Two front teeth

Within the last two months, Emma lost her two front teeth. I shared with her that I lost my tooth front teeth when I was in first grade also. She thought that was pretty neat. She is getting use to eating without them, especially apples.

Cow Ride


One of the kids favorite animal to ride on at the farm are the cow statues. Here is a picture of the 3 two- year old (John soon to be in June) enjoying their ride on the cow.. Karley, John and Lincoln.

WET Sand....

After ALL that rain that we got last night and today, Karley was having a great time playing in the WET sand. By the time she was done playing she had sand from head to toe! Here she is pulling herself up to get down into the really WET and MUDDY stuff!
Sloppy WET muddy sand

Here is what she looked like before she got it ALL over her face!!

After playing in that WET sand, Karley decided she was thirsty and found some rain water on top of the table and decided to take a couple of SLURPS!!




Hula -Hooping

The Easter bunny brought a little gift for each of the kids: Connor got a new kick ball and Karley got a BIG ball the play with. Emma and Josie each got a hula- hoop. Emma has it down and Josie is getting better every day. She is starting to get her hips more into it!!





Easter Morning...finding baskets!

The kids had a great time but a challenging time finding their baskets! Connor found his in his baseball bag, Emma's was in her closet by her shoes and dresses, Josie's was by the dress up clothes and Karley's was by a basket of books.




The day of the Big Race.... And they are off!!

The kids love to have races around the house to see who is the fasted. So on this day Connor made a start and finish line so everyone knew where to cross. The first race was to run around the house three times. The other races consisted of running around the house for how old you were. Connor and Emma did a great job, Josie decided to run half of it but Karley was a trooper; she did complete her two laps!! They had medals ready for all the finishers!!





As Connor and Emma round the house twice Karley was just finishing her first round. I just missed her rounding the corner!

Putting Dishes Away

Karley loves to play in the sliver ware drawer. She even helps put the sliver ware away after they are dried. She knows were all the pieces go. She is becoming a good helper!


Bedtime stories...

This is the usually night time routine of reading stories. Mom is the one who usually reads the stories. Dad likes to lay down and read stories so it's not always the same. They all have their spots to sit and what side of the lap the girls get to sit on. I am not sure where the new baby will get to sit!!!

Little Teachers

Here is Emma teaching Josie how to write her numbers. After a couple of times of telling her to what to do ( using the same little jingle that she was taught in kindergarten) Josie successfully wrote the #5 without making it look more a like a two. She was sooo proud of herself. All the kids love playing school with each other and helping each other learn.

Cinderella, Cinderella..

Here is our little Cinderella cleaning away on the floors of the bathroom!! (Really she wanted to scrub the floors on her own and did a fine job!)

Ballet Lessons

The girls had a great time with Brielle showing off their ballet moves. Emma and Josie were the teachers with Karley and Brielle being the students. Here are a couple of their moves!


Birthday Celebrations!!

With having birthday's almost every week in February and March we decided to celebrate with one party. Karely (2) Brielle (3) and Lincoln (2). We went with the Princess and the Frog theme! They all loved their cakes! The second picture has all three of them in front of their cakes! We had a great time with good food and great family!
