Sorry I have been a little M.I.A. lately.

I'm still getting the hang of this 3 kids thing.

And it seems like life has just been extra busy lately.

Anyways, here's a peek at my week!

Hope you guys had a great week too!

I think we have been the only state in the whole country that hasn't had crazy hot weather this past week.

But that didn't stop us from pretending it's summer.

This little boy has needed lots of extra cuddle time with his Mommy this week.

I was happy to oblige.

Wesley got to join Mackenzie at swim lessons this week.

He was the happiest boy ever.

And totally dangerous (i.e. fearless) in water.

I'm going to have my hands full this summer.

My handsome and brilliant husband graduated from the Apprentice Academy at our church.

A 2 year program of systematic theological, practical theology and spiritual formation.

I'm so proud of you babe!

A few times a week I've been loading all 3 kids up (big kids in the BOB and baby in the Ergo) to get out of the house and go on a walk down to the beach.

We are quite the site to be seen (people literally jump off the sidewalk when they see us coming) but I figured I should probably start actually doing something active before I start this in 2 weeks.

Plus walking with this as my view isn't so bad.

My latest addiction.

Sometimes I wonder if my house will ever be clean.

At least for more than 2 minutes at a time.

Some friends came to visit from New Zealand and brought us these.

The whole bag only lasted a couple hours.

It's probably a good thing they don't make these in the US or I'd have to do a lot more waling/running.

She's getting so big!

Some of her 0-3 month clothes don't even fit (and she's barely a month old!).

I made some head candy for Miss Madelyn.

There's nothing cuter than a baby in a headband.

dog pile on Daddy!

What I Wore

I'll be honest,

getting dressed each day has been really hard to do this week.

It probably has something to do with the fact that...

-half of the things in my closet don't fit

-the clothes that actually fit don't fit the way I'd like them to (if you know what I mean)

-I'm so tired when I get up in the morning all I want to do is stay in my PJs all.day.long.

Anyways, enough complaining.

Here are the outfits I actually did put on this week.

Enjoy!

Can you guess what I'm gearing up to be?

I just bought a pair of these

and this iPhone app.

Yup, you guessed it.

I'm going to give this whole running thing a try.

I'm going to need it!

P.S. Anyone used the couch to 5k app before? I'd love to hear your thoughts!

I wish every week had a holiday in it

don't you?

Here's a peek at my week from the view of my iPhone camera.

Enjoy!

I heart Trader Joes.

for lots of reasons

but mainly because they sell these babies

which just so happen to be the best make at home cinnamon rolls ever.

My favorite photographer took our family pictures last Friday!

I CANT wait to see how they turned out!

Mr. cool

We have been so blessed over the past couple of weeks with lots of yummy meals from lots of amazing friends.

Our new stroller in action with all 3 kiddos aboard.

Yes, it's as awesome as it looks.

The best big sister ever taking care of "her" baby.

I love my boys!

Someone make her stop growing!

p.l.e.a.s.e.

I heart walmart

If you like people watching you will love this video.

...Only at Walmart :)

What I Wore

So I really wanted to boycott "What I Wore" this week.

Let's just say that I am not loving this after baby body.

I can't wait to get back to my old self and back into my normal clothes again.

But in the mean time I am trying to make the best of what I have.

And in the meantime I'm also praying that my metabolism starts kicking back in really soon :)
