Big Jack on the big moose thing.
The whole crew plus Heather.

Kate and her favorite hunter Uncle Stan.

While we were in Winona we went to a benefit for someone. It was quite chaotic with all 3 of them. Everyone wanted cupcakes and wanted them RIGHT NOW!!

Ella took off her shoes somewhere. She looks like a little redneck.

Ella passed out on the couch. And yes, that it is red clay dirt on her feet.

Little Girls in Costumes

The girls are going to be in my mom's recital this May. When we were in Winona, they tried on their new costumes. If they weren't cute, I don't know what is!

Another Pretty Day

We took advantage of the nice weather and went to the zoo. Always dicey when I take them all by myself. But everybody was sweet and we had a good time. Another plus-we got to wear spring clothes!

I told her no. I got this look.



Waving to her many admirers.
Kate and stinky sheep. Anyone have any ideas on how to break this habit??
Jack was trying so hard to teach his sisters how to sit "criss cross applesauce." They weren't interested.

What Jack does, Ella does.

It's Almost Spring!!

As much as I love fall and winter, I am so ready for spring. Not summer, just spring. I'm ready to be able to play outside everyday, see green on the trees, have picnics, and all that stuff. I am also SO ready to pull out the kids' spring clothes. I am so tired of seeing the same things on them over and over. Hurry up spring. Please.

Kate was the last to finish our picnic. She took her own sweet time and could have cared less that brother and sister had left her.


My three munchkins.
Kate and Ella vying for the attention of this little boy. Kate reeled him in by offering him potato chips.

Making the "biggest leaf pile ever." So says Jack.

Popsicles!!
