Lovin' Summertime

Life is good here!  We have been LOVING the summertime weather, and literally living outside as much as possible.  I ABSOLUTELY could not be happier and constantly feel so blessed for the 3 amazing kiddos God has given me and the time I get to spend with them.  I want to hold onto each moment and freeze time.  I'm  lovin' my  Larkyn cuddles, Colton giggles, and conversations with my Summer - I am one lucky Momma :).

Big brother Colton is definitely warming up to his little sister!

First trip to the zoo with 3 kiddos!

Larkyn slept most of the time :)

We got to see the outdoor bird show for the first time this year!

The kids got trading cards with their favorite bird - Coconut - who talks :)

Sweet Larkyn

Napping with Mommy

Another adorable sleepy Larkyn

Larkyn just goes with the flo - sleeping in her carseat on the move with her big brother and sister :)

Sweet Colton loving up on his sister

He can make her stop crying!

HUG!

We have been having such fun with these three - Hannah and Melanie are both 5 months older than my two, and baby Carter is only 1 day younger than Larkyn!

After seeing a community puppet show at a local park Summer wanted to make her own puppets

This past weekend, Paul ran the Tough Mudder race in Wisconsin with a group of guys from church.  Tough Mudder is a 10 mile obstacle race.  He had a blast!

Finishing!

Larkyn first tub bath (2 weeks) (She didn't love it at first, but now she likes it a lot more!)


Tummy Time with Larkyn


Colton and Larkyn -
(Side Note: Summer holds Larkyn for me quite a bit, and will go put her pacifier in if she is crying.  She is SUCH a great big sister and really cares for Larkyn and helps out a TON!  Colton this past week just started loving on Larkyn in such a sweet way that I caught this video of him trying to soothe her...)
