Moments

Moments come and go so quickly it seems. This week was full of moments to remember....

Moments like Brady sharing toys with Isaac....

Brady loves his cousin Isaac. He says his name so clear and he says it all the time. When Isaac wakes up Brady says "Isaac, Isaac, Isaac, Isaac" over and over again. When Isaac goes down for his nap Brady looks for him saying his name over and over again. He is so sweet.

Moments when these two are supposed to be picking up and I find them playing like this lol...

Moments when they start singing their ABC's together while making cookies....

Moments like this....

Moments when we eat green eggs and green milk and green mac and cheese during the day.



Hope your week was filled with moments that make your heart as happy as mine.

Rainbows

We learned all about rainbows last week and we did a few fun crafts to go along with it. First we made rainbows out of tissue paper and cotton balls. The kids had a blast making these and I love the way they turned out.

Then we made rainbow cupcakes. I think they enjoyed these the most. They both sat on the counter and watched as the colors turned as we mixed in the food coloring. So much fun.

{FoUr} - One more time

Four is quite the number for me lately. Ethan is four, Isaac is four months, I have 4 kids during the day...4 days a week, and there are four people in my family. And since last week was brought to you by the number four...I will share some 4 month pictures my dad took of Isaac. My dad and I had fun a few weeks ago taking these...

{Four} x's 2

Can you believe this little guy is four months old already! I wish he would slow down growing.

Isaac is 26.5 inches long and 16 lbs 14oz. Here are few things about Isaac:

1. He can roll over both directions. Started and mastered this on Monday lol.
2. Found his feet. So so cute
3. He can hold a rattle or a toy and bring it to his mouth.
4. Sucks his thumb or fingers...just depends, but usually it's his thumb.
5. Smiles all the time...he is a very happy boy.
6. A mommy's boy :)
7. Smiles for Ethan all the time
8. Bath time is his favorite.
9. Still working on the whole sleeping more at night....
10. Thinks daddy's hats and facial hair are funny
11. Sill makes the funniest facial expressions ever

{FOUR}

Yikes...I blink and the next thing I know it's March and I haven't blogged in a while.

Ethan turned four on February 13. It was a fabulous day outside...sunny and 50's. We have never been able to go outside for his birthday so it was a wonderful day! He wanted airplanes for his party this year so we did a little airplane birthday party.  Thank you to everyone who came and helped make his day special.

Ethan also had a four year check up. He is:
- 43 inches tall  and 43 pounds (95% for both)
- Very coordinated. Duh...
- Knows how to spell his name and the word book. He can also write his name. His Dr. was very impressed with this.
- Passed with way flying colors on everything they check out and said he was super smart and was a good kid. I couldn't agree more.

Wordy Random Thursday

My friend Andrea frequently does a wordless Wednesday blog. I usually always have something to say...and it's Thursday...so hence the title. :)

1. Maddie and Brady were very sick this week. Croup...Influenza and Laryngitis. This meant it has just been me and the boys all week.
2. I have found I have been rather lazy since it's just us three during the day.
3. I even took a nap on Tuesday...a very needed nap.
4. Yesterday we went and ate lunch with my mom and then we went to Jabbers to play. Ethan had a blast and I enjoyed talking to my mom for a bit.
5. Isaac has decided for the last 2 weeks that we should eat every 2.5 - 3 hours at night. Phew...this has made for one tired mommy.
6. Operation sleep longer at night has officially begun LOL. I am happy to report that  Isaac went from 11:15 to 4am. It was like a mini vacation for my eyes.
7. I have managed to do all the laundry this week...but sadly it still sits on my counter waiting to be folded and put away. Anyone is welcome to help with this task.
8. Ethan's birthday party was this weekend. It was super fun and I hope to post some pics and a full recap soon.
9. I still can't believe Ethan is 4....where did the time go.
10. Ethan and I have gotten out every train track we own today (and for those who have been here...that's a lot) and we did not even pick them up before getting out a new one....gasp....
11. Ethan has suggested we eat some ice cream and watch Chuggington on the couch together. I cannot think of  a better idea...so off I go.

Happy Birthday Ethan

Could someone please tell me how it is possible that Ethan is 4. It seems like just yesterday we were watching him learn to walk and run and talk.

Ethan is:

- My sweetheart -he has the kindest heart. He takes the time to make sure Isaac is okay and will get him anything he thinks he needs. When I am sick he comes to take care of me. He still loves to cuddle in the morning and he always has hugs and kisses to share. He genuinely cares about others feelings.

- 100% BOY - he loves wrestling, shooting hoops with daddy, trains, jumping off of anything I will let him. He is extremely athletic and coordinated. He can dribble with one hand while running, he can actually make it in a regulation height hoop and he is trying to learn a lay-up.

- Hilarious - Oh my the things this boy says. I am fairly certain he will be the class clown. For a refresh of how funny he is...click here.

- Constantly Moving - I don't think he ever sits. Getting him to sit at the table is hard work. As my dad would say...focus Ethan LOL.

- My BOY and I love him so so much and can't imagine what life would be without him.
