"Lay with me!!"

I'm back, and hopefully going to play a little (okay, a lot:) of catch-up with the blog!  These pics were taken in early January.  The boys LOVE their little sister, as I've mentioned before, and they constantly ask for her to lay in their beds with them.  At this point (in January), she was very compliant, but now, she's a little more challenging to lay with... rolling over, pulling hair, steeling their loveys, etc., but they still always ask for this - insisting that she take turns in each of their beds:).  Here are pics of some bedtime snuggles:

Brock funnies :)

Both of our boys keep us laughing on a daily basis.  I don't do a very good job of writing things down, but as I look back over how quickly they are growing, and how much I have forgotten, I realize that I need to do better:).  This is an attempt to remember today, an especially funny Brock day:). 

Funny #1 -
Tonight we took a walk, and the boys rode their "big boy bikes".  When given the choice of what activity they want to do, they will always choose to play baseball.  We are trying to encourage them to ride more, but they still use training wheels and are pretty timid on their bikes.  As we were walking/riding along, Brock looks up at me and says "Guess what Mom?" 
Me:  "What, buddy?"
B:  "Do you know what it's called when you are riding a bike and it wobbles, but you don't fall off??"
M:  "No.  What?"
B:  "A Miracle!!" (said with all sincerity and much emphasis:)

Funny #2 -
After Sunday School this morning, Rob asked Brock what he had learned today.  He promptly replied, "We learned about the 10 leopards."
Rob: "What about the 10 leopards?"
B: "They were sick and God healed them."
R: "Do you mean the 10 lepers?"
B: "Yes, but sometimes I like to call them leopards."

That boy keeps us laughing:)!!

The many looks of Ali Lou

I started this post many months ago:), and am just now getting around to finishing it.  These are some random pics that I took of Ali wearing some of her cute outfits.  She has grown so fast that it doesn't seem that she gets to wear her clothes for very long, so I had to document some of her cuteness in them:).

Spring pictures

This week we took the kiddos to get their pictures taken. The boys turned 4 on February 8th, and Ali was 5 months on April 3rd. I intended to get these done about a month ago, but the craziness of life delayed it. Oh well:). Better late than never!! We are happy with how they turned out. Take a peek:

Isn't she just a pumpkin?!?!?!

And these guys........so handsome:)!!

This is my favorite!!

So sweet:).
