norrie!!

kids, sister

so we got a barn cat.  she is very loved.  and honestly isn’t much of a barn cat right now…

oh goodness.  this is the fun times of being a parent.  we have seen a whole new side of the kids.   i honestly can’t get enough of it. she is growing super fast and as she grows we are getting ready for her to help “outside” of our house.   i think as the kids are getting braver she is more than ready to move out too.  oh the adventures of pets. 😹

xxoo

{norrie is the mouse character from ‘hey dugee.’  on the way to pick this kitty up we narrowed it down to a name off of that show.  however, she is mostly referred to as ‘you ol cat’ – this name was given by jack ‘

jumping back in!

oh my goodness these little loves.  between parenting, schooling, having fun and i guess a million other excuses i have not come back to blog much.  deep down i miss throwing out random happenings, thoughts and quotes on here.    i tend to easily go to instagram and post pictures but lets face it, its not the same.  so as late and random as this post is… i’m hoping it will help me jump start one of my favorite little hobbies.

anna kate!!  oh you are at a super fun age!  18 months going on 18 really.   i love that you love your brothers.   you get away with almost anything.  even they laugh when you do something totally crazy and not acceptable.   you love to give kisses.  you give your mary night light kisses every night before bed.  it is probably one of my favorite things you do.  you play dress up with the boys in all their super hero costumes.   it is hilarious.  tonight you came running with thor’s hammer and a girly scream sounding like “he ya!” you say “meow” for kitty cat.   “me me” for “pretty please” you love to yell for “jack!”  as always we can’t get enough of you.  you will probably get many new random posts dedicated to you and all you are starting to do 🙂  i promise!

samuel!  i’m in complete denial that you will be 5 in november.   that just is crazy.   i’m soaking up all the 4 year old samuel i can get.  even the random tantrums.  you are so different than jack ever was.  it is such a challenge for us but i love it.   you are you and you are such an awesome kid.   you have the biggest heart.   you tell me “i love you” randomly all day.  you love anything creative and messy.   this spring is a big deal for you!  you will start your first try at t-ball.   we are so excited to see you out there.  you have been a super big brother to anna kate very loving and patient.  jack taught you well.

oh jack jack.    i love you so much.  this year has been so much fun watching you learn so much in school.  you have your good days and bad days.. but hey don’t we all?   i learn so much through you.   you have got to be the best big brother.  you make sure anna kate is well taken care of at all times.  you also make sure samuel is doing what he should be doing too. 😉  you have lost  f i v e  teeth already.   for some odd reason the one thought we would lose almost two years ago is still there ?!?  you still are in sports mode all of the time.   you have a good sense of humor.  you are my biggest helper.  i wish you didn’t have to grow up so fast.

so this post can be a mini catch up for now.   it’s good to be back 🙂
