Glimpses of May

Because I'm so behind, I'm just sharing a bunch of pictures from May.  Like I mentioned before, our spring weather has been A.MAY.ZING.  Seriously the best I ever remember.  We usually get a total of a handful of warm days in April through June.  This year we had week after week after week of warm and even HOT days.  We've already played in fountains five times (plus our pool and sprinklers a number of other times).  Salem's fountains aren't coming on until this Friday (lame!), so we've been to Monmouth, McMinnville, and Wilsonville for our fountain fun.  I haven't taken many pictures while we've been out and about (I'll let you figure out why ;), but here are some cute ones from home...

We borrowed Madi Olson's Pinkalicious bike, because I wasn't sure if Cooper would be interested in riding a bike.  She LOVES it!  Judson has learned to ride without training wheels, but apparently I only have videos of that...

Sweetest, happiest guy I know

He puts up with A LOT.

My Mother's Day cinnamon rolls, made from scratch by Nate.

He was awfully proud of himself.  They were delicious!

This girl cracks me up!  She has a baby strapped on in her baby carrier (similar to mine), a doll in her arms, and her "coffee" (it's empty).

Poolside picnic lunch on a hot day. ;)

We hatched pink spotted ladybugs and released them and we currently have an ant farm going (birthday gifts from Bridgett and Phil)

Four months old already!!

Cooper taking pictures with my old camera

I was just trying to get my pictures taken because Porter was DONE, but there was Cooper, sticking the purple and white bunny in and generally getting in my way.  :)

Our first baby to like the Bumbo-type seat!  Hopefully his thighs don't get much chunkier, or he won't fit.

Spring Pictures

So, I'm definitely struggling to get back into the blogging "habit."  Here's a post I started almost two months ago...

Cooper and Judson both have their half-birthdays in the spring.  It nicely coincides with Easter.  I can easily rationalize getting Easter outfits because we use them for their pictures, too.  (Plus we had Cooper dedicated at church two years ago in her Easter dress, and we had Porter dedicated a couple of weeks ago, while his shirt still fit.  :)  For the record, I got Cooper's dress for $9, so it's not like I have to do too much rationalizing.  :)

I already posted Cooper's two and a half pictures.  Here's Judson at four and a half:

 

  

Porter at two months (looking a little goofy :)

 

And all three together.  These turned out better than I was anticipating.  I tried not to get my hopes up.  :)

I love this one!

This one is pretty cute, too. :)

One month ago...

...I wrote my last post.  Sorry about that!  Life happened, I guess.

The weather has been AMAZING around here.  SO much sun and so many warm (even HOT) days!!  We've been busy.

In addition to that, Porter has been sleeping horribly.  As in, waking up almost every single hour all night long.  I'm not exaggerating.  Judson was sick a couple of weeks ago, which meant he was waking up, too.  And Cooper occasionally wakes up (I think she needs her adnoids out...we go in about that tomorrow).  After a particularly rough number of nights, I only had to get up FIVE (!!) times one night and it felt like a vacation.  Insanity!

My final excuse for not blogging is that the picture resizer I use for posting pictures on here hasn't been working and I need Nate to figure it out for me.  Hopefully very soon.
