it's been a long time!

We have been busy as usual around here. No excuse for my lack of blogging, I will try to be better. We spent Easter at the beach and had a great time. The kids LOVE the beach. Chris took the big kids on a little boat ride, and they loved it.
Corbin loves to fish, he could sit there all day long with a pole in his hand. He is so patient when he fishes. He loves to pick out his shrimp.
It is hard to tell from this picture, but the Easter bunny put a TON of eggs out. A few little presents too. The kids thought it was cool that the Easter Bunny came to the beach on a boat.
Watching the shrimp, I guess making sure they behave.
Sophie and Corbs being silly.
We had a nice Easter lunch at Nana and Paw Paws the week before Easter. The kids loved swimming.
We also celebrated my big man's 5th birthday. He had a great. day. We love this boy so much. He is so special.
Caroline spends most of her time outside with her huge hat on. She loves to be outside, and I am scared she is going to bet burned. She actually is good about leaving it on.
Corbin and all his grandmothers and great grandmothers at his party.
Claire and Junie.
Playing on the boat after hunting eggs.
We also did our neighborhoods Easter Egg Hunt. It was really fun! Sophie came too. The kids had a great time.
Hanging out at the t-ball fields. We spend a few nights a week at the t-ball fields... It is fun. We have now started swim team too. It is amazing how well Corbin has done.

My and my black eyed pea. She hit her eye on the faucet in the bathtub, all is better now.
Our neighborhood splash pad.
We have been having tons of fun as usual. The kids are growing up too fast. I can't wait until the summer, so that I can soak up the sun with them!

5 words...

This week I have been filling out paper work for the kids school next year. Corbin will be in Kindergarten next year, and I am a little nervous about it. Well VERY nervous to be honest. One form for Claire asked us to put 5 words that best explain our kiddo. Picking only 5 was REALLY hard. I was thinking what I would write for each of our kiddos if I were asked to pick 5 words to explain each of our babies. Here is what I would say. Corbin SENSITIVE, LOVING, FUNNY, THOUGHTFUL, ATHLETIC
For Caroline CUDDLY, CURIOUS, BEAUTIFUL, BOSSY, SWEET
For Princess... BEAUTIFUL, SMART, LOUD, SWEET, BRAVE.
There are a million words I could write to describe my kids. I feel we have three very amazing little ones. They are all so very different. Their personalities differ, but the fact that they are each so darn special to us is the same. We love these kids more than I ever in my life thought you could love something. It is so true that the love you have for your kids is like nothing else in the world.

kids VS babysitter

Chris and I went to a wedding Saturday night and Aunt Celine was our babysitter. She stepped up to the challenge, and we are so thankful she did. It was 4 kids (our three and Sophie) against Celine. She took some pictures throughout the night on our camera. They are pretty funny. Lets just say that when we got home all Corbin and Claire talked about was how much chocolate milk they drank, how much candy they ate, and that they loved playing the game where Claire, Corbin and Soph would run around and push each other down! They had a great time!!! Thanks Aunt Celine. We owe you one, or two.. or three...
Sophie and Claire fed Caroline brownies...
Caroline loved them.
They ate fun dip...

Yes, looks like Caroline ate the sugary goodness too.
All four of them going to town on some blue sugar! Look how Caroline is digging deep in her bowl!
All I can say is when you are outnumbered, which I am daily, you do whatever you can to make everyone happy and keep the peace. I am all about doing what works!
