Dirty boys and a not so great photo shoot

Wow, do I need to catch up on our crazy life!  Thanks to our awesome brother in law we are back in business with computer access!  Thanks Travis!!!! 

I think I will just post a couple of posts over the next couple of days so I can feel caught up.

For starters, on Valentine's morning my sister Laura woke us up at 7:00 on her way to work to drop off some yummy treats.  It's a good thing these kids have a naughty auntie because their mother doesn't give them suckers and cakes to eat all by themselves very often.  They thought it was the best way to wake up ever!

 This was just a random picture on a random day...but I thought it was worth posting.  These two little kiddos have quite the bond.  Sam and Josh have their little bond and Maggie and Jack seem to get along so well too.  It's funny because she is always taking care of these boys, even when they don't really want her help...but mostly they put up with, and even seem to love her sweetness.

 Jack wore himself right out this day.  It was one of the first days that we had started going for walks and playing outside and all of that fresh air just knocked him right out.  He fell asleep in the hallway.

 At the beginning of March we took a Sunday stroll to Daybreak.  We decided to walk around the lake, feed the ducks, have a pic-nic, and play at the playground.  We ended up taking some wrong turns so our casual stroll turned into a 2 hour walk.  It was so good to get out of the house and enjoy the day.

 Sam seems so grown up to me all of the sudden.  He's getting so tall and handsome!

 Maggie couldn't wait to feed the white ducks.

 She was so excited for it to come and eat her food.

The babies just chillin'.

 I wanted to get some new pictures of the kiddos to update my picture wall, but it was just not the day.  It was a pretty windy day and the kids had all lost their smiles and their focus!  Maggie was being so silly and her hair was totally crazy!

 Sam was winking in everyone of his pictures.  The funny thing is, he can't even really wink...weird!

 Jack just wanted to touch the camera or look at the ducks...cute little stinker!

 And Joshy would not for the life of me look at me and smile!

It's funny how sometimes when things don't go the way you expect them too you end up with some of your favorite pictures.
