CamWow App fun!

A few days ago Josh found an awesome app on our phones called "Cam Wow", it does some really funny things to pictures, it makes people look fat, distorted, changes the color black/white, etc. We have been having sooooo much fun with the app. We take pics of the kids, each other, etc and of course, have to make fun of the picture! Josh even went as far as to change his Facebook profile picture to one of the pics, haha....Im not that brave since I dont want to scare everyone :  )

I posted the pics of my beautiful family.....enjoy the laugh haha!!!

The cutest cry you ever did hear!

So, Caleb is now a little over 13 weeks and as I posted earlier, he has definitely found his vocals. He coos and makes all kinds of noises, its quite cute. If you mimic him, he will keep going and laugh! Another thing that he does is cry in the cutest way possible. Sometimes, its hard to stay focused on him crying, because I love his cute little cry.....sounds weird, I know! I wasnt able to get a perfect video of him crying because he will start crying, then laugh, then cry, then sleep, etc. so the video below is the best I could get. His little cry almost sounds like he is playing because its so soft and sweet sounding, hehe!!
What a sweet little boy he is and I am having the best time watching him grow and learn the world around him!!!

Sun??? Is that You???

WOW!! We woke up this morning and the blue sky was clear of.....RAIN CLOUDS! How exciting! It has been B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L all day, and the temperature was even warm enough for no coats! After naps, the kids had their snacks outside, I think my floors were excited about that one....no crumbs! After they were done eating, Nathan looked at me and said "mama, I cant go back inside, the sun is out"! Even he knows to take advantage of the nice weather hehe! So, I pulled out their painting booklets from Grammy and Pop Pop. I have to admit,that was quite convenient since I was able to finish the laundry, vacuum, dust, and prepare for dinner while they were busy outside....and of course, Caleb timed his nap perfectly for this afternoon! Couldnt have asked for a better day! Woo hoo!!!

I wanted to prove to everyone that Seattle does have sun occasionally!
 (I am framing this in my house for extra vitamin d) hehe

Happy Birthday to my Hubby!

So, today is Josh's 28th birthday!!!! We celebrated it Sunday and had his favorite dinner, steak, loaded potatoes, veggies, and ice cream cake. YUMMY, I definitely love his birthday.....good food LOL! He got a new coat and some new cowboy boots. It was a great day and we all had a great time. Yesterday, the kids and I made his other favorite, chocolate cupcakes with white frosting. I cant stand white frosting, so I made them in time for him to bring them to work to share on his birthday hahaha! Of course, I had to give the kids one and wow, talk about crazy sugar highs they got on. I dont think I have ever seen them talk, run, dance, etc as fast as they did yesterday. It was like watching someone fast forward them!!
HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY AMAZING, YOUNG, NEVER AGING, AWESOME HUBBY!!! I LOVE YOU!!

Here are some pics from this past weekends birthday celebration!

Trying on the new coat

New cowboy boots

Spring is in the air

So, this weekend, the weather was BEAUTIFUL!!! We were able to take the kids outside all afternoon yesterday and go for a walk, and just enjoy the sun. Its neat to see all the flowers blooming and trees budding right now, things are definitely gearing up for Spring, WOO HOO!!!
Saturday, after the we all went for a walk, the kids decided to color with some chalk. Next thing I know, they have the brooms out and are "sweeping" up their "mess"! It was pretty cute! I dont know where they come up with some of the things they do or say, but they sure keep life fun!
The pictures are some random shots from the weekend, the kids said they needed pictures of themselves in the sun, haha!

Pretty Pretty Princess!

So yesterday, Lindsey was watching some videos of herself and Caleb on my phone and asked if I could make another video of her. This girl LOVES the camera, she will find a camera anywhere and make sure there are pictures of her on it! She strikes poses, makes funny songs, and then afterwards, needs to see the video of herself and laugh! This girl is a total goof, but she is adorable!

Children are a gift from God!

I was browsing a devotional site this morning and came across this poem and thought it was so sweet! I truly feel Blessed by God every day to have my three babies in my life. Enjoy!

Raising Children For The Lord

It’s such an awesome privilege
And a big responsibility
God has given to us as parents
This wonderful opportunity
To raise our precious children
And instil into their lives
The wonder and amazement
Of the love of Jesus Christ

So they will learn to trust in Him
And worship and to pray
To love others with the love of God
And to honour and obey
As parents we’ve been entrusted
To raise them in God’s love
To be there to encourage them
When they feel like giving up

And to be there just to listen
When life deals some painful blows
And comfort them when they feel afraid
And when tears begin to flow
To share with them those joyful times
The precious moments in their lives
When doors begin to open up
And opportunities arise

Through everything they face in life
Let’s be there cheering them on
For we only have one chance at this
For childhood soon is gone
So let’s rely on Father God
To raise them to become
Men or Women who trust in Him
And in His precious Son.

iPhone Craziness!!

So, on Saturday, I walked through the kitchen only to see the most ridiculous sight. Nathan, had lined up our iPhones on the counter, in a row. Doesnt sound like anything ridiculous right? But when I saw FOUR iPhones lined up, its crazy haha! I had an older iPhone and then when AT&T gave Josh and I our upgrades, we traded them in for iPhone 4's. Since the kids were used to being allowed to play a few preschool games on my old phone, we removed all apps other then kid games, and let them use my old phone to play with. Well, since there were two kids, both of which wanted to play with the phone, when Grammy got her upgrade, Nathan pretty much sweet talked his way into swiping her old one as well.....leaving us with FOUR phones. Its crazy I know, but pretty funny. Anyhow, I was able to snap a quick picture while they were lined up.....quite funny!!

The two on the left are the ones the kids play
with the most, hence all the fingerprints!

Tunnel tent fun!!

So, this week the kids were surprised with an awesome new play tent. It has a tunnel to crawl through that leads them to the tent! They LOVE it. The kids were so excited and played with it non stop for hours that day! Nathan even asked me if he could bring it to his room for nap time haha! Lindsey has been taking a few books into the tent and will sit there quietly and read while Nathan likes to roll around in it, pick it up and throw it, etc. Such a boy that kid is!!!

While the two older kids played, Caleb got Grammy time!! Such a spoiled cuddle bug!!

Saturday morning breakfast...

So this blog is kind of a double subject one. Here is a video of Caleb. He is 11 weeks tomorrow! I cannot believe how fast time is going by with this kiddo, every day is a new adventure and he is fitting in so well. Perfect final addition to the family!!! :  )

On another subject, every Saturday Josh makes all of us breakfast. The kids get up, and know that they can help choose what we will have. Sometimes its waffles, or pancakes, muffins, etc. Nathan actually tells us now what he wants and helps Josh make it, its too cute! Here are some pictures from this past weekend. These kiddos are definitely daddy's little helpers.

Stirring away : )

Happy Family!

Relaxin our Sunday away......

So today, we headed over to Grammy and Pop Pop's house since they just got back into town. They were Blessed to watch the kids while Josh and I ran some errands (haha, okay.....maybe Josh and I were Blessed too)!! Anyhow, we had a great relaxing day with them and here are two pics from the day!

Here is a close up of Caleb, he fell asleep on Grammy while we were gone! He is such a cuddle bug, he is ALWAYS happy when being cuddled!!

Here is daddy and Nathan, both are playing with their phones. Guess they have more in common then just looks, haha

Twins? I think so....

So, I took a picture of Caleb this morning and remembered a similar pic I took of Nathan. I know I posted this same pic of Nathan a few days ago, but I had to put the two pics next to one another. Nathan and Caleb look so much alike, they literally are twins, only 3 1/2 years apart LOL! Nathan is the lighter colored one, Caleb is darker, but other then that, they have so much similarities, its neat!! I sure love my boys!!
