Here I am with my side kick

Went to Iowa for Abby's confirmation and we had this fabulous hotel room-3 queens 

It was soooo much fun to sleep all together in the same room 😊😏

An unfortunate meeting with the Lindbo's.  Uncle Timmy passed away so Lauren and Lillian got to see their cousins Owen and Jackson at his funeral.

This is what I do alot of the time...I guess it could be worse?

Brian took his Engineering test in April and needed a watch during the test.  So he picked one up at Walmart, a Hello Kitty one and brought it back for one of his cutie pies.  Lauren was so excited to have her "own" watch. (Oh and Brian passed-Yipee!!!!)

Brian and I got away on a date and met up with our friends Drew and Jen for dinner.  They texted us a picture of themselves "waiting patiently" at the restaurant so Brian and I sent back a picture of us "stuck" in Mankato traffic....we may have just been a little late ;)

Lillian 2 months old

Sweet, sweet Lilly is 2 months old!!  Time seems to be flying by sometimes and other times not so much...like the sleepless nights we still seem to have.  Lillian is such a good baby.  Still getting loved on by her sisters.  She's more alert and smiling when you talk to her. 

Luck of the Irish-Fun Run

This years Fun Run had a lot different feel than last years....SNOW!  Brian and Natalie were troopers and braved the slippery Kids .7 mile.  Natalie was able to finish this year without any tears...she knew what to expect which makes a huge difference.  The race and evening activities were alot of fun and alot of work. But its all for a great cause-John Ireland school!!

Lillian's Baptism

We had a wonderful celebration of Lillian's baptism.  Most of the extended family was able to make it and quite a few of our friends we invited as well.  Lillian was a super good baby!

Daddy Daughter Dance-Natalie

Natalie had the privelege of going on a very special date with Brian...the Daddy/Daughter dance.

She was so excited that this year was her year to go.  She and I went shopping for a special dress and shoes and the accessories to go with.  She made a super cute choice and looked very beautiful.    

I love these two pictures...Natalie was so excited to get flowers from her Dad and the other picture of them smiling at each other was just too sweet.  She could hardly contain her happiness!

Emily middle school play "The Greek Mythology Olympiaganza'

Emily had a good time participating in this year's Middle School play.  It was actually pretty entertaining and all the kids did a fantastic job!  She met some new friends, laughed alot and learned the in's and out's of theater.  I like that she tried something new and wasn't afraid to do it.

Lauren's Birthday

                  

Happy 3 year Birthday Lauren!  this spunky little kid is so much fun to be around.  She's got lots of humor, love and sass all wrapped up in a tiny little body.  She is a very stubborn and persistent child.  I can't believe how often I argue with her or tell her "no" when shes asked me for something a million times!  Reverse psychology is not working with this one.  It's one of the many things I love about being a parent-every kid is different and parenting strategies are always getting tweaked.  Lauren really is the epitome of JOY in our house however.  We are constantly laughing at this kid with her whit and cuteness.  And those beautiful big blue eyes melt our hearts!  She is also still singing or talking ALL the time which makes Brian and I smile.

Birthday Donut, Balloons and Flowers!
