Baby chicks

Meet our newest set of twins, baby chicks Fuzzy and Albert. Fuzzy got his name because he's fuzzy and cute, Albert because he's smart like Albert Einstein (say the kids :) ). 

Here they are a couple days ago

This was the day we got them. Look how much they've grown in a little over a week! They are growing fast! 

Soccer

Halle and Luke have been playing on the same soccer team this spring. It's been a rainy and cold season so far but the kids have been troopers and played in all their games so far, even when some of gem have been super windy and freezing! Luke is funny because he complains about going to soccer but he's one of the best on the team! And I feel like once he's playing he has fun with it. But he's really into basketball right now, his spring league just ended, so maybe he is starting to gravitate more toward basketball now. It will be fun to see if as the weather gets better this spring if he decides he likes soccer more, or if he still decides he isn't a huge fan (as of now he says he doesn't want to do soccer again). I'm glad he and Halle have been able to be on the same team, though. It's always fun to have them together! 

Good big brother

The babies are learning to color! They both are interested in coloring and try to do it when they can get their hands on some markers or crayons. Avery is especially interested in it. Luke is such a good big brother and sat with her, helping her color this morning. He is so patient and sweet with her as is such a good helper!

Basketball!

Luke made 5 baskets at his game yesterday! And one was from really far away. He's loving basketball lately! He played in the winter Jr. Jazz league but liked it so much he wanted to sign up again, so now he is doing the spring league. It's fun to see him find a sport he really enjoys, and fun to see him getting so good and improving! Love this cute boy of ours!!

Stuffed animals and sleepovers

I love that they love having "sleepovers" out in our family room, and that they love to set out their favorite stuffed animals with them. They play for hours with these stuffed animals. I love that Luke will still plays with them with Halle. They get so into it.  Luke was thrilled when he won the big blue bear in an auction at school today because it could be a husband to the big white bear and the little bears would finally have a dad. He said a lot of the kids in the class wanted that big blue bear but he was the lucky one with enough tickets to get it! (They get tickets for good behavior). Between that and his two baby chicks he got today (yes, we have chicks!) he kept saying "pinch me, this must be a dream!" and "this is one of the best days of my life!" It was a great day! Love these kiddos and love being their mom! It just keeps getting better and better!

After school when he got home with the bear. 

The chicks! More to come on them!

Pillow pile!

Lazy Sunday mornings (and jumping off mom and dad's bed into piles of pillows and blankets) are the best! 

(Asher wasn't as excited about the pillow pile and would rather be throwing things down the stairs!) 

Happy St. Patty's Day!

The leprechaun visited our house and brought the kids their yearly lucky charms, turned our milk green, and all our toilet water green! We also made lucky charm Marshmellow treats, and the kids looked super cute in their green outfits. 

Luke came home from school with this he made and at first was embarrassed to try it on for me, but I made him anyway, and then he got goofy with it. Little stinker is starting to get embarrassed about doing things that seem to "little kid" to him. He's growing up too quick!
