July so far

 We were able to have both are families here for the fourth of July week (except Addi, Ness, and Chevelle :(  ), it was so fun and tiring! We celebrated Jay's bday w/ everyone. He loves that! So here a few pictures!

He is 3!

He was happier than he looks

PRESENTS!

Most of the group

Kylie loved our kitties

My family loved loving on baby Austin!

 We took the kids to the Splash Park one day and they really enjoyed it!

Loving getting wet

Past Week

Uncle Justin and Chevelle

 We had a fun past week because we finally got to meet lil' Chevelle! She is such a beauty and so sweet! Addi and Nessa are such great parents too! I even got up w/ her in the middle of the night (once~it is hard to go back to that schedule!) and she was still so sweet! :o)

Jay really liked her

The wee ones and Nessa

 And of course, we celebrated Easter! A beautiful day to celebrate Jesus' resurrection!

The kids had an egg hunt

Cousin Lisa came over for dinner and helped hide the eggs

 He found one!

 No one wants to just smile!

except this good lookin' man!

And now they will pose nicely in front of our unmade bed!

Wow- it has been a long time since I have posted anything! We have been enjoying the spring-like weather here. F and I cleaned out flower beds today and we saw lots of little buds on trees and poking out of the soil. And I am so glad the woman that lived here before enjoyed landscaping and such...she planted quite a few perennials and I have 2 or 3 peonies...my favorite flower! M has been busy w/ school and now softball! She is so excited and next week F starts t-ball.  J is just busy-busy and entering the terrible 2 and a halfs! He was the sweetest and easiest baby of the 3 but the stinkeriest as a 2 year old of the 3! Or maybe I just have been too easy on him since he still feels like my baby. :o(

Justin became a deacon at our church and since the basement flooded a couple weeks ago he has been busy w/ meetings regarding the repairs for that. And I am the librarian for our church and I need some good suggestions for books! Please let me know if there are any you would recommend!


Anyway, here is a slew of pictures and in no particular order!

I see you!

You can see why I still think of him as my little baby, right?

On our way to Lustre...his little toes were so cute peeking over the seat

They love bubble baths in this deep tub!

Cousins

M in her softball stuff...she slept in it the first night she got it...this is in the morning

F got the camera!

Some Pictures

 Mini Christmas Tree

Painting some ornaments

Opening presents w/ Grandparents

Smalls checking what's happening outside

He got some cars

They had a lot of fun sledding on the hill behind our house

This is an adorable picture-J has a HUGE smile on his face. Both he & Tyler loved sledding

Wheee!!!

What's happening...

We had a great Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's. I love having M home from school and it was fun to hear the kids' thoughts on all the festivities. They do add an extra special element to everything!
F kept telling me it was the "best Christmas ever!" And M told me what she loved best about Christmas was "being w/ family". So sweet...

The Skillmans were able to come down for Christmas week and we had a wonderful time w/ them...lots of food, playing and sledding! And then the weekend after we headed to Billings for a few days! 


And I can't seem to upload pictures right now so I will attempt that later!
