Lots of pictures taken in the month of March! Here is what we have been up to!
Cuties watching a show together. Cole is just now where he will sit down (only for 5 mins or so) and watch something on the TV.
Thought they were cute lagging behind together on our walk home from school
Cuties at snack time
Love their expressions!
My little reader!
Blue hair for rock star day at school!
Cole helped himself to Ella's yogurt tub and his squeezie right out of the trash one day.... just as I was trying to get everyone ready to head out the door! What a mess!!
Passed out!
Telling secrets in the car on the way home from school :)
We met friends for BBQ one night, and Cole had his first rib. Shocker here.... he loved it! (What doesn't he love?)
They come up will all sorts of crazy things to play in the backyard when they pull everything out of the garage. I cracked up at the goggles!!
We love our trips to Braum's!
We went to Michae's with neighbors for a craft class one rainy spring break day.
The big kids had a great time! I had to work pretty hard to keep Cole from tearing this classroom apart. All that newspaper covering the tables? Yeah, it was all over the floor!
A movie & popcorn one rainy afternoon!
Watching the storm
Another rainy spring break day, another indoor play date at the bounce house place with friends!
Carter in green
The girls loved the climbing wall
Between showers, we managed to squeeze in some side walk chalk time out front.
Video games is a family affair :)
Evening snuggles before bedtime!
More indoor jump time with friends on spring break.
The babies were fun to watch!
And we bowled one day too! Hoping for nicer weather next spring break!!
Games at Main Event
Serious stuff.
Raiding the prize room!
Ella threw an epic fit in the car on the way home and lost her chance to pick out a treat at Target with the boys. Don't I look thrilled to be stuck in the car with her while the boys shop?
HAHA! But she did not think it was funny.
Classy kid
We've been encouraging Ella to wash herself at bath time. The hair is the most challenging, but she's getting there!
Sweet little bubba
He loves bananas!
Playing restaurant at the bar outside
Nice weather = ball time out back
And lots of trips to the park!
This mound of new kiddie mulch sat in the parking lot for a week or so before they dispersed in onto the playground. The kids enjoyed playing on it!!
Carter and Cole played 'fetch' one night together for a good 45 mins. Carter was Cole's doggy, and Cole threw him the ball over and over again. It was cute to watch. They're sweet brothers!
Ella and neighbor girlies at a birthday party! Pretty girls!
I've decided it's just more funny to take a picture when my kids throw fits these days! Gotta laugh!
Oh that little cutie!!
Proud of himself for climbing up on the furniture.
Cole loves to pretend play cooking and eat. Here he is 'drinking' something.
So cute to just watch him tinker in front of the table or play kitchen.
Carter loves basketball lately! We got a goal from neighbors that were moving, and it has been a great addition to the back yard! He will shoot out there for an hour!
And he's a descent shot!
Walking down to soccer practice on night. Such a gorgeous little soccer player!
Went to dinner after soccer practice, and Cole got silly over his dessert!
He's pretty good at the stairs now. I trust him to go up and down slowly. Baby gates may come down for good in the next 6 months or so!
Fun in these glasses
Adorable!
putting them on Mommy is fun too!
:)
Showing off his newest stripe!
Tired, cuddly little guy
Carter let me do a feaux hawk out of pony tails in his hair, but he did NOT want photographic evidence! Hence the mad face!
Ella got one too.
And Cole.... well, I tried. HA!
Silly fun!
Cole helping himself to the last of our grapes one afternoon. Leave anything like this in his reach, and count on it being gone!!
Chill time!
We got this giant ball from a birthday party, and it's Cole's favorite thing right now!
I think we need a few more balls out back. ;)
Cole is a lot more interested in playing with cars now. He loves to drive them all over!
Love that big grin!
HA! He was sitting on the endge, and fell in the toy basket and couldn't get out!
Mad! At me for taking pics and not helping him!
Mid-March, and we're still warming our toes by the fire some mornings!
Ella is still going to the gym twice a week, but she's been begging to try dance......
Check out that 1st position!
Those feet!! and those toes on pointe! And I'm jealous of her muscular legs and calves!!
Sweet Stormie dog! He loves to knock on the window near her...
Pestering big bro while he plays his tablet game...
Killing time at his favorite park while Carter has soccer practice
Sliding together
Hanging in the back yard after gymnastics one day. She's just so pretty!! Without even trying. :)
After school, you'd think I hadn't fed any of them all day!! What is it about 3pm that makes them famished?!
Caught you!!
All dressed up for her egg hunt at school! Looking super cute!
My boys!
While the boys watched basketball in the living room, we snuggled in bed and drew pictures (baby Jesus in the manger here)....
and then took a bunch of silly pictures
Love her!
Cuties!
This would be Cole's first time out.... for hitting!
Yep. Had to hold him there... for 1 minutes. He was broken hearted and so mad at me. HA!
Just love this view of them all having fun out there on a pretty day!
Cole flipping over his favorite ball, ha! :)
I let Ella get in my wedding dress one afternoon, just for fun. Snapped these pictures... and I love them!!!
Duplicated one of my bridal portraits below ......
Eating pizza like a big boy!
I love that she still naps for me!! Sometimes I have to wake her up to be places, but she looks so peaceful, so have to watcher her for a minute, and snap a pic!
Carter an Ella had dental appointments, and Cole was really interested in what was going on.
He has a fascination with balloons right now.....
Cutie looking so big!
That's my whole world out there bouncing around!
Post-trampoline jump session and pre-bath time snack. All the begging for more grapes had me cracking up.
Heart eyes for these boys!!!! <3 br="">
Throw sister in the mix.... good looking bunch!
showing off her drawing
sharing her yogurt with Cole one morning. So sweet
Working on that spoon! Messy but getting better!
I'm just noticing that so many of my pictures revolve around food! HA! I guess that's just where we are in life right now.
Cole was not thrilled to be sharing his apple slices with sis.
snack break and all smiles!
love him!
and her too! (and the other one that's not here...)
:)
I love that you can just see in their faces how much they adore one another!
that's excitement.... to have his own Capri Sun!
Glow balloons in the media room! So fun!
Eric and I had a fun stay-cation in Dallas with friends the first weekend of April. Out to dinner one night at a fun place in downtown!

Swim birthday party at a school friends house! Carter is on the raft :)
Love my happy girl! (and look how long her legs look!! what did that happen?)
Feeding Stormie!
Cole vs. Nutella
The mess was worth the clean up just for these adorable pics!!
That face!!
And he kept trying to wear the bowl as a hat... to make it even messier!
Success!
<3 br="">
Proof he loves veggies!! This is some of my lunch I had to share with him.... fresh sauteed green beans! One of his favs!
Cheese!
Just being silly boy!
Toddler life
Borrowing big sis' fedora.
Bedtime needs a hat!
Cute and clean babies!
Carter is so sweet to read the books Ella picks out to her. She loves it.
I just sit back and they forget I'm there, and then they giggle and giggle over the silliest things. Sweet moments!!
So that was all of March and some of April, just to catch me up! Doesn't take much for me to fall behind these days, but it's important to me to keep it up! More updates in the works and coming soon!
