My Kids, 3!

It's been awhile since I've written!  I have been slacking on the camera, and busy I guess!  Life is good though, how could it not be with these 3 monsters!  



I sure do love them.  I have been waiting for the "having 3 kids is the hardest" thing to set in still, but I don't think it's coming I've decided!  We lucked out, and the transition was smooth, and things have been good.  And trust me, it's not because I'm a super mom or anything!  I think it has a lot to do with this little angel!

He sleeps SO well, so incredible after this crazy non-sleeper (see picture below)!  I have not had almost any sleep deprivation since Owen was like a month!  He now sleeps almost 12 hours every night with only one feeding during the night.  I love him SO SO much!  haha 


Brenna got an educational video game thingy for her birthday, but this little guy thinks it's his.  And I thought it was so cute how he was crossing his legs!

Owen is  happy boy!  He is drooling big time in these pictures, but he loves going on my legs like this!



He spends a lot of time in his swing, usually only when he's sleeping, but sometimes when he's awake and happy too!




I have been having smoothies most mornings for breakfast (as another stab at the "lose the pregnancy weight" thing) and Mason is my smoothie buddy.  Brenna won't touch them because she is the pickiest eater I've ever met, and Mason drinks at least half of mine, so I started making extra for him too even though he also eats a hearty breakfast first
!


Lastly, Here is a picture of all 3 of my kids around the same age.  I keep having people say Owen looks more like my side of the family and more like Brenna than Mason and Mason looks just like Jeremy.  Personally, I cannot tell AT ALL, but I do think that they all look pretty similar.  The second picture of Brenna (she's on the left) isn't great, I know, but it's one where I thought she looked especially like Owen (and one of the few I could find without a flower or  pony tail in her hair!).  I tried to get one of Mason and Owen wearing the same clothes, but as it turns out, Owen outgrew all of the clothes Mason is wearing at the same age long ago (he's now in his 6-9 month clothes, and they are non-to-big (yes, he's only 3.5 months!)) So this will have to do!



We are staying very busy so far this summer with Swimming every Monday and Wednesday morning at an awesome friend's parent's house, Harkins summer movies Tuesday mornings, and splash pad play date Thursday mornings.  I find that everyone is a lot happier when we keep busy and have things to do  in the day.  It is HOT Here now, like the unbearable heat that makes you want to melt, so we are doing all we can to keep cool!  Jeremy's sister and her family are going to be in town for the next week, and we are really looking forward to spending time with them and having the kids play, and I promise to take a lot more pictures and have a fun post after this week is through!

Cute!

I just realized I have some pictures to post!  I haven't remembered to take them as often as I should, but here are a few from our life!

This is a hair-do I saw online and wanted to try it and see if it was cute.  I wasn't impressed... it looked just ok to start with, but it wasn't very stable, and for the amount of activity our little Brenna engages in, it only lasted a short time before it was totally fallen out... and it took quite awhile to do!!


Brenna got this apron from my mom that my mom made her!  I got a matching one too, they are super cute!  Thanks so much mom!  They are awesome, and now Brenna always asks if she can help me cook so we can wear our matching aprons!


Owen's first swim!


Aunt Jessica had so much fun swimming with the kids!


This was Owen's first time in the pool.  It only lasted a couple of minutes, but he was cute in his swim suit!  I, on the other hand, was sort of busting out of my swim suit on all sides... still got some baby weight to go!



Mason went on his first Fathers and Sons campout!  It was so so cute!  He was so excited to go and he wore that backpack with his clothes so proudly!  It was so grown up of him!



 Brenna has gotten more into drawing and coloring lately.  She likes to draw our family, which is what this is incase you didn't know!


Brenna decided to decorate Owen while he was swinging.. he's such a pretty girl!



I curled Brenna's hair last Sunday, and it was really pretty!  I think I will do it more often... it holds curl well since half of it is really curly already.



Cooking with mom!



In our matching aprons!



The rest are just cute pictures of the kids!  I love these kids so much!  So cute!






And so chubby!  haha



GAK!!
