Birthday, Kids, & Crafts

I turned 25 this month. A quarter of a century. The kids and I spent a lot of the day at the park. When Jack came home, we went out to dinner and went to a shooting range. I've never shot a gun before, but it was fun. Pictures don't lie...I look pretty hardcore! It's a good thing this picture is from the back, because I'm pretty sure my eyes were closed. Ha!

Jack gave me this awesome Bible for my birthday! It's so pretty, but I know it doesn't stand a chance in my purse, so I made a little cover for it!

Lois turned 5 months old this month. She is starting to sit up on her own. I think she's ready to start solids. She stares at our food, and when I gave her a noodle, she knew just what to do with it! The past week she has been feeling a little under the weather. I think it's just that time of year. She has an ear infection and cold right now. I think she might be the happiest sick baby I've ever seen though.

Yes, I will stay home and take care of you all day!

Lois has eyes for two boys in her life right now...Jack and Silas. She literally does not take her eyes off them if they are in the room. I guess except if there's a camera in the room.

 I think she has got to be teething too! I find her like this all the time!

Silas is almost 2! Since we came back from Florida, I feel like he's just grown up. He's been going to bed without a peep, and wanting to help around the house. He's been listening really well, and so I'm really hoping this is a phase that lasts! He is so great with Lois. He brings her toys to play with, and will  get in her face and try to make her laugh, which of course she just eats that up!

CHEEEESSEEE!!!!

To say that Silas loves letters would be a gross understatement! He LOVES letters! He goes to bed with letters on his mind. When he wakes up, the first thing he does is look for his letter "M".  I feel a birthday theme coming on!

Well, that's all the updates for now!
