Zoo time!

We had so much fun with Izzy over spring break!  Last Monday we hit up the Akron zoo.  It was nice to finally get outside and get some fresh air :)

All the babes love the carousel!

Snow leopards!

Grizzly bears!

Otters!

Sunshine with my munchkins.

Cheeseball!!!

Sweet, sweet cousins!

CREW IS 5!!!!

My big boy turned five on the 27th!  I can't quite comprehend time or how it has passed so quickly!  I mean, he was two yesterday, right?!

I can't put into words how Crew has changed my life or what he means to me.  He's my first baby, the first kick I felt in my yummy, the first baby I held and nursed.  He's made me a better person (sometimes crazier person!).

I love his little smile and the way his eyes squint shut and his nose wrinkles up when he smiles at me.  He is so smart and compassionate.  Crew is always loving on someone.  Whether it's me or daddy, Capri, Isla, or his doggies.  He loves books and especially likes when mommy reads to him :) Crewsie is truly my best buddy and I love our bond. I'm so proud of him and proud to be his mommy.  Happy 5th birthday baby boy!

He's REALLY ino dinosaurs right now so I got him a Dino rain coat!

And he's into Legos!  So we've been doing a lot of Lego building!

Dance party in the basement...I love how Izzy is a streak in the background!

I decided to make Crewsies bday cake this year!

Field trip!

Crew had a field trip to a local gymnastics place on his birthday. He loved it and had so much fun with his little school buddies!

The place was awesome and huge!  I think his favorite were the trampolines.

Lately...

I like staying busy with the kids, but I also love our lazy days together. March seemed like a very lazy month as we sat inside and waited for winter to end!  

I love taking Crewsie on little Mommy-Son dates!  Last Saturday we saw Mr. Peabody and Sherman!  So cute!

We eat Mexican at least a few times a month.  Sissy got a little crazy this night...one too many margaritas?!?! 

Can you say bed head?!?!

We color or do some type of artsy project everyday. I love that Crew likes to do this type of stuff!

Mommy-Daughter breakfast date while brother was in school.  I like spending time with the kids one-on-one when I get the opportunity. :)

And we started some little house projects.  Some new paint and new windows. 

Goodbye red!  Crewsie is such a good helper!

Build-a-bear with my little bear...

One of Crew's friends got him a build-a-bear gift card for his bday, so mommy and crewsie had a little date night and headed for the mall!  He picked out a little pug and named him Theo :)

I think if Crew could pick any toy he would always choose a stuffed animal!

Theo got a very looooong bath!  Haha!  Crew loved bathing and brushing him :)

Taking Theo home for his first night in his new home!
