Catch up

So this whole past month has almost been a blur...it has just been so so busy! April is always a crazy month with my mom's birthday, our anniversary, baseball games, double decker, Easter, springtime fun, etc. Needless to say, I have lots of pictures that I have failed to post because life has just been busy! I'm not complaining though...I would rather be too busy to update the blog than wishing I had something to do with my time.  So here it goes....THIS is how we spent that past several weeks!

Weekly race...believe it or not the bike won every race!

 This girl loves to ride her bike

 What better way to spend a rainy day but in the tub!?

 Swinging after school one day

 My little artists- they LOVE to paint

 James wanted to take Tucker for a walk this weekend...so off we went!

 James brought Price this book and pretended to read to her- so so sweet

 Price's first play date!

 Eric was out of town one night last week so I decided we could have a slumber party in Mommy's bed. Unfortunately, Price decided to get sick in the middle of the night so we were ALL up from 2:00-4:30 that night! Here is a picture from about 3 in the morning...the big kids were watching cartoons (yay for Disney Jr) and Price was happy playing.

 Circle of Sweetness

 Price has just the sweetest little personality. She is happy happy happy and so smiley. I love to listen to her laugh at James as he talks and giggles at her, and I love to see her watching Grafton and trying to copy her. She is crawling all over the place now, but I love seeing how she just crawls along at a leisurely pace...not in any hurry. She just doesn't have a care in the world and I love it! Such a little angel baby!

 Her first wave!

 Our sweet James-y boy is just hilarious! He does the funniest things! He dances anytime he hears music playing, he makes up silly games to play with us, he climbs on everything and jumps off of anything, and he hugs on everyone. He adores Grafton and will play with her till he can barely walk from being so tired! He also loves his baby sister so so so so much and kisses on her ALL the time. Sometimes I look over and he is just holding her hand while he watches TV. The other day we were sitting on the couch and he looks over and says "MY GRAFTON" and gave her the biggest hug! It was precious. And every night he insists on cuddling with Mommy, and he holds my hand as he falls asleep. I wouldn't trade that for anything- it steals my heart every time. He is my little bundle of cuddles, giggles, silliness, and energy!

 Precious Grafton has the biggest heart around. She has such a servant's heart- always wanting to help, to serve, to cook, to be the "Mommy." She is so incredibly smart- she read her first book to me last weekend!! (It was a BOB book- "Sam. Sam sits. Sam sits on Mat." etc) A sweet friend is teaching her to read this summer, and Grafton wanted to get a headstart! And when I say that James does the funniest things...Grafton SAYS the funniest things! She is a jokester and so clever.  For instance, she has the lovely habit of picking her nose these days...to which I tell her to stop and ask if she is digging for gold. The other day I told her to stop picking her nose and she said "I'm not picking it...I'm just digging for gold!" That stinker!! I love this sweet girl so much and can't believe how big she is getting- I treasure my time with her so so much.

 Oh how thankful I am for this awesome man! He is such a sweet Daddy and an amazing husband. I wouldn't want to go through this crazy life with anyone else but him!
