Tulip Fields

We found out that the tulip festival was being extended and we hadn't been there in three years so we knew this was a sign that we needed to go again. ( I mean, Edwin had NEVER been so it was time!) We made it there within an hour of closing but it turned out great since there were fewer people there and the light was supposedly better. Ha! Also, they didn't kick us out at closing time so that was a win!

And my kids were in love with any tractor-like object they found, so they had a blast!

Kids taking pictures.

He would want me to take a photo in of him in front of the flowers then look like this...

Glowing Tulips!

The following sequence are my kids dancing like wild banshees in front of the flowers, I don't know what promoted this. Miles has some intense faces.

Then this guy that looked really professional asked if we wanted him to take our picture. We let him and our kids even looked at the camera, and he had some great lines....but alas, they turned out blurry...yet I'm still putting them on the blog.

After a bunch of photos we would let them have tractor time

 Hahaha...sad little Edwin...mad that it wasn't his turn anymore. Notice the tear!

 I think this picture is funny because you can see Max's shadow while he is trying to make the kids smile.

And here is the "jumping off the bench, until Miles tripped and fell on his face"  series of photos.

A little cooperation please....

hahaha...this one is my favorite, all of their eyes are closed.

Then the boys wanted to take some photos...so this is ALL them.

Does that not look like a backdrop?  It's all real, I promise!

Charlie instructed us on when to spin and kiss. He's turning into quite the bossy little photographer.

Tulip fire!

And they were just cute walking back to the car.

 Anyway, I'm sure my photo commentary was annoying but this was quite the fun evening among the tulips. It was the perfect way to start off the warm part of spring!!

Soccer

There was a spring Soccer season, and many of the games were super rainy! I finally made it to one of the games, luckily it was the first sunny game. So, soccer is interesting because half of the player on Charlie's team have played for years and are pretty good at following the rules. Ad some kids just started this year (ahem...Charlie) He loves soccer and running after the ball (until he gets tired) but still struggles to figure out the rules. We have goals of practicing more at home and we're happy he is really enjoying himself! And I took a couple pictures from the game I went to. But mostly they are from the warm up. 

Anyway, Miles had no interest in soccer again so he didn't do it this spring. Charlie looks forward to doing more soccer in the fall.

Greased Lightening

Just a random day when I accidentally dressed my kid in skinny jeans and a dirty white onesie, so now there are photos to document this 2-year-old greaser.

He was saying "shake yo booty" in these photos, something his brothers taught him. 

He's a fun kid! That's all!
