Hello blogging world!

I have not felt like blogging in a while.  A lot of things have been happening, and I just didn't really have anything nice to say.  So, I didn't.

To begin, Jordyn is 3 months old now!  Once the colic was done.  It was DONE!  She has turned into the most wonderful baby!  I wish all my kids had been like this!  Here are some recent photos of "fat baby."

If I haven't mentioned it yet, I have been pumping and giving Jordyn bottles, and have continued to do so!  If anyone is having trouble nursing, pumping is the way to go!  It is a HUGE commitment!  (Like getting up and pumping even when the baby is sleeping through the night!)  But, it has been a real game changer around here.  I can leave.  It helps me figure out WHY she is crying and not that I am starving her to death!  So in all, I have been enjoying this process!

And what have we been up to?!  And let me remind you, I share the good with the bad!  This Mama is NOT perfect.  And I am not trying to portray a perfect life.  It is FAR from that!

To begin.....EASTER!

I have always loved Easter.  Easter and Halloween.  Holidays that involved a lot of candy!

First the kids and I colored Easter eggs with my Mom and sister Jamie!  Oh, and Emily and Ava came as well!

I put this one here because nose picking seems to be a huge problem here in this house.  We have tried EVERYTHING!  So gross....

We then had an Easter egg hunt with Yia-Yia!   She is recovering from back surgery, and she STILL had the kids over!

They made out like bandits!

Then on Easter day, we went to the zoo with my Mom, Dad, and Aunt Jamie.  I only have a few pictures.  The lions were roaring so loud you could hear them every where in the park!  So, the kids were lions as well.

This past month has been a month of being SICK!  Kids waking up at night.  Fevers.  Let's just say, it sucked.

I have been finding Gabby asleep all over.  Even at 4 in the morning.  The past two days have been better.  Spring needs to come and stay so we can open the windows and air out all this junk!

Speaking of Spring, we have been outside as much as possible!  Now that Laney and Ike are older, they can get their own boots and coats on and head outside.  The problem with this is that they do it at times without me knowing.  Like yesterday.....

Here's what happened.  The kids came downstairs from their rest and Laney had Gabby's poopy diaper in hand.  Yup.  The one Gabby took off.  So, Gabby needed a bath...

(cute huh?  Yeah, if she had not been covered in poop)

While giving her a bath, Ike and Laney went outside.

As I was getting Gabby ready to go outside, Jordyn woke up needing to eat.  So, I send Gabby outside, grab Jordyn and her bottle, and go to sit on the back porch.  Once I realized what had happened, I was feeding Jordyn.  So, I just let it go.

And here are just some random ones....

Jordyn's first time in the swing.

Ike being a baby?

Gabby and the new puppy, Deke

Happy baby!

Everybody loves Dad!

Jordyn's first carousel ride.

And last but not least.  A video.  It is not long.  About 30 seconds.  But if you would like to see what it is like in my house every day, you will need to watch!

And that my friends, is an UPDATE!
