Lots and Lots of pictures!

 

Photo Dump Time!

 

A couple weeks ago Chelsea went in for her first pedicure with her friend Katelyn.  We went to Olive Garden for lunch and then headed to Nail Montage afterwards.  Aren't the kid sized Hello Kitty chairs cute?!  The girls had a blast!

 

Pretty Nails!

 

Tyler wandering around the nail salon :)

 

My little monkey. This table has now been removed from the living room!

 

We had some of our friends over a couple weekends ago for a play date, drinks and dinner.  I LOVE gatherings that are both kid friendly and adult friendly :)

 

Cheers!

We had one last (HOPEFULLY!) Spring snow storm last week.  This was my parents car the next morning!  

 

The one good thing about Spring Snowfalls is that they temps aren't so horribly cold.  Ben took both Chelsea and Tyler out to play in the fresh snow!

 

The kiddos were so excited to go outside that they were tickling, kissing and laughing with each other while we were trying to get them ready.

 

One night before bed last week.  Chelsea was practicing writing her letters.  I love this book.  It's a wipe off workbook so she can use it over and over and over again.

 

I couldn't resist snapping a picture of my adorable baby boy passed out on his back.  He looks so innocent here!

 

 

Chelsea received some 'real mail' last week from her friend Maddie!  

  

 

last weekend we had another kiddos playdate / adult get together. So darn cute!  We all had a great time.

 

 

Sorry Bridget and Brandon!  This is what happens when there is only one (besides a young toddler)boy hanging with a group of girls :-)

 

Austin and Katelyn joined me upstairs while I was prepping dinner.  I gave them coloring books and crayons.  They both made me a picture and asked me to hang it on the fridge.  Their pictures are right next to Maddie's now. I don't think I'll ever take these down :)

 

My friend Valerie delivered a beautiful baby boy (Owen) on March 14th.  I'll never forget his birthday because it is the same as Ben's.  I went to visit Val, Owen and her toddler Audrey this past Sunday.  Owen is so stinkin cute!  I could've held him all day long.

 

I brought Chelsea with me to visit Val so we stopped for lunch on the way home.  It was nice having a little Chelsea / Mommy relax time.

 

I took Tyler with me to run errands Sunday afternoon.  I had to go to Petco and Tyler was drawn to the dog toys.  Of course I gave in and bought him two balls :)

 

Chelsea helping daddy prepare veggies for the grill.

 

I brought Chelsea in for a hair cut this week.  We went to Kids Hair for the first time and liked it so much better than Snip Its.  Chelsea was VERY happy that Frozen was on the TV during her haircut!

 

Tyler just hanging out

 

Beautiful!

 

The stylist put a cute braid in Chelsea's hair after she was finished cutting it!

 

Blue Tongue! 

 

What a happy little girl!

 

At Nadia Cakes!  Grandma Loveland bought Chelsea a cupcake :)

 

This is the FIRST time that Tyler has willingly had a couple bites of cake!  I guess he prefers expensive cup cakes :)

 

My parents were in town for Grandparents Day at Chelsea's School.  After they visited her at school my mom convinced me to go out to eat.  I shy away from bringing Tyler out to eat because he is such a handful.  He refused to sit in the high chair and was pretty high maintenance, but wasn't a complete train wreck.  Thank Goodness!

 

Tyler was starting to get antsy so I put him next to me in the booth.  I'm guessing this will be the end of him ever sitting in a high chair again.

 

My kids love going with me to the chiropractor's office.  Look at all those toys!

 

A lazy day a couple weeks ago.  Snuggling with Molly on the couch!

 

Ben and I used to love playing Guitar Hero before we had kids.  We took it out a couple weeks ago for the first time in years to play.  I still love it!

 

My parents were in town a couple weeks ago and took us out to eat at Jake's off of 55.  It was a great lunch and I had the best Fish Taco's there.  Can you tell the Loveland Family  likes to go out to eat?? :)

 

Feeding Grandpa fries

 

 

I ordered a couple car storage goodies from 31.  Hopefully this will help me keep my truck clean with all the kid 'junk' organized instead of thrown everywhere.

 

Chelsea loves having goodies within her reach in the car!

 

A picture from earlier tonight. Wednesdays are very busy days for the kids and I.  After dinner I needed to take a couple minute rest break on the couch.  As soon as I did (can you tell I don't sit down too often?!) 3 of my kids decided it was prime time for attention :)
