Playing at the Park

It has been pretty rainy the last few days...um weeks...months?? around these parts so when it was nice and sunny on Saturday I decided it would be a nice day to head out to the park just around the corner. Sometimes the idea of heading out with just me and the three kiddos is enough to make me ready for a nap but I'm really trying to get out and do more stuff and especially free things! It only took us 15 minutes to be all dressed and ready to go (miracle!!)We took the long way to get there so I got a bit of a workout pushing the stroller with the boys in to and Evie in the moby wrap but once we got to the park everyone had lots of fun! I even got some cute pictures with my phone! Now if only we could get a sunny day and Brad's day off to match up...

Calvin is 2!!!

so cute snuggling with daddy after a bath

Calvin is two!!! It seems crazy that my sweet little boy is two....that is until I remember that he is a big brother so he better be two...haha

On his birthday our poor boy wasn't feeling so good. We ended up getting up and heading off to the doctor office to find out that he had bronchitics and an ear infection(his first ever) but he was still just as happy as could be.

here are all of our Veggie tales cake pops ready to be eaten all up

A few months ago Calvin came up to me and asked for a veggie tales cake and I told him for his birthday and from then on he reminded me every day about his veggie tales cake. I decided to make two of his favorites from the show, Larry and Bob, and Calvin was so excited! We had a party at home for him and we were happy every one that made it was able to come (even risking getting sick and all!)

Calvin is such a sweet little boy! He loves to follow Sam around and they play really well together. He is a very smart little boy! He is learning his ABC's and counting and I can hear the two boys singing together after bed time. He talks very well (in fact he already is beyond the 3 year old expectations in the "books") and my favorite things are when he comes down saying he loves us or wants some loves! He is very sweet with his baby sister and loves to make her giggle! I love you my sweet little snuggle bug! Happy birthday!!!

Evalynn's Four Months Old

Yes I know that I haven't posted about Christmas yet but I will... Evie turned 4 months old on the 5th of January so I thought that I would put up her monthly photos to show how she is growing. She is such a happy little girl! Evie has started to really use her voice and her favorite time of day to chat is right after the boys are put to bed. It's almost like she wants to fill in Brad and I about how crazy they were all day! She loves to watch and laugh at Sam and Calvin and they are pretty quick to entertain her! We have added more formula to her diet and it seems to be working as she is starting to get a bit of chubbs on her, but she is still pretty little. She has started to wear some of her 3 month clothes but as you can see from her 4 month photo they tend to be a bit baggy still. Evie started rolling over from her tummy onto her back and she has also started to try to hold and grab her toys and loves to pull her blankie up over her face just like Sam did at her age. She will pull her blanket up over her face when she is sleeping and if we try to take it off she gets pretty mad at us. At least it is a crochet one so there is lots of air space but it is still a little scary to me. She sleeps for a good 6-7 hours a night and then wakes up to eat and sleeps for a few more hours so I'm starting to get some good rest also! I can't believe that she is already 4 months but at the same time it feels like she has always been here. We all love our little lady!!!
