Playing Around

Last week was one of "those" weeks.  We were at the doctor 3 separate times, the ER once, and the ENT once! Not to mention we had a leak in our master bathroom and the garbage disposal exploded.  Yes, all in the same week!

Finally, everything seems to have calmed down and thankfully everyone is healthy for the moment.  With that said, I had Kevin put together Leyton's exersaucer.  Holden and Rylan both loved the one we had for them so I thought Leyton would enjoy it too.  At first he wasn't too sure of it but then he started to notice all the colors and sounds.

Rylan helped with pressing the buttons and turning animals.

Soon there after Leyton was grinning from ear to ear.

I am sure having a different view with toys helps also.

Can't believe my little guy is getting so big especially old enough for toys!

Spring Blooms

In the fall, while I was huge and pregnant, I planted tulips bulbs. 180 to be exact.  Not all in the same place but throughout our yard.  But with the recent snow and cold temperatures, I was not sure if they would bloom this year.  However, earlier this week my bulbs started to show signs that they just might bloom.

With a little sunshine, warmer temperatures and of course a little rain...

they are in full bloom and look beautiful!

It's official, spring has sprung!

Spring Break

Spring Break this year was very low key compared to years past.  But even though it was low key, we did have some fun.  Tuesday, Kevin took the day off and we head to Indianapolis for the day.  We spent the day at the Children's Museum.  It never crossed my mind that Indiana might be on Spring Break also.  Well, we soon found out they were once we arrived and the line to get into the museum was out the door even before they opened!  We made to most of our day despite the crowds.  Both boys loved the construction site last year and this year was the same.  They both grabbed a shovel and went to work.

If only they would do this at home!  We made sure we visited the new Super Hero exhibit.

 As you can see, Rylan loved it!  Then we made our way to the new Hot Wheels exhibit.  Holden and Rylan LOVED racing the cars over, and over again.

Before closing, we visited the Geckos.

There were so many different types but this little guy caught all of our attention.

Just look at those eyes.  Very creepy.  The boys tried to pretend they were geckos too.

You may wonder what Leyton was up too...well, he slept alot and looked around.

I think he enjoyed the museum too.

Thursday, Kevin parents arrived and the kids took full advantage of them and played the entire time.

 Thankfully they are good sports.

Friday, Rylan had his first T-ball practice and was beyond excited.  He was outside practicing even before his practice.

But nothing is cuter than these two little T-ball players.

I can already see that this is going to be a great baseball season for both boys.

A rather low key spring break but it ended up being a pretty good one even though we did not do very much.

4 Months Old

I can not believe Leyton is 4 months old already!

This little guy is getting so big!

The past couple of weeks he has had his hands in his mouth constantly.

Besides his hands being in his mouth, he has really started to reach for his feet.  It is so funny to watch him as he gets his legs in the air and then puts them back down.

I would say in the next week or so he should be able to reach his toes.  But for now, Leyton is just cooing, drooling, smiling, and giggling these days.

He really is such a joy and a perfect blessing to our family.  Happy 4 months baby boy!

Easter 2013

Happy Easter!  Here is a little recap of our day.  Well, let me back up to Easter Eve, the boys planted their "magic jelly beans" in the front yard hoping for something special to grow.  The boys also placed their baskets out in hopes that Easter Bunny would stop by.

Holden and Rylan were both up early to see if the Easter Bunny came and guess what, he did!

 Even little Leyton had a basket full of surprises.  Then the boys ran to the front door, where they planted their jelly beans, and what grew in place of the jelly beans, lollipops!

After breakfast and a few treats, we were off to church.

The boys all looked so handsome! Rylan loved his bow tie and jacket and asked for his picture to be taken alone!

I think it must be the spike hair that is boosting his confidence.  

Just look at these three in their Sunday best.

Leyton looked so sweet on his very first Easter.

The weather was rather yucky, so we ended up having an indoor glow in the dark Easter Egg hunt.

We enjoyed a quiet but nice Easter together especially with this little guy on his first Easter.

Happy Easter!
