It is getting so green outside

Alex got a special hat at preschool on his birthday.

The boys thought they were so funny fitting between the pallets of goods at Costco. 

The boys got some major air when firing their rocket blaster.

Eliza thought they were just plain tasty. 

Eliza got her first ride on a teter toter with Alex. She loved it!

Mouse trap was given to Alex for his birthday and the boys play it just about every week at least now.

While registering Alex for safety town Alex found this Kayak and took it for a spin. 

The boys enjoying the large fish tank at the shoe shop we went to.

Our last trip to Toys-R-Us. The boys got some cool masks to wear.

Evan sleeps in the most uncomfortable positions I think.

Eliza trying out one of the masks and looking cute.

We finally got Evan his 'new' bed, and he loves it!

Eliza getting tucked in by daddy.

Eliza just looking cute.

Don't get many pictures of Alex sleeping anymore, but he's just as cute I think.

Eliza trying out a tricycle.

Evan painting his lightning McQueen bank.

Eliza has quite a frown when you tell her "NO!"

Eliza fell asleep at MOPS one day and I came to pick her up and found her like this. The MOPPETS are so sweet the our kids.

Alex trying on some of his new dress up clothing.

We found a state park by us and it is quite nice. A small beach.

A walking path with peers to go down and look out at the lake.

The kids really enjoyed out walk. 

More mouse trap!

Eliza trying out headbands, I think she's quite cute.

We finally got the swing I wanted for the kids. So excited to have it up for them. Eliza loves swinging with her brothers.

Bed head. :)

Alex enjoying a video game with his friend Jason at a birthday party.

Eliza has joined the boys in the big tub. I think she enjoys the company, and the boys enjoy the addition. 

Reading with Daddy.

The boys are getting more adventurous on the playground.

Eliza is getting adventurous as well, going down the swirly slide at the park. Good thing mommy was at the bottom to stop her. 

The boys left each of us a sleeping companion in our bed. I didn't see them until I was getting into bed. :)

Ales has started reading books to us. Short ones, but he's giving it a try and doing well.

Eliza in her pretty pretty dress ready for church.

Eliza enjoying her Red Robin fries. 

The boys also enjoy the fries, even if Alex's expression doesn't convey it.

The kids enjoying the swing.... too bad there are three seats.

Alex and Evan counting out their money into their banks, and Eliza has the calculator to make sure it all adds up.

Eliza and I enjoying some time together while the boys were swimming.

The boys have started getting into their Halloween costumes to play. It's pretty cute. 

Eliza took her first ride on Sally at Meijer.

Everyone still enjoys seeing the garbage truck, but Evan is too afraid of bugs to leave the garage. 

The kids were playing the dirt looking at rolly polly bugs I dug up planting the lilies and gladiolas.

My mom came for a visit on her birthday. We went to English Gardens and looked around. All the kids had to be put in the cart because the boys were running around all over the place. 

Eliza thought she was quite funny holding her cup in her mouth. 

And then playing peek-a-boo with Evan (behind her chair).

Alex helped his Oma blow out her candles on her birthday cake.

And Oma couldn't leave without playing mouse trap. :)

Evan loves his pickles.

We sat in this area in a mall near us to give the kids room to run before dinner. Alex is the dot on the far white wall and Evan is just returning. 

After dinner we headed to Lego Land for the first time. They had a bunch of structures built from Detroit.

We enjoyed a 4D lego movie as well.

Eliza found some lego's her size. :)

While out to dinner with Mike's mom Eliza had her bib half off and she just looked too cute not to take a picture of.

I never understand how the kids can sleep like this. There seems to be a crease on their face or hair whenever they wake up.

Typical morning with the boys. Brushing their teeth while playing with the kindles. 

Church is always interesting with the kids now. 

Until the sermon then it's snack time to keep them quiet. I think these 3 might be related. 

Daddy and Eliza enjoying the mother's day brunch at church.

The kids all went into the preschool area to play while I took down communion.

The boys were having fun with the grass clippings that daddy put in my garden area. They were covered in grass when they were done.

Evan and Eliza had to share the sitting area of the cart this week because Evan wanted to be in that part of the cart. Only one leg hole each. 

Eliza started handing me blocks while I was in the chair yesterday, so I was stacking them on my leg. Well then the boys got into it and I had this tower of blocks on my leg, until this last block that Evan is placing on top. That was the straw that broke this stacks back. 

Eliza was helping me move the boys clothes around today. I had to move all of Alex's shirts to Evan's area, and get Alex all new shirts hung up. Eliza was throwing all of the hangers around the room and unfolding clothes I was folding. Such a helpful girl.

Here is Eliza hanging out in the closet while I'm trying to hang up shirts. *sigh*
