Growing up WAAAAY too fast!

These two are just sprouting in every way...physically, actively (sass-ily) and I'm just floored. They're suddenly pooping alone and riding bikes....I mean, they barely need me anymore. Now to teach them to make breakfast in bed and do laundry....

 

Why are boys so weird?!

So. He's potty trained. And peeing on trees.

Boys are gross.

Daddy's catching up....

...ok, not really, but I like to remind him he's not that far behind! He wanted low key, so we had family dinner with the obligatory sombrero and free meal at Iguana Mia!

I also took him out out for a grown up date...cause, well, the day he was born is one of my most very favorites. Nothing will ever be enough to express the love and appreciation I have for this man. He's everything. 

My "baby" is 3!!

Gavin's current obsessions: Minions and Play Doh. Ok kid, you got it!

Minion movie with Play Doh favors birthday bash!

We did have to reschedule (twice!) cause of some serious rain (in a typically non rainy month) but it {finally} went off without a hitch!

My little love is getting so big!

The movie ticket invitations each child was to bring for "admission". Maddie was very excited to be the ticket collector! Plus, give her a task and surely she'll stay outta trouble, right? RIGHT?!

Since the little muffin is obsessed with Play Doh (and I don't use the term lightly), I though Play Doh favors would be fun! I also had Jello mold Minions AND yellow melting chocolate, so chocolate Minions for the bigger kids (IE: moms and dads ;)

I just thought a little "drive-in" would be so much fun..and it WAS! The kids loved it! Coming up with boxes was a little tricky but we found enough for the littler kids!

As a craft, the kids all made their own Minions!

"3D" glasses!

I can't get over how quickly these three years have gone! Maybe because with two, life is more hectic. But I think it's because time truly does fly when you're having fun. This boy is so sweet and full of love and joy, he just makes our family complete! I adore him and can't wait to see what the next three years will hold! 

Ohio!

There were so many pictures of our trip to Ohio, I decided this would be a better way to cram them all in!

Greenfield is usually not the most, um entertaining of places per se, but we love the people there so much it never matters much...even if it didn't snow this time, save for a teeny flurry....
The kids had so much fun, despite the cold, rainy weather. They were able to really bond with Ally's kids, who are all close in age to ours. And then there's Mimi...so great to see her enjoying all the kids together. You could see the joy all over her face!

Until next time Ohio family!
