Artwork

I thought I would share some of Brooke's latest artwork. It is funny the stuff that she thinks up to draw. Love that girl! I'm sure these will be worth millions someday. 
Jonah & The Whale: That's Jonah inside the whale, waves are water, sun & clouds above
Ruby from "Max & Ruby" taking pictures and wearing glasses. That's her brother Max next to her.
Apple Kid. ? The curly thing coming out of the head is a pony tail. I love the eyelashes!
She traced her own hands, something she asks me to do for her on occasion.
What's this you ask? A pirate of course!

She prefers to work in different mediums at times. Here we have chalk on our kitchen island wood. Now that I look at it, this may be more the work of her helpful assistants rather than her. :)

Hangin' Out

There is not a whole lot to report lately. We have just been enjoying the weather and checking out new parks when we can. Spring is my favorite time of the year by far. The girls are growing so fast I think. Sometimes I wish I could pause time because they are all really funny and cute and so sweet!
Claire surprised me the other day and was the first crib jumper of the twins. I thought for sure Keely would be the one, but nope! I think Claire was scared straight though because she has not tried climbing out of her crib again. Claire is also talking up a storm, like rambling in long sentences, but most of the time I can't understand what she is saying. She is really silly, almost always happy, and she's still my cuddlebug.
Keely has begun her two's early I think. Miss Attitude is following in the steps of big sis Brooke. She hates getting in her car seat with a passion! She also throws dramatic tantrums, you know, the ones where you throw your body to the ground but you are very careful to lay your head down gently. She is really silly, and totally sweet. She loves to give sloppy kisses and she pats my back when she hugs me. She still has the best belly laugh. 
Brooke is getting way too big. She says things like, "If all else fails..", and "I don't know about this..". I am realizing the phrases that I say too often when I hear Brooke repeating them, things like "sure", "alright", and "chill out". She is a great big sister like always, and like any big sis she likes to have things that are just for her not to share. Sometimes when I give her something, she asks, "Is this for only me?" I guess she has to share a lot. I absolutely love it when she surprises me with random hugs and kisses and "I love you"'s. I am in denial that she is almost four years old. Brooke most certainly is not though, because she will tell anyone who will listen that she is already four. 
We are looking forward to spending time with our family members that will be visiting us next month. I am also making a special trip to Chicago by myself to visit Kelly. Exciting stuff! 
Here are a couple of pictures from the weekend.

Blue Skies and Rainbows

We had a really fun playdate this morning with friends at the park. The weather was so so beautiful and I was reminded of all the blessings in my life and how much I have to be thankful for.

Let's Go Fly a Kite!

We had a pretty laid back weekend here. One highlight was getting out to the park to fly kites. The girls were pretty excited to get there.
B, C, K

 The wind was cooperating, and it was fun. The babies kept trying to run off to see the "Quack-Quacks" in the water nearby. Good thing we brought tortillas and bread for the ducks! 
Happy Spring!
