Dad's phone dump

Since he is better at remembering to take pictures than mom is

 Dad's view from his office in San Francisco

 Just because it was Super bowl Sunday and we had zero interest in the game, but we do like brownies

 Lesson learned : never buy a vehicle without first taking it to a mechanic. Luckily someone else bought it from us and it is out of our hands.

Happy birthday Aunt Milla!

And then there were four

Life with a newborn is not easy and life with my little Bennett and his three older brothers is no exception. In the past almost two months I have not been out of the house with all four of my boys, unless Dad was with me.  I can still count the instances on one hand. But just because I am afraid to go anywhere on my own with four little ones, doesn't mean I'm totally secluded from the world...well maybe just a little, but we are still having a lot of fun finding our new normal with four boys.  We are pretty excited about our family right now and we are trying to really get to know each boy and let them know how special they are to us.

kyle-isms

Our little Kyle is quite the character and some of the things he says and does are things I really don't want to forget.
~"I'm standing on one foot" His left foot was literally standing on his right foot,
~while we where having a chamomile tea party "You eat coffee you die, The dinosaurs eat bad coffee."
~"Mom I blooming!" "Blooming?" "yeah blooming" ...aka brooming...aka sweeping
~turn-ado= tornado

~ and for any of you familiar with mine craft

 I a vill-ger mommy!

now take a picture of me as a guy

Yes those are two different shoes. That's just the way he likes it!

Colin Blake turns two

Ever since Bennett was born, I have been feeling like Colin has been growing up so fast. I really think he hit a huge growth-spurt. but even though it looks like he is catching up to Kyle quickly, it is still hard to believe that he is a two-year-old.  My little snuggle bug is two! Happy birthday Colin! We love you so much and we are so happy you are part of this family.  You don't talk much but you have always been amazing at communicating exactly what it is you want. Your favorite food is probably pancakes and you can out-eat almost all of us. You have a huge sweet tooth and if ever you feel there is chocolate or candy or other sweets being distributed without your participation, you make your displeasure shown. You are such a sweet big brother to Bennett and you are a huge tease to your older brothers. You tackle them often as if to let them know that you will not be left behind or forgotten.  You are pretty irresistible and we love your hugs and kisses. We love you and all hope you had a great birthday!
