A Conversation Overheard

Today we went on a walk as we usually do. We love to go on walks and today we walked around the lake that is across the street from our house. The kids love to go over there and feed the ducks and turtles. So as I was pushing Aaden in the stroller, Mike was next to me and Preston and Ella were walking side by side behind us. This is what we overheard:

Ella: Preston? Do you like my pretty ponytail?

Preston: Yes Ella. You look very pretty.

Ella: Thanks Preston. Preston, you look very handsome.

Preston: Thank you, Ella. That's very nice of you.


He-he. Just one of those precious Mommy moments I just want to always remember. =)

Catch Up!

I guess I'm averaging about one post a month. Oh well...I'm trying! It's hard to find time. Three kids are a handful!! The big news in the LaRoe house is that Aaden is walking!! He just let go of the couch and walked across the room one day. That was it! He is a bit wobbly still, but I can't believe how quickly he picked it up! He walks everywhere now so of course we had to go buy him some new shoes. My little boy is getting so big!!

In April we went to Disneyland (yes, again!) with Grandma and Grandpa LaRoe and Jenny, Trent, Conner and Emma. This was the kids first time at Dland with their cousins. Preston experienced his first roller coaster and tried out a few other "big boy" rides. He went on splash mountain (really didn't like it much. There is a big drop which freaked him out!), Thunder mountain railroad ( a roller coaster! It doesn't drop, just goes fast) and Star tours. His all time favorite new ride was Star tours. He LOVED it! Ella went on her first little roller coaster. It was a small one, but still went pretty fast for a 3 yr. old. She didn't cry, but I'm not too sure she liked it all that much =). Aaden was just a trooper as always. I don't think he even fussed the whole time...he is such a good boy!

Ella was helping Aaden walk. I loved the matching diaper butts!! =)

I love buying matching shirts for the boys and I found my absolute favorite two ever! It's hard to tell, but Aaden's shirt says "Mommy's little monkey" and Preston's shirt says "King of the jungle".

This pic just made me smile. The kids love to tackle Daddy.

This past weekend we spent at the beach. The weather was beautiful so we went both Saturday and Sunday. The kids love the beach and so do Mike and I. While we were there yesterday Preston said "it's too bad our home isn't here". Uuummm, yeah. Too bad. I told him Daddy and I will start saving up our piggy bank money ;)

The kids LOVED the water. Now that the weather is warmer, the water was just the perfect temp. They had so much fun.

I love that Preston and Ella are in the background.
