All 3 kids....impossible!

We're not getting off to a very good start.

Hey, where is everyone going? What a face Lila (she obviously doesn't want her sister to be touching her!).

As good as it's going to get!

Never a Dull Moment

Norah was admitted to Children's Hospital on Thursday evening due to RSV (a respiratory virus) and dehydration. We were able to come home yesterday and she is doing much better!! The rest of us have colds as well so it's no wonder that she caught something too.

Dozer moved to a new home today. It was a tough decision for Luke and me but with the number of times he was getting off his leash or the kids letting him out the door, he was starting to cause trouble in the neighborhood. He likes so much attention and with 3 kids, he wasn't getting a whole lot either. We are fortunate that Luke's cousin, Molly, has found him a good home. He will be moving to a farm with even more room to roam around and a little girl that loves dogs. He will most definitely be missed.

On a positive note, we have found a nanny that will be with us 3 days a week until this fall. We are excited to have found someone that the kids like and will have fun with going to the pool, zoo and library this summer!

Hopefully things will start getting back to normal around here and we all start feeling better!

Happy Birthday to Wade!

Wade turned 3 years old on April 5th! We had two birthday celebrations at Easter this year and he had so much fun.

Happy Birthday Wade!

Great Uncle Steve wishing Wade a happy birthday after he blew out his candles.

Lila savoring every bite of her cupcake...needless to say the dress didn't end up with any chocolate on it, just her face :)!!

Allysen giving some love to baby Norah.

Wade playing with his new disc. He loves anything having to do with the farm and has such a great imagination! He has been enjoying going down to the farm all the time since I've been home and playing with Grandma Ruth's tractor collection!!
Wade's second birthday celebration with a farm cake! Wade and Lila blew out the candles lots of times!

The day of Wade's birthday we ventured to the zoo. Wade said his favorite thing on that visit was the fish...who knows what it will be next time??

While at the zoo we ran into Alyssa and Maggie and their kids enjoying Easter break!

Happy Easter!


Norah showing off her Easter goodies.

Wade and Lila checking out what the Easter bunny left by the door.

Decorating Easter eggs! The kids really liked picking out the colors of their eggs and decorating them with stickers. (Note: I do not pick out the pajama combinations for the kids!! :)

Norah is 1 month old!


Where is the time going?? Norah turned 1 month old on Wade's Birthday (April 5th). She is still such a good baby. Here are some of the things going on with Norah:
  • She wakes up about every 3 hours at night but the last couple of nights have stretched out to about 4 hours...yea!!
  • She is most awake in the afternoons and definitely has a fussy period in the evenings.
  • Tolerates her brother and sister picking on her very well :) (We've had to start watching Lila closely...many of her kisses have turned into scratches and hits!).
  • Likes going from her bouncer, swing and activity gym.
  • Loves to be talked to and cuddled!
