...

Zane had a playdate and all 3 kids had so much fun playing with him.  

I like this one - I don't know what they were looking for

 These two cuties have been playing so much better together.

 Zane is playing flag football.  This game was freezing.  The wind was blowing like crazy, but it's so fun to watch.

 Zane has really been so good at football so far! He absolutely loves it and really understands the ins and outs of it.

 Zack is one of the coaches...he was giving him some tips.

 Emmy and Smith bundled up

 Celebrating a teammate's touchdown

 This guy got so many flags!  And then, the next week in his second game, he even scored a touchdown.

 Zane got to be part of his school's "Running Club" in April.  Zack met him after school once a week and they ran for 45 minutes.  He collected a charm for each mile he ran.  They both loved the time together.  Then, after all those training days, they ran a 5K together.  They ran it in 35 minutes, and Zane only had to walk once.  I was so so proud of Zane for accomplishing a race.

These three and I waited for them at the finish line.  They were being silly.  It was 8 am and already so warm, even though it looks like they're cold.

 It was so sweet how Smith put his hand on Zane's shoulder - he was proud of his big brother.

 We got to eat donuts and fruit afterwards!

 Then,  play at the park of course. Smith was pushing Molly.

 Silly man

 Here are a couple of pictures of our insanely messy, but fun basement.  Zane and Emmy were playing school.  Zane got dressed up to play the teacher.

 Emmy and her fellow students...

 Just a cute picture of 3 cuties watching the iPad together.

 The kids love to swim.  I have them in lessons right now, 2 days a week.  And I have been swimming with Smith and then longer with the other two once a week.  My mom joined us for a couple weeks.

 It was impossible to get them all to pose in their towels.

 Another park...they were "napping"

 Climbing trees!

 And another park.  We had a cookout with our small group at our friends' house.  They live next door to a park.  Awesome!  They got to eat dinner outside. :)

 For Zack's birthday, we went out to eat at Buffalo Wild Wings.  He and Zane played some trivia together. :)

 Then, we walked over to Cold Stone for dessert. I am so lucky to be married to such a great guy.  He is an amazing dad and I love him so so much. :) Happy 36th, Zack!!

Fort!!

 Playing at the school playground when we picked up Zane

 After the park this day, we drove over to run a quick errand and then I decided to take the kids to Panera to have half a bagel for a snack.  They were being so wild and loud...probably a bad idea. This was one of those times when I was so so relieved to have them all buckled back into the car afterward.  ;)
