Swimming

Ty started swimming lessons...oy.  Poor bub is so completely terrified of the water (only water that he can't touch the bottom in)....his whole body shakes.  I'm trying to get him more comfortable in the water, so he can enjoy our pool this summer.

I'll say....he's so brave...because he is so scared, and stays in the pool....I'm so proud of him!

Contemplating his getaway with Brielle....

Brielle is ALWAYS smiling....

Blowing bubbles....aka, getting used to his face in the water...

This right here is when Ty panicked...he thought he was going under...

...and there were some tears...

...but I'm so proud of him, because he stayed in the pool, and finished the lesson!

Cookies

Olivia started Girl Scouts late this year, so she didn't get a chance to sell cookies.  When we found out we'd be having a booth, we signed up right away!

We expected it to be a little warmer since it is Spring, lol!

Lex and Lucy

Best buds.....cozy on a snowy day (even though its officially Spring, its been snowing since yesterday).  Love the bond between these two....

30 weeks

I am just 30 weeks, and our little bub is growing healthy and big! Already measuring a little under 4lbs....he is looking fantastic!

Dentist

Bella had a dentist appointment the other day that required novocaine....her very first time ever having it.  She did FANTASTIC (which took me completely by surprise)....but ended up with a droopy, swollen face for half the day!

Happy to report that the swelling/droop went away, and she looks as good as new (as you can tell from the St. Paddy's day photo)!

Bingo

The kids had Bingo at their school the other night!  We didn't win one single game, but everyone had so much fun!!

St. Patrick's Day

Happy St. Patrick's Day!  

The kids woke up and found that the lucky leprechaun had come to visit!  Chairs were upturned, milk was green, there were green marbles and hershey kisses everywhere, and green streamers hanging from the ceiling.  They were bummed that their trap was empty, but so excited he came to our house!

(That bottom picture, with the chairs and the rug looks distorted because it was taken with my fisheye!)

Melting

We are LOVING this weather!! It was in the 50's today....melting, melting, melting....but still have about 3 feet of snow left to melt!

Cookies

Bella's troop held a cookie booth outside the Voting area yesterday!  The girls worked super hard, and it was a success!

Bella took her money collecting VERY seriously...lol...

The girls got a little goofy, hiding behind a door, snacking on some thin mints...

Girl Scout Dinner

The girls had the 'Girl Scout dinner' tonight! Bella just started Daisies a month, or so, ago....and Olivia just joined Brownies! They love it!

Bella's troop sang 'Happy Birthday to Girl Scouts' on stage....Olivia's group just started up, so they didn't perform....

Dan and Sarah

My baby brother is getting married in September...and we've been trying to do some 'save the date' pictures for awhile now, but EVERY time we've planned a date to do them, we've had some extreme weather. It snowed today....haha, our luck....but we still got some done!! I have so, so many to go through...here are a few so far!

Hair

Ty needs a haircut so bad....but doesn't want to cut the red off!!

Green eggs

Olivia's class is doing a Dr. Seuss theme this week, in honor of Dr. Seuss's birthday, so last night Olivia and I made a little green eggs treat for her to bring for her class today!
