April

I am so behind on blogging right now!  Here is April in a nutshell...
Enjoyed time with friends...



Enjoyed the beautiful weather at the park with a picnic lunch...

 Ollie got his new bike with training wheels...

Ollie got his award for Cubbies.  He did a great job memorizing his verses this year...


We got to go visit my Grandma Wuthrich in Morton...








We also got to go up to Des Moines for the day to meet up with some of Andrew's family and spend time with them.  We even got to see Abby who we hadn't seen in a long time...





There is a recap besides Easter!  Such a fun month!

Oliver & Emmerson

So it has been a while since I have recorded what my little blessings have been up to...
Oliver is three months away from being 4!  He is still my sweet little boy that tells me he loves me out of nowhere probably at least 3 times a day.  He also tells Emmerson that she is a princess quite often.  It melts my heart.  He has been saying some pretty funny stuff lately and I am so sad that I haven't been writing it all down.  The other day he gave Emmerson an under dog (push) on the swing and called it an "under bear", it was adorable.  He has been saying "actually" a lot too.  His favorites right now are, playing cars (only with the Cars cars), doing puzzles, coloring, and watching movies.  He is amazing at memorizing movie lines too.  His new favorite movie is Frozen and he wants it for his birthday :)  He is doing really well on his reading lessons and can write all his letters and numbers.  Most days he really enjoys doing it which makes it wonderful!  He is my sensitive, emotional, loving, shy, rule follower that I don't know what I would do with out.  I love hanging out with him...





For the most part Ollie and Emmie get along.  If there is a problem it is usually Emmerson wanting what Ollie has and it's Ollie who ends up crying because Emmie pushed him.  We are working on that :)  I love watching as they are playing together more and more and becoming good friends...

It was actually nice enough to play disc golf! (Andrew got an ace!)

We love having a park so close!

Throwing rocks.

I have no idea what she was doing...

Our last big snow!
Miss Emmerson (aka Missy or Baby), our fun loving, funny, ornery, spunky, daring, sweet girl.  I can't believe she will be 2 in less than 2 months!  She has started talking so much in the past couple of months.  Some cute things she has been saying: "note" for no, "morn" for more, "I pick..." when she wants to choose,   She goes pee in the potty once in a while and still loves her pac (paci) and B's (blankets).  She has also started singing parts of songs.  She loves to sing, Jesus Loves Me, Twinkle Twinkle, and any song from Frozen. Her favorite new thing is reading books, even to herself or her dollies. She really enjoys her kitchen, movies, or whatever Ollie is playing.  We are working on learning her colors.  I am a little nervous because she already has an opinion on what shoes she wears some days.  Yikes!  You bring such joy to our lives Emmie, we love you!

Hearts At Home

In March, some girl friends and I, took a weekend trip to a conference in Illinois called Hearts At Home.  We shopped a lot, ate a lot, and laughed a lot.... but most of all learned how to be a better mom and a better follower of Christ....




 
Such a wonderful weekend and such a blessing to have such amazing friends in my life :)

Chicago

 This past weekend we drove up to Chicago to celebrate Kathryn's birthday.  We got to Kevin and Melissa's on Saturday and got to hang out for a couple hours before the party.  Both of the kids loved Monkey Joe's.  Emmerson was too scared to do anything by herself but overall they had a blast...



the birthday gir!


After the birthday party we went out to eat at Portillo's, one of my favorite places to eat up there....


We had a relaxing evening back at Kevin and Melissa's with Dad and Mom Wiese.  Sunday after church we got to eat a delicious Chineese lunch. Then we headed home for a Wiegand cousin reunion which was a blast.  We had such a fun weekend spending time with wonderful family :)
