Spring Cleaning!!!

I love spring time and the beautiful new life surrounding us! In our little corner of the world we don't really have a long spring, we have mostly cold winter and hot summer, thankfully our spring has been rainy and cold so we can stay indoors and spring clean!!!! i love to take that time once a year to really get down and clean the nitty gritty. The kids have been a huge help and so far in two Saturdays of working hard we finally have the kitchen and dining room done!! This Saturday we're on to the living room and bedrooms!! You might think I'm a slave-driver (my spring cleaning list is 3 pages long) but the kids are happy to help!! As you can see by the smiles on their faces while they are "mopping" the kitchen floor!!! Cleaning time is family time!!!
P.S. I promise I gave them rags with a soapy bucket to wash the floor, it was their idea to get the toothbrushes!!!

Baby Jacob @ 6 months!!

Seriously this little guy is a cutie and he makes us all smile!!! These pics and video are a month old but they're still cute and I wanted to share!

Fun stuff

Sis got these glasses from school and thought they'd look perfect on baby, what a cutie!!

JJ & JD wanted to watch Toy Story 3 and these aren't just any fans, they had to dress up and become their favorite characters!! In this pic JJ is saying, "There's a snake in my boot!" and JD is saying, "To infinity and beyond!"

Seriously, it's been 5 months!!!

Here's some quick updates and pics!! Easter at our house, the kids all dressed up for church and then dying eggs after we got home!!!

Call Me!

Gramma, I miss you, Call me!!

I can't believe he's almost 2 months!!!

Jacob is getting so big. Its been so fun to see him smile and coo and talk. Once he's had a good nap and he has a full tummy, he's all smiles and talks a lot. He works so hard to get any noise out, sometimes he'll start waving his arms and kicking his legs, then he opens his mouth and nothing comes out, darn it!! We love him tons, he is such a blessing to our family!!

From 3 to 4 is definitely harder than it looks!!

Jacob's true feelings about coming to our family!!!

Family pics my Mom took for us on campus before she left

Each night I wonder where the day went and what I got accomplished!! I'm so far behind on the blog and I feel so bad about so much over the past few months that I've left out!! I wish I could say that I'll be better and make it up but there really are no guarantees at this point!!! I have lots of pics I need to download from my camera but here is a mish-mash of what's on the computer from the past month!!
