Little Guy in the Big City: July 2016

What was I thinking?

Maybe a smoothie in a cup wasn't such a good idea? I love her face after she dumped the whole thing all over herself!

Mother's Day

Conan got Audrey and I matching dresses for Mother's Day. We had a great day being twinkies!

Audrey loves to steal lightsabers from the boys. Her classic move is to squeal as loud as possible until she gets her way. It works like a charm, for now. She may be just a bit spoiled with these boys who adore her so much.

Lake Minnetonka Half Marathon

The biggest hurdle to this one was getting out of the door. Half the family had a stomach bug the morning of the race. Audrey threw up on me right before I left. Luckily my parents were there to watch the kids, so Conan could cheer me on. It wasn't pretty, but I did it!

Chris' turn

Look at these guys eating lunch together! Such a crew!

10 Years!

I know this is our kid's blog, but March 18th of this year was especially important for our family. We celebrated 10 years of marriage! We found a babysitter for all 3 kids... That doesn't happen very often! We went to Gianni's Steakhouse in the adorable town square of our city (thanks Gaga and Bob for the gift card!). What a special night, and what a blessing to have 10 years with this amazing man.

Bryce's class makes Facebook

The Bunny Show

We all had to get pictures with Audrey in her pink fur coat!

More sleeping kids...

Does Amy take pictures of her kids unless they are sleeping, you may ask. Occasionally, but aren't these darling?

Audrey's First Birthday Party

We had so much fun getting ready for Audrey's first birthday party! We had her little buddy Lyra over, along with her family. Conan finished his amazing train cake the night before. It may have been his best one yet, but I'm slightly biased since it was all my favorite colors. The pictures from the actual party are on my other camera, but I promise, it was about as magical of a first birthday party as you can get ; ). Love, love this little girl!

Lightsabers

I never knew we could have so many lightsabers in our house. We have them that light up, made of pool noodles, made from wrapping paper rolls that my dad helped with. They are very well loved around here.

Smile!

This is such an Audrey face. I love her scrunched up nose!

Triplets

Matching shirts, matching people.

Jokes from the boys...

Tricycle

Audrey's favorite thing to do in our basement is climb on her trike. As soon as we get home, she heads right to it and wants us to push her around on it. It's just about the cutest.

Car selfie!

Big hike!

One day after school we took the boys and their friends on a hike. The snow had just melted and it was squishy! They loved it and came up with so many adventures!

Dr. Audrey

After a year of checking her heart every day, Audrey loves her stethoscope. I'm hoping one of these kids is going to be a cardiologist after this whole experience : ).

Outside!

I love when winter is over--- we all really appreciate being outside. The kids really appreciate it, like they want to just lay around outside.

Chris!

Love this one!

Nap time

Sometimes you just need to wear a fancy dress and nap on your dad.

Spaghetti

I made Audrey leftover spaghetti for lunch, and just set the bowl down so I could get a plate. When I turned around I realized she probably didn't need a plate. Spaghetti has always been her favorite food!
