saugatuck 2014.

We are home! We decided to leave Saugatuck last night at bed time so the babies would all sleep on the drive home- it worked (mostly) like a charm. All three were asleep less than an hour into the drive and stayed asleep until we arrived home around 1 in the morning. Then Jonah bear came alive when he realized we were HOME and wanted to play.... until 2:30am. Oh, Jonah. Here's our "Saugatuck 2014" video....

...a sneak-up to some crazy friend action. #busted

After filling up on s'mores, the kids took it inside for lots of crazy fun. They were trying to talk us into letting them have a sleepover... this is not so much their best argument :)

bedtime shenanigans.

::Video Catch-Up::

When cleaning off my phone yesterday I came across a few random videos from the past month or so...

This was from yesterday. Jackson and Audrey played "Doctor" ALL day. They had their "doctor coats" on and brought every stuffed animal and baby doll into their hospital set up in the great room to work on the sick patients. When Jonah woke up from one of his naps I set him in the jump-a-roo while I did some dishes and I overheard them starting to tend to their newest patient... Jonah Bear. I snuck behind the corner and taped them.... poor Jonah!

This is pretty much the normal scene around our house. Jackson and Audrey giving Jonah their endless- ENDLESS, I tell you- attention. 

This was from one of our hill-running nights. We decided to set up an obstacle course to run through. Gotta wear those babies out! Jackson was ALL about it (shocker...) and Audrey loved doing it too as long as she had ample water and rest breaks- a peanut, after all, does need her rest!

Just a random little clip from having dinner one night with the cousins at Mamaw's house. I try to remember to do this every once in awhile so we can look back on their little voices and adorable conversations.

Jackson getting a hit during a cousin baseball game.

Cousin baseball. Cracks me up. It was pure chaos- and they loved it. 

...a random catch-up

I was cleaning up my phone tonight and came across some videos from the past couple of months that I needed to transfer to our computer- here are a few randoms of our every day little life...

Newborn Jonah being serenaded by Jackson & Audrey:

Jackson giving me the low-down while out at lunch one afternoon:

The babies enjoying their new trampoline:

Audrey entertaining Jonah:

Some random moments from reading the Atlas in bed when my back was hurt:

Playing with Jonah- the beginning is pretty boring, but if you get to the part where Audrey sings "Twinkle Twinkle" it is pretty adorable:

The peanut giving us a preview of her at age 16:

I took this a few days after Jackson turned 4, but forgot to post- his 4 year interview! His 3 year interview is at THIS LINK:

JP & Audrey meeting Jonah for the first time:

Love Fest.

Jackson & Audrey Love Fest.

They actually are this much in love with each other.

And I hope it stays that way forever.

Jackson's FIRST sled ride

I dare you not to smile while watching...

Tonight, Dan and I were having a little "family meeting" and, of course, Jackson wanted to be a part of the conversation so we took the opportunity to ask the little moocher when he was planning on forking over some rent money...

Tearing Paper: Hilarious

Jackson & Audrey:
Please stop being so adorable. It's making it really, really hard for mommy to face the fact that she is going back to work full-time in three weeks.
Love,
Mama

As obsessive good as I am about capturing our little moments in photos, I am really pretty awful about remembering to take videos. We tend to take a bunch for a few days and then sort of forget for a month or so, but here are a few of Jackson and Audrey from the past few days, total buddies in the making:

boy things

A couple of short videos from today: the first is Jackson showing how to throw a baseball & the second is how he plays with playdough (by squeezing it as hard as he possibly can). Such a boy! Hurry up and get here, Audrey, so I can pass along my girl skills.
