looking back...

we've had plenty of this!

 yes, i came home to this!  and yes i was laughing.  not sure what was funnier... stew doing yoga or the fact that he had been drinking wine while doing the yoga.

attending his 2nd shower!  this child attended 3 baby showers in his first month of life.

asher loves his baby noah (this baby noah, also known as a cabbage patch doll, was once, baby ryder and baby asher.  my mom bought it for isaac to get him ready for a new baby... ryder.  we've used it each time over the past few years.)

praise the Lord for my mom!  she has always had a way with our newborns.

2 months

You are a smiler! You grin ear to ear when I talk in my high pitch voice and smile at you. I can't get enough. You still have bad gas and I can't figure what else to do. You continue to let your brothers love on you with their endless holdings, kisses and sometimes licks. The brothers are still super proud if you and often declare, "this is our baby Noah!" I love how much they love you. I often let them hold you even when you're screaming and crying. I think they like to be the ones to comfort you. You sit through story/song/prayer time at night. You're one of the crew now. We have ventured to legoland, the park and even church with you. You are proving to have a go with the flow personality at this stage(minus all the crying from gas). I can't remember life without you and I am so glad you're in this family.

itried to get a good photo of the brothers for the 2 month mark.  this is what i got...

proving we'll never be that family that looks like we've got it all together.  

here's to boys and keeping me humble!

easter

easter was full...

with egg dying...twice!  thank you grandma chris!

an easter egg hunt with some friends...

have you seen a better looking bunny tail;)

isaac's sweet friend, terje even made it to the hunt. 

hunting for new treasures from auntie bonnie...

easter morning...

the typical family picture...

hunting for treasures from gaga and papa...

and before any familymember panics, the real reason we celebrate easter was communicated.  the good news is our kids know Jesus died and rose again!  the not so good news is that they keep telling other children that the easter bunny isn't real.  on friday morning ryder actually woke up and said, "today Jesus died."  i decided to ask him to maybe tone that down a bit at the easter egg hunt.

st. patricks day

we sent the boys on a treasure with clues.  

it ended with a new game...Zingo!  truth be told, my parents gave it to them fir Christmas but we put it away for a rainy day.  our kids love this game!  perfect for their age!
