Hodge Podge

Everybody in! Everett starting finally sleeping in his crib about a month ago (3 1/2 mo) when he started sleeping all night. (Did I mention when he started sleeping through the night it was 12 or 13 hours?? He is amazing. He eats at 6:30 and goes down and then wakes up between 7:30 and 8. Amazing. ) Anyway, so now that the crib is being used it is really exciting and the girls wanted to try it out too! So we let them all get in together one day. Too cute.
Here is Everett's first time in the exersaucer. He wasn't so sure at first. He'll grow to love it, I'm sure.
Look at this cute family! (minus me of course!)

Teething

Our sweet baby boy was abnormally fussy yesterday. Today we figured it out. A tooth (or maybe 2?) is coming in! See how unhappy our happy baby was? Oh, and he just started using the exersaucer too! He is growing up way too fast!!

Sleeping Beauty

Our sweet Belle dropped her nap right before Everett was born (she has impeccable timing...she dropped her morning nap right before Lucy was born). She now has an hour or so of "rest time" while Lucy is napping and every once in a while this happens...

Marshmallows

Tonight after dinner we built a fire and roasted marshmallows in the back yard. We have done this several times before, but tonight I actually remembered to take some pictures! The girls just love it.











Here's what Everett was doing while the rest of us roasted marshmallows:

Happy Birthday Adri!

We went to our friend Adri's birthday party today. All the girls dressed up like Princesses and her parents got Princess Belle to make an appearance! The girls were thrilled to get to have the "real Belle" there! So fun! Listening to the "real Belle" read a story

Playing "Belle says"

Dancing with Belle
Lucy LOVED holding Belle's hand. She didn't want to let go! She also kept trying to climb in Belle's lap!
Belle didn't actually dance with Belle. She danced like this by herself beside Belle. Sometimes she is so funny.
Josh and Natalie, the party was a HUGE hit! Way to go! :)

A couple pics of us enjoying this glorious weather

We have been LOVING the spring-like weather the last few days. It really boosts my spirits! I didn't remember to take many pics, but today I did snap a few.

Lucy getting ready to go outside in her fairy costume:

This is us in real life. Lucy is dressed as a fairy and Belle is sporting tights and no shirt with a pair of tights tied around her chest as "Joseph clothes" (like Mary and Joseph). And they are actually playing in our neighbors yard in this pic! I love that Belle is helping Lucy on the slide.
Daddy and Everett watching those crazy girls
Everett's first time in the swing. He LOVED it! He was cracking up.
Here's hoping this spring weather sticks!!

Sweet Everett

Everett is such a sweet baby! We are so blessed! He is so calm and content all the time! He is a good eater and as of a couple weeks ago, a great sleeper! I said for a while that he would be the perfect baby if he would start sleeping through the night. Well, he is perfect now. ;) At 3 1/2 months he started sleeping 12 hours a night! The same hours as the girls! Actually most nights he sleeps even longer than they do! (They sleep 7-7 and a few nights Ev has gone 6:30-8!) I am SO excited about this because it means I get to sleep too! Yay Everett!!

He is 4 months now and at his dr appt weighed in at 15 lbs 5 oz. He is a chunky little thing, but we think his rolls are pretty cute!

We are all crazy about him still!

Little Me

This mouse dress was mine when I was little. Its so cute to see it on Lucy!

Homemade Soap

During our snow week we found lots of fun things to do at home. One of the girls favorite things was making soap. Our friend, Susan Stevenson makes soap and gave the girls a soap making kit right before we got snowed in. They loved using it! We made 8 fun bars of soap...here's what 4 of them looked like:

BOY!

I guess its good he's watching football since he's laying on a pink blanket. Poor guy, he's surrounded by pink!
