Cowboy x 3

They love to be anything but what they are. This day they were cowboys - very loud cowboys! As you can see in a few of the pictures, we only have two cowboy hats, so they make due with their pretty, white, church going dress up hat - almost like a cowboy hat...okay, nothing like a cowboy hat, but don't tell them that! :-)

Warmer Weather

We had a glimpse of spring last weekend with temps in the mid to upper 40's. We were so greatful for some warmer and sunny weather. The kids even thought it was warm enough for some ice treats outside. We are now back in the mid 30's and rain is expected for the next 7 days, but we are not going to complain - no flooding in this area. We continually think of all of you that are having to deal with the flooding in ND right now.

The Garden Process Continues

Jed thought it would be a good idea to pot the garden seeds IN THE HOUSE with three kids! He is braver (or dumber) than me. (Just kidding dear.) Actually it went pretty well, no major messes and all of the seeds were planted, I think. Now they sit in the laundry room waiting for sunny warm days - which seem to be off in the distance...way off in the distance.

No More Sassy!

We took the leap a week an a half ago and decided it was time for Carley to give up her "sassy" (pacifier). So, Friday night we cut off the tips and gave them to her to throw away. She did great. Fussy for about 3 minutes and I had to lay with her until she went to sleep. The next day for nap, even better and Saturday night, she asked where they were at but no fussing and went to sleep on her own. We are now sassy free at our house (at least for the next 8 weeks). She is a big girl now! Yeah! (Sometimes I think we are more attached to those darn things than the kids are). :-)

Little House On the Prairie

My Mom was going through some boxes from a while back (no I will not use the word OLD BOXES). She found this dress that she made for me for Easter one year. Kyra loved dancing and running in it. She reminded me of the girls on Little House On the Prairie.

Gavin's New Bed

We are trying to come up with creative ways to save space in our "cute" house (isn't that what we call little things?). So, Jed has spent the last week using his shop skills and his "garage toys" to make Gavin a new loft bed. He has had LOTS of help and that has saved SO much time?! But it is done and Gavin loves the bed and they all love the toy storage/fort under it.

Great Grandma Wolf

The kids enjoyed a few days with Great Grandma while she visited MN from Ohio. Gavin is already talking about seeing "that Great Grandma" when we go for the wedding (little does he know how far away September is). :-)
