El loco LEVI

My son Levi is crazy. I have not been able to keep him clean or dry for the last two months. He is constantly moving and constantly making messes and getting into trouble. The picture of him asleep on the chair outside is an example of how rotten he is.

The other night we put the boys to bed and were hanging out in the basement where it was cooler. About an hour later I come upstairs to put Hannah to bed and I see the screen door is wide open. My heart started beating fast because levi has been "escaping" the house lately without my knowing it.

(The other day I found him in the neighbor's backyard playing with their dog. )

So I found him laying outside on a chair all snuggled up with his stuffed lion with nothing on but a diaper. He was so cute! He is rotten rotten rotten. But he is adorable!

look auntie meredith

Mere-i have this little tux that fits Jacob perfectly. just wondering if you thought it would work for the wedding. i thought it would be easy to throw the pics up on the blog and you could see what it looks like. The shirt, vest and tie are white and the suit is black with like a strip of black satin on the side of the pants so it looks like a real tux. let me know what you think. (he's pretty handsome in it huh?)

Jennifer Broberg has a blog

Some Strange Pictures

Amber came down for a visit and I got a few good pictures of her and Brittany.

First Photo Shoot

It's official. I have become one of those moms that I used to roll my eyes at. You know the kind. The moms that think their baby is the cutest baby EVER. Now don't get me wrong. I think my kids are cute. But I have always been a realist as to the actual degree of "cuteness" when referring to my own children. For example, my son jacob although pretty cute now, was NOT the cutest baby. (He had some crazy hair thing going on). Hannah, however, is in my humble opinion, the most beautiful baby ever. Yeah, I told you. It's official. I have become one of them. I am in love with my daughter and think she's the best thing ever. And you know what...I think that's how it's supposed to be.

1 month 2 days

Having survived our first month with three kids. 3 1/2 yrs, 1 1/4 yrs, and 4wks. I now have a new parenting plan. It is called Alive. Currently my whole approach to parenting is captured in that word. Keep them alive. Here is a few pictures of Lizzy and the boys.

She Has What I Do Not.

HAIR!

Easter Egg Hunt then Baskets

Yesterday we went over to Rachels for an Easter Egg hunt. We hid about 2 million eggs.





The plunder...

No post would be complete without a picture of Lizzy.

Haircuts

The boys were looking like hairbears so I decided to take them to the barber. Well you need two week reservations to get in to have your hair cut. So not wanting to make another visit to bambi. Who is Bambi? No not the cute little disney deer. Bambi is a stylist (that is me being gracious) that works at Cost Cutters here at Walmart. She has made a name for herself here in Sparta.

Last time Jacob got his hair cut it was from Bambi. Wow, she must be blind. I thought I would never see a hair cut that was that bad. Enter my brother. The same day Jacob visited Bambi my brother decided to try out Cost Cutters. How bad was it. I started laughing when he walked in the door.

"What the crap happened to your hair?" I laughed.
"Bambi got it", was his smart reply.

That sent us into fit of laughter since we were just talking about how we had never seen such a bad hair cut on Jacob. But Mark clearly recieved the worst bum end of the deal.

So I asked around where to get the boys a haircut and I recieved one response...DO NOT GO TO BAMBI... I asked three people and they all gave me the same response. So if you want a hair cut in Sparta there is only one real rule: NO BAMBI.

So being that it is two days before Easter I took things in my own hands. I decided that I couldn't do worse than bambi and cut the boys hair. I will let you decide how it turned out.

Levi looks like a girl with a short bob style hair cut. I had to give him a trim on the sides. So shove some candy in his mouth and start the clippers. It looks a lot better now.

Jessica and Baby

Here they are just before they came home from the hostpital. Jess and baby both look great.

Hannah was three days old when each of these pictures were taken.

and now there were THREE

Yep, thats right three. The clan is a little bigger. Jessica and baby came home Sunday night. Baby and mom are doing very well. Here are a few pics over the past week. For a little less fuzzy picture you can go HERE...Sue Williamson took a better picture.

She has a bunch of hair. I have never seen that much hair on any new born. It is crazy.


Meredith, Jessica's sister flew up from Texas to spend some time with the kids.



The rest of Jessica'a family came up on Sunday to celebrate bringing home Hannah. Josh read while Levi used him as a jungle gym. Gloria is staying for a week to help us out with the kids.


Jacob enjoyed putting on uncle Gabes helmet. Even though it was a little heavy at times. It was a pretty busy weekend when all was said and done.

The Other Two

Since I posted a few pictures of Hannah I thought I should drop everyone a few pictures of the other two.
Jacob has many different jobs at the house. Lately he has been helping dad finish off the room in the basement. He has been a big help with his big boy tools.

When he is not fixing something he is swash buckling the open seas. The "green sword" pirate looks a little more scary. The "barely asleep jammy" pirate looks alittle too friendly.



Playing in their new camping room has also been a favorite pastime for the other two.


Last week we had temperature in the 70's and 80's all week long. We couldn't keep them inside. A new tire swing was a big hit and being able to run around with no shirt on also topped the fun charts. Levi loves being outside.
