Slip n slide

Bryn has been bugging me to play in the sprinklers, so on Mother's day I decided to pull out the slip and slide so they could play. 

Lu loved it :)

Although the big girls would run by and splash her, she didn't mind. 

I tried putting a 6 month swimsuit on this chunk and couldn't even get it over her thighs. She's wearing a 12-18 month suit! 

Yay for warm weather & sunshine! These girls love to be outside :)

My Little Loves

Funny Friday

The kids always do and say things that make me laugh. Brynlee is at the age where she says a lot of funny things now. Things that I always want to write down and remember so we can laugh at them when she's older, so I thought I would start a "Funny Friday" post and share them with you here!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We always take "rocket ship" rides to the moon (aka airplane) and they also like to use my legs as a slide. Well, I recently discovered that I bruised my tailbone when I had Ellie so we've had to take a break.

The other day, when I was laying on the floor Bryn tried climbing on me and I said "Be careful, Mommy's bone is bruised." So she got off...

Then Scarlett tried climbing on me and Bryn said "No Scarlett! Mommy's brain is loose!"

Mommy's bone is bruised, Mommy's brain is loose. Same thing. Ha!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yesterday, as I was cleaning up after dinner Brynlee said "Now intrrrrrrroducinnnng Scarlett!!" And in walked a butt naked Scarlett. 

There's never a dull moment around here ;)

Devil Pups

This morning they had a "Devil Pups" training for the kids on base. It's pretty much a kiddie version of bootcamp and they become mini Marines. I signed Brynlee up to do it with her friend Marissa and she was so excited to be a Marine like Daddy :)

She did it! Our mini Marine :)

(Here's a little video of the girls doing PT.)

Let the packing begin...

Have I mentioned that we're moving?!?

3 months from today we're....

Yippee!! We're excited for lots of new family adventures :)

Easter

On Saturday, Stuart's battalion had an Easter party for the families. Normally he doesn't get to show up to these things until later, so I decided we would wait and leave when it started. Instead, I got a text saying to come earlier....go figure! I was up with the baby from 4:30-6, made cupcakes at 9am that I forgot to make the night before, spent 20 mins looking for a shirt, got everyone ready while Ellie was screaming her head off as we're trying to leave, pulled Easter baskets down from the closet only to have last years candy fly all over the place, somehow managed to put makeup on in between there, iced cupcakes as we were walking out the door, and made it in time to see Daddy for a little bit! 

The girls came home and decorated more cupcakes.

And dyed eggs...

Stuart had duty that night, so it was just the girls & me the next morning. 

They woke up and had fun digging into their baskets.

Then we read the Easter story from their Bible.

And they made this craft.

This little girl melts me in her Easter bonnet.

Her first Easter :)

We hope you all had a blessed Easter!
