I think every post starts out the exact same way....."how can it have been so long since the last post?" or something similar to that. Well, this post should start the exact same way! It's almost like that diary that you wanted to keep as a child or teen, and you promised that you would write everyday and as you look back, there is 1 entry. Well, it's been to long, but here is a glimpse into what's been going on.....

We had Steve's parents here for a week long visit where Grandma was used and abused the kiddos. Boy did they LOVE playing with Grandma, going to the park, taking walks, and playing! She must have slept for a few days straight after she got home!
Grandpa was used and abused by us! We put him and his expertise to work fixing a broken pipe, teaching Steve how to change the brakes, put up new light fixtures, spray painting our ceiling fans. He also enjoyed several trips to Menards (like Home Depot only better!). We are thankful that they come to visit (for many reasons) as that is the only time things get done around here!!

Brielle has been a busy little girl. She is learning so many new words and sounds! She loves to make animal sounds or any other sound that she can repeat. She spends most of her day doing whatever Isaiah is doing. He makes a sound, she usually makes the same one too! Next month we have an appointment to see a Pediatric Opthomologist as one of her eyes is crossed quite often. We are not sure what this new development will entail, but we will keep you all posted!

Isaiah has been a busy guy too! He is growing up fast. He informed me the other day that when he gets older he will be able to read. I told him I didn't want him to grow up, and he said he would only grow up enough so that he could read. He just says the best things in the world. Today we were at a restaurant and when we came back to the table Steve had given Isaiah his applesauce. Isaiah responds, "Well, will you look at that! It's my applesauce!" He has been practicing using his balance bike, hopping on one foot, and getting taller.

The only other excitement in our house recently was the removal of a dead tree from our back yard.  Mr. Kurt and Steve took a Saturday morning and cut it down. Here are some of the pictures.

The only thing I really ever want on Mother's Day is a picture of me and my kiddos, so here are this year's pictures:
