Weekend

This weekend was one to remember. The weather was perfect and we were in much need of some family time. We started Saturday with yard work and small projects around the house. Including multiple loads of laundry (how do these little people dirty so many clothes???). 

We then went downtown to a fun little crepe place for lunch followed by an afternoon at Loose park. They had a swing set, many slides and more. We then walked around the park until we found a wonderful spot in the shade where the kids could run, "hide" behind trees, eat a snack on the blanket, and more. The big kids were excited to take off their shoes and be barefoot in the grass. 

 Her form is perfect!

All this running resulted in all 3 kids taking a nap on the drive home!

 Emerson's face here! She is such a ham!!!

Sunday we started the morning at the Trolley Run with my dad. My mom brought the kids and they all waited for us at the finish line! We followed that with breakfast at Beer Kitchen then home for more laundry (seriously...), more yard work, a couple of errands, and a short nap by most of us. Tomorrow we are back to the grind of life, but we are feeling refreshed after a wonderful, full weekend.

Random

My 3 sweet kids. I just love them so much. And I know I am biased but I think someone should sign them up with some modeling contracts pronto!

Baby girl was able to join us on her bike for outside time. Also her first time wearing shoes.

Jason and I were able to slip away for a night and go to the Royals game. We ate cheese fries and they won so it was a successful and fun night!

This boy is so goofy and everytime I pull out the camera this is the face he makes...

Gavin had parent day at school and wanted to show Jason around. He was so proud to show off his art work and his normal routine of the day.

 I was fortunate enough to go on a fieldtrip with Reegan. Coterie theater "Where the Wild Things are", lunch and Kaleidoscope. Reegan and her besties.

 The entire class.

 Working hard making puzzles

 Gavin asked if he could go play outside by himself while the baby slept. I can't believe how big that boy is getting. I watched from inside while I cleaned the house.

 These 2 have so much fun together, most of the time, and while they drive each other crazy they love to be near each other.

Spring has arrived and I am so excited for the school year to be over. We are ready for even more outdoor time and lots of fun with no set daily schedule!!!

tubes

Last Friday (on Emerson's 13month "birthday") we went to the hospital day surgery center and had tubes put in her ear. Since halloween she has had 5 ear infections and been on countless antibiotics. It was time. Even though we had been down this road twice with Reegan it didn't make it any easier this go around. Emerson did great and was a champ.

 The little gown was so cute!

 We were at the hospital for less than 2 hours, everything went well and she even fell asleep on the ride home and continued to sleep for 2 more hours. Once she woke up she was back to her sweet self.
