everyday life and my brother came to visit

eleanor is super in to super heroes lately

she's super eleanor and her gloves mean business

 the weather has warmed up a little and we're happy to have some outside time

 hazel holding eleanor

 noah playing with henry

my sister got me into the bachelor this season

and i've been enjoying it more than i thought i would

especially with a humongous salad

 we put our pax system up (we will give it a built in look soon)

and eleanor thinks it's fun to hide in

but she's not supposed to be on any of the shelves...

 i thought olive telling eleanor a secret was the cutest

 henry loves this soft, blue blanket that was noah's as a baby

he pulls it out of his crib if it's close enough to grab

 mermaids

 henry let me take a picture before i put him down for his nap

such a darling boy

 eleanor was the first one ready for ballet

despite not taking classes yet...

 hazel is trying to teach henry how to walk

she calls it baby school

 i was as surprised as henry when she actually let go...

luckily he was fine

 olive finally had a super successful dental appointment

we went to a new pediatric dentist

and she got her teeth cleaned and she's scheduled for fillings that are long overdue

 this darling little busybottom

has been trying to peek out the window, emptying dresser drawers,

opening cupboards and trying to play in the bathroom a lot

 the highlight of our costco trip last week was seeing natalie

 ryan and his family came for a visit last weekend

we ate lots of good food, went to the discovery center, watched movies

the cousins had so much fun together

eleanor keeps talking about uncle ryan

olive's pretty hair for church on sunday

 a little not in the oatmeal for me to find from michael on monday morning

 henry had some wild bedhead and kept falling asleep before i put him down for both naps

he must be growing

 we had the missionaries over for dinner on monday

and they taught the kids a cool lesson about faith

 this week is our first official week of half marathon training

 out on a walk to get....

 olive from the bus for her first time

i still drive her to school but now she rides the bus home

it's such a blessing and i am so grateful

 last night i gave this cute guy a haircut

 and some early morning shenanigans from the three little ones

of course olive was the baby...

 henry is such a doll

 eventually the girls included henry on their stroller fun

by putting him down in the bottom

he wasn't so sure about it..
