Spring!

Ok, I know I'm getting pathetic at blogging when I'm titling them by Season.

Will I ever have free time again!?!?

Also, am I the only one who feels like this year is flying by???

Why didn't time go this fast when I was pregnant?

Anyway, here you have way too many pictures (again) of some highlights from our Spring. :)  

(this post is mostly about Thea) :)

Starting with the Princess.

She is already 8 MONTHS!  

Time is going by way too fast!

All the Texans take these photos of their children in these flowers, call Blue Bonnets.

If you can't beat em, join em!

Noah was obviously thrilled to be a part of this fun Texas tradition.

Liam was so cute about it though, practically napping in the flowers.

and Thea is all like, "It's ok, Noah, we're almost done"

little beauty.

We celebrated Easter!

Not quite as fun as last year since we had our fun family in town, but still fun.

This was from the celebration at their school.

 

They even made bunny ears for Thea!

Liam wasn't scared of the Bunny this year.

Big boy!

Look Mom! found an egg!

dying eggs!!

* we're also getting ready to paint our kitchen! 

which color do you like?

our playgroup did an Easter egg hunt too.  

Each kid had to find a different color egg.  

Genius idea Lisa!

Lisa also taught us how to make resurrection rolls to teach the kids that Jesus was not in the tomb because He is RISEN!  

They totally loved this.

we have the greatest playgroup ever.  

look at all those sweet croc feet!

*(thea not pictured)

the kids are ALWAYS worn out after our playgroup.

We have so much fun!

blessed with such wonderful friends.

avert your eyes from my messy floor.

some of our neighbors (from the best street ever) went for a bike ride/ run to the nearest ice cream shop

the kids loved it!

(of course)

my sweet, long time friend Lauren was here for business from Colorado and we got to have her for a whole night!!

I love this girl!

we had our first swim on April 1st!!

we've been making the kids earn their keep around here!

Noah's been playing baseball and totally loving it!

He's on the Colorado Rockies!

Gotta say he's pretty good out there on the field! (and at bat!)

Although here he is manning 2nd with his glove on his head and looking at a bug on the ground.

This is how t-ball goes, folks!

these little troopers are dragged along to the practices and the games

but they are so good about it.

look at that sweet girl who always smiles for the camera!  Love her!

focus face.

and yes, that's Reese Witherspoon, one of our coaches behind him.

haha, just kidding, but doesn't she look just like her??

getting a spring do!

(is that how you spell that?)

look how big she's getting!!

Remember 4 girls on my street were pregnant at the same time?

Here's one of the other babes that came out of that group. (little Brooks)  

Thinking about switching cars!

Preben has been doing some construction projects around the house. 

Here are the boys helping to vacuum out the fireplace that Preben is working on building!

Precious girl.

Such a JOY

Seriously always smiling.

Rub a Dub Dub, 3 babes in the tub!

Have to include these with her special dress made by our Aunt in Norway, Tante Inger. 

She is so talented and has made the boys clothes as well.  

We totally love the Norwegian hand made clothes!  

Thank you Tante Inger!!

Thea loves it too :)

When Preben was in Norway for a week, on the last night, I gave the kids ice-cream for dinner.

#alltimelow

#tiredmomma

here they are showing you how cold it is and how it's giving them brain freeze.

Norwegian waffles for our Norwegian babes!

enjoying the sunshine with my always happy little lady

and to conclude this insanely long photo post, our rambunctious kids,  silly boys jammed a lemon in the ball popper and I tried to get it out with a golf club and got them both stuck.

Thank goodness for Preben- who always fixes everything.  I love you honey!

I'm now realizing Preben was not in one photo in this entire post.

Sorry Preby!

But he continues to be a fantastic husband and father!

ok now I feel guilty.

here are a couple of preb. -

Also, Preben is co-coaching Noah's basball team!

#superdad!

(did I got too crazy with the hashtags in this post?)

I'll get a photo of him in his coach's uniform for the next post! :)

ok, that about wraps up our Spring!

Be looking for a new post around the end of Summer!  ;) jk!

hope to have one sooner than that!

to everyone still reading this, thanks for keeping us with us!  we love you!
