Another day in love

Heather & Kate = BFF's Seriously, if we lived closer and Heather wasn't moving OUT OF THE COUNTRY to enjoy the beauty of EUROPE!!! Kate would love for Heather to just move in with her to have her BFF by her side constantly. Unfortunately, being Kate's BFF doesn't pay much monetarily and Heather is getting married. Oh, well. We'll always have pictures to remember these sweet days!
All who "assisted" in getting these rockets off the ground!
Jackson was SO beyond excited to get to push the launch button, and Christian was so kind to let him take turns!
Showing and telling me exactly how the rockets launch

Isn't he just the cutest?! (You don't have to answer, I already know.)


Just love this stage and am absolutely in love with this little girl!

Watching the rocket take off...

(So blessed) and LUCKY in LOVE!!!

Rockets & a Spring Day @ the Park

This was such a fun day!! My family came down from Seattle to spend the weekend with us, with the culminating event being Lucy's blessing in church on Sunday, April 11th. This post is taking me forever and I am SO far behind in pictures--among other things--right now, so I'm going to publish this post without editing pictures or adding captions.

Parker & Jackson


Cute little Katie!! (Heather took my camera around for me... thanks, Heather!)
The girls in our family...


Showing me the pretty nail polish that Heather painted on her nails... so girly... so NOT like me!

Jackson & Kate ... do you think they'll always want to hold my hand?

Cool! Rockets... so suspenseful!

Oh! So sweet!!

Lucy has been smiling!!! I know she isn't in these pictures, but I thought I would document it. It's so cute when she makes eye contact and smiles her big, wide-mouth smile. She sure is a mix of her older brother and sister. Lucy & Kate have Parker's nose & shape of mouth, but my lips. Lucy & Jackson have "my" eyes. It's so fun to watch these little ones grow and develop. It is amazing how they can change so drastically in such short periods of time! (and why this picture got rotated is beyond me... does anyone out there know how to rotate the picture back the way you want it??)

Tent-Fort Fun

Jackson calls this his tent-fort... Christian just didn't quite fit... head out one end, feet out the other......

Cute little Kate looking more and more grown up!
Crazy little sleeper
So sweet... snuggly in bed with all of his necessities

Visit from Grandma & Uncle Christian!!!

Lucy... just doing her thing!
Jackson & Kate (and Lucy) were SO excited to spend a week being spoiled by Grandma & Uncle Christian. They were able to come down and spend the week with us before Lucy's blessing. Christian was a good sport, playing with his little niece & nephew.
Being silly!
