freedom.

This, my friends, is a sign of occasional freedom for me :) What a champ...Case took to the bottle right away and of course he had two little helpers along the way.

Are you seeing all 3 hands in there? :) They were eager to help!

Good boy Case!

pre-k ball.

Cole had her Pre-k Ball a couple of weeks ago. She was quite confused why she should wear something fancy to a ball. She walked out of her room wearing a St. Louis Cards tshirt saying she was ready for the "ball" game :) HA! love it!!!


Our family photo.


Cole with some of her girlfriends from class.


Cole loves her buddy, Easton! Don't worry all, they're just buddies :)

Singing the "Itsy Bitsy Spider"!

Camden had to join in :)

Look at those handsome boys!

That's a lot of Pre-k kids in one room!

LOVE :)

Cheese!

One of Cole's teachers, Mrs. Beck and her baby Brennen.

tummy time.

Case is a fan of tummy time but unfortunately he just gets cozy and doesn't do a lot of exercising his neck muscles :)

"spohn"taneous zoo day.

Last weekend the Spohn girls called to see about visiting on their way to the zoo and we decided to join them. What a fun trip!

Camden and Sydney were checking out the meerkats.

What a monkey!

Cole and Mabry climbing up high!

We were a pretty HOT crew after the playground!

Thanks for the fun girls!

quiet moments.

Case has a lot of quiet moments, sleeping, however, we really are treasuring the growing amount of quiet moments with this little man AWAKE! We sure love you buddy!

summer's beginning.

We were finally able to get out in the water on Sunday and the kids had a ball :)

They also got creative on the slide.

Waiting for the brother to slide down...

She thought she was hilarious...

Check these two out...Camden says, "Sissy, this is my Sissy"!!! What a proud moment :)

treasure.

I SOOOOO treasure these moments. I really try to just take it all in...his smell, his soft skin, the way he melts into my body, his sounds...all of him! It goes by all too quickly and my awareness of this is increasing in exponential quantities as our baby girl is about to turn FOUR!!!

You're a treasure Case James!

yawn.

parties, parties, and more parties.

It would seem that EVERY kid in Cole's class has a birthday in the month of May...one of them is a sweet little boy named Andrew that just loves Cole. They're great little buddies :)

smile.

You will have to forgive me if you're seeing this and are not an eager family member or friend that's excited to see 3,000 pictures of our kids because I really couldn't choose a couple of favorites on this one.
These two love one another at such a sweet level already...this makes me smile...SMILE really big :)
