April stuff

 Annie and Russ are seriously so dang cute together.  They used to be so mischievous when they would play together when they were little, bu now they are just so creative and have so much fun. They were pretending to be road workers. I love the "hard hat" and vest Annie is wearing, yep that's a baseball helmet and a life vest. 

 They kids in their new Easter dresses and shirt and tie for Russell.  I had found all of these online and I thought a purple tie would be really nice for Russ, but he was actually pretty pissed about it and it took A LOT of convincing on Kevin's part for him to wear it,  such a silly guy.

 Clara was given this jacket and even though it wasn't cold at all outside she insisted on wearing it. Haha.

 Clara likes to find my big boots and wear them around the house.

 Annie had her Miss Patty Place field trip to the Zoo and it was so great because it ended up being on a flex Friday so Kevy got to go with us.  Annie had a great time hanging with her two little friends, Liv and Grace

 Clara was my little buddy and it was so fun to take her because she is such an animal lover.  She had the best time.

 Russell kept reminding me before I went to take a picture of a bear.  The only one they have is called a red panda and it isn't a bear at all but more like a raccoon, but I made sure to still get a picture.

 My two little kangaroos.

 We had to get a picture of the giraffes because they are Clara's favorite animal and she was sure thrilled to see them.

 I am just loving getting to do things like this without babies!  It makes everything more enjoyable.

 The girls wanted to wear the dresses that grandma made for them one more time all together even though they are all growing out of them.

 My little messy face girl. She loves treats and reminds me of Nellie at the same age with the chocolate. Haha.

 Spring is track time now and probably always will be because of Lizzy.  It is crazy how much better she is even than last year.  She truly has some major talent and I love watching her run.

 Nellie joined track this year.  It has been a bit of a struggle with her because she doesn't really want to put in any real effort but she just wants to be really naturally good.  Plus she only wants to do sprints which she just isn't good enough at, so it can be a bit challenging. But she discovered near the end of the season that she liked hurdles and wants to try and do them next year, so hopefully it will be a good thing next year.

 These kiddies are just so silly. They started using goggles in the tub so they could go under. Its pretty funny but good that they aren't so scared of the water anymore.

 This boy is just so snuggly.

Clara really loves Janie and thankfully Jane is so sweet with her and always lets Clara hang out with her.  Jane is such a sweet sister and plays so well with everyone. Its one of the things I love most about her!
