Spring pictures

Here are our spring pictures. Logan was working on perfecting this awful fake grin, so the shots of him by himself are not so great. He has since given it up and we're getting good shots of him again...thankfully he was genuinely smiling for the "group" pictures!

Swinging

All 3 of the kids LOVE swinging outside. They would stay out there forever if we would let them!

For some reason these pictures of Landon don't look anything like him, but this was his first time in the outside swing a few weeks ago.

Landon Pictures

Here are a few updated Landon pictures:

Elly-isms

I need to write down some of our favorite Elly terms before I forget them:

1. "I love boo" for I love you
2. "Yandon" crying
3. "Settle down Yandon"
4. "Binky Ball" for bouncy ball
5. "Muk" for any drink, including Milk
6. "I huping" for I helping
7. "Gamby" for Gammie
8. "Grambuh" for Gramma
9. "Cee Cee" for Tennessee


She loves her brothers and makes sure to see both of them first thing in the morning and say hello. She loves socks, shoes, hats & gloves and tries to put any and all of them on that she can. She loves puzzles, books, baby dolls, bracelets, necklaces, phones, balls, musical instruments, cars and most of all being outside. She is as independent as they come and she loves helping anyone and everyone. She is as opinionated as they come too...and needs to feel like whatever she does is her idea. She is FULL of life and SOOOO much fun!

My Greatest Joy

I know I'm biased, but this is my favorite recent picture...It makes us all laugh every time we see it--Elly pulled her pigtail out on her way to the hospital and none of us thought to fix her hair before letting her hold Landon for the first time. I'm glad we didn't--it is a source of so many smiles and laughs--Just like our sweet Elly.

This picture says it all--no prompting from anyone-- just sweet, genuine love and kisses for her baby brother.

And if that one wasn't clear enough, maybe this one is...it speaks a thousand words

Cast from the same mold

There really is no denying that these 3 children are ours, nor that they belong together! A friend of mine joked that we have one "recipe" and I guess that she was right!
