Random Spring

 It isn't uncommon for Levi to join us a few nights a week from the basement.  Miss having all my kids upstairs and close by at night time.  

 Poor Austin is lucky to get a bath once a week, but when he does he sure loves it.  

Rub a dub dub my baby.

 Indoor campout

 It is a big accomplishment to be able to hold up such a cute little noggin'

 We may have turned into ducks this spring.  We had so much rain some days I loved it and others, like the constant gray drizzle days . . . not good.  Luckily no flooding just happy green grass and cool temps for a few more weeks, but now summer is here with full force.  Hopefully summer rain storms won't forget to come back and visit us.

 Austin is turning into a big boy, happy little guy with contagious giggle.

 Sporting his new zipadeezip sleep sack. We have loved this and it has helped falling and staying asleep tremendously, priceless in my book.  Sleep sleep sleep, we love when we can sleep.

 Someone dug out all of his pet clothes and found his long lost pal Rudolph, Blakey had to join in with shoes for Olaf.

hello handsome baby boy

 He loves his fingers, yum yum.

 Daddy's helpers

 For Jared's 35th we headed to the park for a picnic and back home for some homemade cake from Smiths . . . won't buy that again.  It was a bit of a flop of a birthday but we've been trying to make up for it the rest of the month.  Some days having a plan just doesn't work so well.  Love my guy for all he does for our little growing family.  Half way to 70 . . . eeks :)

 Blake can be the cutest 2 year old ever, and also a very naughty one.  But in this pic he's pretty cute.  He cries when we drop the boys off at school because he wants to go to class.  He loves wearing his backpack and feels so grown up just like Brons and Vi.  I love my little man.

 Memorial Day camp out . . . backyard style

 Mmmm Blakey loves strawberries.  The other day he was asking me what all the animals say.

Mom, what does a chow say?  What does a . . . cheep say?  What does a chicken say?

His phraseology is my favorite . . . another instance of needing a camera on my head.

 happy little napper, getting so big

Blake does so well when it comes to time out.  He never cries and runs away he just stays put so nice and quiet, so nice and quiet in fact that it's not uncommon for me to forget he is still in time out.  So the other night after hitting Levi he was tired of waiting for me to come get him and decided to tuck himself in for the night.  He did a pretty good job too.  He was pretty sleepy having had no nap that day, it hadn't been too long that he was in there I'm guessing about 10 min, but apparently too long for him.  He climbs into his bed sometimes when he's ready for naps or sleep but so far doesn't try to climb out.  I love cribs, hope it lasts a lot longer.  We love sleep.
