so silly

This year I have been extremely busy and somehow along the way neglected to keep up on all the photos in my phone and on the camera.  Then when my camera began to malfunction, I gave up entirely.  Luckily my sweet husband was able to fix my camera and I have now been pulling all my pictures off the camera and phone, gradually beginning to organize them on my computer.  There are so many fun, cute, silly pictures that I forgot I had taken.  There are also an assortment of pictures from different places I have taken the kids this Spring.  All in all it has made blogging the last little while overwhelming to say the least.  I have always considered blogging as my journal/scrapbook/baby books and it gnaws on me that I have not stayed up to date with it. 

The other day I was talking with my friend at work and she suggested starting fresh and continuing forward rather than getting bogged down by how behind I have been.  So although I will attempt to post some of the past occurrences, for the most part I am going to just move on and attempt to keep up to date on the current events going on around our house. 

Until I can get to those, however, I have a couple fun photos I found that truly capture life around our house :)

The first picture is of my little Maddie with a balloon stuffed under her dress at the in-laws house.  She was hilarious walking around announcing that she had a baby in her belly.  The balloon kept falling/popping out with any little movement she made and then she would laugh like crazy and say "oops the baby came out"

The second picture makes me smile because it was taken back in January when Robby was refusing to grow up.  He would steal a pacifier from Eli every time I turned around and climb into the high chair, exersaucer, bouncer, and any other baby object he could find {such as the baby tub}. Then he would announce with a big grin on his face "I a baby".  What a few months can change.  Although he is still obsessed with sleeping with a pacifier, he now proudly reminds us daily "I a big boy" whenever we try to baby him in any way whatsoever.

The third picture is the most recent and was taken on one of my work nights by Daddy.  He tends to allow mischief and playing to occur at bedtime, including hours of playtime in Maddie's room.  One night he went upstairs to check on the kids and he found them both dead asleep on Miss Maddie's bed.  It is the sweetest picture, but it still doesn't mean I allow this in any way, shape, or form. :)
