Getting Nana's Pool Ready

Beau is getting very excited for summer because that means he gets to swim! He was very eager to check out Nana's pool the other day when they had drained the water. Countdown is on until it's time to swim!!

Neighbors

Beau absolutely loves it that we have neighbors with kids for him to play with. He is always inviting Blythe over to jump on his trampoline or swing with him. Last night, he wanted to go swing with Blythe and Baine. Look at those cheesy smiles :)

Field Trip at Jodee's

We are beyond blessed to have such an amazing daycare provider. Jodee is always taking the kids on field trips to the library, out to lunch, to Pella to the wooden park, to the Fun Factory, on nature walks, etc. On Friday's they have Friday Fun Day where they go on a big field trip. Last Friday she took the kids to Lake Red Rock to do a nature hike, and then climb to the tower that overlooks the lake. I couldn't believe that Baine walked that whole way, but he made it! 

Piper 11 Weeks

I cannot believe Piper is almost 3 months old. She is constantly changing and doing something new everyday. She is giggling and smiling all of the time now and eating like a champ! She is up to 6-7 oz at every feeding---I can barely keep up with her!



Weekend With Mommy

Last weekend we were supposed to go to Kansas City to see Garth Brooks in concert. Normally, I would be all about getting away for the weekend and having fun, adult time. Things have certainly changed for me. I am loving being with the kids so much right now, it was literally making me sick to my stomach to leave the kids, especially Piper. I decided not to go and to stay home with the kids. It turned out perfect. Joe took Houston in my spot, and I am sure they all had a great time. And I stayed back, went to Tulip Time, planted flowers, caught up on laundry and housework, played with the boys at my dads, and even went to Target with Piper :) Even getting all three ready for church Sunday was a breeze. Maybe they all knew mommy needed them to behave and be patient :).


The boys and I decided to order in Chinese for mommy/son date night. Ok lets be honest, I was too lazy to cook anything and did not want to go out and get any food :)


Once they all got home from Kansas City, we played outside all day and went to feed the ducks with Regan and Tara. All around, it was the perfect weekend with beautiful weather---finally!



The weekend really wore him out :)
