Branko & Conrad's Christening! (and family birthday celebrations)

 At last! The boys are baptized! It was important for me to see them get baptized in the church I grew up going to/went to grade and middle school at. In fact, Deacon Ron, lived down the road from us and his daughters used to babysit my older siblings! The boys did a GREAT job being baptized, no tears or complaints! We went to lunch at Oak Fire Pizza and rented out half the restaurant to ourselves. The pictures seem to be all over the place...



This picture was afterwards and we had lots of fun playing with the balloons!


Just lounging!

Enjoying some of his new books!

I got custom sweatshirts made for the godmothers!




Mary helped me out with decor/cake. It made the day so less stressful for me and I could just be present with everyone who came to celebrate all of the celebrations.
Brocktoberfest was the day before, so we had extra family in town like Aunt Maria, Uncle Jeff, and Auntie Karen! As well as cousins, Bella, Curtis, and Rose!





For the Godfathers, we got them custom beer classes. Not shown is the boys' names on the glass

















Beronja side!











Benetti side!





Eddie even got to get baptized too!

I loved getting everyone's different angles of pictures during the baptism! 




















































Conrad took this like a champ!










"Hey guys, I'm baptized!"



























BFFs














My friend Dana go the boys mathing "Noahs Arc" piggy banks







Thank you to everyone that came to watch the boys get baptized and celebrate their birthdays a little early! The day was perfect!

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...
