Easter:
We had a great low key Easter. We woke up and had a fun Easter egg hunt at home. It is was quite chilly, so we were only in our dressy clothes for about 30 minutes (glad I bought the kids new outfits :( ) We then backed our lunches and headed to the zoo for the day. The sun came out and we really enjoyed our day as a family.
(I think she was crying because of this ridiculous outfit I put on her)
Finely:
Finley is a sweet sweet baby. She is now 3 1/2 months old and is quite the giggler. She is sleeping in her crib at night and when we are home during the day. She still hates her car seat, but some toys in her seat have helped a little bit. She likes to eat every three hours during the day and does not like that altered one bit. She is still waking up once most nights, but goes quickly back to sleep. She scoots all around her play mat and hates tummy time. She is getting a little more hair and it is lightening up. She is currently in 3 month clothes and she seems very long to me.
Bryton:
Bryton, Bryton, Bryton! He is our little maniac. We are trying to work on positive reinforcement and it is ......challenging :( He is absolutely adorable, super funny, and all boy. He runs around the backyard with sticks as swords, he throws everything he can get his hands on, loves balls, running, still loves crackers and cookies (does not eat much else), loves getting rides on our backs, and loves hitting. His absolute favorite new thing is to skip. It is so funny - he puts his arm out and just skips all around. He is trying to talk a lot more and says new words every day.
This was Bryton for 10 seconds on the merry go round.
He had to have daddy with him :)
Oh the places he will sleep .
Yay! He fell asleep in his bed!
I came home from work one day and this is how Bryton came out of his room from his nap :)
Someone was busy at bedtime...he was so quiet we thought he was asleep.
He loves to swim.
Annabel:
Annabel turned 4!! I cannot believe my biggest baby is 4. Time flies! Austin and I had prepped her the morning of her appointment that she would be getting shots, they would hurt, and she would probably cry. I told her that after she was a tough cookie, we would go out for milkshakes afterwards. She did amazing! It was very sad for me to watch and I just held her tight, while they gave her the shots. She cried for a bit during them and then at the end of the day she was hurting. I took her to get her first milkshake afterwards and she even saved some in her cup for her daddy. She really is so sweet and such a delight to be around. She got a new bike for her birthday and she rides all around. She has become good friends with the kids that live on our street and she is always playing with them, when they are not in school. They were all in our basement and backyard over the weekend and Austin and I looked at each other and said...this is why we moved here :) It is what we have always talked about wanting for our kids. Yesterday, she finished up her spring soccer season. It is not her strong suit right now, but I am not giving up! Her favorite thing right now is swimming. She loves it! we cannot wait for the pool to open in a few weeks.
How can this be????
Annabel went swimming with some friends to celebrate her big day.

Last soccer game of the spring season...played so tough, she lost both hair bands. (not so much!)
Austin is busy rounding out the school year and is doing a fantastic job. I am very proud of him and of his hard work. He cares so much for his school and I am very glad our kids will be going there. Off the field he is working hard on our landscaping. We did not move in until July last year, so we did not do much on the house. It was struggling and he is doing a great job. I am busy with the kids and real estate and trying to enjoy every minute.
