We officially have a walker as of Thanksgiving!

As I mentioned in the last post, here are our new floors! 

What the kitchen looked like when we moved in..
My niece Sydney's band/color guard team made it to the Grand Nationals in Indianapolis! Since she lives in Texas and this was so close, I didn't want to miss it! My parents, Scott, and I drove to the Colts stadium to see her! Karen and Graydon met us there since they live so close.
I think Sydney is by the blue ball by the 40 yard line...


Her team made it to the finals, they didn't place, but they were invited to the Rose Bowl in 2023! Sydney was one of the few middle schoolers on the team full of high schoolers. Way to go Sydney, super proud of you!
Before... (after pics towards the end)

My co-worker, Sienna, has a little side business of photography, I asked her to take pictures for our Christmas cards. We went to Grant Park and they turned out great!


This kid loves books and shoes..
Learning how to get the coins in the piggy bank.
One of his favorite toys..



After..
I think we just need some new trim and doors and it'll look so good!









Branko's been taking multiple steps, watch Jodi's face as she sees him walk for the first time!



After Sydney's competition in Indiana, the Austin Benetti's drove to Wisconsin for Jeff and Scotts birthday. Scott turned 40 this year! We had a celebration for him at Public Brewing Co. in Kenosha.




I forgot I had all of these milestone cards.. of course I find them with the hardest milestone to take a picture of!
Last swimming lesson of the season!







Thanksgiving outfits!
More bibs, more fun!

Thanksgiving was the day Branko officially preferred to walk over crawling! Life hasn't been the same since!
We'll end this post with Branko and Bennett playing.

A little bit of life in Feb/March

  Someone got into the red paint post bath.. Fun trip to the library This wall had them entertained for a while Conrads a bit more of a nurturer than his brother Get in m belly! Farm fresh eggs from Taylor! Branko has been a huge super hero lover these days. He has 6 stretchy small super heros that I actually got for Conrad for valentines day. The material its made out of gets full of lint and hair, so Branko gives them "baths". Playing with the outdoor lights. There was a crazy storm one night and Branko set up Hulk/Ironman in the window to watch the storm with him. I thought I had a picture of it, I guess not! Pics from school :) Our photo frame is always a big hit with the boys Panera (or First Watch) with Grandma Conrad is so proud of himself getting the coins in the piggy bank A normal night in super hero capes and Conrad climbing on the end table/couch My oldest is getting too big to carry :( Enjoying a rare solo bath Culvers, yummmm Enjoying the spring air!

Disney World and baby #3!!

Both boys fell asleep as soon as we landed.... in Orlando. We waited for everyone to get off the plane before waking up these sleeping beauties. We started the trip out rough, I was super sick with no energy the day before we left and Patrick had the same symptoms the day we left. I think we may have had Covid after hearing what other people's symptoms were after we got back. I didn't want to bring their car seats, so we booked a bus to take us from the airport to our hotel. NEVER AGAIN! (at least while the boys are this young). We waited in the airport for the bus for an hour and a half. Recipe for disaster after waking up early, driving to Midway airport, being on a plane, waiting in line for the bus, and then sit on the bus to get to the resort. It was a lot and not a great way to start the trip. We'll get a car rental next time. Yes, we thought about an uber, but they only have options for 1 carseat. We stayed at the Contemporary Resort to be on the monorail and close t...

 On Wednesdays, Branko has daycare, leaving me with the two younger boys. To be honest, having all three of them is easier than juggling the younger two by myself. Conrad is at a tough age right now where he wants all of my attention and gets aggressive/jealous when I need to feed or hold Michael. On this particular day, we needed to get out of the house, so Conrad led us through Target. He ran away twice, which was fun chasing him with the doona stroller. Thankfully, it wasn't busy! I hate the running away phase! We also went to my favorite coffee shop. Meanwhile, Branko learned about trains at school and was excited to go to his mama's house as his destination. Michael has started to be more alert these days. I just LOVE his eyes Superhero brothers! Our neighbors who live behind us babysit for us sometimes and this particular day Carsen was on spring break and lent a hand on a Friday where it was me and all three while Patrick was working. She played with the older boys and h...
