and now for March...

I use my phone to snap pictures of random things that happen during the day, so I always end up with a lot of single pictures of silly little things.  Here are some from March:

Elsie was giving some super cute snuggles one Sunday evening.  She rested on Matt like this for quite a while.  So sweet.

These boys.  They are the best of friends, yet they fight like brothers.  Graham will always say that Mason is his best friend.  It's so cute.  I love that they have each other and that they get along most of the time.  

And then Elsie is just cute.  

One day a box came from Amazon and the boys were determined to get into it.  Nothing a half-dozen Idea knives can't handle.  Ha ha.

They never did get it open...

Larry the Leprechaun struck again and left googly eyes on the boys' food.  They thought it was hilarious.  

We made dream catchers one afternoon in hopes to help get rid of those bad dreams.  : )

Lego creations...

...and safari guys.

Elsie woke up like this one day.  I'm not really sure how she got her arm out.

Graham took a sports class at the city rec center.  He loved it.  It was just a little PE class for 4-year-olds.  They would run laps, do jumping jacks, and practice either soccer, baseball, or basketball.  The best part about the class is that the rec center is literally on the beach.  The only thing between the rec center and the sand is a small little parking lot.  It was great.

Bushman-Serafine Reunion

March afforded us an opportunity to go out to Phoenix and meet up with the Bushmans.  It was so fun!  We sure miss our med school friends, so it was great to be able to spend a few days with them out there.  We tried to get in as much as we could in just a few days and despite the six small children between us.  Ha.  Thanks, Bushmans, for spearheading this trip.  It was so much fun.  Hopefully we can have another reunion soon!  : )  

We visited Cabella's.  I think if we had to live in the wild west, these two physicians would be able to protect their families, right?  Ha.  Or maybe hunt for food?

We got to see the Phoenix temple.  It wasn't finished when we left, so we weren't able to see it complete.  It's so beautiful.  We were just a little bummed that we couldn't walk on the actual grounds.  Everything was locked up so we had to walk around it in the parking lot.

The reason for our visit, aside from seeing the Bushmans, was to go to a spring training game.  The weather was quite warm, but it was fun to go back to the Peoria sports complex.

We even got to meet up with the Teftellers and Svancaras!  

around the house

And now for a collection of phone pictures from January and February.

Nice bed head, Mason.

This is an interesting place to nap.

Late night cereal.  Graham had long since gone to bed.

I sold all our bedroom furniture and subjected poor Matt to put together a room-full of Ikea furniture. 

Graham is a ham.  He's always posing for the camera, and some of his poses are silly.

Of all the things you're supposed to put away when you're done with them, I don't think apples qualify.

Mason's car rolled under the cabinet one day, so he moved it.  By himself.  Incredible baby strength. 

Happy Valentines Day

Valentine's day must not be too exciting around here because all I ever end up with is a single picture of Valentine's breakfast.  I think this is the third year in a row of me only getting a picture of a sugary breakfast.  Ha.  But Matt made a doughnut run on Valentine's and the kids loved it.  And many thanks to our families who sent the kids such fun Valentines.  We love you!

all about Elsie

Elsie turns 9 months old this month.  I don't know where the time has gone.  Our little Elsie girl is growing up way too fast.  She's as cute as can be and so very sweet.  She's quite easy-going and is always happy.  She's really just a good-time girl.
