A few fun pics!

 

Tripp's favorite place to play is the big dog bed!

All 3 boys fell asleep in the car, but Ty's hat fell over his head.  Typical guy to pull his hat over his head for a nap. Boy, they learn early!

Enjoying a spring break drive to Chicago...

Tripp is 9 months!
 

Day of the young Child provided entertainment for us on a beautiful Saturday morning!  The boys sat in the fire truck, school bus, and loader.

Ty dressed up like a pirate!

Tripp's first time swimming!

It was a brief moment with all 4 children, but I was fortunate to have my camera on me at the time!

The whole family on the lazy river! 

Thankfully Nana and Papa joined us on our trip!

It's always good to get away.  With Nana and Papa along, we were able to pull it off!  The kids seemed to enjoy it!  And our Kid Cabin hotel room provided some enjoyment as well (after they fought over the top bunk).  Cousin Eden came by for a visit as well!  Fantastic weekend! 

more fun...

Cort is very focused doing his 50 states puzzle.  

Quite impressive for a 2 1/2 year old! 

Brotherly love!

Pajama Time!

 No, this isn't our normal date night attire... It was 80's night dinner at church!

 

I went for coffee with a friend and ran into one of my favorite Christian singers; JJ Heller!  I was SO excited! She was in town for a concert that evening!

Very handsome look Ella!

February Fun

All I can say is...

MMMMMM -BOP!!!

 

A stunningly beautiful Saturday for a walk with my oldest and youngest.

Peek-e-boo! I see you!

Valentines Fun

Valentines weekend was extra fun!

 

 The kids enjoy building forts around our house. On Saturday morning while making breakfast, we found these three all reading together!  Cort is sitting on Ella's lap and she is reading to them!

Ella received a Christmas gift to create some cake pops.  I am not the greatest at decorating, so she and I did our best to make some special treats!

 We also took the three oldest to Disney on Ice!  They all enjoyed it and it was a great show as always!

 

 This is how most of our pictures turn out... Cort making a funny face, Ella looking nice, and Ty isn't even looking at the camera.  Just keeping it real, folks. 

I do think he liked it though.  He couldn't keep his eyes off the show!

Tripp

The ever evolving faces of our little Trippy!

This little man can sleep through all the chaos around our house!

6 months!

6 months!

Look at me mom!

We had a few mystery viruses that came through our house one week.  Poor little guy just couldn't play any longer. 

The next day he fell asleep again, but this time he was trying to hide. 

7 months on Valentines Day!
