Summer has arrived!

OK, so it is a warm spring here in Boise. Caleb and Ellie are enjoying their new swimming pool and looking adorable in their new swimsuits from Grandma.

Levi is 2 weeks old

Can't get enough of this little guy. He is such a good baby. He is a great sleeper and very mild mannered. We need this since we just found out that we are moving in a few weeks to Reno, Nevada. I especially appreciate having a peaceful third child. Three is a challenge! I count my day as successful if we are all up, fed, and dressed by 11am. If I get a shower by 2pm, that is even better. I then spend the rest of the day taking care of kids and just picking up the messes around the house. That is about it for now. I am super tired by the end of the day. I can't believe I am a mother of three!

Caleb plays for the Wildcats!

Caleb told me last year that he wanted to join a soccer team. We gave it a try this year. His first game consisted of Caleb crying on the sidelines because he didn't want to play. When coach had the kids play "duck, duck, goose" to get warmed up, Caleb wouldn't even budge when he was tagged. So, in an effort to show Caleb how fun it was to participate, I was the goose for Caleb and chased around 4 year olds when I was 9 months pregnant. I am sure I looked ridiculous! The pictures posted show Caleb playing (this is game 3). He had a blast! We sure were proud parents. This was the first and last game he played in. We were happy that he at least gave it a try. I think we will opt out of sports next year.

Caleb is a big brother, twice!

Caleb is such a good helper. He loves Levi so much and enjoys holding him for me. He asked me one morning, "Mom, do you want me to hold Levi so you can fold the laundry?" What more can a mom ask for?

Ellie watching baby Levi

Ellie wasn't so sure she liked the new baby at the hospital, but it didn't take long for her to love him...even love him a little too much. She loves to watch me take care of him. She is my little future mother.
