A trip to Oregon

In April my sister, Tess, and I took a wild trip to Oregon. I drove up to her house with my three littles, stayed for a couple days, then packed her and her two littles into the van and off we went to Oregon.

It was really fun and crazy!

Here's Tess' little lady, Penny. 

She turned one the day after we got there.

One night at Tess', Pierce exploded out of his diaper. For some reason I didn't have any other clothes with me in our room except one of Myles' shirts. So I cleaned up Pierce and put him in his big brother's shirt. :)

Wynni Girl

While in Oregon we went to the Zoo!! I love that place!

Our other sister, Krystal, came with a couple of her kids, Lauren and Kurt.

Wyn and Lauren.

The kids did so well all smashed in the van together.  

It was so cute to see them all konked out.

Myles really loves following his cousin, Lliam around on adventures.

Tess and Penny.

Love the hair!

Pierce sleeping in my arms. 

He was a real trooper through the whole trip.

Grandma Baird brought her huge bubble blower.

There's Tess giving it a try.

And my turn.

I can't remember why Graham was so excited, but I LOVE this picture!

My sister's house has the best toys and play areas for the kids!

They love going and riding bikes.

Wyn trying the big bubble blower.

YAY! Myles got a bubble!

I love this picture of Myles!

Graham, Wyn, and Grandma Baird and Grandma's house.

My parents  have a cool fish tank that the kids love.

Myles named two of their big sucker fishes Bammer and Beedy Boder, of course. :)

Here's Wyn with Bammer.

Graham and Wyn.

They were good little buddies.

Lauren with Wyn.

They too, were good buddies.

Little Lauren loves babies!
She is going to be a great babysitter and mommy someday.

She loved holding Pierce.

One of my favorite pictures of the trip!

Older cousins holding baby cousins!

Nathan and Nicole are holding Pierce and Giddeon.

Pierce and Giddeon met for the first time this trip.

They are only four days apart, so that is pretty fun.

It was such a great trip! A bit stressful at times not having Kenny around, but it was fun.

Hiding Place

Whenever we play hide-and-seek the dryer is a hot spot. :)

One day they got in there together. 

I love these two! I love that they love each other!

Easter 2013!

Easter was a long time ago it feels like. 

I don't really remember all the details, but here are some fun pics!

Pierce! He is a great baby!

I love this picture.

Our little family on the stump.

Kenny always wants to get rid of the stump, but I LOVE it!!!

It was a happy Easter!

St. Patty's Day!

The Leprechauns came to our house for St. Patrick's Day and left the kids a treasure map.

Myles with the map.

Wyn running after Myles. :)

Studying the map.

They found it!! YAY!!

Visitors!

My parents came to visit in March.

It was great to see them!

We played, went swimming, had lunch at cave lake, and talked.

They were here from Monday-Friday. It was so fun!

I am sad these are the only pictures I took.

Grandma Baird with Wyn and Pierce.

Thanks for making the trip!

Random Pictures

Here's some random pictures of March.

The kids with their volcano.

They really love mixing baking soda and vinegar!

Sunglasses!

Small Hat!

This was Myles' hat that he got from the hospital when he was born. 

Still fits! :)

He passed it along to Pierce.

I was putting the older kids to bed and Kenny was helping Pierce learn how to ride a pillow-racer! :)

Running Through the Sprinkler...in February!

So back in February the kids and I were playing outside because it had warmed up to like 40 degrees.  I had to go in and make dinner, but the kids stayed out back to play. Within a few minutes I heard a strange noise that I couldn't place.  I peeked out the window and could see the kids running on the pavement...through the sprinkler!!! They had turned in on all by themselves and just thought running through would be awesome. :) I couldn't help but laugh.  They were already soaking wet.

I LOVE MY LITTLES!
