What have we been up to?!

What have we been up to lately...well...lots!  Still organizing the house (I will post some pics soon!), running errands like crazy, waiting on contractors to show up at the right time, driving back and forth to preschool, making as many play groups as we can, getting back in touch with our crafty side, having fun with our new neighbors, dance and gymnastics class, and still managing to have some lazy time at home!  

And some pics of some of the fun we have been having!

Ainsley and I did hair and nails during Lucy's naptime today :)  A little mommy-daughter time!  Doesn't her hair look like its getting lighter? 

Awwww...my sweet 3...Lucy doesnt look so sure!  Oh matching outfits are so much!  Tried to tie Evan in with some orange in his plaid :) 


We have been doing LOTS of legos!  He gets better everytime!  Too fun!


We have made a few donut/coffee runs!  Ains and I making a Saturday coffee run!


Evan LOVES playing on the computer!!! And sorry to brag...but he is so good at it!  Am always impressed by how he can work our ipad better than me...haha...I guess I dont really know what a 4 year old can do on the computer so to me its impressive :)  He loves having computer time while his sisters are napping.  He can be completely independent on Disney Jr but of course LOVES Disney XD because it has superhero games!


And it always seems like my kids are wearing some sort of costume!  They LOVE to dress up!



Last week....Lucy started wearing some 6 month clothes!  Little peanut is so short BUT legs are getting SO chunky...I couldnt button her romper today...haha!


And we have had some playdates :)  Ainsley loves carrying a purse with her!


Lucy just never stops smiling!


We have also been doing lots of thumb sucking!  And lots of food eating!  I have whipped up all sorts of stuff for her already...I think avacados, homemade applesauce, and mashed banana are her favs.  And her sleep is starting to improve a little bit!


And of course we have been enjoying our backyard!  We love it out there!







Looking forward to lots of upcoming fun too!

Spring Breakers!

So last week was Evan's spring break from preschool so we tried to do some fun things each day :) Though between having two crazy little sisters and still having warranty work done on the house...we didnt really every leave Oro Valley!

We did though spend lots of time outside!

Such a ham!


The kids bounce in this almost everyday!


The kids had a blast at gymnastics world!  Thinking this will have to be in our summer activity rotation...



I got a new ride!  hahaha!  Well it was really for all of us :)  And I  LOVE IT!  Never knew I could love a van so much!  Power everything and the kids are completely independent!!!! WOOHOO!


Lucy did so good with us at the dealer...and thank you Sara for helping us out! you rock!


Christian prefers to ride in the back where he can see the TV!  LOL.


Lucy loves it too...haha-was waiting for my friend at Target...this got several laughs by people in the parking lot...


Snuggle bunny-didnt want to nap this day!

We have been taking some fun bike rides...he is getting so fast!  And growing because we had to raise his seat!  Loves riding to his neighbors house :)  The house of boys!


Enjoying some ice pops with the neighbors!


Ainsley PROCRASTINATES all forms of nap and bed time...usually by pretending to sleep random places around the house...crazy girl!





And a few of Lucy bouncing in her pony!


I know...is this girl every NOT smiling?!


And a big thing for Ainsley this week...BIG GIRL Gymnastics!!!!!  LOVE LOVE LOVE My Gym and SO sad to leave the class with all our friends...but the mom and me with Lucy and Evan is just too hard :(  Trinity gymnastics will take them solo at 2.5 years...sooooo we will be there now :)  BUT still gym members so going to try and make open plays still!


tumble track!







She did so well!

Yesterday...we tried dance!  Well...she was so excited...but it was a little more intimadating for her...so she just watched the first class.  Today we practiced our plea-A's, leaps, airbesks, pointing, flexing...and all the skills they did in class.  So maybe next week will go better :)


Awwww puppy love!


Lately...Ainsley is looking so much older to me...


Somedays...it's so hard being TWO!



A few of Miss Lucy so wanting to crawl!


Dont you love all the faces babies make?!



She got it!


Evan is such an amazing big brother and I think the expressions on Lucy's face in these pics...SAY IT ALL!  I told him today...how PROUD I am of how sweet and caring he is of his little sisters (he got a little embarrassed grin).  He is just such an easy-going guy!  And going to make one awesome hubby one day!



Do you see all the LOVE that I see?!



Sorry this is blurry...was trying to shoot in manual!  But had to post anyway...love her little expression :)


Did better this time :)


Ending a long post with this adorable little guy :)  Just love him!  Hope you enjoyed your spring break Evan!!!!

Sorry I dont get to posting more...TODAY was the first day this week where I had an hour of all 3 kids down for a nap and even as I type this...Lucy is in my lap because she woke up from her nap :)
