Easter goodies

It's no secret that I love to bake and cook with my boys! I am thrilled that they seem to enjoy is just as much as I do, although I think they like the messy, creating part the best, whereas I like the finished product! Here is what we have been up to the past few days.

Oh, we dyed eggs today, but I didn't take pictures of that, but they turned out great! We'll be making some easter basket cupcakes this weekend---can't wait!

Jonathan isn't into cooking just yet! He's working on eating by himself!! He's such a big boy! Way to go with that spoon, Finn!!

Tanks + boys= a GREAT morning

We spent a great morning climbing on tanks and having fun! Our boys are such monkeys! They had fun "driving" the tanks and running all around them. Jonathan wanted so desperately to climb like his big brothers! In a year or so, he'll be right there with them!

Before...

a mama with long, brown hair, stuck in a frumpy mode

After: shoulder-length hair with blonde highlights!!

Jonathan's 1st haircut

Jonathan's long, curly locks are no more! Our littlest one now looks like a little boy!! So stinkin' cute!!

Jonathan's long, curly hair! Beautiful!

Jonathan was not a big fan of the scissors at first!!

He settled down just a bit by the end of the haircut.

All done! Looking good, Jonathan!

Time to Exercise!

I tried to teach our boys how to do jumping jacks yesterday!! Check out the video! It's so cute! Way to go, boys!!

February Snow!

Our boys love the snow!! (what kid doesn't??) We spent some time in the falling snow earlier this week and loved it! The snowflakes were big and fluffy and so pretty! Not that the boys cared about the beauty of the flakes---they were thrilled to be outside playing in the snow!

My boys!

I love my boys unconditionally! They are sweet, funny, playful, crazy at times, thoughtful, loving, and so much more! Here are some of my favorite pictures from the last few weeks!

Jonathan's messy yogurt face!! He loves feeding himself!

Reading with Daddy before bed is great!

Brush 'em! Brush 'em! Brush 'em!

Jonathan's silly mohawk hair!

Jackson is so proud of the Lego bulldozer he built!

All three boys love watching Daddy play games on his phone.

Jonathan loves his toothbrush!

All snuggled up to watch cartoons!

Not much!

So, my husband keeps checking our blog and has been looking for updates, but there haven't been any, because I'm not sure what to say! We're still here, doing the same thing, trusting God to lead us with the big stuff, and the little stuff, and the stuff in between! :) Our boys are fantastic!! I'm as stressed and anxious as ever! My husband is as grounded and sweet as ever, totally balances me and I really appreciate that about him!

So, my brother's wedding is coming up in just a few short months---crazy! Which means I have just a few short months to get back into a black dress that I absolutely love!! Not sure it's going to happen, not sure it CAN happen after three kids, but I'm going to try! Check back for updates on my get-back-in-shape progress!! It will be good for me to have some accountability! :)

See, told you, not much! :)

Everybody gets a turn!

At our house when someone does something or tries something new, everyone has to try it also! (Although it doesn't work for vegetables!!) When AW was painting the hallway upstairs, each of the boys had to have a turn painting with Daddy! I am blessed to have a husband with the patience of a saint! Great job painting, boys!! Looks great!
