Sweet Caelan

Caelan is getting more and more independent each day.  That is saying a lot because he is the most DEpendent person in the world.  He is never without people.  For example I tried to find pictures of just him and I only found the 2.  That being said he loves his sisters more than anything in the world and does such a good job of taking care of them and telling them all the time how beautiful they are and how how much he loves them.  He is doing more on his own like getting himself snacks and drinks and riding his bike out front and being a "big kid".  I think he likes the freedom and I very much appreciate him.  His sisters are very very lucky.  I'm sure they won't feel that way in high school but all the more reason why we are happy parents.  He makes our hearts so full.

My Laidy

This sums up Adelaide.  Wanting to be fancy  and dancing all the time and she loves to do anything artsy.  

Evy Bug

This sweet little girl makes me laugh every day.  She is so very funny.  She also makes me crazy because everything she says she YELLS and yells over and over again until someone responds the right way.  She knows what she wants.  She likes to play hard.  Her and Caelan wrestle all the time and she climbs up on everything.  Here are pictures of her craziness.

Laidy Grace turns 3!

A little out of order but here are the pictures from her "official" birthday party. She had many. : ) Adelaide has surprised me a little bit this year. I'm learning that she is a lot like her dad. Once I figured that out things have been going a lot better. Caelan is like me so I understand him but Adelaide has taken me a little bit. She needs a lot of alone time or time where she can do activities on her own. She loves art and using her brain. She LOVES puzzles and is so good and fast at them. Anytime that she needs to be using her hands to create or her brain like reading and doing puzzles she is so happy. SO opposite from Caelan. She is lovely and I love her so much. She is turning into quite the little lady.

Evy loves getting her picture taken. She is just so good at smiling for the camera... Caelan needs some practice. : )

Would everyone had eaten the cake if they knew this is what happened to it while it was being made?

The sweetest boy ever

My Caelan is just so sweet. Adelaide has been really sick and missed her birthday because she was so sick. Today he set a surprise part for her while she was sleeping and when she woke up still feeling really sick he set a place for her on the couch and went to get her blanket. He is now sitting next to her singing her princess songs. She has a huge smile on her face even though her nose is dripping and her eyes are drooping.

My week so far

Sunday night: 2/3 kids vomiting on ALL the blankets we have

Monday: Take Evy to get an ultra sound on her hernia- thought it was something worse and had to go back for a second one that afternoon... everything's fine

Tuesday: Was a snow day. We had fun sledding and drinking hot chocolate

Wednesday: Our garage floods.........

What's coming....

Thursday: rain

Friday: rain

Saturday: rain

Sunday: snow

Crazy crazy week. The thing to top it off would be my client having her baby tonight. It would add to the craziness but at least it's a new life coming into the world and that always makes me happy.

At least I have these guys to make me happy. Caelan stole my phone and called aunt heather and Evy stole my ipod and pretended to talk too. Adelaide of course makes me happy too she just didn't make it into this picture.

End of the year

Craft time! I get to do my stuff and they (Adelaide) works beside me the whole time. Caelan just wants me to look at every little thing he does.

She got stuck in a stool. Yes I took a picture before I helped her.

"Cheese"

I've been trying to do more intentional things with my kids. Caelan makes it hard because he has the attention span of a 3 month old. Adelaide could do crafts forever! Which is fabulous! Here are our "gingerbread houses". Caelan just ate his.

This girl is always messing and her hair makes me so happy because it's curly (what?) and just crazy all the time. She is so silly.

Adelaide working very diligently on her gingerbread house.
