6th Birthday!

We had a little birthday celebration for our oldest the day before his birthday! His grandparents joined us and it was a fun party.
6 is so old, doesn't he look so grown up in all these?
I love him and how much fun he has writing and drawing.






He loved playing with the cake and having the dinosaurs use their playground.


His birthday was the next day and we took a few birthday pics.




After church he and his dad built his new Lego mobile police station.


I love my big kid. He's a sweet boy and fun big brother. He enjoys school, learning, being the boss, playing, and being silly.

Reading II

At the beginning of the month I posted a video of our Kindergartner reading. Here's the younger two :)

On Friday our Preschooler read to baby.


After offering a little assistance I recorded a little more.


Baby loves being read to. Seriously, he wishes he could bring us books and sit on our laps all day long.

Baby reading on 4/21.


This last one isn't reading but it's a super short & super cute clip of more of his animal noises (and playing dinosaurs!) from 3/18.

March

Our baby is getting so big!  Something I don't have a pic of is him spinning around til he's dizzy.  He thinks it's hilarious, but it makes me a little nervous.

> Bathtime for big brothers.  (Yes he's fallen in a couple of times.)
> Riding a train. (All the boys get a turn upstairs at bedtime.)


> Glad someone liked it. I'd never made goulash before, but thought big brothers would like it too.  Baby even loved it as leftovers.
> He loves yogurt. See how he's getting much less messy about it. And he always wants granola in it, like me (and preschooler too).


> He was so quiet during scripture time that I jumped up to find him. He was hiding in the kitchen putting hats on a small pile of lego men. He didn't flinch when I showed up, but when big brother came in after scriptures he immediately handed them all over.
> Coloring in nursery.  I love having him in there with me.
> Ready for prayer.  One day after our dinnertime prayer he kept his hands like that and mumbled a little prayer of his own.  Cutest thing ever.


> Playing with a pull-and-go car book.
> I've almost thrown the wagon part away (and kept the blocks) so many times. But then I'm reminded that the boys love the wagon part.  And baby pulling it around was super cute.
> Just chillin'.


Poor baby doesn't feel well. And doesn't know why I'd pause cuddles for a picture.


Playing outside.


Preschooler: When I was born I said "yay! winter!"
Me: Cool! Except you were born in the summer.
P: When I was born I said "yay! summer!"

P: You're one of my favorite moms.
M: Oh yeah?  Who are your other favorite moms?
P: Your mom.  Both the grandmas.

Our preschooler loves to sing.  The other preschool moms have told me he does great with music time, as has the primary chorister.  He sings a variety of songs at home but is particularly loving to sing the songs from the show Dinosaur Train. He just goes through them one after the other. Sometimes that's how he spends quiet time.  He loves that show plus we keep the soundtrack in the van.

Our preschool had 2 field trips & a party during March.
The Post Office (not pictured) and the Fire Station.


Trying to give baby some lunch after the Fire Station.


The party was a Birthday Party for all of them, though not near any of their birthdays. Celebrating growing up I guess.
My preschooler definitely did the best job of playing pin the tie on the lion correctly.



> "Birthday" cupcakes.
> My preschooler really loves to play with others.


Wearing a car he made in preschool. And telling me to get behind him because I'm the caboose.


Minus 2 teeth!


> St Patrick's Day. I told him he didn't need to lift his shirt for the picture but he disagreed - we need to see all his green.
> Kindergartner loves to write and do math. Here he wrote down a song they sing at school.


He really misses baby while he's at school.  Baby rarely lets us hold his hand, so this walk home was rather special.


An anniversary cheesecake.  Homemade, including the raspberry & chocolate syrups, by my man.  8 years ♥!


My brother had his first baby and we got to meet my adorable nephew when he was 8 days old. We're all in love!! ♥ ♥

3.14

Winter finally brought us some snow! The boys were pleased and we all had fun.



Our oldest wanted to help with the shoveling.
Baby was not pleased to come inside with me when it was time to prepare lunch, but daddy had started shoveling again so I couldn't leave him with the others.


It wasn't snowman-making snow, but it worked for sledding :) Our oldest is an old pro.


Our preschooler went down with daddy first but soon wanted to on his own.


He's not smiling in the pic with me because it was right at the beginning, but we went down lots and he loved it.


It was Pi day.  By the time I caught our baby tasting the lemon meringue he'd made it past the meringue and didn't want another taste of lemon.  The lemon wasn't fully set then, but he liked all of it later!  Neither of my other boys have ever really liked pie, but our Kindergartner liked both of them this time, so that was fun.
