The leprechauns redeemed themselves!

The leprechauns forgot (i.e. were too lazy) to come to our house in the wee hours of St. Patrick's Day morning. Rex noticed. I told him they must of been too busy and would probably come by when we were gone.
So the kids went to a friends house while I "ran errands". While we were gone, the leprechauns made their appearance, leaving behind their green handprints all over our kitchen and walls! Luckily it washes off. They also made green jello, had a green cake baking in the oven and left candy on the way up to the boys room where they played with all their toys, jumped on their beds and made a GIGANTIC mess. Which is pretty hard to do in an already messy room. My kids were pretty excited and I was glad they were happy.

Brothers

I love my three guys. Had to capture them hanging out after church the other day. It was pretty cute.

We also did a little posing. No, my kids faces aren't dirty. Rex decided they were having a "leprechaun party" so he drew beards on them! Luckily in washable marker.

Blessing day

This weekend we had loads of family, loads of food and loads of fun in celebration of Oliver getting blessed. It was so nice that everyone traveled here in order to share this moment with us and meet the new little guy. He met 4 new grandparents, in addition to the 2 he already knew. Our kids are pretty spoiled having 6 grandparents. He was showered in gifts, as was Sam since his birthday was a couple weeks ago. Rex got a few "sorry we didn't get you anything" gifts as well. :)

It was a beautiful blessing with a powerful Spirit. My husband did an amazing job and I am so grateful for him and the Priesthood. This little guy is pretty special. I am absolutely in love with him.

2 month check-up

Somehow I got a chubbers this time. Rex was a twig although he had a huge head, Sam was a bit larger, but Oliver is a TANK! He started a pound heavier at birth and hasn't stopped since. This was confirmed at his 2 month check-up the other day. 13 lbs 8 oz, 90th percentile! He is also 97 percentile for height and 97 percentile for head circumference! I love my chubbilicious baby!

Sam's 4th birthday!

I can't believe my little Sammy is 4 years old! In many ways he still seems like my baby even with a new baby because he was for so long. Unfortunately though he is growing up. I really wish I could freeze him. Well, freeze him 6 months ago because the last few months he has gotten a little defiant. I know it doesn't seem possible but this adorable boy does get defiant sometimes. Overall though he is definitely the best behaved, chill little boy.
I hope he never outgrows his "Boston" accent. His R sound is TO. DIE. FOR.
LOVE YOU SAM!!
Here are some pictures of his special day.

Can you find our boys and ViBeka?

I think we have too many stuffed animals...
