Goodbye... HELLO!!

Goodbye...

Hello!

With another girl on the way I can totally justify a little girlie-ness in the kids bathroom!

I used a power tool other than a drill for the first time! Cut the board myself and I still have all my fingers... :)!

Room for more... hello, better get busy!

Goodbye!

You have served us well... I bought these chairs 8 years ago for our first apartment!!

Hello! 3 kids... 3 bar stools!!

It has been 3 to 2 since Leo refused to sit in his high chair a couple months ago...

YES!! HELLO!!

Johnny looks awesome in his new Easter hat!

GOODBYE!

No sentimental tears, just take apart and throw away... the poor thing has been in use for 6 years STRAIGHT!!

HELLO!!

It has been 10 days of sleeping in the big boy bed and Leo is doing AWESOME! He stays in bed all night and still takes naps like a champ!

Yes, hello sweet boy! He has all his essential sleeping friends!

And sometimes, hello...

Egg Hunt

We had a picnic and Easter eggs hunt with some friends on Saturday.

Ky traded all her "boy" eggs with a friend...

Johnny ate all his treats right away, except the chocolate... saved it for mom, I trained him well!!

Leo found ONE egg and was happy... until its treat were gone, then he had to go find another one... the big kids helped him out and started bringing him eggs!

Coloring Eggs!

We "colored" Easter eggs... no killing eggs at our house!

Go Lightning!!!

Check out Steve's sunset egg! (top left)

flagstone dream...

It was a dream come true to see my little kiddos riding their bikes on the flagstone! ;)

Our house is on a somewhat busy road, not really "busy," just one way with no sidewalk. The kids riding in the driveway always makes me nervous. So I talked Beave into making this patio, I planned that it would be where the kids rode their bikes... it was almost the end of a very happy family... toddlers, crushed glass, and 2 summers... YUCK! But FINALLY it is done and they USED it!

Bubbles!

My kids are on a "NO BATH" kick, we have to talk them into it every time... then we talk them out of the tub too... silly sillies. After spending a day outside in the mud of spring we told Johnny he had to take a bath, he was shocked. "why mom, WHY?!"

Bubble Monster Kyla.

A B C

The Alphabet Wall.

It is FINALLY done! I have been working on this alphabet for months... Not that it took that much time to make the letters, just that I wanted each letter to be unique and with only 2 stores in Flagstaff which sold letters, I had to hunt around and then finally buy some online.

our littlest miss

Room for one more?

Room or not, there is one more making its way here... SHE will make her appearance the end of August. We are all super excited!

At the ultrasound Kyla kept saying, "Oh she is so cute!" Yes, ultrasounds are "cute."

Johnny said "Wahooo!!" Didn't know he cared...

Leo was concerned about what they were doing to his mommy.

Steve says, "Phew, now we don't have to move."

And I say, "YEA!! Bring on the girliness"

attempted easter pics

We tried to take some Easter pics this week... too bad Johnny's cold didn't cooperate, he was couching in half the pics and wiping his nose in the other half... We'll try again.

For the FIRST time EVER Leo decided to be stubborn about getting dressed, good thing he is still cute...

Kyla LOVED getting her hair curled. We need something a little stronger than steam rollers for her super straight hair though...

Here are the best of the bunch.

I LOVE my super adorable kids, once in awhile I can capture how beautiful they are.
