Party at the Farnworths

Iree and Nate have a blast on the water slide.

The Zoo

We went to the zoo with Melissa, Averie and Keaton. It was lots of fun and of course we saw some cool animals.

Mason loves to kick Iree in the back when she rides on the front of the stroller. He thinks it is pretty funny.

Jacob couldn't wait for the reptile house. He loves the snakes and all the creepy crawly things.

Jacob and Averie looking nice!

At the elephant exhibit.

And finally a ride on the train.

Fishing

Still perfecting the cast... Yet to catch the big one!

Baseball

The Bees

Wheeler Farm

Jacob, Nash and Spencer think they can catch a baby goose but I warned them that the mom and dad wouldn't like that much. Ouch!!!

These boys are all monkey; anything that looks like it can be climbed... they climb.

They loved the old tractor.

Like I said... "Monkeys"

Jacob making mud balls from the stream.

Feeding the ducks and geese is always fun.

Poor Iree tries to keep up... she loved the geese.

Grandpa Brink Visits

We started finishing the basement so Dave came out to help us get a good start.

Jacob jumped right in with demolition!

The first wall went up and Mark is making sure it is in right.

We love swimming

Crazy Bath Hair

Ireland loves baths. We have a blast sculpting her hair.

Messy Eater

He also hid eggs in the house and back yard.

So it has been over 2 months since I last posted... lets just say...3 kids are a handful!

Well, I am so glad it is spring. We spend every minute outside. Visits to the parks and walks up to the lake happen every day. Jacob spends the whole day riding his bike, catching bugs with his two buddies, or building damns in the stream. Iree loves everything about being outside. She has so much energy and then crashes for bedtime. Mason just loves watching his brother and sister and is very content outside. Iree got to pick a tulip... she couldn't stop smelling it. I just hope I don't find all the others secretly missing.

Iree has so much fun playing with Mason and making sure he doesn't miss out on things like smelling the flowers.
We are so happy we can be outside. The spring days have been beautiful.

Mason is so ready to start chasing Iree around. Iree you better watch out!

We spent an afternoon at Great-Grandma & Grandpa Horton's house. The kids played with Lincoln logs, puzzles, and shagged golf balls for Grandpa. We also had red punch... note the mustache on Jacob.

This is a warm day in March. We spent the whole day on walks, at the playground or sitting in the front yard watching the kids ride bikes. Mason loved feeling the grass for the first time.

Mark's nose has a way of putting Mason to sleep. He always grabs for Mark's nose and won't let go. I guess each child has their own little quirks.

In February we went swimming before Brogan's birthday party. Jacob and Parker always have a good time. Mark and Iree stayed in the warm kiddy pool the entire time.
