All because two people fell in love...

We've had these black and white photos of each of the kids hanging in our kitchen for a little while now.  About a week ago we bought this sign that we thought would go perfectly with these photos and complete the wall.  I love this so much that it inspired me change the name of my blog!  I finally found a "name" for this blog that I'm actaully happy with.  Finally!!  ;)


The quality of the photo is not the greatest, but I think you get the idea. 

Not too much is going on in our house lately.  Both Steve and I have had terrible colds and are trying to recover from that.  The kids have been wild, like always.  They are so busy, it always amazes me how much energy they have.  They are completely and totally obsessed with Toy Story 2 and often pretend Ava is Jessie, Sienna is Woody and Elliott is Bullseye.  Its pretty cute!  Ava has been in love with horses for a couple of years now so I can see why she likes Jessie so much. 

Well better run and see what my little monkies are up to...

Fun at the Park

So, its been like forever since I last posted anything.  Its been pretty chaotic around here lately.  I don't know if its because of the nice weather or just because the kids are getting a little older and starting to play together more often(which leads to fighting of course) but I find my days are so filled lately.  I have been trying to keep the kids occupied with fun things to do but I'm starting to run out of ideas to keep them busy.  Some days we go to the park twice in one day just to get out!(we have a park right across the street from our house).  Today it was beautiful and sunny out so we went to the park first thing this morning.  The kids had a blast, as always.  And I brough the camera along since I don't remember the last time I brought the camera out a took pictures!  Here are a few.  They didn't turn out so well.  I am still trying to figure out this camera....

My sweet Ava.  She is very sensitive to the light.  So it was hard to get a good photo of her.


Ava climbing.  Can't believe how tall she is getting!

Sienna 
Its funny how when you tell a child to smile and say cheese.  This is the face they always make
(this is how all 3 of my kids look when they say "cheese")

 Sienna likes to climb, too!

Elliott, my little man.
We got his hair cut again since its growing so fast.  
We call this the "Daddy-Do" since he looks just like Daddy with his hair like this.

He loves playing with the rocks, such a boy!

My 3 little monkies!  Love them so much!!


We had so much fun with the "Easter Bunny" visitng our house.  That stinky little rabbit "pooped" chocolate eggs all over our living room (this is the story Steve tells the kids, typical Steve, right!?)  We actually had to wake the girls up because Elliott was up first getting all the eggs!  I thought that if I open the girls bedroom door after I took Elliott out of his crib and started throwing eggs into his bucket that Ava and Sienna would wake up.  Not so, We had to wake them up.  I leaned over Ava's bed and whispered "Ava the Easter Bunny came" instantly she jumped out of bed and started collecting eggs, too funny!  Sienna actually woke up with a fever.  So she wasn't really into the egg hunt at first.  After a few minutes on the couch of rest and really giving her a chance to completely wake up, she was good to go and had fun collecting as many eggs she could!  We had fun.  With every holiday that comes, it gets more fun as the kids grow and truely understand whats happening.  I think I get more excited than they do!  Heres some photos of what the Easter Bunnt left...

A bucket for each one of my babies

These eggs were EVERYWHERE!  
It was so fun to watch them run around!

And lastly, On Saint Patrick's Day I made some cake balls for Steve to take to work.  They were fun to make.  Very green!  Green on the outside and on the inside.  I'm pretty sure everybody enjoyed them!


Well I'm off.  Hopefully my next post won't take so long for me to get to....
