Kangaroo Zoo Party

Kyler had an awesome party at a bounce house. This is our first party not at our house. I decided with Stella being so small, it was worth it to not have it at home. The party was a hit! All the kids ran crazy for 2 hours as you can see in the pics. We were in the cosmo room so Kyler wanted a planet cake. I think it turned out pretty cool and it tasted awesome! Kyler was so happy with the party he had a blast.

Zoo Field Trip for the Birthday Boy

On Kyler's birthday he had a field trip to the zoo. It was total chaos. Addie had a total meltdown which resulted in us taking a long time to find Kyler's group. In the end we found him and had a fun time. We let him open presents from the family that night and then took him to dinner. He got to pick where we went to dinner. I love that he picked Benihana. I can't believe my little man is already 6!

Pumpkin Patch

A little while ago I decided we needed to go to a pumpkin patch. The patch I wanted to go to was right down the street from our friends house. We went and the kids loved looking for pumpkins. Right away Ali found a HUGE pumpkin. So the boys spent their time trying to find one just as big for Kyler. Addie and Immy really liked the little pumpkins. They kept picking and picking. We tried to tell them that they were done but they didn't seem to care. So as they picked, we put back. It's fun to see that such a simple activity can be so fun to them. Thanks Wilsons for going along.

Fire Station Field Trip

I was lucky I was able to go to Addie's first preschool field trip. They had a blast at the fire station. Their favorite part was in the ambulance. The fireman let them sit on the bed while he raised it up and down. It was so cute to see Addie interacting with her friends. I found out that day that where you find Addie, you will also find Seth. They are attached at preschool. It's so good to have you friend around!

Life With 3!

Life with 3 is definitely crazy! We are definitely busy with lots of things. Between feeding Stella, soccer, dance, preschool, kindergarten, homework, field trips, calming a fussy baby, baths, getting ready for themed days at school, I can understand why I am so tired! We have some really fun moments and some bad ones too. Sometimes the kids are crabby and sometimes the parents are crabby. Sometimes we forget to put away the razor and our daughter cuts her lip trying to shave. Give her a bandaid on her lip and the world is right again. Sometimes our son has meltdowns (ok a lot of meltdowns) and sometimes he tells me how much he loves me and it melts my heart. Sometimes Addie nurses her baby while I am nursing Stella and Dan and I laugh so hard. Our life is funny, happy, often crabby, and always crazy but I love it just the way it is!!!

Family Photo Update

With Stella's arrival, we decided it was time to update the family photo. We also wanted to do some way cute newborn pics of Stella. They turned out so good! As always Emilie did an amazing job. It was a fun shoot too. Since I was still recovering from my c-section, we just took the photos here at home. Stella was a fun challenge in the pictures. Let's just say she really knows how to use the bathroom. That's not really a good thing when you are taking pictures without a diaper! These that are posted are some of Emilie's favorites.
