We're Still Here!

I've been so bad at posting as we've been quite busy recently. Besides the normal day-to-day life with 3 munchkins running about, I also started a small preschool in my home. It's been fun, especially since Christopher and Brooklyn get to come! But a few things, like this blog, have been neglected. But we are alive and well!

Here are a couple of my favorite pictures from the past few months:

 Last month, Chris was able to go to Italy, France and Scotland on a 2 week business trip. You can see a cool castle in the back that he visited. I'm grateful that he works hard, but even more grateful that when he gets home, he plays hard with the kids (you'll see in the videos)!

And now, for a few fun videos:

 

This is one of my favorite things ever- playing together on a Sunday evening! 

Mostly Matthew

Our sweet Matthew turned one year old last week. He is such a busy, playful and happy little boy and we have so much fun with him! His birthday was pretty simple but fun. Here are some pictures and videos of him:

One from Christopher's view...

And a few other random pictures:

Christopher got such a kick out of dressing Brooklyn up like a boy the other day- funny kids!

We had fun at Chris' work picnic a few weeks ago

One night Christopher told me in a very serious voice, "Tomorrow I'm going to be SUPER busy getting everything ready for preschool. I need to measure stuff, buy stuff. I don't think I'm going to have time for my responsibilities (his chores). They're just going to get squished out." Ha! Then later came this video:

 

I love when all my kids sit with me like this. It usually doesn't last long, but I enjoy it while I can!

Picture Update

We have had a fun, busy summer so far. I have lots of pictures, so I'll keep the writing short. Enjoy my favorite pictures from the past couple of months:

Playing Catch Up

This post is long with a bunch of pictures, so I won't say much. These pictures are all pretty random but show our recent fun doings:

We were excited to plant our first garden

Christopher loves putting on puppet shows

One night when Brooklyn was on our bed, we came up to find she had eaten this entire pack of gum!

One evening as we were walking through a sporting goods store, she kept running to items that were pink and purple, saying "This mine favorite!" She is such a girly girl.

We went to a kid's museum called "Pretend City" and the kids had a blast exploring everything

 I sure love these boys!

We have loved watching our garden grow

And of course this kid keeps us entertained with his funny little sayings:

After I finished exercising- "You smell like a pig in the mud! But you don't look like a pig in the mud, just smell like it."

"Keep your eyes fixed on me the entire time."

At the park- "You know how I climb up the slide? It's such a thrill!"

 These kids love Uncle Bryce!

Last week we got to see cute cousin Rebecca who was so sweet to share her princess dresses with Brooklyn. She loved it!

 We always love having Becky and Jessie come visit!

 We're sure loving our summer so far.  Life is good!
