Sip and see-Oh the places you will go! Also, Easter, Masters, and April randoms

 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 held baby Michael when I had to tend to the older two.

Later on that day, the weather cleared up and we were able to play outside.


I've got to remember how small Michael is! As when you're holding him, he seems so big and heavy


My sisters threw us a sip and see for baby Michael. Since he shares a birthday with Dr. Seuss, it was the perfect theme for the party.














It was a bit chilly and the boys wanted to play outside. A superhero costume will keep Branko warm!


My sister Karen made shirts and hats for us and it sure worked out well to keep Conrad warm outside!




The Grinch also stopped by! (this was soo funny!) Conrad was terrified!

Thanks for dressing the part Scott, Jen, and Maddy!







Branko looks like such a big boy to me in this picture


All THREE of my boys occupied by other people :)


Mary and Karen got Michael such a cute basket that included this hat! It leaves marks on his head now, but he gets soo many compliments on it.



We borrowed the snoo from a friend which is a bassinet that responds to the babies movements and gets them to settle down without your assistance, its been such a blessing!


Hulkie needed a donut too, we can't forget about Hulkie.


I got all three boys matching safari jammies, I have yet to get a picture (nor do I think I ever will as Branko doesn't like to wear PJs again and only wears shorts and a t-shirt-maybe)


ONE month old!
Michael goes to bed between 10 and 11 and is up twice a night. He has pretty bad baby acne on his face-which should clear up by two months (which it has). Michael, overall, has been an easy going baby-but we'll see if it lasts! He enjoys being held (all the time). The baby carrier has become my best friend (as I have him in the carrier as I'm typing this)

Michael weights 10lb 12 oz (71st percentile) and is 1'10" (69th percentile)


We survived the first month!


We got to visit Grandma Helen!



Cheeks for days!



Jodi got the boys these matching PJs, still have yet to get Branko to wear them! However, once they fit Conrad they will be like new and he can't complain that he never gets new clothes (lol!)


Another Wednesday, we met up with one of my old co-workers whose son is a few months younger than Conrad.







Someone drew on his own face..


My friend Kelli came over with her two kids while our husbands golfed together, here's our attempt at getting a picture of me and my three boys.


Conrad's going in for a Michael kiss.


The following day, we looked up where we could go Easter egg hunting that you didn't need to pre-register for and the boys got (a few) eggs. They divided it into age groups, luckily, and the weather was perfect!

They were also handing out free donuts. It was a nice event!




Can't have a picture with a mascot without the back of Conrads head (remember all the disney photos?)




Hard to keep clothes on (both) boys these days



I can't get over the double chin!!


Pats mom got the boys matching masters t-shirts with their names. We finally got all three to get dressed in what we actually wanted to wear, what a win! Of course they wanted to wear their white shirts to school-so now they're stained) (they would've gotten stained at home too-not hate on the school)



These next two pictures are a comparison of Michael and Branko. I feel like they're looking more and more alike.




Branko has to practice tracing his name and his teachers at school just complimented his improvement with tracing! All our hardwork at home is paying off!





Pictures from school and they turned out so good! Pat has been doing the drop off at school since we've had Michael and they asked if he wanted to stay to help get the boys to smile for photos, he said he had to leave, and thank god he did! I truly don't think they would've posed like this if we were there.










I love this picture, even with the shadow.


The daycare had an Easter event. It landed on a Wednesday, so Conrad was home, and we knew Branko wouldn't want to go back to school the same day, so Conrad and I had a little date night-just the two of us- and it was so much fun!


Branko said he wanted to go to the beach for probably about an hour one day, he grabbed his swim trunks and was ready to go. Here's his face when I broke the news that we weren't going to the beach.


The weekend of Easter, we dyed and colored eggs, painted eggs, and did an easter egg hunt. Since having kids, I think Easter has become one of my favorite holidays. I just love this time of year!


Michael enjoyed watching the chaos and mess of all the Easter activities.


Conrad and Branko took separate baths this particular day and Conrad climbed back in after Branko's bath..


Someone's ready to go hunt some eggs! The big prizes were superhero stretchy toys! Conrad really enjoyed eating all of the chocolate found in the eggs.


Pat ordered grocery pick up and saw that the prime rib was on sale. He picked it up and they have us an 8lb prime rib worth $81, soo we invited Scott/Jen up for dinner to help us eat it.

The next day was Easter, where we went to Pats mom's for brunch.


Branko insisted I wear the Easter basket like this. You can find me wearing some sort of mask or hat these days when I'm holding Michael. Hopefully, Michael will recognize my face and not just a superhero mask!


On Mondays and Fridays its me with the 3 boys. This was a tough day for all of us and we just needed to get out of the house. Grabbed starbucks, went through the car wash, and drove around for a while for us all to cool down.


Gosh, hes just so dang cute!



Proof of the very limited tummy time this guy gets (on the floor). Someone gifted us this tri fold toy for tummy time and I still don't know who its from!


Hulk monster!



Conrad loves ketchup and syrup.


He sees m with this boon a lot..




We've been trying to do individual date nights with the boys lately (I hope we can keep this up). This particular day was gorgeous and before I knew the weather was supposed to be perfect, I asked Branko if he wanted to go to the library to pick out some books. I couldn't change his mind when I picked him up from school, so we went to the library and walked to grab some ice cream and ate it in the square.



Conrad has been a big fan of only wearing mickey mouse shirts these days


Branko's been struggling with daycare drop off these last few weeks, we told him if he had a good week at school, he'd get to go swimming! Ironically enough, the highschool had a free open swim for the community this particular Friday. Cheap reward for us!




Patricks favorite soccer team won a big game, moving onto the championship in a few weeks! His uncle and two cousins came  up to enjoy the game together.
