Lately

They are about as boy as you can get!  They are never inside anymore.  They dig in the dirt and haul things in the back of their gator.  They also take their tools outside all of the time because something always needs to be fixed! ha 

First soccer game of the season!  This guy was ready!  He played so well!  He was way more into it this year than last year! 

If you look closely you will see the extra member of the team in pink.  She played the whole game and once again had no clue she wasn't really on the team!  She takes her soccer very seriously! ha 

After our big game we went to Noah's house to play and eat dinner!  We even got to roast marshmallows for s'mores!  The kids were in heaven!  

Ava had marshmallows everywhere!  On her face, her clothes, and in her hair! ha 

How cute is our host?!

My baby! 

How scary is this pic?  Shea and I took five kids under three to the mall!  Ava wanted to help pull the wagon! Ava was a little too close for comfort to the glass case of porcelain figurines in the background!   

Thank goodness Ava doesn't take up much room in the cart!  We went to Sam's to stock up and she had to sit on top of some of the groceries! ha 

Our daddy turned 35!  He's getting on up there! Gigi made his favorite meal, fried chicken, and we celebrated with presents and cornflake candy! 

Ava likes daddy's birthday meal too! 

Knox loved helping with the presents! 

Happy Birthday Brandon and Joseph! 

We've had a little visitor in our bed lately.  He sneaks in, in the middle of the night so he can sleep with his mommy!  The first hour I think it's sweet after that I spend the rest of the night tossing and turning because this little guy hogs the bed and kicks me all night long!  I've got to put a stop to this asap! 

The Wizard of Woz!

Gigi took us all to see the Wizard of Oz at the Walton Art Center.  Brooksy loves Wizard of Woz, as he calls it.  My kids aren't scared of anything!  I'm even scared of the scary witch with the green face! ha They were so excited about their big night out!  

This is what it looks like when I try to get one picture of all three of them smiling! 

Love these sillys so much! 

The winning picture!

After our little photo shoot we went to Theo's to have dinner and drinks before the show!  Thankfully we were able to sit on the patio because the kids got a little wild!  They danced, watched a few movies, and played!  

I was shocked how well behaved they were at the show!  They sat still and watched the whole thing.  We went through several snacks to keep them occupied!  Thanks for taking us Gigi!  We can't wait to go see another show! 

Fishin!

The kids got fishing poles for Christmas and they couldn't wait to use them!  They talk about fishing all of the time even though they have never been! ha One Sunday after church we met our buddies for a little fishing! 

Ava was so excited! 

Fishing just isn't for boys!  Thank goodness Sarah is brave and touched the worms because fishing isn't exactly my thing! 

Brooksy was so excited too! 

Look at my big boy!

Love these three!

Selfie break!

Our daddy caught a fish! It was the most exciting thing ever! 

I love this picture! 

How cute is this?  They were all so excited about the big catch!

Everyone said goodbye to the fishy when we threw it back! 

Look at these little cuties chatting about the duck egg they found!  Knoxie loves eggs!

We had such a fun day!  Thanks for inviting us Sarah and Jess!  We can't wait to go fishing again! 

Lately

You better watch out!  This little guy means business! 

Tressa's engaged!  We all went out to celebrate!  

One day during spring break we met our friends at the drive through zoo! We got to see a kangaroo with a baby in it's tummy! 

Checking out the monkeys!  They are Knox's favorite! 

Giraffes!

Everyone got a turn helping me drive!  Thank goodness kids aren't allowed in the front seat!  It's stressful driving with lots of little hands on the dashboard! They all felt so big riding in the front though! 

My big boy driving!

Knox was so excited about using his wheelbarrow to help daddy with yard work!  He put his John Deere hat on for the occasion! 

Look at my boys working hard!  They love to help their daddy!

A wild Saturday night with our buddies eating pizza!

How cute are these kids?

Cuties!

Our attempt at a group picture! 

Knoxie loves baby Sawyer!  I think the feelings mutual! 

Lately

Nini came to visit us one day a few weeks ago! 

They love watching Ava do her thing at dance! 

I love that she is always ready to help her brothers!  I'm not sure how much help she actually is but at least she tries! 

Ava's closet is their club house.  They could spend hours in there!  I'm not sure what they do because they never let me in!
