Loggie Bopps

Our little Loggie Bopps was so excited to FiNaLlY big old enough to play spring soccer. Up 'til now it's been Justin's this and Justin's that, but that has all come to an end. Soccer has officially started for our little buddy. And when we didn't think he could get any more excited he found out that 2 of his cousins were going to be on his team! Hooray!Kara, Jace, Brooke, Kylee (Cousin), Dylan (Cousin) and Logan

They were SO fun to watch. Logan would run as fast as his little legs would take him. Although he did run fast after we would yell "go accelerate" (a cartoon Ben 10 alien that can move VERY fast). He would slap his wrist like he was Ben 10 himself slapping the Omnitrix (watch) to transform into this heroic alien. He was pretty excited when he made his 1st goal and can't stop talking about it.

You can definitely tell Kylee has watched her older sisters play. All the kids knew they wanted to make a goal, but Kylee knew the rules. She could see when the ball was going to go out of bounds and knew the other team had touched it last so she would let it go. If it was our team that last touched it she knew she needed to go for it. She played her little heart out. And Dylan, well Dylan proved to be the little all-star of the team and didn't hesitate to show it. In fact after his first goal he ran to Logan and Kylee and gave them hugs and then came over to the sidelines to give everyone a high 5 as he kept repeating "I'm so good"! And SO humble!
I loved watching these little guys play.

GO BLUE LIONS!

Easter

I have this neighbor who seems to have more energy then anyone I know. She loves to go all out for things and this time it just so happened to be the Easter egg hunt for all the neighborhood friends. Well, of course we have a ginormous snow storm the day before the hunt so she is in shambles trying to figure out where to host this hunt at, since her backyard is now covered in a foot of snow. Well, me being the UN-energetic person that I am told her to just cancel it, but oh no, not her. Where better to have it then in the church gym. The kids were so excited and loved every minute of it. But the fun didn't stop there. We then went up to my mom's house and the festivities continued. Everyone enjoyed being with family and coloring eggs.

Snowmen, Snow Forts and Snow Cones - In ApRiL

We have had MaNy snowmen around this place, but I think this is the best one yet.

Justin was so excited to show me his very 1st snowman he built all on his own.

After seeing Justin's snowman Logan kept begging me to come out to help him build one for him, but I had the neighbor kids here and Allie and her little friend are DoUbLe TrOuBlE when they are together. So I just didn't feel good about leaving them in the house alone, plus I was trying to get Abbie fed and down for a nap.

After much begging and pleading and feeling like I was a bad mom because Logan needed me and I wasn't able to give him the time and attention he needed I finally was able to get Abbie to sleep and the other two in snow clothes to come out with me. Once I got out side Logan informed me "nevermind, I don't want to build a snowman anymore". REALLY LOGAN!

Frustrated, I went back inside, took off all my snow clothes along with the trouble makers. Just to have Justin start begging and pleading for me to help him build a snow fort. AHHHH! A good mom would just do it without having to feel the guilt, but nope not me. The neighbor kids left. Allie and Abbie were both asleep, so on came the snow clothes, AgAiN. Well the second I went to walk out the door Allie woke up, Abbie woke up and neither of them were happy. But out we went to spend some time with Justin. I felt like he was in need of some attention himself.

But you can't have fresh fall'in snow without enjoying a yummy snow cone.and you can't enjoy a yummy snow cone without being in need of some hot chocolate to warm the little body from the inside out!

And in the end it makes all the hassle of the day

WORTH IT!

Sisters

It has been ALOT of fun watching Allie with her new baby sister. She has been such a big helper and surprisingly I haven't seen any jealousy. In fact every time she sees Abbie she says "it's still my turn. I need to hold her on my yap". She sure loves her little sister and you can already tell that Little Abbie is going to LoVe her big sissy...

Abbie Mae

2 weeks old

I've decided that 2 weeks flies by alot faster just after having a baby then it ever has at any other point in my life.

How am I suppose to cherish these moments if they go by so fast?

She didn't like Allie's Build-A-Bear outfit so much, but it was a perfect fit! :)

Allie felt like she needed to get in on the picture taking.

What a cute little stink!

Thanks Nikki Lou for spending the day with me and taking these for me.

Even though little Coy scratched her eye right before. Oops! ;)

Toothless

Justin has had this tooth hanging by a thread for a few days now, but tonight Derrick told him it was time to come out. He insisted on doing it himself. So after 10-20 mins of walking around with dental floss tied to it and slightly yanking on it he gave up and decided he was too chicken. Derrick told him he would untie it for him. HA! I'm not sure why anyone would trust a mischievous person such as him... Hence the end result... You look good buddy!
