Enjoying Spring

The weather has been beautiful for some time. We have had cooler weather occasionally and even some snow yesterday. Either way I don't mind a few cold days now and then when we have warm days too.
Unfortunately I have spent more time inside tending to babies than outside, but the kids have enjoyed it.

We put up the trampoline a couple weeks ago and the kids of course were so excited.

We took the babies outside too to enjoy the fresh air.

The magnolia's have come and gone in the past couple weeks. It is always my favorite part of spring.

The tractor has been constant source of contention between the owner and the younger brother who loves to ride it. Thankfully Eli is ever loving and lets Ari ride it.

Side note on Eli....He wears these gloves constantly and I know it is just to irritate me. He knows how I think it is silly he wears them rain, shine, 80 degrees, or -10 degrees. Either way, I am glad I took it so when he is older I can laugh and say remember when....

They all got umbrellas this year which has been perfect. They go out when it is raining frequently just to use their umbrellas and stomp in the mud.

All the while the babies and I are usually inside desperately trying to keep up with laundry.

Taking pictures, although it doesn't happen nearly as much as I would like.
They really have started to smile and coo a lot the past couple of weeks. Daphne is all the time usually. She is the happiest baby we have ever had. Annalise is serious and straight faced a lot, but then we catch her smile and it is adorable.

Several times through the day the older kids sneak in to see them and hold them. It helps mom and I can also spend some one on one time with the older kids. Although, they would gladly spend most days outside all day if we let them.

We are exhausted most days BUT I am loving this spring season and season of life. It is wonderful. As Anthony so lovingly says when crap hits the fan multiple times a  day. #lifewith5.
