Miscellaneous Pics

I could hold this baby all day long when he's asleep. Since he is likely our last one, I never want to put him down. Having 3 others that are growing up too fast and that grew out of being babies in no time at all makes my heart break, knowing just how quickly this beautiful stage will be over. I am watching him grow with excitement because of how wonderful he is and for the joy he brings me, but I can't help but feel sad at the same time. What a blessing children are.

Confidence loves to cook. She frequently makes breakfast on the weekends. In the photo above she had just made breakfast burritos and omelets (to order) for Dynamite, Vivacious and herself. She reminds me in a ton of ways of the American daughter on the movie, Spanglish. I can't remember her screen name just now.

Dynamite is so darn affectionate. Tonight I kissed his cheek and hugged him before bed and he said, "Mom, it's like my brain is telling me to always snuggle with you and love you forever. And I think you are so beautiful, even in your pajamas." He says stuff like this to me all the time in the most sincere, affectionate way.

Isn't he adorable? What if they made hammocks this big (proportionately) for adults? Tell me this doesn't look super comfortable!

Sometimes Cutesome has to be coaxed to sleep.

My sister and her husband are so wonderful with my kids! This is them, pictured with Cutesome and my niece, Madi.

Baseball - 4 Days a Week

Dynamite & Vivacious both decided to do baseball this year. What I didn't know when I signed them up is that their teams would play on opposite days. So, we're at the ball park Mondays and Wednesdays for Vivacious and Tuesdays and Saturdays for Dynamite. And can I just tell you that Vivacious' team does not stick to the hour and 15 minute game time?!

Ice Skating During Spring Break

He's a MAN!

Dynamite was extremely upset when Confidence and Vivacious put a girly Easter hat on Cutesome. His words: "Get that hat off him, he's a MAN!"

Spring Has Sprung!

Look at these beautiful flowers that come up each spring! I love them, but have no idea what they are called.

I am so excited that SPRING is finally here! I love the flowers and the leaves on the trees and the green grass and the not-too-hot sun and the kids playing OUTside! I even like yard work this early in the season (give me a month or two and I'll be dreading it again). We took the picture above so we could show the cute flowers (name unknown) that come up next to the rose bush each spring, but the sun was shining in the kids' eyes too much when they faced the right direction and somehow we missed the flowers from this angle.
