Goin private

Not that many people read this blog, but I’m going to set it to private pretty soon.  It’s pretty much my personal scrapbook for my kids at this point and so I’d like to have more control over who has access to it.  Send me your email address if you want to be able to view it.  Thanks!

Aaargh

So our house has been pirate, pirate, pirate lately.  Yesterday, Kingston took one of their swords and came up and poked me and said “Aargh”.  Sooo funny and cute

He’s so verbal now and picks up things from his brothers we don’t even realize.  They were playing with some pirate toys (thanks Uncle Peter) this morning in their room.  Kingston woke up and toddled into their room and shut the door.  They all played for over an hour!

He’s saying probably close to 30 words now.  Uses a few signs, but not much anymore since he’s tryng to say the words.  These days, we’re loving going to work in our garden (we got a plot at the community garden) and weeding and planting soon.  We also go the YMCA when the weather is nice.  The boys are riding their new bikes very well.  We’re playing with lots of neighbors.  And I’m soaking in every moment.

Especially these:

And then they were 4

How did this happen so fast?  Their 4th birthday just snuck up on us this year.  We had a blast celebrating with some neighbor kids and doing a pirate party.

Started with a scavenger hunt around the house and block.

Had some fantastic cake and cupcakes

Played some games… (Malachi was especially excited to play the games and keep up with the big kids!)

And opened gifts… the last of which was new bikes!

I win for best surprised face haha!

They were more thrilled than their faces look, haha.

The actual day of their birthday, we went to the zoo.

Thus far, age 4 is proving to be pretty enjoyable.  They are understanding and obeying so much more.  I feel like the hard work we put in the past few years is starting to pay off!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Never ever will you see such great Easter pictures

Please note the great amount of love felt between brothers

The fake smiles

The great backdrop (the previous owner decided to paint our cement steps…)

And last, but not least, the gorgeous Easter outfits.  Yeah, we definitely went all out this year…fitting Kingston into the same size shirt Lincoln is wearing.

The parents definitely had nicer outfits than the kids.  Good thing they didn’t care.  And neither did Jesus.

After our church service, we hosted a dinner at our house and my mom and Carl came.  We dyed eggs with the boys and then hunted them at the park.

This on really needs to work on his egg-hunting skills.  He found zero eggs.

This one did pretty good, but had to stop and eat the candy out of each egg he found, slowing him down signifcantly.

All in all, it was a fantastic day.
