Spring is here!

A few weeks ago or so my brother, Mikey, came over for a family dinner. Before dinner we all played in the backyard. It was a blast as you can tell.

 I absolutely love this picture of my guys!

 Chris throwing Libby up in the air! 

 Here is a picture of my brother Chris chasing Samuel with his Bazooka Elbow. Chris would do this to my siblings and I all the time while growing up. Notice the next 3 pictures. The last one I think Sam tripped or something but these next three pictures are HILARIOUS to see in consecutive order:)

 I'm an Activity Days Leader for the 8-11 year old girls at church and at this particular activity, the girls were learning about First Aid and such and Sam and Noel were both used to show what to do in certain situations. In this picture, Sam is "choking" and is supposed to be a baby and the teacher was showing what to do to the baby if he/she is choking. I love how he just hung is arms over her lap. 

 More sports camp pictures. On this particular day he did hockey.

 Fun in the sun with the kiddos in the backyard.

They also had a picnic in the backyard.

 We've had a couple warmer days to where Chris turned the sprinklers on for the kiddos.

 Sam, for I'd say 3 weeks or so, was sick with 2-3 different sicknesses, one of them being Fifth's Disease (a.k.a Slapped Cheeks Disease). This is how his rash progressed. It was pretty terrible looking on his face.

 The kids with their Daddy building rockets.

 This is a picture of my arm after I clamped it in the stroller as I unfolded it to use for a walk. It hurt bad!

 St. Patricks Day. Noel had a fun little party at preschool on this particular day:)

 Another day of Sports Camp.

 Mr. Smiley.

 Noel likes to walk her "baby" (Lamb-y) in her stroller/buggy during some of our walks. She is such a good little mom. 

 Sam receiving his medal from finishing sports camp.

My happy Sam. He absolutely loved sports camp.

 Ok, so why do I have a picture of a bunch of random car seats you ask? Well, I'm what they call a "Helicopter Mom". I hover over my children probably a little too much and I cushion them in life a little too much. Which car seat do you think is Noel's (this picture is a picture of Noel's and her preschool classmates car seats before a field trip they were going to take).

 We met up with a couple of Noel's friends Paige and Gabe and their mom's at McDonald's to eat and play at the play place.

 We finally got Noel and Sam helmets for their bikes. Noel LOVES riding her bike at the park.

 We had a little picnic at the park with Kareena, Libby and Ty last week. It was a beautiful day and we had such a good time.
