Week 13!

 

March 26, 2011
Today we went to Cle Elum to spend some time with all of the Meulman Family (Brian's mom's side).  We rented a lodge and some cabins up there so we could all get together.  It isn't often that we are able to get together with all of the extended family. It was a good time and the kids had a blast.  Brian and his siblings are the oldest of the cousins so when we get together our kids really enjoy playing with Brian's younger cousins that are around the same ages.  The lodge that we stayed at was beautiful.  It was up in the woods with nothing around it.  It had a beautiful patio and outdoor eating area.  It would be a great place to rent in the summer with the beautiful weather that Cle Elum gets.  The kids enjoyed playing in the little bit of snow that was left.  They had some little snow sleds up there that the kids couldn't get enough of.  It was a great weekend and I was glad that we were able to spend some time with the family.

 

 

 

Maycee is loving her bouncy chair.  This has been a favorite for all of my kids.

 

 Something to know about the Meulman Family.  They love to play cards.  Something I have learned about playing cards with them.."there are no friends in cards."

 Now you know where my kids get their craziness from.  Their AUNTIE!!! These photos explain it all.

As you can tell from the picture we were worn out from the weekend.  This is what our Sunday afternoon looked  like.  Auntie walked in on us looking this way and thought it would be a great picture.  I am pretty sure that Brian was suppose to be in charge but he must have been exhausted too.  Thank goodness the older too were good enough to sit and quietly play together and watch a movie.  My favorite in this picture has to be Cooper all snuggled up into the back of the couch.

Here is what I got to do today.  My friend Missy and I were able to go to the Women's NCAA tournament sweet 16 games that were in Spokane.  We had bought tickets quite a while ago not knowing who we would be able to watch but knowing that it could possibly be Gonzaga.  Well we took our chances and that is who we got to see.  It was a great time even though the Lady Zags lost.  It was fun to see the support from the Spokane area.

Here is my little man.  I love how peaceful he is when he is sleeping.  I love that he has to cuddle with his blankie.  Cooper is going a million miles an hour from when he gets up to when he goes to sleep.  So when he finally lays down he crashes.  It cracks me up how much energy he has.  He is constantly running, bouncing, jumping, hoping, or moving.  He does not stop.  So when he gets like this I love to just stare at him. 

Well that moment is over.  Tonight we took the kids to get ice cream at McDonald's.  They loved it as you can tell.  Not one of them was able to finish the whole cone but it definitely was a treat for them.  What crazy boys we have.

These are two of my goofballs.  They were so proud of their "cool" hair after bathtime.  My boys loving having mohawks and hate that I won't cut their hair so they have an actual mohawk.  So one of their favorites things while in the bath and after bathtime is to give themselves faux hawks.  They crack me up. 

 

Yep they are "COOL"

This boy is getting to big.  I woke up to him laying in the chair this morning.  Sometime in the middle of the night he woke up and came and cuddled up in the chair to read a book.  He obviously was still to tired that he needed more sleep.  Somethings I love about this picture though is that he has a love for reading.  The next thing that I love is that even though he is getting older and bigger he still will cuddle up with his blanket.  I also love but am sad to see how big he is getting.  It seems like it wasn't long ago that he could cuddle up in the seat of this chair and not have to hang over the edges.  I love this boy and the little man that he is becoming.

Here are my 3 boys doing what they love.  This is one of their favorite things to do.  They love playing games on the computer.  I love how they enjoy being together and playing with each other.  It really makes me happy that they can play so well together and enjoy being with each other.
