and a little more before... :)

My mom happily came to watch the kiddos on Friday for a minute while I finished up some Easter shopping and this is what little Kinlee discovered for the 2nd time so far...her thumb!
Cute Drew!
Peyt has been wanting to take Kinlee for a "ride"...every time he would stop she would cry and then as soon as he peddled his feet, she was happy again :)
She fit perfect! haha

NOW on for our Easter fun...we always have a crazy couple days with the Holidays. We started yesterday with...
An Easter Egg hunt/activities at the church put on by the Young Women. The kids had fun!
and a random kid that heard "say cheese" and ran right over! too funny!
THEN Tys took the boys to his dads for ANOTHER egg hunt and since we didn't take Kinlee, with her being sick and all those other little kiddos there, Jaxson, Kinsey and their girls stop by to see her! Claire was loving every second of Kinlee, it was so cute!
Then we had a performance from the boys and Madi. AWESOME :)
I think Tys and Jax had been waiting all day to play duck duck goose, so finally the kids gave in and let them have their way :)
and a Happy Easter morning! The boys are LOViN' their Happy Nappers and I couldn't believe how much Kinlee LOVED her diapers, necklaces, and "grooming" kit! haha
She will have a cute basket next year! :)
ANOTHER hunt for some eggs!

Taylor slept over and the boys were happy to go wake him up this morning and enjoy a little Easter with him too!
Finally, she wasn't crying :)
and just precious, right?!
our FIRST family photo since Kinlee was born! a LITTLE late, but this will do for now!
Then Grandma and Grandpa Smith invited us for dinner, and since they haven't met Kinlee yet AND it was only a few of us, we headed over to spend a little time with them, for yummy food and the BEST Egg hunt ever! A basket full of eggs in the middle of the table, we each took turns opening them and were on the hunt to find the most money! haha It was a lot of fun!
then ANOTHER HUNT at Grandma Debbies after another yummy dinner! We hurried and dropped Kinlee and Tys off at home and I headed over with the boys so I could do one cousin Easter egg hunt with them too!
I love getting pics with the girls to see how much we do or don't look alike :) and just to have for memories!

Well, hope you all had a WONDERFUL Easter! We did! and made away with WAY too much candy! We also had our front doorstep EGGED! haha At least it was with Chocolate eggs! THANKS HADLOWS...perfect ending to our day! :)

Just a Few!

I feel like I have been so out of it! I have barely been on the computer at all this week, kinda nice actually! Since getting back into the swing of trying to fit a workout in the schedule, on top of showering, getting ready, taking care of a two boys(which means, feeding them, entertaining them, getting them ready for the day...) AND a little babe(that list goes on and on...haha) I just don't have time to sit at the computer. At the end of the day, I'm not sure where the time has gone. But I try and take advantage of the few minutes tys and I get together, so I avoid the computer, because before you know it, an hour passes TOO quickly :)
We decided to clean out the blankets and such under the stairs, throw down some extra carpet pieces and make it the boys "house" AND they seriously LOVE it! We hung up a couple art projects too and Peyt keeps asking me to come hang out in his house. It's so cute of him! :)
Then Peyt decided to build a house inside his house! creative little guy! and I told him it's the most awesome house he has built! He did amazing, right? :)
And Peyt made this at school, I thought it was a cute idea!
then Great Grandma and Grandpa Love stopped by with some Easter Treats!
Drew looks really happy huh? He was though! Just a little tired.
This is Peyt trying the Super Sour candy spray! He thought it was hilarious!
And little Kinlee with her Easter Bunny! I promise she isn't ALWAYS crying :) I was just too impatient to wait for a second when she wouldn't be.
One of our lazy days, because we have been passing around colds and coughs in our home, the boys wanted ice cream cones and enjoyed them right here :)
and my dad and his fam stopped for a quick sec and it just took Patrick to calm Kinlee right down. It was cute she kept staring at him as he walked away too!
Well, there is for a few pics until our Easter weekend comes, then we'll have plenty more to post! Love to all of you and here's to hoping you are all much more healthy than we are! :) I hate seeing our boys sick let alone our little tiny baby with a cough and cold. So another hoping that we all get over it soon!

*PiNk*ToEs*FiNaLLy*

I know, I am a little behind, seeing how I DID paint her fingers her first day in the hospital! haha BUT yesterday, I could not get her to wake up and the boys and Tys weren't home...so we headed out to enjoy the sun and I painted her cute little toes! AS SOON as the boys and Tys walked in, her eyes opened RIGHT up! That's all she needed was them to wake her up :) Not sure about this face, but it was too hilarious not to share!!! hahaha

LoviN' iT! :)

Just catching up on a few days or pics missed... Love when they stretch! Such a rough life :) Love her hands, how she has them together... Love our 3 kiddos! WAtch out for spiderman! he may or may not have worn this off and on for 2 days! :) Peyt hates when I miss them getting into bed cause I'm taking care of Kinlee, so I brought her into them. She wasn't completely happy about it. But that's okay :) cause Peyt enjoyed having her lay by him. Peyt got to bring "Rattles", the school pet snake home from school...here's his pic of them. and him with Rattles. The night he brought it home, Tys and I were down watching tv while the boys SHOULD have been in bed, well Drew was, but Peyt was looking for excuses to get out. While we were watching tv, I look up and see Peyts snake sneakily making it's way down the stairs, through the railing bars all the way till it dropped on the stairs. It was hialrious! I was laughing so hard...needless to say his trick worked and he got to come down for a minute and hang out with us. :) So cute she is!!! Peyt is constantly practicing his swing, he loves it! This one he was hitting a dart thing, and it went through the blinds and stuck on the window! Amazing, and he probably couldn't do it again if he tried!

So there we go...a little of our week, minus that Drew has been pretty sick so finally on Thursday night, Tys took him into Kids Care to get checked. They told us his fever, cough, ear infection and whatever sickness was just a virus and they couldn't do anything for him(well, they did give a prescription for medicine on the ear, but said to wait and not get it unless he really seemed to need it) :( so sad! AND I will have to admit that Maalox is a MIRACLE!!! Little Kinlee has been so upset and not sleeping well. So I called the Dr. yesterday and every symptom led to Acid Reflux, they are having me give her Maalox, and it's like we have a completely different baby! She goes to sleep fine and is actually staying asleep in her crib, so we don't have to hold her all time :) I can get something done and get some zzzz's too! She slept from 9-3 last night, went straight back to sleep and then woke up around 7 AND is back asleep! She is probably worn out from all the crying the past couple days! I just hope she and Drew are both feeling better, since they are both catching up on their sleep right now :)

*KiNLee* 1 MoNTh...and...

So bittersweet when she is hitting this first milestone today! Missing the newborn stage already but also loving the new things that come from her being one month old! The boys were so excited to take her pic today. It's cute how much they love her. Peyton has only asked maybe twice to have her stop crying cause he was watching a show, Drew has yet to ask for her to calm down :) She is seriously so stinkin' cute and it's so fun to have a girl...I just have to remind myself that when I am getting little to no sleep lately :) She WAS however sleeping good till just the past 2 nights, they have been rough ones! Wish us luck! :) The other night she was holding her hands together around mine so tight, it was so cute...by the time I got tysons attention to take a pic, she had let go of her grip a little, but it was still worth the picture! Little Pirate Protectors! haha Don't know why she doesn't enjoy her brothers holding her :) Drew was SO cute with her, he wanted to hold her, and obviously you can tell she was crying, so I asked if he wanted me to take her and he said "No, I hold her mom." and then he would pat her back and calm her with a soft "shhhh...." Priceless moments! This is a picture that Peyt Drew of me and Tys! So adorable! I asked what was in between our faces and he said "Just look mom, think about it!" I remembered he's been trying to draw hearts, so that was my guess and SURE enough! A heart it is~ Love it! While getting Peyt out of the shower and dressed, Drew escaped in his Woody towel. He wouldn't come back and we couldn't find him...then he suddenly appeared while playing with this sword thing! It was seriously hilarious! Anyway, there ya have it! Some new pics!
