February Recap, Part 2

More pictures from the last month!

Can you tell who was over taking pictures?!

I let them stay up to watch a movie while I napped before work. It was so quiet when I woke up that I was a little scared. But, I walked into the living room and found them last asleep. 

never a dull moment around the house!

B is loving wearing his boots lately

He's started saying "chee" when I ask him to say cheese. 

These two love Rilynn!

We made a trip to the Botanic Gardens last week. It was beautiful and not crowded at all. We played and played and had a great picnic lunch.

A new area in MBB. A giant pile of dirt-the boys were in heaven for a long time!

February Recap, Part 1

I'm so bad at blogging, so I'm doing monthly recaps now. Whoops...

February started off with a bang! We welcomed our new niece/cousin into the family on the first. She was born in Nashville, so once we got the call that she was on her way, we threw our things together and drove that way. The boys (plus Rilynn) thought it was a grand adventure to stay in a hotel!

super excited about our suite!

we put the kiddos in their pjs, since we arrived around 9

The next day, we were able to go the zoo while we were waiting for baby C to make her appearance. The Nashville zoo is amazing! They have an enormous playground that we spent a lot of time on before even looking at the animals.

You can pet kangaroos! They are surprisingly very soft. 

We were excited!

Baby Kyle Jade Connell finally made her appearance! Unfortunately, we only got to see her for a few minutes, and the boys didn't get to meet her at all, because she ended up having to go the NICU for a few days. But, she's tiny and beautiful and so perfect!

My sleeping buddy. He hogged the entire bed. I don't see how people bedshare with their kiddos. I can't stand it! The snuggles were great until about 2 AM.

We celebrated Valentine's Day at school. I was able to go back and forth between both the older boys' classes while B stayed with YaYa.

He thinks he's so cool!

Fire Museum, Outside Fun, and Other Random Things

We went to the Fire Museum downtown a few weeks ago for a birthday party for our friend, Brady. We had never been before and the boys loved it! They had a lot of fun dressing up, "driving" the fire engine, and putting out fires. 

cheesin' so hard 

this lift actually works and raises into the air-so fun!

putting out a fire 

he could barely walk because the coat was so heavy ha

my three favorite boys!

IKEA date! I will not take all 3 boys in there for a very long time, but I handle taking one at a time haha

Stylish while napping in the car after jumping all morning at Jump n Jamz

pouting because I made him go outside. He was also very tired.

trampoline fun!

more trampoline fun while B was napping 

can you tell he loves holding Rilynn?!

snuggling with our sweet baby girl cousin 

bless it. We've cut out naps because it makes bedtime go soooo much smoother, but on some days we struggle. 

January in Review

It's hard to believe that it's almost February already! Crazy to think about time passing so quickly. Here are some pictures from our month!

Baby loves to dress up!

the boys are really into board games lately. They got several for Christmas and we love to play them (especially when B is asleep ha)

B didn't understand why I was wearing someone other than just him! I got to babysit my sweet niece Rilynn while Jamie ran to the store 

baby in a shopping cart! He never ever does this so he thought he was so big!
