Playdate with the triplets

We had another playdate with the Hartman triplet girls (Aliya, Briella, & Ciara) last weekend and the boys had a great time! At first they just sat on my lap, until they got comfortable and started playing with the toys and with the girls. They all did very well and there were NO fights! Which was amazing, since my boys fight with each other ALL the time! Before we left, the all gave each other hugs!! It was so cute! Here are some pictures that we took that day (the only way we got all 5 to sit on the couch together, was by giving them fruit snacks!)

Northern WI State Fair

We brought the kids to the Northern Wisconsin State Fair on Friday and they had so much fun! Jayden and Natalie went on tons of rides and even tried getting on some that they weren't tall enough for! Maybe next year! The boys enjoyed just watching Jayden go on the rides and also had fun petting/feeding the animals. Maybe next year they will be brave enough to go on some rides. :) Our neighbors also brought their kids (Chloe & Ian) along and they went on the rides with Jayden & Natalie. It was really nice of them to go on the little kiddie rides with JJ & Nats, since they are 6 & 9 years old and could have went on the bigger kid rides instead. :) My parents brought the boys back to their house to nap around 2pm, so we stayed with Jayden and Natalie, and didn't leave until after 4pm (and we got there at 11am)!! The girls were so tired! Here are some pictures from the fair.

Mohawks

We decided to cut the boys' hair into mohawks! We thought it would be a nice summer haircut, since they both have such thick, long hair. We think they look so cute!! :)

"Big Boy" beds

Last week we moved the boys into big beds. The first night was a little rough - they screamed and cried and didn't want us to leave them. We stayed in there for a few minutes to try and calm them down, but anytime we tried to leave - they cried. So, we decided to just leave, shut their door and let them cry it out. They cried for about 15 minutes and then fell asleep. :) I went in their room to see if they were sleeping on the floor or on their beds and Landon was asleep in his bed and Peyton was sleeping at the bottom of Landon's bed! I took a picture, because it was so cute! I am also posting some pictures of their room. The 2nd night, they only cried for about 5-10 minutes, the 3rd night was only 1-2 minutes and by the 4th night - they didn't fuss at all! :)

Boys' 2nd Birthday!!

We celebrated the boys' 2nd birthday this past Sunday and had a party with family and friends. It ended up being the same weekend as the Eau Claire Air Show, which is only a few miles down the road from our house, so we got to see (and hear) many of the airplanes too! The boys didn't really like them much and were scared of how loud they were - but the adults sure liked it! The boys had tons of fun and got SO many great gifts - including a water table, roller coaster, sleeping bags, lawn mower, tricycle, and their own little lawn chairs! It ended up being a nice day out, so the kids played outside and Landon hasn't stopped pushing his new lawn mower since then! haha!

Here are some pictures from the party.






Landon wasn't too happy here - I think it was little too much for him!

Jayden's dance pictures

Jayden had her dance pictures taken a few days ago and I took a few with my camera too. I curled her hair and put some make-up on - she looked so grown up! I also took a few of her and her friend, Ava. They have their dance recital in a few weeks and will be dancing to "Schoolhouse Rock". Enjoy!
