Andrew is 3!

We had a party for our sweet boy at our house with family about a week before his birthday.  It was low key but fabulous! He had a great time!

Playing on the new play system






Had to be a Star Wars theme


Party Pics!

















And of course the crazy face pic!

Andrew Dalton, as crazy as you can be, you have one of the biggest hearts I have ever known.  The love you have for all of us just melts my heart. You are 100% boy- crazy, rough, dirty, potty humor, the works! You love Star Wars, super heroes, wrestling, the iPad (oh, how you love the iPad), legos, reading books and playing outside. You love to antagonize Isabella and miss her when she is at school.  You are constantly loving on all of your sisters. And you totally don't know your own strength, always gritting your teeth and clenching  your fists, not knowing what to do with all of your love for them. You are a great cuddler and would love to sleep in our bed at night if we let you. (I secretly love nights when it storms, and we actually let you!) You are funny, and love to try and make us laugh, usually laughing the hardest yourself. You really enjoy going to school. On great days, you declare that you are Luke Skywalker and have a good day at school. On not so great days, you decide that you are Darth Vader and your teacher gives me a worried look..You stopped napping when we moved into this new house, right before your birthday.  Don't get me wrong, you could still use naps, but rarely fall asleep during quiet time now. You have developed quite a vocabulary and you say some of the funniest things sometimes. A new one is that when you are mentally checked out or done with something, you say "game over". Not sure where you got it exactly, but boy do I have to hide my smile when you say it!

Andrew,  you make my world go around. I don't know what we would do without our crazy boy to help balance us out a little bit! Thank you for being exactly who you are! I love you soooo very much!

Easter 2013

Easter celebrations started at preschool with the washing of the feet and Easter parties!

Andrew's




Izzie's






 My parents did Easter a day early since they were going out of town the following Monday.  It worked out pretty nicely to have a whole day with each family.

The girls wore the sweet dresses that Paige made them.  So glad they fit so well!


Hunting for eggs! 




  And just some relaxing!






And we ended up have the Basses to our house. The girls wore these dresses from Jenny! So pretty! (We tried to take a family picture but it just wasn't working...if I can manage to attach the photo that Theresa sent, you'll see why...and to no fault of the photographer I should add)
