Tulip Time

This time of year is beautiful around our city and we tried to get a few pictures along with the kids to capture the beauty of it all. Tulips are famous here and they are in bloom everywhere. There are in every color, on every curb, and at every park!

We had a picnic for our Easter celebration and the weather was just perfect! The park was so crowded we had to select a specific designated area for our easter egg hunt. Everybody thought we were crazy running around with eggs and easter baskets but the kids had a ball and got a sugar high. We are are so excited about the summer and look forward to long days outside at the park.

Micah invited a friend over to decorate eggs and it was the highlight of the day.

Luka wasn't very interested in decorating the egg but he loved stealing the eggs just to annoy Micah...haha. There is nothing like sibling love!

One of Noelle's favorite times of the day is food time and this is what she looks like when she knows its coming.

I gave her the bowl and she got a little confused

Within seconds, she figured out how to solve her problem.

Spring is here!

Spring has finally arrived in our town and its been a long time coming. Here are a few photos of what we have been up to during the cold month of March. Micah loves to dress up and put make-up on. Luka of course will copy whatever Micah does.

Luka is the most loving little guy. He is always hugging on his little sister!

Our first day as a family out in the park this spring. Such beautiful weather!!

Luka fell from the top bunk bed and busted his lip open. Poor baby!

Happy Love Month!!!

We had a wonderful and busy Valentine celebration this week. The kids and I made heart cookies for Micah to take to school. Meme even came to help make cookies on Skype!! Luka nearly dumped the whole bottle of sprinkles on each cookie. Micah also decorated Dora valentines for everybody in her class. Jason and I had a delicious steak dinner at home for our valentines celebration. It was nice to have a quiet candlelit evening at home!!

I also uploaded some super sweet pictures of the kids in their valentine outfits. A friend of ours got some great shots. There are also a few random photos from this month as well.

Say hey to Meme!!

Luka loves to wear his hat and it must be on backwards.

Micah in her new valentine pjs.

Kisses for Daddy

Here are several great ones of our sweet babies!!!

January

This month has been full and lots of fun. In these first few pictures we were eating dinner with some friends and they said Noelle was hungry and needing something to eat. She hasn't really started eating many foods but they decided that she needed pickled carrots and pickles. Funny thing is, that she actually loved the carrot. Those of you that have had pickles here know that they are extremely salty. Afterwards I tried to give her some water but she wasn't very interested.














Here is a good friend and her baby. Her and Noelle are only a few months apart.


Today we woke up to a lot of snow on the ground. Micah was ready to go out immediately. I think we were the first ones outside. Luka doesn't really match but I figured as long as he was warm it didn't really matter. Poor guy even had pink pants on.
