So close!

Definitely have a mobile baby on my hands.  He scoots around like a pro and is SO SO SO close to crawling!!  It'll be soon!

Bernheim Forest

We just discovered this wonderful nature preserve with miles upon miles of hiking trails and things for the kids to do!  Beautiful day!

A typical car ride for me...

Evelyn loves to sing....LOUDLY.  She especially loves to sing in the car.  She'll make up songs if the radio isn't on and just belt it out.  I listen to these tunes EVERY...SINGLE...DAY...

Little Miss ATTITUDE!!!!

Oh my.... Scarlet's attitude.... I don't even really know what to say about it, but sometimes I can't help but laugh.  She does this new thing where she likes to tell you "I'm so mad!" and she makes an angry face.  However, she usually ends up in giggles.

This is her "mad" face.  She does it every time she wants to express her unhappiness with me

A tad sentimental...

Lorelai loves to leave us notes.  I find them all around the house!  She'll cheer you up if you're sick, apologize if she's been bad, or just leave a random note to say "I love you".  It's very cute.  I've even found post-its stuck to Joseph's crib.

I got this card after a particularly difficult night with Lorelai.  It came with instructions....I had to circle one of the faces on the left side to let her know if I was happy or sad...

There's a dinosaur show coming to town and I already told Lorelai we couldn't go due to a scheduling conflict.  So she's trying to tug on heartstrings to see if I'll change my mind I guess...

She likes to leave surprise notes on our beds

Baby giggles...

Baby giggles are the sweetest sound on Earth!

Splish Splash!

Joseph loves his bathtub.  He kicks and splashes the entire time.  He likes to hang out in the tub while I shower...

Our Easter!

A quiet Easter at home.  Church, egg hunt, and a prime rib dinner!  Perfect!  And the rainy, chilly weather didn't spoil it at all...

While Mom makes dinner the girls get to work painting the bird houses they got in their Easter baskets

Any bird would be lucky to live here!

Lorelai's was a little more meticulous with her birdhouse.  

Scarlet, calmly searching for eggs

Lorelai was a little more...what's the word....psychotic in her egg hunt.  Frantically screaming at every find and dashing here and there before thoroughly searching an area

Evelyn was somewhere in the middle of her two sisters.  But I didn't know until the end of the hunt that she did the entire thing with boots on the wrong feet!  Now that takes skill!

Lorelai was so frantic in her search I asked her to stop so I could take a picture.  She posed for 2 seconds and was off again!

The boys are waiting on their prime rib dinner!

Playing with their new bubble guns from their baskets

Easter Bunny and Easter Eggs...

We took the kids to see the Easter Bunny.  Scarlet did so much better than usual!  From afar she smiled, giggled, and 9gasp!) waved at the bunny!  Until she realized we wanted her to sit with him... she got real quiet and cautious.  It was a win to even get her in the picture because she wouldn't even get NEAR Santa.  She's definitely my shy child...

March wrap-up...

Leftover pictures from March...

Happy boy, jumping away!

Look familiar?  This is exactly how Lorelai liked to sleep when she was a baby.  She needed a blanket over her face.

Sweet girl....but probably planning her next move...

My little aviator

Lorelai is rarely without a book...but her choice of WHERE to read is questionable.  How is this comfortable?

I've mentioned before that Evelyn is going through a phase where she loves to have her picture taken.  She worked hard on this picture for Daddy, taped it up in his office, posed in front of it, and asked to have her picture taken!

I can finally get this girl's hair in a ponytail...lots of hairspray though

Lorelai now has weekly spelling tests and this is her first one.  100%!  That's my girl.  But I must point out... is this really kindergarten?!!  The word "shade"?  REALLY?!

Chilly evening at the horse arena

tuckered out...

Evelyn being silly in Walmart

Easter treat crafts

Trying out his new walker.  I think he loves it

The outfit is complete!!  So adorable!
