Tommy is CRUISING!!!!

He prefers to walk more then crawl and is getting around faster than ever.

I think that he is loving that he is able to keep up with his siblings now.

Today we headed over and rode the four wheelers around.

It was Abe's first time driving one by himself and he did a great job and was laughing and smiling the WHOLE ENTIRE time!

Halle also had a blast and Noah got to ride the big four wheeler with dad.

I sure love these days in our life.

Simple yet so perfect!

Halle told everyone in her class that we were finding out what we were having today.. so they voted!!!!

I then had to tell her teacher after this was emailed to me that we are not finding out until June 9th!!! The kids will have a wait a little bit...

These simple moments in my life is what I LOVE.  I love these four people with all that i am.  I never knew that I had the capacity to love this much, but they are worth it all.  They make me want to be better and try harder everyday.

Thank you, you four beautiful little people, for coming in to my life and calling me MOM!

I love you all so much.

Dress up time this morning.  Noah decided to be a tiger and then went face to face with Abel.  It all ended in tears which is pretty normal! But at least got a good picture from it!

And though Noah steals my heart most days... He is not the best at picking up after himself.  I had to document the fact that he ACTUALLY picked up the pillows that he threw on the ground.  He was also proud of himself and sat by them and said CHEESE!

Thomas Arthur...  quit growing please!!!! I just want you to be this little forever.  You are such a sweet baby.  Just stay this little please please please!

And Noah is loving play doh lately.  He will sit at the table for at least a hour and play.  So fun to watch him learn new things and enjoy new things!

And being goofy after naps...

Just this face... remember this face FOREVER!!! 

Abe cuddling up with Tommy for his bottle.. just rubbing his belly and singing songs!

And today was a PERFECT day to fly a kite.  So these boys did just that!  Love that our park behind the house has a huge field that we can do this kind of stuff in.  Abe and Noah had a blast flying our big kite today!

And Noah has mastered this at the park!  Way to go buddy!

Welcome home Halle!!! So love when she comes home from school.  I really miss her during the school day.  She really does just add so much to our family.  Looking forward to summer break with her being home all day again!

Noah.. I mean the Hulk goes and gets donuts this morning!

Tommy went on his first bike ride today.  He was not a huge fan so hoping that he will continue to like them as we continue to take them.

And today was beautiful outside!!! We met our cousins at the park, had a picnic lunch and played!! It was perfect! 

And then this afternoon after naps we enjoyed the weather at our house!!! 

It really was a perfect Saturday!!!

Tommy just finishing up his bottle in his arrangement of pillows! 

And our date night in tonight.  A comfy couch, our favorite ice cream, and some Netflix!!! I sure love this husband of mine and I love spending uninterrupted time with him.  We may not be able to get out of the house and date, but we make sure to make our relationship a priority each and everyday!

Our neighborhood is building lots of new houses and so we have these fun big machines going around our neighborhood ALL THE TIME!!! The boys just love them and today on their walk they stopped by and wanted to take pictures by them!

You really do have my heart Noah.

Noah's new thing before bed is kissing between every rail... and I will surely do that for him!

Love this little dude and the girl that gets him later in life will be LUCKY!!!

Abe got himself a new bike today and it LOVING IT!!!

It is a lot bigger then his previous one, but has been practicing all day and seems to have the balance down on the newer, bigger bike!

Waiting to go on some errands with Grammie!  Don't mind the flood pants... its spring in MN and I am not buying pants until the fall!

Noah decided to wake up a little early today... Mom is still so tired and Noah is just so cute!

Loved the little snuggle session from this morning!

And entertainment at its best this afternoon.  We have forts, pillows, and bubble machines going!  Let the good times ROLL!

Thomas has turned in to quite the independent dude at the park!

This was a free find on the side of the road today.. and Tommy LOVES IT!!!

Love these people that call me mom!  We are getting ready to head over to Grammie and Grandpa's house because the Easter Bunny came early so that we could have an Easter egg hunt today!

Tommy was the only one that was not so thrilled about the idea today!

Noah was loving it!

Abe got lots of the eggs and even more candy! 

Halle found some eggs with money in them! And also ones with candy! 

And for my birthday my mom bought me, Ashley, and her tickets to wicked!  And it was SO GREAT!!! It was fun to be able to just hang out with just the girls and the play did not dissapoint!

After the play we hit up this good Mexican restaurant.  It was a perfect way to celebrate my birthday!

Alan taking down the island.  We are making changes to our kitchen and I AM SO EXCITED to see the results!  I think that taking out the top part of the island and just making it the same height will make the kitchen seem bigger.  Excited to see the change once the countertops are in!

Today I started tieing a quilt.  This is something that I did all the time with my grandma.  I love the memories I have of making things with my grandma.  And I can not wait to snuggle up with a new quilt soon!

Today Alan went and picked up Halle for lunch!  He got there a little earlier so he just took her out and they had McDonalds and then went for a hike at a place close to school.  Halle was raving about it ALL DAY!!! 

And to end this Good Friday.. we finished it off with root beer and some yummy popcorn.  Loved that Alan had a vacation day today!

Halle took money to the book fair and came back with TWO books!!!

So proud of her choices!

Happy Birthday to ME today!!!

Turning the big 31 and feeling pretty good about it!

Woke up this morning to this HUGE balloon and some beautiful flowers!

Got a bunch of snuggles from these two this morning.

Also got a free big buddy from kwik trip to celebrate the big day! 

This dude brightens my day always!

And to end my birthday evening we packed backpacks for pinewood.  This is my most favorite service to provide during the school year.  Our kids love helping and they love being able to help other kids out! 

And tonight Tommy took his first steps tonight and it was the best birthday present this momma could have asked for!!!

30 was a GREAT year... can not wait to see what this year 31 brings for me!
