Lazy Winter Days

I can't say we have had a very exciting couple of weeks. Anthony has been out of town so I have been tired. By the time the kids go to bed I am ready to crash on the couch. I use to use that time edit, blog, read, etc. Lately I am tired and just do not have the energy. It has been a nice couple of weeks of rest, but photography is picking back up. I will post the kids photos later this week but I did Valentine minis and they turned out so cute. 

Instead we have been enjoying quiet play time....as quiet as all three can be. It has been very cold so outside time has been limited. This has meant an abundance of energy for all of them.




Ari is all over and well he is into everything his favorite being the dog water. 

 

Lilliana is my side kick. She follows me all over helping me with whatever I allow her to help with. She carries her stool everywhere to reach too. She loves to help me cook and clean. 

 

Eli is Eli and just likes to cause mischief. He purposely aggravates everybody including Anthony and I and knows exactly what he is doing. He loves to wrestle and has even started getting Ari involved. I love that they love each other. They get a long so well already. Eli is the best big brother anybody could have. 

 

He still likes his stuff to be left alone at times. I was in cleaning up Ari's toys and the next thing I know I see Ari sitting in his bumbo and Eli walking away. First, Ari hates his bumbo. He just does not like using it. Second Ari was in Eli's room. So I asked Eli as he was walking away how he got there. Eli proclaimed he had carried him and put him in there so Eli would not play with his legos and wreck his robots. I said ok. I turned to finish picking up a couple toys and went to get Ari out of the bumbo since I know he hates it and Ari had already climbed out. Yes I have another crazy boy on my hands. 

He is just silly. As of late he loves to blow raspberries..........

 

He also loves to play with Anthony just like the other two do. 

 

As of this weekend he finally started standing well and not jumping while holding onto our hands. He loves to JUMP!

 

 

And as of today we are in trouble...................there will be 3 running all over the house soon. 

 

 

I just can't believe how big he is getting. 

 

 

 

 

He is such a silly sweet boy and still spoiled. He loves to sleep with me still all curled up in my arms. The other two at this point wanted their space. Ari likes to snuggle.

 

Since Anthony has not been home much the weekend he has spent really playing with the kids. Eli got a rescue car for Christmas that needed to be built. He loves to build things. So Anthony helped him with it on Sunday.

 

Lilliana colored and enjoyed some chocolate while they built this car. She was very into her coloring. 

 

 

 

The most important part............the wheels! They were tough to put on apparantly too.

  

Of course halfway through Lilliana was not content just watching and coloring. Instead sister bombed the project and insisted on helping stool and all. 

 

 

It turned out really good and Eli loved making it. They all play with it now too. 

 

I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of spring! While we have not had a ton of snow I am ready to get outside with the kids and play. The next month is always a busy one for us! I can't believe another year has gone by and Lilliana will be 2, Eli 4, and we will be celebrating 5 years of marriage. Life truly does go so quickly. I am so grateful for the memories and blessings I have and can't wait see what more will come our way.
