Have I told you lately how much I love my kids?

All I can say is that I love my babies so much. I really can't explain just how happy they make me, or the feeling I get deep in my heart when they smile. The happiness these children bring me.. well I can't explain it.
Caroline Louise looks so precious in blue! It makes her pretty blue eyes sparkle!
Corbin & the girls went to a super fun birthday party yesterday. It was at a park, so we really enjoyed the nice weather. Corbin and his friends ran all around with their spiderman masks on. Corbin thought this was so awesome! He is such a boy! Constantly running, jumping, growling and just loving the outdoors.
My "big" kids
We all know how much my kids love giant inflatables...
Princess... Chris has called Claire "Princess" for a while know. It seems more and more people are catching onto this and she is now referred to as "princess" often... All I can say is my princess is growing up fast, and says some of the sweetest things. She often will just randomly tell Chris and I that she loves us.. talk about melting your heart. Don't worry though in the next sentence she will tell us her famous line "you are a bad boy/girl and you are not coming to my party!"
Having fun!
The kids had a great weekend. I love my weekends at home with Chris and the kids.

Swinging

Today we went to the park with Jack Jack and baby Grace. Caroline got to meet her friend Grace for the first time, so that was special! She also got in the swing for the first time! Brooke took this cute picture of her! I could kiss this sweet face all day long... ALLL DAY! Didn't get any pics of the other kiddos, because they were too busy having fun!

Fun in the Sun...

My two little artists. These two kiddos wake up asking for markers. They are often covered head to toe in marker, which means you can only imagine all the things in this house they have colored on.. They do make us some pretty cute pictures though.
I ordered these dresses for my girls, and let me tell you they look so precious in them.
My three super precious babies.
This weekend we got the slip and slide that Uncle Joseph got us out again. The kids really love it. Sophie came to have some fun too.
That's my boy!
This is how sweet Caroline enjoyed the day in the sun!

My baby boy is 4!

Hard to believe my baby boy is 4.
Dear Corbin,
You will always be my baby boy. You are so very special to so many people. You make my heart smile every time I look at you. You are such a beautiful little man. I love the way you have become so bossy! You love to tell everyone what they should be doing, and exactly how to do it. Unbelievable how you forget nothing. We have learned not to tell you that you can do or have something unless we fully intend for it to happen! School this year has been so wonderful for you. The things you have learned have truly amazed us. You are so happy, and you love to play. You are such a BOY! I love how you pretend to be spiderman and batman. When you are in character, it is priceless. I LOVE that you say the sweetest most precious things. When you tell me you love me, to have a nice day, or that I am your best friend you melt my heart. You and your Daddy are such great buddies, and I am so glad that you have such a good role model. You are your Daddy's BIG MAN & your Mama's bubby. I really can't put into words how much I love you, or how I feel about you. The day you were born you made us parents, and that was the best day. We are so thankful for you, we are so proud of you, we are so in love with you, and you truly just make us happy. Thank you Corbin for being the best little boy in the world. Thank you for filling my heart with so much happiness. Claireb and Caroline are so lucky to have you as a big brother. I know you will always look out for them. Happy birthday to my precious boy. I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always ... forever and ever my baby you'll be.
I love you...
Mama

Princess Caroline Louise slept the ENTIRE party. She stayed in her car seat and slept. Sooner than later she will be running around with the other kiddos.

pictures...pictures..pictures

Been busy like always around here. We have had a great few weeks. We have been enjoying the nice weather! I go back to work on Wednesday, so I have been soaking in all this fun time with my babies, and I am already counting down the days until summer...Caroline is three months old tomorrow. Time has gone by really fast. She is a sweet little MAMA'S girl! She is one spoiled baby.. She makes everyone work to keep her happy!! She has become a great sleeper at night which makes a happy mama! Her smile is just precious.
The ZOO! Brian, Mary, PawPaw and my gang went to the Zoo. It was a perfect day, and the kids had a great time. Corbin and Claire saw the zoo from Brian and PawPaws shoulders...
and princess Caroline saw the zoo from the stroller and our arms.
Brian, PawPaw, Chris, Corby and Claire
This particular day I decided the girls needed to show some Aggie spirit. No matter what school they end up going to, you won't be able to say I didn't try to brainwash them to go to A&M. They looked super cute... I love buying matching outfits for the girls. One of the many pluses of having girls close in age. I would try to coordinate Corbin too, but that would mean not wearing Batman, Spiderman or one of the many other action heroes.
Feeding the ducks at the zoo.
Corbin and Claire were watching a movie in his bed...
Corbin and Caroline enjoying some early morning cartoons together.
Last week I took the kids to a fun play place with a fun jumpy thing. They had a great time!
My sweet baby that I just love so much. I could just kiss this face alllllllll day!
My two favorite boys in the world.
We went to the beach for the first part of Easter weekend. The cousins all went to the Easter egg hunt there. Here is how Caroline did the Easter egg hunt... asleep in Pa's arms.
Caroline and Shelby! Caroline is catching up!
June. Corbin. Claire and Sophie after the hunt.
Crafty Aunt Natalie brought these fun bunnies for the kids to decorate. They thought it was so fun, and they turned out so cute. So fun that the kids have an art teacher for an aunt.
Corbin went out on Uncle Jon's boat. He LOVED it. They went and got some shrimp at the marina to fish with. Corbin loved telling me about how fast they went!
Aunt Margie fished with Corbin. He caught on fast. He is not quite patient enough to be a successful fisherman, but he still loves it.
Bubble time with Paw Paw at the Barrow's Easter.
Corbin having fun!
So cute. I love this pic Chris got of my girl. He said she was actually trying to avoid getting her picture taken, and this is the picture he got. She is such a handful.
Corbin and Claire were messing with Nana and Paw Paws decorations...
My family. I love them all so much. I feel so blessed to have such a wonderful family. I would say I am one lucky lady.
