{a little rewind....april- iphone style}

i have really been in a blah-blogging mode the last little bit...tisk-tisk. Life has been busyness! and the weather has been splendid indeed....so we have been loving spending time in the outdoorsy. I am baffled that summer is just around the bend, and am looking forward to a swell summer with the kiddos at home. Nora is coming up on 18 months and is such a cute lil bean--with a funny personality to boot. Here is a bit of what we have been up to this month of april...you know me and my randomness love....

our fam--the lovely Lady Hue {mad talented} drew this up for me- when i went to the Bijou market...i love it...and i love that she gave me some boobs....which i do not have...

this spring has been good to us--it has been toasty--which in turn calls for the best summery treat! also i have been listening to Birdy--she is amazing--her cover of Skinny love is nothing short of grand! give her a listen--she will win you over too. Bubble town--the cure all--and z is notorious for rocking the shoes in the wrong feet.

ummm....i love this picture of Nora

my dad and i before our hunger games show-{excuse the frizz--can i blame the rain?}thought the flick was swell! Had to try this new recipe for Lemon Zuchinni Bread {here}.
Yes Nora almost 18 months still likes a baba--and?? but.. she twirls her hair whilst drinking just like her sis--and it is some cuteness.

Some sidewalk chalk art, and nothing like a morning run on the trails---where you eat it!--I was up with some friends--turned my head to talk, and i ended up doing a face plant--sliding down the hill a little--my skirt was over my head---it was pure gracefulness. I had a huge bruise on my hip and scrapes all on the front of my arms and legs---some serious trail rash going on.

caleb's first soccer game with a bit chilly--but nora turned out to be a soccer enthusiast-who knew?
whew you made it through....maybe i should post more often to keep the randomness at bay....just a thought??....

Life is random. That's what makes it so fun. Enjoyed the pics and the verbage.

Sometimes it is overwhelming to blog, but you will always be glad you did when you look back. I suppose you have more pressure than I do, because so many peeps read your blog. EEK. :)

Oh lady. I love your randoms. So fun. Your family is hilarious. We need to get the kiddos together soon. I babysat Hazel today and Levi kept calling her Zoee. I think he misses his pal.

Love your family pic. So great.

What a fun spring you guys have been having! That family sketch is so cute. It totally catches your family perfectly. So cute.

I seriously love Zoee's purple shorts. That's adorable!

Critt & Britt said...

Ouch girl. That's the worst, I fell waving at somebody while out running. So embarassing. It does give us some good sympathy for our kiddos and their many scrapes.

Sarah said...

All of your kiddos are so adorable...as always! Ouch on the fall! I do that at least once every couple of years. Mine is always on the concrete though, so I get scars:(. No fun.

Jess said...

I love seeing pics of your little fam--they are the cutest! Drawing = adorable! And I love N in her swimsuit, I can't wait till we get to that phase!!!

Tara {The Silver Lining} said...
