Easter 2014

Here's our attempt at Easter pictures.

Here Comes the Tooth Fairy!!

Jackson's tooth has been loose for a while. We've tried for 3 days to pull it. Well, Michael has tried not me! I'm too chicken for pulling my baby's teeth. Jackson had a dental appointment today and I was going to ask the dentist to pull it but it fell out while he was eating lunch. And he said it didn't hurt at all.

How often does something like this come home in your child's book bag?

Jackson snaggled tooth grin!

He is using the tooth fairly pillow his dad used. He was so excited about putting his tiny tooth in the pillow. After this picture he asked me to put the pillow on the floor beside his bed because he didn't want to knock it off. Then he told me he was going to miss his tooth. I can't wait to see what the tooth fairy leaves!

Come On In....Family Rooms

I recently stumbled across Momfessionals blog and I have gotten some neat ideas from Andrea. She is doing a blog tour of homes so I thought I would link to her site. I hope I get some good ideas for decorating!

Michael and I have been in this house for almost 8 years. Every room has had something done to it. We added a master suite when we found out we were having twins in 2010. We took most of the breakables out. It's a little dangerous with 3 boys (ages 6 and 3 year old twins). I'm in the process of putting items back. 

This is walking in from our front door. And it's early in the morning before all of the toys are out.

Here's another view from the front of our house. The door to the right of the fireplace goes to a screened in porch and the door to the left is our new master bedroom. The antique water table is missing the door thanks to Jackson (our 6 year old) and needs to be put back on. This was the first uh-oh with an antique!

This wall is going into the master suite. These pictures are of my father in law, my husband and my 3 boys wearing the same outfit for their one year old pictures. The table and stool are from my husband's grandparents house. It looks like the stool is sideways...thanks to my boys. Ha! The twins bedroom is to the left in this picture.

This is looking from our master bedroom. A small bookcase beside the front door holds some toys and books. And the bench in front of the couch is toy storage. 3 boys equals lots of toys! We usually have another rug in front of the double windows but it gets in the way of the pillow racers (the orange toys you see under the table). I even roll the large rug over so they have more room to race.

Here's a larger bookcase that holds more toys. We had two of these in this corner but down sized the toys and moved some upstairs in Jackson's room. The twins roam upstairs now so we keep more toys up there.

So...there is our Family Room. 

Spring Break is HERE!

We are going to live in our yard this spring and summer. The boys already know if it isn't raining we are going outside. 

Miles cruising around the backyard. 

Carter loves the dirt pile. 

The boys helped Michael check the sprinklers. 

Carter was excited to run thru them.

Miles even joined the fun.

This is the boy who didn't want to get wet 2 summers ago! 

And this is the one who likes to strip down to his underwear outside! And will tinkle when the urge strikes him. The joys of potty training little boys! (I've already apologized to the neighbors.)  

Miles and Carter were upset because they didn't have a place to sit and eat their snack. Michael put some boards together for them and they were happy as can be.

This little boy only has a couple of weeks left of 5k and I'll have a 1st grader! And his bottom two teeth are loose. I can't take all of this right now!!

Of course one the boys had to work on their jeep. Half naked. 

Easter Parties

The Easter Egg Hunts have begun! We had two parties (at the same time) the Friday before spring break. My mom and I went to Jackson's and Boom and Michael went to Miles and Carter's. I think it's safe to say that all my boys love to hunt for eggs!

Jackson's 5k class and his teachers, Miss Missy and Mrs. Walters. 

Jackson was fighting with a girl over an egg. He won - just so you know. He wasn't giving her that egg! 

They searched all over the yard.

And the swing kept the entire class busy for a long time.

Miles looks happy about his eggs.

Carter carrying his milk jug basket.

Can you tell Miles was feeling yucky? He was recovering from strep throat. 

All 2k Easter Parties include yummy snacks! 

March iPhone Pictures

Jackson had his first baseball game.

Miles and Carter were pooped from playing with Miss Amanda.

The boys took a golf cart ride. 

Carter did great during the 2 hour wait at the ENT's office. 

This happened within 5 minutes of coming home from school. Carter was looking for stickers.

Jackson climbing his favorite tree at Scrappy's house. 

Eating Sunday lunch at Pams.

Doesn't everyone play in the dirt like this?

Jackson made a Leprechaun trap at school. We didn't catch that sneaky little man but he did leave a treat for the boys. 

Jackson helped me roll the cookies. He loves home made cookies.

Jackson's class trip to the planetarium.

Carter has developed a love for being naked. 

See... naked eating supper on the porch.

We loved the warm days. 

More playing in the dirt.

When Carter was better from his bug I took him the CVS. He had a blast walking around shopping.

Miles and Carter wanted to watch tv like this one day. It lasted 2 minutes and they were up running around.

Drinking slushes naked. 

I found an app for making monograms for my phone. I love playing with it!

Carter back for a follow up from his sinus infection. 

More dirt.

And Jackson's first soccer practice. He is the tallest (and oldest) one on his team.
