Cupcakes and Coloring

When Levi was at school the other morning Maci and I had to bring Luke to the doctor. We were a little early so I decided to stop at the bakery to have her pick out a treat. She loved looking at all treats. She picked out a cupcake for her and then one for Levi to have after he got home. They loved the frosting more than anything...who wouldn't. The cupcakes also had rings too. What is better than that. Maci and Levi also love to color and work on "school". We usually have some "coloring music" on as Levi calls it..either classical, piano, guitar...and they stay busy for a while. I love the concentration on some of these pictures.

Wedding Princess Maci

The other day I was moving some things around in the closets and pulled out my wedding dress. Maci loves dressing up and most days she puts on her clothes and then puts on some princess dress up clothes. She calls me either mama tinkerbell or mama princess most mornings. She also loves putting on her tinkerbell lotion, brushing her hair with only her princess brush and then spraying her hair with her "spray hair" and last part of her beauty routine is putting on both her princess lip gloss and her Dora chapstick..Do I look like a princess now..she asks..I so pretty today! She loves to twirl and pretend that she is a dancing princess it is so precious to watch. So I let her put on my  wedding dress and she thought it was so pretty. I of course got a little sentimental watching it all...and got some cute pictures.

Winter Fun 2013

Most every Saturday Ryan makes pancakes and sausage for breakfast or as Maci calls them hotdogs. We had a warmer Saturday and everyone including Luke and I went outside to play after breakfast. We went for a walk around the neighborhood and the kids love playing with the 3 wheeler with the sled. Levi and Daddy also went out side again later that afternoon and built a snowman. The picture of the three kids in the sled and Luke looking frozen in the stroller was from the day before when I was working Ryan took all the kids outside for some fresh air and to tire them out before bed.

Sometimes when Luke wears Levi's old clothes I have memories of four years ago with Levi.

Luke has been such a good boy the past few weeks. I know that his teeth are bothering him and he keeps smiling and bouncing those legs. His mouth is really swollen and his right eye tooth just came through. He loves the cold teether and pain medicine helps him too. Luke weighs around 20 lbs now, he got his weight checked when he had his ear rechecked from an ear infection. No infection anymore but still healing up so we got a prescription for numbing ear drops which seem to help. He still takes baby food but is becoming less interested in getting fed and ready to fed himself. He eats some parts of our meal at supper. He loves puffs and crackers. He is still completely entertained by his brother and sister. Lately, he likes pushing toys with buttons that make sounds and rolling balls back and forth to him. He laughs when stuffed animals are in his face..He babbles and says dada. He is a cuddler and loves to get rocked at night.
