Stroller or no stroller......

We RARELY ever use a stroller anymore especially when we go to the Zoo, Aquarium or really any other fun place that we can run around!  Today was the first day that we did not use a stroller at all, we went to Walmart, Costco and the NEX. The kiddos did really well, they always WANT to hold our hand which is a great thing, it we let go for a second they put their hands up and ask to hold it!  Hopefully that lasts a bit longer. =)  It seems everyday that goes by they just keep getting bigger and bigger, of course I know they are supposed to but......we kinda want them to stay little! Here are a few photos from our stroller free Zoo day!

 Mama really another picture!? We just want to see the ANIMALS!

Pretty sure they look like BIG kids here!



Ummmmm.....................Ok...............Seriously!!!!

Lets face it there is no way whatsoever to hide the fact that I have not blogged in almost 3 MONTHS!!!! Sorry family and friends for not keeping you as updated as you deserve to be. I never imagined that the older the kiddos got the busier our everyday lives would be. Ben, Blake and Brooke are 3 of the most adventurous, crazy, funny, loving, busy and amazingly smart children I know! It takes every moment that we are awake to enrich their lives with activities that keep them busy so that everyone is happy including this mama. Sometimes I feel like there are not enough hours in the day to accomplish everything..............but with that said Carl and myself love how busy our life is because we know we are blessed! However 3 months of not blogging is a bit insane wouldn't you say??? I am trying to figure out where to start, be ready for lots of pictures and little blurbs to catch you up to the present!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

The kiddos made it till 11:45pm! Little troopers they were running around like it was 2 in the afternoon!  We paid for it the next day with super cranky kiddos but hanging out with them was well worth it!

We did a Christmas video this year instead of 100's of pictures and I will post it tomorrow!  I know its not a ton but it gets us caught up to the present at least and I promise to stay on top of it from now on!! Thanks for reading about our everyday lives!
