golden!

Casey could not have said it better... he changed everything...and all of us...for the best :)

Thinking of these kids growing up scares me almost every day. I try not to think about it very often because really, it's just a waste of time. It's the inevitable. It's amazing. And I can't say for certain I love it. I mean, come on! look at those chubby cheeks! :)

We have many more arguments to come. We may disagree more than ever. But I think he's turning in to quite the young man right before our eyes. I'm not sure I'm ready for it... we love you Peyton William!

Happy (belated) Golden Birthday!

Mr. Man at 12!

Stay just the way you are! (but maybe clean your room more often)  ;)

3!

This adorable little man was born to us 3 years ago today. Tayt had some very big shoes to fill. He dominated this house as The Beast. Little did we know, Nash would over fill those shoes of Tayt's. He is quite the critter! Every day with this child is a new adventure. Just when I think we may have done almost everything, this child does something to blow my mind... you definitely keep us on our toes, Mr. Man. We love you SO much!

HAPPY 3rd BIRTHDAY NASH MAN!

in like a lion?

March did in fact come in like a lion. Sped past. And now I'm surprised it's already April.  "in like a lion and out like a lamb" ... I'm not entirely sure of the validity behind that statement, but it definitely applied this month. 

There were quite a few beautiful days that were not the usual for Wisconsin March weather, but we enjoyed them nonetheless.

someone please tell me who this young man is! seriously... be still my heart!

this is mostly what I have to work with when it comes to Lia...
she is her mother through and through ;)

true boy. not around the mud hole. crawl through it.

attitude!

I had this idea in my head that after six children, we'd have a mild, quiet one... I should have known better. This one makes herself known every day and has so much attitude.  Here she is playing on the steps which she thinks is hilarious... evil! And then seconds later she was angry about something... me taking photos or not moving herself down the steps fast enough... who knows!

attitude!
