Sooo Busy.....

Since Aaden has started crawling my life has suddenly become much more hectic! He is into EVERYTHING! Now Mike and I are realizing how much work it is to have 3 children that are constantly each needing attention. We are definitely outnumbered! We wouldn't have it any other way, though. We are so in awe of the three little miracles God has given us....the sources of so much JOY!. It is a lot of work to take care of these three little people, but it is the best and most rewarding work possible and I am so thankful I can stay home with my babies. Work (of all kinds) is exhausting though! Not much time to myself (or to update the blog!), but definitely worth every second. Mike and I were just talking last night that one day we will have 3 teenagers....and we will have only memories to hold onto of when they were teeny tiny. So even though it is a lot of hard, exhausting work, I am just trying to soak up every second of their baby and toddler-hood because I know they grow so fast!!!! I am constantly tired and make-up (most days) is a thing of the past, but never before has my life been filled with so much joy, laughter and FUN! So please forgive that I may not be the best at updating this blog, but it is because I am happily busy wiping tears, kissing "owies", changing diapers and being the recipient of countless goobery kisses from three of my most treasured gifts! =)

So here are some pictures from the last couple weeks...

So, one evening I was upstairs putting laundry away (so fun, I know) and Mike had the duty of cleaning the kitchen after dinner. When I came downstairs this is what I found.......

work but can they cook ?
