Life at our house is a little crazy but we have a lot of fun with our family...

 We stuffed their shirts with pillows so they could play sumo wrestlers.  They had so much fun, they were laughing almost the whole time.

Kayli is learning new things everyday.  She is very busy trying to keep up with big brother and sister.

We did a preschool group for Taylor in the spring.  She had so much fun learning her letters, doing crafts, playing games with her friends.  Whit got to join in at our house since his school was in the afternoon.

Kayli loves her little buggy and Taylor has so much fun pushing her around.

Kayli is 9 months and she can already stand up all on her own.  She loves to squat while she looks at books or plays with her toys.  She has some really strong legs from doing all those squats:)

Yes... she is smiling at herself in the mirror. It was so cute she just kept going up and down to see herself

I love sleeping kids, who doesn't?!  But I really love how Whit has all his stuffed animals lined up. 

Snuggling in Mommy and Daddy's bed is always fun too. (Once in a while)

1st time down the slide with big sister... she loved it!

This new playground just opened up down the street.  The kids were so excited to finally go play.

Easter

We had a great Easter.  The kids enjoyed looking for Easter eggs, eating lots of treats, dying eggs, having a picinic and playing at the park.

     
                                                  

                                   Kayli loves to bounce around in her exersaucer.
                                       Which is better, binkie or plastic eggs?

                                                               How about both!

We love going to this park.  Taylor could swing on this tire swing all day, and Whit loves that he can do these monkey bars now.
I gave them their lunch in Easter eggs too, they had so much fun finding out what they got to eat next.
                                       

                                               Taylor looked so pretty in her new dress.

Just for fun!

Whit had fun building the snow slide with dad.

Kayli loves to grab her toes and they even make it into her mouth sometimes.  The other kids think it is hilarious.

Kayli learning to sit by herself...

and now she is so excited that she can.

I had a friend take some pics of Kayli when she was one month old. Thanks Kim!
I love how they turned out...

Whit's Birthday and more...

I can't believe my boy is 5 already.  He is growing up so fast.  He loves life.  Whit loves school and he always wants to be outside.  We love you Whit, Happy Birthday!!
Whit was so excited about his new skateboard for his Birthday.  He got to test it out inside for a few days first.

I let the boys make their own pinatas for his birthday party and then they got to bust them open.

We went to the Fire station for a playgroup.  The kids had fun sitting in the firetruck and trying on the gear.

I was expecting a lot more of this snow for the winter but fortunately we had a pretty mild winter in Milwaukee this year.  Whit loved all the snow we got though. It is much more fun when your prepared for it:)

 Taylor liked it for a minute then was ready to go back in.  I love how snuggly Kayli is in her cute snowsuit.

I love this cute girl.  I just can't get enough of her.

We had a fun Valentine's Day with these silly kids.

Taylor's Birthday

I can't believe my little girl is 3!  Taylor is such a joy to our family.  She is always so sweet and so fun to be around.  We love you Taylor.
Taylor's 3 year stats:   Height 35 1/2 in. tall, 28 lbs.

We still had the Christmas tree up so we decided to just put the presents under the tree and it was like Christmas all over again.

The kids had fun with Grandma.

Taylor loved her Princess Cake.

Happy Birthday Taylor!!

December...

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas. (Now that it is 3 months later:)

We had a great month and a lot of fun.  We missed out on some of our favorite "Richmond" traditions this year... the Live Nativity at the Zoo and the Tacky Lights Tour, but we did find "Candy Cane Lane" that has some decorated Christmas houses, Santa was even there to visit with.

We had a few friends over to make some Gingerbread houses (or graham cracker trains).  The kids had fun playing with friends and eating all the treats!

We had a fun night out at Chuck E. Cheese.

On Christmas Eve the kids got to open their Christmas jammies and then we watched a Christmas movie.


Christmas morning was very exciting.  Whit came in and woke us up at 7.  Thanks for letting us sleep in Whit!  Then he went in and woke Taylor up.
She was so cute, all she said was, "Heey! I was sweepeen!"
Whit said, "Lets go see if we were good!"
As soon as they get down the stairs Whit said, "I can't believe we were good!! This is the best Christmas ever!"
They had fun opening presents.  Whit was definitely the fastest at opening presents.  Taylor would open one and then play for a while until Whit talked her into opening another. 

Grandma came to visit after Christmas and got to stay for New Years and Taylor's birthday.

I love these cute kids, even if they only give me silly pictures.

They love snuggling with daddy.
