REALLY?!  Snow in the middle of April?

Happy 9 month birthday!!

4-12-13


Kissable cheeks!

Meet our stray cat, Sethe.  She comes to visit every morning, afternoon, evening...apparently sunbathing our deck is her newest favorite place to be.

4-10-13


This makes for a fun laundry day!

4-9-13


We have stacks of books around our house right now.  Jeremy is on a mission to turn is classroom into a library!

4-8-13


Yes, even Jeremy uses Pinterest!  It has already helped reduce the clutter in our garage.

4-7-13


SURPRISE!  Curtis and Michelle found out they are expecting a baby boy at their big gender reveal party!  August can't get here soon enough!  I want to meet this little guy!

Daddy's lap is the best place to sleep!

Jeremy's dad found a great deal and bought us a cappuccino maker!  Delicious!

Look at this box full of toys.  Oh wait - there's a baby in there too!

4-3-13


To buy, or not to buy...

4-2-13


Joel was doing push ups with the girls during track practice over spring break.

4-1-13


The boys watching TV together.  Too cute!
















3-31-13


One more from Easter because it's too cute not to share.  The boys got new fish for Easter.  Joel's favorite thing to do was put the Easter eggs in the fish net.  It was really cute!

3-30-13


Yes, pathetic I know.  This is as good as I have of all three kids on Easter morning.

3-29-13


A fat lip and a bloody nose - of course right before Easter pictures.

3-28-13


Look who's standing without holding on!

3-27-13


Trying to take a self-portrait, but Jeremy got the better shot.

3-26-13


Grandma found some pretty sweet Star Wars Easter eggs!

3-25-13


Finally - peace.  Another rough night in the sleep department.

3-24-13


Avery and Ella - best buds at church and born a week apart.

3-23-13


Mr Phil - what are these things I'm looking through?

3-22-13


We went to school to watch Daddy play dodgeball against the students.  Joel picked his own outfit.

3-21-13


During busy season, meals get brought in to work.  For those of you who know me well, you will be shocked to know that not only did I eat this salad every week, but I liked it!

3-20-13


Joel deliberately ran into the snow before getting in the car.  He knew he wanted to eat snow while waiting at the bus stop to pick up Jake.

3-19-13


Our silly kiddo making us laugh!

3-18-13


Poor Joel - I've never seen something turn black and blue so quickly.  This was taken 10 minutes after he dropped a weight on his foot.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!  Avery is dressed in her green...and I'm still struggling with doing her hair!

A little brother bonding over an i-Pad game.

This is how Avery's hair looks when she gets out of bed in the morning.  I have NO idea how to deal with baby girl hair!

Look at how cute I am with piggie tails!  Mommy is glad that Lacey knows how to do hair.

I'm 8 months old today!  I love it when Daddy tosses me in the air!  I am happy most of the time and have a huge smile and sparkle in my eyes!

We are getting ready for baseball season!!

Jake desperately wanted a Learn to Draw Angry Birds book from his school book fair.  So, we let him get it...and look at what he came up with on his first try!!  Wow!!

Oh Joel...how do you manage to get into trouble in the TOY CLOSET?!
