was wearing but I would do anything for my little Brecken. I did have a few people admire the necklace. A little eight year old girl stopped me in the hall at the end of church and said she loved my necklace! I was chuckling to myself and said thank you. I just wanted to let everyone know how thoughtful my little Brecken is. He is such a good boy.

Baby Name??

Well it has been a long time since I have posted. I am counting down the weeks to the new baby. I am finally in the single digits (8 weeks left). We are not completely ready for the baby to come. I need a few things and I need to organize all the baby clothes. We haven't figured out a name yet. I have some ideas and thought I would run them by you all. I have been feeling like he should be named after Tom's Great Grandpa. His name is Cully Fletcher. I am not sure if I like the name as just Cully because I want him to have a strong name and there are not many boys names that end in a y sound. Tom thought we should name the baby Cullen but I have had several comments on how that sounds. I don't know what to do. Does just Cully sound girly or does Cullen sound bad? I just thought you guys could give me an opinion.
