Since January, we've pretty much just partied. Besides all the maintenance of having young kids, I seriously have a lot of fun with my kiddos. I am in a phase of life that I am really enjoying, hopefully I can keep a positive attitude even when things won't always be bright and sunny like they have been for us. Here is a visit to the zoo:
I made June a quilt that I never got a proper picture of, but its a chevron pattern, flowery, and very girly! I love how it turned out. For the backing, I used a vintage sheet that I actually used as a kid, so it is really soft and pretty.
We had to make our semi-annual appearance at a wildcat basketball game, and it was another great one! We seem to get lucky by going to the best games.
Playing legos :)
I love this sweet moment I caught of my boys, because this is typically not like them, to sit still together for too long.
We put Isaac in soccer, I think he mostly loves the attention he gets from us :) But it is fun to watch him get better and better at something he likes.
My sweet June baby is already 10 months old as of yesterday. I just can't believe it. A big part of me just wants her to stay like this forever! She is so sweet-tempered and happy and loves our little family so much. She is so excited to see everyone when she wakes up in the morning, and laughs so hard at all the funny boys in her life. She is very aware of strangers and not super friendly unless she knows you. She just barely started crawling and eating solid food about a month ago, and now she is already walking along the furniture and playing at our little water table outside. I love her little raspy voice when she says 'mama'. The tantrums have not begun yet, and I think that adds to her sweetness that I don't want to let go of. :)
My mom came over to play the other day and the boys had so much fun! We made cookies and played in the new sprinkler outside. My mom and I also made chili rellenos for the first time, which are the long skinny chilis (I forgot what they're called) grilled, with the skins gone - then you roll them in egg whites, and fry them. And they were amazing.

Jen I love reading your updates. You have such a cute family. That little June sounds a lot like my Isla. I know how you feel!! She is stinking adorable, too. And your boys look like they are just best buds. So fun. And I'm super impressed with your porch!!! Glad things are going well for you guys. Oh and beautiful quilt, too! Love it so much! (ps i think you asked me on my blog how long we will be in Germany--total of 3 yrs...so 2-2.5 more years at this point. You guys should come to Europe some time! )
