Easter Egg Hunt

Saturday morning we headed out to our Church Easter Egg Hunt. This year they had 40,000 eggs! The kids also had a fun time playing on the jumpies and in the petting zoo. It was a fun morning/afternoon!

Luke, Brodey (looking oh so excited to be sitting with all the babies), Lyla, Maddy, Ava, Caleb and Brock

Jeff caught this picture of our Pastor and Lyla... he carried her around for while... she LOVES him.

After the egg hunt we came home and helped daddy assemble our new (to us!) play set!

This video is for Luke's mommy... he is sooooo hilarious. So wish I would have taken the time to focus my camera before I shot this, but it's still so cute. The boy likes to dance!

Spring

The kids and I had a fun day at the park the other day. Daddy was working, but knew where we were and surprised us with ice cream!

I couldn't talk Brock out of these old man socks... there's only so much I can do.

Lyla is completely able to go down a slide on her own... but with these protective brothers around, she doesn't get the opportunity very often.

I don't know what Brock thought he was accomplishing holding her face like this...

Preschool Easter Party...

Me and the younger two went up to Brodey's school yesterday for the Easter Party. We had lunch in his class and then played on the playground with all of Brodey's friends. Brock, of course, thought this was awesome. He ran around the playground calling all of them by name... it was funny to watch!

"Mom... plllllease take this tie off me...."

Easter Eggs!

We almost forgot to color Easter Eggs this year! We have been so busy getting everyone's dentist, doctor, ophthalmologist, teacher conferences, and OB appointments in getting ready for baby. It's hard enough toting 3 kids around for that... can't imagine it will be easier with 4!
ANYHOW.. this was late one night... past bedtime, which makes everything exciting for sure. We had nine eggs in the house.. so that's how many we colored! Luckily the neighbor had some vinegar for us to borrow, cause we didn't have any of that either. Brodey worked it out perfectly... 5 for him because he's 5
3 for Brock because he's 3
and 1 for Lyla because she is 1
Smart boy.

Lyla was so tired she looked like she might fall asleep at any moment. (with dinner still stuck to her face)

Daddy tried to get her more excited... but she was just too tired for smiles

18 month well check...

Better late than never! Lyla's 18 month well check was a few weeks ago... but I just came across these pictures and remembered!

Brock... always fun

She was a trooper for her shots and did very well stacking blocks, playing tea party and coloring with the Doctor. She is a tiny little 31.5 inches (40th %tile) and 23 lbs (45th %tile). She doesn't do a lot of talking yet... words we do hear a lot are "momma, doggy, brocky and pppplllleaseee".

Pictures

Lincoln log masterpiece....

The boys were having an especially rough time obeying while playing outside the other day so they both spent some time in the time out spot. Lyla felt left out so she put herself in time out...

Lyla likes to snuggle things on the floor.. the boys were so cute covering her up with her "nigh-night" and then snuggling up next to her.

Super Hero's and sillies

The boys were playing super hero's the other day... blanket capes and all... and they were picking super hero names. Brock was "Super Camo Boy!" and Brodey said he was "Super Uncle Myles! the super hero". So cute.

Lyla is reminding us more and more of Brock with her crazy expressions and silliness. We are in for some trouble!! You can tell they really love each other... Brock likes to pester her, but she forgives him fast and is always trying to hug him.

Brodey and Brock were sitting on the couch and Brodey looked at Brock and said, "Why are you sitting so close to me?? You're not my hunny." (?????) Who is his hunny???
