Sweet little Hunter "reading" Good Night, Moon just a few months after his second birthday. (He's so smart!)
Noah's class got to go on a field trip to the World Bird Sanctuary. Of course, his two brothers and baby sister tagged along too. It was a little bit chilly, but they did not seem to mind!
Noah is looking through the eagle on the right.
Sweet little John in this one...of course, Noah is making sure he's doing it right.
Notice how he has to stick his little hands up there too.
I think he might be a bit too big of the baby bathtub, but who can resist these sweet boys! Love these precious moments when they just want to be with each other and with us.
John's class hatched butterflies from cocoons. As a project, they also made caterpillars out of old egg cartons and put them in bags. When they weren't looking, the teachers attached wings to them, so they also turned to butterflies.
Milk coma.
There are about 11 boys on our little street that are 8 or under. One family filled water balloons for the boys. They worked so carefully for about 45 minutes to fill them. Of course, the boys had them all popped in about 2 minutes. They had a really great time!
Somehow, John ended up with orange balloon remnants in his ear.
Sweet baby Pip, in her super cute Baby Legs!
I just can't get enough of this sweet sleeping beauty! And those cheeks!!
From time to time, when we need a little car maintenance, Uncle Brad is kind enough to get us a loaner to avoid sitting at the dealership for hours with many small children. They do not always have DVD players...and sometimes mommy can't figure out how to work them. Sometimes, desperate times call for desperate measures.
Over Mother's Day weekend (2014, remember), one of our nephews got married in Ohio. I think this might have been our first real car trip with Piper. She did pretty well. It was fun to be with most of Greg's family and just enjoy each other.

When you leave your baby with Auntie Joanna, there is always a selfie on your phone when you return.
Hunter and John watching a little TV while we all get ready for the wedding.
One of the many advantages to older cousins: They play in the pool with your babies.
Noah was the ring bearer at the wedding. He was the most handsome one there! During the pictures, the photographer commented about how Noah was cooperating better than the groomsmen. We are so proud of our sweet boy!
Happy girl!

...and one more in the car.
May 2014 also brought Noah's Kindergarten graduation! Hard to believe!! As last year, the preschool and Kindergarten graduation is done together and the kids do a circus. Noah was a "gator boy" (totally their idea). He and his buddy tamed alligators. We are just so proud of Noah and how he has excelled in school.

What would a circus be without snow cones for everyone!?!
Last day of Kindergarten
Last day of 3 year old Pre-school
Just excited that his favorite playmates only have one more day of school!
Pretty smile!
