Whereabouts of the Wickers: Our pumpkin farmer and his pumpkin

Our pumpkin farmer and his pumpkin

For Halloween Bradley was a pumpkin farmer and Austin was a pumpkin. We started the evening by going to our next door neighbors; Bradley was such a big boy this year. He rang the doorbell and said, “trick or treat.” Then, Chris took Bradley to the rest of the homes on our street while Austin and I gave out candy. I think Bradley would have gone to more houses if I were able to walk with them. He is always shy in new settings and when doing unfamiliar things, and we don’t see anything wrong with him being a cautious child. Austin “cheesed” it up for all the neighbors and family that came by to see the boys dressed up. He didn’t mind being in his pumpkin outfit even with it being so hot. Afterwards, we just hung out as a family, had supper, and watched a movie together. Bradley enjoyed going to the door with us to give out more candy as more children came.

My soul mate, my prince charming, my confidant, and truly my best friend. . . our lives crossed paths several times (even went to the same daycare when we were toddlers) before we started dating in high school and have been inseperable ever since. Hubby works long hours as a physician in Internal Medicine. His group is one of the few reamining traditonal ones, meaning he sees both in and out patients, so his day usually involves seeing patients in the hospital and the office. He is a Godly man whom walks daily with Jesus. That is a true blessing. He loves all sorts of yardwork, not that there is much time for that these days. Fishing, cooking, and reading are some of his other areas of interest. He is willing and does help with the housework and laundry as well as daily tasks with our alphabet.

The author of this blog has big dreams and aspirations, but has a major case of ADD which you will come to realize as she bounces from subject to subject. Her God given passion is being a wife and mother to her precious family first and foremost. The Wicker Mama delights in finding her true self enjoying the ins and outs of being a stay at home mom which is the hardest job she has ever had, but also the most rewarding. Her hobbies and interests include Bible study, running and working out, reading, music, being outdoors, blogging, MOPS, entertaining, organizing, playdates, and cooking. Her hubby and her share a lot of the same interests and hope to become more active, as a family, as the children grow and become more mobile. She also leads a 24 family produce co-op.

Our oldest baby boy, AKA: "B", Venti, Bradley Boy, Big Moose, and the big one. He is the leader of the pack, in 1st grade, and an awesome big brother. This budding extrovert has found much joy in meeting new friends and has done well in his new endeavour at school, but leaves a huge void in the house while he is away everyday. His love language is definitely touch as he loves to snuggle. He is all boy jumping from tractors, to trains and cars, to balls. However, he will drop any toy to help in the kitchen or vacuum in a skinny minute. He doesn't mind getting down 'n' dirty outside as he has a love for the outdoors and sports. B's favorite colors are orange and blue and is his Mama's mini me in looks and personality. He is packed full of energy, loves to talk, and his big brown eyes will melt your heart in a second.

Our middle child, "A", Goofy, Austin Doodle, Grande, Baby A, and our second born son is the oldest of the triplets. Our only surviving triplet is quite the fighter and you see it constantly in his fiesty personality. He is our class clown of the family and loves to perform to make people laugh as well as sing. "A" loves cars, balls of all sorts, the colors orange and green, and anything his big brother is doing. He is a Mama's boy, but is a spitting image of his Daddy. A cuddler too he is often found in someone's arms or on their lap and is far from the "touch me not" normal preemie. He even shares a room with big brother, because he hates being alone. However, he is a pro at sneaking in Daddy and Mama's bed during the night. He begs to watch TV and gets quite upset if you don't oblige his request. His big, beautiful brown eyes can light up a room as well as his sweet laugh.

Our youngest daughter, "C", Tall, Cameron Girl, Daisy, little girl, and our little pink pig. She has brought much sunshine to our family as she loves to smile and laugh. What a blessing this baby was when she filled the void of some sugar and spice in our household. She loves her brothers and is often mistaken for A's twin. She will eat anything, especially if Daddy or Mama are eating it, and isn't crazy about normal children's meals- hand her a steak and salad and she is in Heaven! She loves to make us laugh and gets our attention with silly faces and little tricks. She likes to perform, says "Tah Dah", and throws her arms in the air. You will often find her singing and dancing. Cameron Grace is all girl, likes pink and purple, baby dolls, books, and has a radar for pocketbooks. She has sweet, blonde hair and the prettiest blue eyes we've ever seen.

Our 4th son, youngest child, easiest pregnancy, has brought us much JOY. Davis completed our family July 2011 and was our biggest baby at 8 pounds 1 ounce. He is our Davis Doodle, The Davis, short, D, and silly boy that favors Bradley and Cameron. He likes to babble and dance and his smiles are awesome with cute dimples and the chunkiest cheeks. Davis laughs all the time, loves his siblings, being held, and cuddled. He is always on the go even if he's in your arms, because he kicks his chunky legs constantly. If he's on the floor his preferred mode of transportation is scooting on his rear- we've never seen anything like it before! He loves cars and balls. Often you will find him playing ball by himself, throwing and racing to get it before his older siblings capture it. Davis thinks he is as big as the other kids and can hold his own easily.
