Must Be Doing Something Right

Cousin Time

This rowdy crew...we were playing at Aunt Epi's today and everything was going great(by great I mean the children were covered in mud and screaming at the top of their lungs).  Then Gavin tripped over their dog Bella and landed face first on the concrete.  He fractured his tooth and bloodied his chin.  It was quite the drama.  So it's off to the dentist for us in the morning!

Field Trip

I got the opportunity to accompany Logan's class to the zoo today and was given this group of 3 wild boys. It's so funny to see how differently Logan acts when he isn't with his siblings.  Beautiful day!

Safe Sleep

Kate says they are all in time out, but they appear to be sleeping to me.  This is definitely not safe sleep.  I think this girl is gonna have to brush up on her skills if she is going to be the next NICU nurse like her mama!

Patching

Gavin has started to see a new eye Dr.  The peds opthamologist we were using had horrible bedside manner and Gav would not even attempt to do his charts.  We saw Dr. Tran today and she was awesome with him.  I think this might be the first real eye exam he's ever had. That is the good news.

The bad news is that his condition is regressing.  So we are back to patching 24/7.  After years of patching, Gavin is not a fan and I can't say that I blame him.

Baby E & Easter

We had the family over for Easter today.  We got to love on baby Emerson and all the aunts and uncles.  It difficult to lose traditions with my grandparents but fun to make new traditions of our own. We are blessed.

A Picture is Worth 1000 Words

We hung out with the Maclaskey's today and help Abby put her garden in.  Do these pictures make you want to know what our day was like?  I was crazy...and beautiful...and perfect!

Dirt

We got to steal the Cryderman's after daycare tonight.  What ever are we going to do when we actually buy a house and don't have the huge mound of dirt to dig in?

Fresh Air

We took Finley to the zoo with us today. These girls are so sweet together. We made it to the barn area right after this lamb was born. The umbilical cord was still attached. SO cool.  I think it's safe to say I wore them out.

Stache

Because everyone needs a mustache...everyone but Kate apparently.

Roscoe

I didn't have many toys growing up...toys just weren't my cup of tea. I would much rather have bikes and books than barbies. But, Roscoe was our beloved stuffed puppy. I would let Kate and AJ sleep with him when they were sick or scared.  He's still around and my kids are kind of loving him too.

BFFs

Payton's birthday party was tonight.  It was a full day.  But it was a good day and these are some great people.  We are so lucky to have such great friends who's mommies are all BFFs too.

Big Blues

My Heart

Beauty

These kids might make me a bit crazy but the beauty the find in simple things melts me heart.

I Believe

Logan didn't want to go to children's church today so he stayed with me.  At the end of the service he handed me this...faith restored!

Loganisms

So daddy is working late and Kate and gav are exhausted after being up all night and Logan says:Mom, you know who chaos is? Me:No, who? Logan: Duh, chaos is this house...yes, yes it is

Spring Has Sprung

We needed something to do while Dad was working so we snuck out to the Kindergarten playground. I love these little hams.

Bella Rose

Bella is growing so fast. Her furry little self has quite the personality. She has graduated from having to be crated in the basement at night(due to howling/barking) and has a palace of a kennel in the living room.  While she has been a ton of work, I love seeing the kids with their puppy.
