Winter/Spring Time Fun!

This is a huge compilation of activities/every day fun throughout the last few months. I really just wanted to get caught up and get the camera cleared out before Makayla/Makaela arrives!

Caleb & Madison both love to draw and color therefore we do this at least once a day!
Some laughs from packing! I had packed a whole bunch of boxes and a few weeks later Dan was moving them for me and he started laughing hysterically at this label :). What I meant was that these movies are not cartoons/Disney ... I'm glad we fixed these labels before we got our family secretly wondering what we do at night - ha ha!
One of Caleb's creations.
Charlotte and Aidan. He definitely loves her like a sister.


Makayla/Makaela is getting a little lovin' right before she joins the world :).


Poke!

Caleb loves to crawl into this little cupboard so Madison thought she'd try but it didn't quite work out how she planned.
A little sibling love.




If you're happy and you know it ...

Mmm .... mmm ... frozen yogurt!

Caleb cooking for us.
Batman ... I mean Caleb ... dressing up in big brother's favorite dress ups!

Preschool A swim lessons. Madison is now almost finished with her Preschool B class too! She became a little fish over night. It was remarkable to see how one day she couldn't swim and then the next she just took the plunge and could do it - amazing! We are so proud of her!








Prego Mommy is exhausted and resting her sore feet after cleaning up dinner - so we ended up just hanging out on the kitchen floor!






We don't normally go all out for the superbowl but this year we had a mini party with the von Borstel's and these are our football cookies we all made - it was actually a really great time!

This is the superbowl champion trophy. Whoever came closest to the final game score won this special cookie made by Dan ... and the winner was ... Melaura! However, Ashley had the score exact except backwards so we consider that to be even better than the closest :).
He loves his yogurt - what he gets to eat anyway.
A lazy morning - the best kind. Breakfast and cartoons - can't beat it!




We're making brownies with our new "perfect brownie maker" (as seen on t.v.) that Madison picked out for Mommy to have for her birthday. They were YUMMY and cut to perfection!
Window markers kept them busy for a LONG time - yipee!



Craft time: painting egg cartons to make "bugs".
Reading comfortably ... acutally reminds me a bit of Aunt Monica.
Caleb's reading in his favorite spot :).


Baby Makayla / Makaela (8 months prego)

Caleb's trying to "honk honk" her nose!




How sweet!
Pony tail night - everyone (except Daddy) had one - ha ha! He only got away with it because his hair was way too short!



This one was Maddie's favorite and this is how she wore it to school the next day too ;).
Hangin' with Hobbs. Aidan's been demoted to in between the couch's.



We put peanuts out on the porch because Madison swore she saw a chipmunk ... well 25 minutes later the kids were still waiting patiently and one showed up!!! It was a riot! He kept taking a peanut and running away at which time Aidan would yell at me for being too loud and scaring it away - but then it would come back for more - ha ha! They both insisted on using their "Finding Nemo binoculars" because the porch is so far away :).
