The Joys of having a day off with the kiddos!


 Vera goes as fast as she can to the bathroom anytime she hears the water running. I walked in and saw her trying to get herself in her brothers bath!
 Fin wanted to show me the many faces he can make






 I finally made my picture board...now I just need to put up the rest of my decorations- its only been 9 months...and I might move this to the hall if I can find the shelves I want above my couch.
 Fin has been begging for months to go bowling because we pass a bowling alley on the way to church every week. So I finally took him yesterday and he loved it! Of course he wanted to play in the arcade part too, but aint nobody got time for that! And I paid for TWO games! and this place was cheap! The total came to SIX dollars! 2 games for 2 people plus shoes!


 Vera stayed in her seat and just watched us bowl :) She was so good!
We then made a snack trip to target and I found Vera the cutest Summer hat!
 And I just love this chubby face!!
Vera has been a little on the cranky side the last week or so and yesterday she hit her lip on the corner of our foot rest and she was bleeding and I just so happened to notice she is getting 2 more top teeth! I can't believe she is already going to have a mouth full!

Spring Break Happenings- photo overload

 We had a birthday! Vera is 10mo old and full of Sass! I am betting she is like 22lbs. She has 4 teeth and LOVES her food. She eats just about anything we eat. She loves music and starts dancing the second she hears any type of music, even hymns in sacrament meeting.  Bath time is her favorite and she absolutely loves playing with her brother and follows him everywhere. Her favorite song right now is the itsy bitsy spider. She loves peek-a-boo and claps at everything. She has gotten to be really loud and still says "oo. oo. oo." at everything.  She says mama and dad all the time now and a ton of gibberish like she has stories to tell.  Fin loves that she is getting bigger and he plays with her so well.
Fin has new dance moves.
Her first sucker...and no one could take it away from her.

We went to Chattanooga for the day and took the kids to the Aquarium there. We are such smart parents...we forgot the baby bjorn and the stroller so Luke and I took turns carrying this little turkey.
Fin's Favorite were the stingrays, but his arms weren't long enough to touch them.
He hated the butterfly exhibit. It was like his worst nightmare with things flying at him like crazy.
The penguins new how to put on a show and were quite entertaining.
Sharks are my nightmare.

We had a healthy lunch at buffalo wild wings.


This rock climbing place just opened up and made us think of Meadow :)
Our next stop was Ruby Falls.
It's a cave 1200 ft below ground that has a waterfall 1/2 through.
Not the ideal thing to do with children...especially when it's a guided tour.



Learning how to slide on her own

Fin helped me plant flowers since it is spring...little did we know that 2 days later it would be snowing.



Fin also went on a mommy date and I took him to Goodwill, Hobby lobby (where he picked out these army men), Steak n' Shake and Home depot for our flowers.
