Lately

"Mom, take my picture"  She was a super reading super hero! 

I found this empty peanut butter jar in the playroom.  I'm pretty sure it was full the day before.  Yikes!  I hope all three of them helped eat it and not just Knox! 

The Sass!

Testing out the stroller to make sure two of them could fit in it for Silver Dollar City! 

The First School Talent Show.  Probably the cutest thing I have ever seen.  It's always a little bit stressful because they refuse to practice anything before the show.  It's always a game time decision! This year they would not decide so at the last minute I brought their bikes so they could ride those as their talent... 
This was the group performance to start the show off!  They did a song and dance and it was really cute! 


Ava was up first and she was so excited to ride her new bike around.  


She just kept circling!  I had to pull her off the stage! 

Knox was not happy about riding his bike.  I think he wanted his big bike and I just brought the balance bike... Mom Fail! 

Brooks rode his bike too but for some reason I don't have a picture!  The kids decided they wanted to dance too.  Their teach downloaded the Kidz Bop version of Uptown Funk for them and they got on stage and performed.  

It was the seriously so cute.  Ava and Knox just kind of hopped around but Brooks broke it down.  He took his dance moves so seriously.  He kept a straight face but danced his little heart out!  I love that kid!  I wish I could post the video! 


Easter morning egg hunt.  I think Brooks was still trying to wake up! 

My four year olds the morning of their birthday!  Brooks was not a happy camper.  I put a candle in his donut and he thought that was his birthday cake!  He said, "I told you I wanted a Spider-Man cake!" ha 

I still can't believe these babies are four!  I swear I had them last week! 

Make a Wish!

Lately

Our daddy shot two turkeys this spring!  He was so excited and the kids were too! He claimed it was delicious but I will just have to take his word for it!  I couldn't try it after I saw the actual bird! 

Skate party!  This guy is a skating machine!  He loves it!  Knox won't even try.  Knox doesn't like to do things unless he knows he is going to be good at it and skating is not his thing! ha 

The party even had a photo booth and the kids loved it! 

Brace face! 


Mr Mustachio!

We went to Nini's one afternoon and Ava picked a snake up on Nini's patio! I think she picked it up because the boys wouldn't touch it so she wanted to show them how brave she was! ha 

Too cool for Sunday School! ha 

There are my sweet babies!

They have had so much fun playing with their birthday gifts!  They love their four-wheelers from Gigi! 

The neon sidewalk chalk paint was a hit too!

He got his robot!  That's all he wanted for his birthday! 


The kids had even more presents at our house! 


Someone liked their new clip on earrings and kitty surprise!  Her kitty had four kittens inside! ha 
This was the best we could do for her birthday.  She said what she really wanted was a puppy and a baby sister... Maybe next year A! ha 


Happy Birthday to you!

The next day the kids had their 4 year check ups!  They all passed with flying colors!  They had to get four shots so that was a little rough!

My Babies are 4!

And just like that my babies are four.  
She woke up on the couch in her room a big four year old!  She sleeps on the couch because she says all teenagers sleep on couches.  We still have no clue where she got that from! 


I brought birthday cookies to the kids school to celebrate!  They got special stickers and birthday crowns!  They were so excited about their big day! 


Happy birthday to you! 


After school we met our friends at Chuck E Cheese to celebrate again!
