Out With the Old

We finally did it.  We broke down and got a new couch.  I loved this blue couch in our old house, it fit and matched perfect.  However, in this house it just never really did anything for me and to be honest it really wasn't all that comfortable.  Little blue was moved upstairs into the loft (now when people come over and we are playing upstairs we won't have to sit on the floor).
This is our new Big Kahuna!  It is huge, comfy, and beautiful.  It looks great in our living room.  Now I'm thinking I might have to change up the colors...
Isn't she a beauty!

Outfits

I know this is totally lame and the pictures aren't that great, and after she wears all this size of clothes I will stop taking pictures of every outfit.  I just love the zebra print baby legs.  I was cold enough to actually get to wear them.  And this, a baby shrug.  So dang cute.

Sharing

At least they figured out a way to share something important.

Dresses

Another picture of my sweet little lady.  She pretty much is dolled up everyday.  Today her and I did a little shopping together.  I love getting her all dressed up and taking pictures.  Here we were just sitting outside enjoying the beautiful weather tonight and watching her brothers play.

Oh, and I'm obsessed with making bows.  They are so dang cute.

Horseshoe

Who shaved my baby girls head?
I finally got a picture of my sweet little lady's male pattern balding.  Actually she came out this way and the top is growing is really fast.  I kept saying I felt like I was carrying really low and I'm pretty sure she rubbed all the hair off the top of her head.  No worries though, all her pretty little bows cover it nicely. 

Sugar

Here is my Little Sugar.  This is what we have been calling her, I have even heard Zackary call her this.  I had her all dolled up so I decided to play with my camera and new lens.  I can't get over the girly clothes and bows.  I had a friend make her some super cute bracelets.  How cute is that?

This is how Chloe spends most of her day.  With her big brother hovering over her, kissing, and loving on her.  So far she is loving him, or at least tolerates it very well.  If she is fussing he is over singing to her holding her hand.  It really is the cutest thing to see siblings getting along.  I love my littles!

ISR Graduation

We finished ISR Swimming for the 3rd time.  I still can't get over how amazing this swimming program is.  Zackary is an excellent swimmer, this year was a short refresher course.  He really only needed a week but we kept him in for an extra week since Lane still needed a second week.  And Lane, well he is full blown swimming.  It is really unbelievable to see a 2 year old swim across a pool without any problem and flip over to take a breath.  We found an awesome instructor in our neighborhood this year and she was amazing with both boys.  They had a great time.  Now we just need to start the swimming season.  Here are some pictures she took of the boys swimming together on the last day.  They had a great time competing with each other to see who was faster.

This was Lane's famous jump off the step, he did it every time.  I think he did it just to make a big splash and watch us laugh each time.

Chloe Girl

I am in love.  Chloe looked so cute today I had to take pictures.  We are already moving up to the next size of clothes and boy does she have some super cute ones for 3 month size.  She looked beautiful in her white dress and bow today.  I can't believe she is already 2 weeks old.  The time is already going so fast.  One of my favorite things is snuggling a newborn baby.  I am soaking up every moment I can get.  Aaron has been home to help with the boys so I get a little extra time with my little girl.  

I love this little girl!

My New Beauty

I got an extra special Mother's Day gift this year.  This pendant is a beautiful symbol of my special family.  I have always wanted to be a Mom, I never thought it would be such a wonderful job.  My family means the world to me.  I can say, it can be trying at times but worth every difficult moment.  I love my family!
Thanks for such a great Mother's Day.

Squirt Guns?

Who needs squirt guns when you have spray bottles.  The boys got a hold of Aaron's grillin squirt bottle and figured out that it made for some great fun.  We headed out to the Hardware Store for some more.  They even picked one out for a friend of theirs.  

We have been having some good family fun with our new water guns!

Where's the baby?

Chloe's big brothers are a big help.  Lane decided to share his special blankets and give her a stuffed animal to play with.  I look over and can hardly see my baby.  She already puts up with a lot.  They are only trying to help.

Fiesta

Check out this spread!  We were invited to a Cinco De Mayo party at some good friends of ours Dylan and Stacy.  They made some amazing Mexican food and we had some delicious margaritas.  It's really sad that this is the only picture I took.  Thanks guys for the great dinner party!

Mothers Day at School

Today we celebrated Mother's Day at preschool. Mother's Day is pretty amazing when it actually means something to your baby. The kids sang us some songs, my baby served me punch, and gave me hand massages. My favorite was when he asked me if it needed to be stronger or softer. It was so cute and he was so into treating me so special. He made me this fabulous hat to shade me and I got a painted tile and special card. I love this little guy!

Ladybugs

Aaron picked up some ladybugs to release in our garden. The boys were thrilled with the containers full of ladybugs. We released them in our garden. Hopefully they stick around for the season.

Just Relaxing

Here is Chloe. Just hanging out on the couch, relaxing, with it all hanging out. I think it is so funny that she doesn't care if she has a blanket and has no desire to be swaddled. Love her!

Chloe's Room

Finally, I took pictures of the nursery. I love it! It turned out so cute. My Mom is in the process of making some super cute curtains and a chair cushion for my old rocking chair. 

I will have to post more pictures when they are up.

Remember the old chandelier? It is up and working and she loves to look at it.

Male Bonding

This is what Andi and I look out the window to witness. Head shaving in front of the kids. Hopefully the kids didn't get any ideas. Next, they busted out the shop vac to clean up, Aaron even used it on Scott.

Party On

Tonight we celebrated my Aunt Cindy's birthday with a surprise party at an Irish Pub.  What a great time with all of our family and their closest friends. It was really nice to get out with everyone. Unky Matt was even in town. We took little Chloe along since she is only 8 days old. She was a little trooper.

Happy Birthday Cindy!

What a proud Daddy and his sweet baby girl.
