Conner Prairie

A couple of weeks back we ventured up to Conner Prairie with our friends the Murphy's.  It was a gorgeous day and the kids loved being able to run around outside.  I wasn't able to capture too many pictures, but did manage to get a few...
Lambs that had just been born that morning!
Milking the cow in the discovery area.
Love that they actually have water coming out of the utters!
Once Theo discovered there was water, I could barely keep him away!
Feeding the horse carrots and apples.
Doing a little planting!
Building a wheel is hard work!
Working on his own little project :)
Theo is always entertaining to Cormac :)

Maryn and her friend, Adriana, on a school bus.  One came to visit school and they were so excited when they got to take a ride around the parking lot!  It's the little things :)
Yep, into the paint again!  This time it got the face :)

How old are you mommy??

Way back in April the kids and Jeremy loved on me lots for my birthday :)  We kinda did a two day celebration because we had something on my actual birthday.  The day after we took dinner (sushi, grilled cheese and cupcakes) to the park and had lots of fun playing.  Just recently Jeremy and i actually got at a night out and enjoyed a yummy dinner at Oceanaire.  So thankful for all the joy this life has experienced!

Happy Birthday Mommy!
a new diaper bag!!
I love this little threesome so so much!!



Easter with Jeremy's family

The weekend after Easter we celebrated with Jeremy's family.  The kids had an egg hunt and of course baskets.  They love being with their cousins!

Theo and Stone
The boys!
Cormac found an egg and a wind blown hairdo :)
The egg hunters!
Some of the eggs had money in them and then the kids could go to "the store" to purchase items.

Easter...

Happy Easter! What a whirlwind day it seemed to be!  The night before we typically color eggs, but this year we just didn't get to it and that was just fine.  While Maryn has talked about the Easter bunny some, she really isn't that interested and has actually been talking more about the true meaning of Easter.  I know a lot of this is coming from her class at church, but she also loves to read in her Jesus Bible Storybook.  The other night Jeremy said they read about Jesus dying on the cross, how he rose again and what that means.  It is exciting for us to hear her talking about what she is learning at church, and to see the impression God is making on her little heart.
On Easter morning we had baskets and attempted an egg hunt, but ran out of time. After church we had lunch with my family and did a great egg hunt outside.  Theo was a little machine in picking up eggs!  We made a quick stop at Jeremy's parents (celebrating with them next weekend) and then headed home. All in all it was a wonderful day...so thankful for a savior that gave his life for us!

Family pictures seem to be just a little more challenging these days :)
The kids with Mimi and Ceta.
Theo is just at that age where picture time is not his thing!
There's a good one!
Love it!

just being cute :)

Playing at the park
Theo would never crawl all the way through the tunnel.
He would go halfway and then crawl backwards back out.
Checking out his shadow?
Maryn has a new thing for tire swings!  She has been asking Jeremy for one all winter.
Wait for it...
BIG smile :)
That was exhausting!
A little Saturday morning paper reading

Two months old!

Two months old already??  My how time flies!  Cormac is such a happy little guy :) He loves to smile and lately has the best little laugh.  He loves to smile at Maryn and she is so cute with him.  Most of the time he is trying to dodge Theo's kisses which he gets often.  At the two month checkup he was up to 14 lbs. and 2.5 oz and 24.5 inches long.  The boy loves to eat!!  The best part is that he has started sleeping through the night more often.  The other night he slept 7 hours!!! He still naps a lot during the day, but those big blue eyes are pretty alert when they are open :)
