MEA Break

We had a wonderful MEA break last week.  The weather was gorgeous, so that definitely helped!

Sally, remembering from the summer of the extra snuggles with her brother...asking if she can put him down for his morning nap

The girls pretty much lived outside all day Wednesday is their Palace that they made

I love the progression of these pictures, Mason and Emma's interaction as well as Libby's dance moves in the background!

Getting ready for a morning walk

Gang's all here.  It was one of the most peaveful mornings where everyone was included, everyone got a long and it allowed the Mamas to have some real conversations!

Even the babies played so well and so long

Neighbor friends fun afternoon at the park

We were excited that Daddy was able to take Friday off during his busiest time of the year, to enjoy a 3-day weekend

Emma was excited to test out her big girl bike, thanks to Daddy for getting it down from storage and putting the training wheels back on...we were going to use it as a strider, but Miss Emma isn't quite tall enough

Pure Joy!

It was a windy morning, perfect weather to fly a kite

Mason spots the kite!

Libby's turn

Mommy's turn [VIDEO]

One of these is not like the other...3rd one has spunk!  Lunch outside!

Taking advantage of the beautiful afternoon we headed to the Lowry Nature Center to explore one of their trails, it didn't disappoint!

We checked out some of their animals before we headed to dinner

This just might be the 1st time we've gone out to eat as a family of 6, other than Easter Brunch???  Mason's early bedtime of 6pm, makes that difficult to do.  Friday, the stars aligned and we decided to bring the troops to Tommy's Malt shop.  It was a lot of fun and a successful meal!  Mommy's USBORNE purchase from a while back was a success...

Craigmile Crew Party of 6!  The owner was excited to see a successful meal as he told us his wife is newly pregnant with their #4 :)

Excited to try some burgers

Saturday was a rainy day so I took the Bigs to see My Little Pony the movie, it was cute, I loved the music!

and then we hit up 5pm Mass on Saturday, as we had family pictures Sunday morning!  Will be excited to show you a few of those soon, we LOVED our photographer, thanks for the referral, Alisha!  If you're looking for someone local and awesome, look up Stephi Jean Photography on Facebook!
