Brother time is good. Happy boys are great!
Please remember this picture. I thought they were filthy, though it was fun to let them be messy and 'into' their play._________________________________
When these yellow roses bloomed, we found petals all over the house and yard. Anything within Ranne-height was stripped and scattered. Scott encouraged him to leave petals on my pillow, which made it sweet and forgivable that our bushes were suddenly bare. These flowers are my 'Mother's Day' flowers, fresh and very fragrant._____________________
Ladies Pedicure and Movie Night:
This was great. The ladies watched two chick-flicks, painting their nails wild and crazy colors (Briana branched out from her general cream polish to mauve!)_______________________________________________________
Zoo Trip:
All the walking tuckered this guy OUT. Or perhaps it was the apple, like Sleeping Beauty.
Cousins are great!Uncle Brendan and Auntie Sarah

Around the CSC:
Kevin's visit brought many smiles from Trey. It was great!
These boys put themselves and me in Daddy's office for time-out. We're learning all over how to sit without being distracting. Trey's arrival seems to have made them think I'd be too busy to mind them. Perhaps so.

___________________________________Okay, now THIS is messy. The next day, it got worse. All this sand down the bath drain is going to cause problems soon. An friend in the church was helping Scott with the electrical on our house. Ranne took advantage of the distraction to strip and make mud puddles with the garden hose. I was cleaning floors. UG!
____________________________CSC Summer Kick-Off Party
Calendar Review for Summer. It's going to be busy, wild.
What the boys do when everyone's busy. Great smile, Ranne.Games til 1am!

Oh. THANKS for making the time to blog! We have yet to experience a mud episode as you have pictured... I don't like messes. It's a problem that I don't. Kids = mess.
Looks very busy and sounds like more to come!
Amanda!!!!! LOL Your blog is making me LAUGH this time!! LOL!! All the messes!!! Awesome!! lol I try to be relaxed about our children making messes ... 'try' being the key word there. To this day my chest tightens up and my eyes start to dart about when my instinct is to tell them to stop, yet my mind knows this certain mess is a 'good' mess to be made ... for whatever reason/s.... *sigh*
Wow, I'm greatly enjoying the pictures of your older two boys interacting with and enjoying your younger one!!!!! How precious it is to already see their affection for him!
Trey sleeping in his green outfit brought tears to my eyes and a lump to my throat because I haven't held him yet. Those little bent legs are more than I can take tonight. Justus OFTEN slept with his arms above his head; once his arms were long enough, around 8 months, he would often sleep with his hands behind his head ... and still does today. :) It defines 'relaxed'. ;)
Brendan and Sarah look great, as does the continued work at the CSC!! I COMPLETELY empathize with you about the periods of re-training!!!!! My-oh-my, they frustrate. All is well, however, because the results leave no doubt it was the right thing. :) Here's a pat on the back for taking the time and self-discipline to make it happen. *sigh* [On that picture I'm going to point out to N & J that Ranne's shirt matches Justy's 'Got Mud?' Montana shirt!! :) ]
It always makes me smile to get to see a new picture of Scott. :) But ... none of you this time 'round! :( Maybe next time. :)
Hugs!!!!! Thanks for posting!!!!!
