What we have been up to....

A little update on the Nerio's

Brooklyn-  Now that she is four, she might as well run this house!  She knows EVERYTHING!!!  She will tell you everything about everything!  She can boss her little brother and sister around like no other!  It is ridiculous!  She loves playing in the sprinkler at night when daddy waters the yard, and her favorite thing right now---PLAYING CRAZY EIGHTS.  Every night since Julie was here about a  month ago we have played at least three games of crazy eights before bed.  And I mean every single night!!  So we have played atleast 100 games of crazy eights, and Brooklyn is crazy good at it too!  Her favorite saying is "Rock On Baby!"  She loves to use words like--especially, actually, obviously, and whatever else sounds like a big word!  She is also a shoe queen--flip flops, light up shoes, sandals, flip flops, and flip flops!!

Jamison-- "Doin?" "HEY YOU" and "NO WAY" are his favorite sayings!  He is saying SO many words right now!  He still loves his little doggy and carries it around everywhere!  He likes trucks, airplanes, motorcycles, animals, his lawnmower, playing outside, watching for the trash truck, HELPING, and wants to know what your "Doin?"  He is one funny little dude!!!  He likes to dance, follow Brooklyn around, give kisses and hugs, jump, run, and do all the things a normal two year old little boy does!  Only a month until he is two--I can't believe it!

Raegan-- She is ten months old!   "Uh oh" is her favorite word, also will say momma, dadadadadad, and babbles quite a bit!  And this girl has a temper!!  You take anything away from her, and she throws a FIT!!!  She is crawling FAST, pulling herself up on everything, and tries to keep up with her big brother and sister!  She will show you that she is " SOOOO BIG".  She has even crawled up on the fire place a few times! She likes to patty cake, blow kisses, give kisses, shutting doors and slamming the kitchen cupboards.  She will be walking in no time!    She would much rather have real food than her baby food!  She has had her bottom two teeth for quite some time now, but now has one (if not two) of her top teeth to add to the chomping.  She is content playing on her own, but loves her big bro and sis!  She is a happy happy girl!

Overall our kids are hilarious, cute, and pretty well behaved!  They make us laugh every single day!!! 

Hair cut

This shaggy haired baby boy....

Is now a handsome little man!!

He looks so adorably honery it is not even funny!

Brooklyn even said that he "looks handsome."

Daycation

We FINALLY had a free weekend, and since it was a three day weekend we decided to load up the minivan and go see Uncle Jason, Aunt Angela, and Cousin Katherine!

And boy did we have fun!

COUSIN LOVE!!

"What is this guy talking about??"

 After nap time we went to the Splash pad to play in the water!

 Brooklyn and Katherine had a great time running around and playing in the water.  Jamison was a little (a lot) scared.  Raegan might have went crazy also if the water was just a little warmer.   We also got to play on the playground.  It was one of the first HOT days of summer (90 degrees), so we didn't last too long!

Then it was back to the house for dinner. But first a little pre-dinner drive.

This guy loved this little ride!

We had a great day!!!!  Lots of fun, laughs, and love! 

Thanks so much Jason, Angela, and Katherine for a great day!  Love you!!

Silly kids

Cousin Katherine

We have been so lucky lately to get to spend some extra time with family!  One very important person especially--Cousin Katherine!!

Isn't she adorable!!  Our little niece!  So fun to see the kids together and how they interact!  Many more fun times together to come!!

Mother's Day

These three cute kids, and this wonderful handsome husband are MINE--ALL MINE! 

They also make me very proud to be a MOM!



My girls!

Today I enjoyed a pretty relazing mother's day!  We went to church and then to The Nerio's for lunch.  Always great getting to spend time with family!



Gorgeous baby with a bow in her hair!



What a cute family!  Jason-Angela-and Katherine

A great day outside consisting of bubbles-baseball-laughing-crying-whining-running-and of course...Jamison had his lawnmower out!

I don't really get caught up in the whole 'Mother's Day' event.  Not a big deal what goes on--if there are gifts (surprisingly)--if I have to cook or change dirty diapers--....  It was a great day though---I am just so glad that every single day of my life for the last four years has consisted of a smile and a laugh sometime throughout the day because of my kids!~  Love them to pieces!!!!! 

Can't forget to metion a special Happy mother's day shout out to Grandma Iowa, Grandma Mary, Great Grandma Bev, Great Grandma Kingsley, and Great Grandma Regina!

ALL BOY!

Jamison is ALL BOY!  Don't let the fact that he has two sisters even let you think for a second that he will give in and be a girly boy!  He has a couple of fav-O-rites these days....

This is his Puppy.  He carries it around E-V-E-R-Y-W-H-E-R-E right now!! 

 He loves his puppy!!

 He tucks it right under his arm pit and it is his BFF right now!

 His Froggy Hat!  What a goon!

 Watching out the window for the garbage truck to drive by...he get SO excited ot hear that thing!!

 And his LAWNMOWER...  If he doesn't have his puppy--he has his lawnmower!!

 He loves it so much he had to push it down the street during a walk--no need for grass--just needs to have his lawnmower!

 He can even fix his lawnmower...

And just to be outside!!  We can't get this kids inside!  So we had to move eating outside!

 Doesn't care who is with him, he just wants to be outside!



Oh Brother!!
