Baby Boy is 8

It blows my mind that our baby is 8! Life is never boring when Camp is around. He loves to put on a show & is never afraid to march to the beat of his own drummer.

Camp doesn’t like cake so for his last few birthdays he has requested a bowl of candy instead of cake. When his friends at school told him that was weird, he just shrugged his shoulders & went on his way. I truly admire his confidence. 

Camp loves In N Out & requested it for both lunch & dinner today. He is goofy & sweet & everything we needed to round out our family. We love you baby boy!

Cooley is 10

This cute guy turned 10 yesterday! Cooley is sweet, thoughtful & is always the first to jump up & be willing to help. He loves babies/toddlers & takes a slow & methodical approach to everything he does. He still loves Legos and has recently gotten sucked into the Harry Potter series with Milo.

Funny story about Cooley…A couple of nights ago we were talking about college at the dinner table. Cooley mentioned how excited he is to go to college one day. For the last several years Cooley has said that he wants to be a chef so we let him know that most chef’s go to culinary school instead of college. His eyes instantly welled up with tears as he sobbed that he wants to go to college. We let him know he 
can go to college no matter what he decides to to. 😂 Who knew this kid has such a love for higher education? Apparently we need to add “college” to his bday letterboard. 😂

Birthday Eve Pictures

Every year on the eve of Cooley's birthday, he does a random photoshoot with Maeli. It's 
always fun to see what interesting outfit choices they come up with for the shoot.

Maeli is 13!

Maeli loves dancing & anything music. She insists on controlling the music playlist everywhere we go & dances her way through all of her conversations. 

This year we watched the entire Gilmore Girls series together & it was easily one of the highlights of my life. I will forever cherish the memories of our nightly watch sessions in her bed & our girls weekends spent eating takeout & binging episodes late into the night. 

So thankful for 13 years with this incredible girl. Love you baby girl! 😘

Milo is 11

It blows our minds that this guy is 11 today! 🤯 

When Milo loves something he is ALL in. His recent obsession has been baseball…watching 
baseball, playing baseball, & collecting baseball cards. 

But even with his new passion for baseball, he still holds a strong love for reptiles & remains the 
king of “collecting/creating.” Milo hates throwing things away & can create a masterpiece out of anything. He’s regularly found digging through our recycling bin to find materials for elaborate inventions & pieces of art. 

This guy’s mind is pretty incredible - we can’t wait to see all the crazy cool things he does with it. 
We love you Milo-Man! ❤️

Our Baby is 7

Our baby is 7! Camp has an excitement for life that is unmatched. He is strong-willed and refuses to be pushed into doing anything he doesn’t want to do. So much so that he told us that one of his goals for the year is to NOT play any sports this year. 😂

If allowed, Camp would live off of chips & salsa, chicken nuggets, and pizza. He still hums when he eats and can out-eat all of his older siblings. 

Birthdays are always a little bittersweet with Camp being our baby. 🥲 But we are so thankful we get to celebrate another year with that cute cheesy grin! Happy birthday big boy!

Cooley is 7!

This guy is officially 9!! Cooley is our chicken nugget-obsessed, baby loving, backwards hat wearing, social kid. He is a bit of a chameleon and easily adapts to get along with whoever he is with. He is best friends with Milo & more often than not, best enemies with Camp but he is adored by all. We couldn’t imagine our life without that cute little smile. Love you Cooley!

10 Years Old

Milo is an all-in kind of guy. When he’s into something it becomes his entire world. He loves fishing, can tell you animal facts for hours, & would be a contestant on Alone tomorrow if he could.

He’s recently developed celebrity crushes on Keira Knightley & Maia Mitchell. He’s sweet, sensitive, & keenly aware of the feelings of those around him. We are so thankful for every day we get with this special guy! Happy birthday Milo Man!

5-Year-Old Camp

Camp is always full of energy & is quite the chatterbox. He loves looking for bugs & equally likes to “bug” his siblings. He is tenderhearted and quick to apologize when he’s done something wrong. When he has something to say he usually prefaces it with “Can I tell you something?” & says “I love you” at least 5 times a day.

At bedtime last night, I was telling Camp how much I was going to miss “5-year-old Camp.” He asked me to sing him a song about it so I put my words to a made-up tune. As I finished singing, tears welled up in his eyes & he said “you’re making me cry.” He then proceeded to sing to me with the same teary eyes. The saddest part about parenting little kids is that they grow up way too fast. 🥲 Happy birthday big boy - here’s to hoping this next year goes by a whole lot slower.

The Big Eight

Cooley is our chicken nugget-obsessed, robe & slipper-wearing peacemaker who is sweet to the core. He could care less about being the center of attention & can’t be pushed to do anything he doesn’t want to do. He is a man of few words but when he does talk, his comments are always very intentional & well thought out. So thankful we get celebrate 8 years with this special guy. ❤️

He's 5!

Each birthday is a little more bittersweet knowing he’s our last. Camp is the best at saying “I love you,” cracking potty jokes, & singing and humming his way through life. Looking forward to soaking up every minute of this boy being 5.

SEVEN!!

He’s the first to give up a toy to one of his siblings, can always be found with a smile on his face, & hates attention so much he didn’t even want to take a treat to share with his class at school. Thankful for every day we get to spend with that cute smiling face. Happy 7th Cooley!
