He's just so big

My baby is big. He is looking so grown these days. I think it is the big boy hair cut. Plus I am sure he has grown a bit since his last check up. I guess I would know if I would ever take him for his one year appointment. I think the fact that I spent $358 on co-pays and prescriptions during the first quarter of the year gave me some anxiety about setting up his appointment. But, it is done. He is going in a few weeks, when he is 14mts. I figure since he went twice while he was 11mts that he is fine.

Ella can put on her own flip flops. See. If only she could scrub her toe nails.

Happy Easter from the Crooms

We took both of these with the timer. I love doing that. We could not get Nate to look at the camera. But, I think the other two kids did great in both pictures. If you have known me for more than 10 years you probably remember this dress. I actually have not worn it in years. I just pulled it out of a box this week. If you have known Streed for his entire life you will remember his shorts. He has worn them every Easter since he was 18mts old. Yep. They are size 18mths. They started out half way down his shins. Poor baby has a tiny waist.

Good Morning Ella

Easter Party

Friday we had an Easter Party at our house for our buddies. We read a Jesus story and then thanked Jesus for dying for our sins. Then we colored and hunted for eggs, made and decorated cookies, and ate pizza. It was a great way for the kids to spend Good Friday.

practice

Streed had his first soccer practice and game last week. Chip is an assistant coach. It is actually micro-soccer...meaning it is for ages 3-4...meaning it is really cute! Ok, so the pictures are are not in the right order. practice is at the bottom. If you look closely Nate snuck in to hear what the coach had to say. Thankfully some of our friends from Hammond came to see Streed play which meant they also helped me with Nate and Ella. I don't know what I would have done. There are few picture of Streed playing because I was taking video. Oh yea, my title is in honor of Streed's size. Notice there are no knees visible.

PROPS to CHIP

Last night I was exhausted and went to bed at 9pm. Because Chip was going out of town yet again he said he would fold all the clothes. (He does typically help a lot with this anyway) When I got up this morning all of the clothes were neatly folded and the kitchen was clean. It was so nice!
