Jesse Jones Park

It was a beautiful weekend so we wanted to take advantage of it. We decided to hike/explore
Jesse Jones Park since we've never been there and it's only 20 min away!
It was a beautiful place and we want to come back to explore more and fish.



The boys love finding these vines and swinging on them







You can see behind us are turtles everywhere! It was chilly so they were getting some sun.



Cutest hiker ever! She absolutely loves being outside with us.



This little abandoned shack



The trails end at a hilly place with a river you can fish in





It was a beautiful day!

5 months!

I can't believe baby Claire is 5 months! We are all just so in love with her. 
She is so fun, so smiley, and such a happy amazing baby. 
She's getting such a cute personality and it's so fun to see her grow into it.



She is just the cutest thing ever. She's starting to grab her toes and I love this stage!
I have pictures of all the kids grabbing and biting their own toes!





Her absolute favorite thing ever is her brothers. She just adores them!
Thinks they are the funniest thing she's ever seen!
She's old enough to start sitting in her highchair and she loves being
in there with everyone else! She definitely doesn't want to be left out.







Getting a head start on learning to do homework!




She started trying food! She's not a big fan, but we're practicing.
 




She is really starting to get around! She can roll a lot.



 Almost sitting up!




She loves her daddy. She gets SO excited when he gets home!






She loves it outside too, and the boys were excited she could be in the hammock with them.
They are so good about making sure she's safe and happy.




 

 A windy day!



 She is the most fun ever. We love her so much!

Chase turns 7!!!

I know I say this every year, but WHERE does the time go?
I feel conflicted - as much as I want it to slow down and I have these awesome memories
of them being small and hilarious and cute, each year brings so many NEW
fun memories and I love my kids more each year. But still! AGH! So old!!!

Chase is hilarious. He's still into scary things and loves to draw and invent. 
He's getting to be quite the climber and will climb anything he can find.
He's got an awesome memory and an incredible vocabulary.
He loves hiking and being outside, and is suddenly interested in learning
to catch and throw and be more into sports like Grant.
We love him so much! Happy birthday buddy!



Chase got to stay home from school so we did his presents early.








 Grant made this and I thought it was so cute!
 


Donuts for breakfast!



One of his favorite gifts was odds and ends to invent with...and his own stash of gloves. 




Annual tradition at Chuck-e-Cheese! I love it that they still are so excited to go.
We picked up Grant at school and met Jason there. It was so cold this day!









 Chase requested store bought cupcakes that he saw that were bright blue with sprinkles.
I was a little hurt at first, but honestly? They were soooo good! 
 





His first pet! He wanted a goldfish so we went to pick two out. So fun!
