March...it's gonna be a long one!

Yep, I did it again...the late July posting about March and beyond. I can think of many "excuses" but none sound quite as nice as I've been living life and not reporting on it. However, in all honesty I've been doing more posting on facebook - what a time sucker. There are entirely too many pictures and too many memories to post (although I will attempt to include all that I can remember) and looking back is a big reminder to me to "stay in the moment", which seems to get increasingly harder to do with each passing day.

Where do I begin?

Yet another birthday for me. Ada and Emmet have seemed to grasp the concept of "birthday" a little bit. They kept asking, "when are we going to eat mommy's birthday". Apparently cake is all that matters at this point!








(I just realized that I put these pics in backwards order...oops)


Fun with pig tails...



The biggest event of the month of course was Ada and Emmet's 3rd Birthday. I can't believe it! Nana and Pops were kind enough to host the party so we'd have some room. It was such a wonderfully happy day. At one point I had that full of happiness/wanna cry feeling as I was looking around at my WHOLE family; mom & dad's side altogether under one roof. I was just so proud of my family and my children...and at that very moment Ada said, "Mommy look, everybody's so happy!" with this huge smile on her face. Words just can't describe the moment. Once again, I find myself wishing life would just slow down - it's all going by way too fast.


Nana made the cakes. She's so spectacular!


Emmet loved his car cake!






Great Grandma Arenz & Ada


Emmster & his new Thomas shirt


Mostly everybody


New bikes!!!


Great Grandma Flynn watching the bike practice.





The weekend after that (I think anyway) we went to A-Z Farm to see the baby lambs. What a fun little trip! Nana even made a little book about it for Ada and Emmet, which they love looking at!

Twin lambs!







I think Ada was showing off her nails here but I can't be sure...either way I think she looks pretty darn cute.


I love this picture of Ada & Nana.


Building with Pops after (actually I think this was before) the farm. eek...check out the mess!


Nana reading the book she made about our farm trip.

Here are some random shots from Pops. I don't know what we'd do without him & his photo skills!



And last but not least...some random shots of silly times, thanks again to Pops!
