Daily Life - April

April has come and gone in a flash, and I have a ton of cell phone pictures to prove it!

Sweet sleeping boy

 So fascinated with Ella's ($25) Frozen souvenir

 She dressed herself in my clothes, silly girl!

 So pretty headed to school the day of her classroom Easter egg hunt

 He doesn't much let me rock him anymore, so I savor these moments when I get them. 

 Oh dear, this girl!

 Helping her brother.

We surprised Carter for lunch one day, and he was excited to get to buy ice cream for Ella. He's been dying to buy her ice cream! Sweet brother.

 And Carter's teacher got her baby fix loving on Cole.... like always!

 First time to ride in the shopping cart like a big boy!

 :)

 Prettiest girl in he world snoozing

Kids getting ready to hunt eggs (again) at my MOPS group egghunt

 Fun with our neighbor friends

 They're off

 Dinner one Friday night. I think this was Cole's first high chair experience!

 Watching Carter play baseball

 Love my boy!

 Baseball game wore him out!

 She sees birds on he fence! So happy... She's obsessed!!

 Little gymnast.... she makes everything a gymnastics move!

She put these headbands around her chest and said she was exercising (I wear a heart rate monitor around my chest, so this cracked me up!)

 Again with the gymnastics

 Happy boy! Put him on he floor to roam and get into things, and he's in heaven!

 Carter had a friend over one day after school, and they parked it in the hallway looking at books for a good 30 minutes.

 Cole really wanted in on the action....

 Bathtime choke hold, ha!

Ella and I got some girl time in at the park one afternoon. Fun times with my girl! 

 Duck in the pool. Ella wanted in there bad, and was a little jealous of that duck swimming in our pool.

 Enjoying a day at the park!

 Believe me when I say that Cole has constant entertainment

 Cole did a lot of push ups, planks, and downward dog poses as he was learning to crawl. Still does it sometimes, and always makes me laugh!

 Dinner with grandma and grandpa

 Messy eater!

Carter had his birthday recognized at school assembly. He was up there next to a neighborhood buddy, and they thought they were just the coolest. :)

Ella turned the living room into a pillow pit

 He never gets tired of legos

 We played "drive thru" a lot one morning when I had taken the screens off to wash the windows.

Ok, this next series of pictures might be the cutest thing I've ever seen. Love that happy baby boy so much!

 I mean, I just can't!!!

 Dodgeball with Daddy one evening

 Sillies

 Cole thinks he's something else because he got his brother's toy off the fireplace

 Oh, Ella!

 Big girl with straight hair!

 She's funny :)

Ella enjoyed the butterfly exhibit at a local children's museum with a few little friends

 And so did Cole

 Unwinding after school with some TV in my bed.

 We had a great time at Carter's school carnival!

 Despite it having to be moved indoors.... so fun!

 Uh oh! Trouble!

 Swimming and playing in the tub.

 He loves to eat and feed himself now!

 He's finding all kinds of fun things down low to tinker with.

 Mmmmmm!

 And he loves to get in the way in the kitchen

 Awwww, snuggles!

 He got a hold of Ella's lipgloss, ha!

Ella took it upon herself to help fold laundry one day. I walked in and she had several things layed out and folded up. :)

Covered in sheet marks from head to toe.... that's a sing of a good nap!

 Carter loves to pick Cole up and help him get around like this.

 Cuties.

 Look who Cole found outside!

 Stormie loves that we have a very messy eater in the house again!

 :)

 The kids made up a fun game with the hoola hoops. We laughed and laughed watching them do this!

 She's ok!

 So many giggles!

 Show time. Take note of Ella's shoes. And Cole has started noticing the TV too.

Enjoying an early morning walk!

 Standing up so big! And Ella scaling something again.

 We had dinner at a hibachi place recently for Uncle Andrew's birthday.

 :)

 Love this happy boy when he wakes up!

 Making a mess of toys is fun! Look how big he looks!

 And getting stuck under the kitchen table. The underside of that table and chairs has sure seen a lot of the tops of my baby's heads!

 So happy, all the time.

 Big boy just helping himself!

 Seriously?! She's "shaving" her legs! Oh my word! Too big.

 Ella and a friend went to jump at a bounce house place, and Cole really enjoyed himself too!

 The place was basically empty, and Cole went all over and just had the best time. I'm sure he thought he was so big.

 So the kids love this Just Dance video game we have. They go crazy dancing to it. And Cole loves to watch. Both them, and the game on the TV. It's hilarious, and definitely entertainment for the entire family!

 He turned to face the kids, but was still torn on what/who to watch!

 :)

We have swim lessons and the last month of school coming up in May! Excited for summer with these 3!! Have lots of videos I'll be posting soon, too!
