Branson Part II Picture Palooza

(Back-blogging)

Here are more pics of the Branson trip. What can I say? I LOVE pictures! As many as there are, it was still a stretch for me to limit it this much! If this is going to chronicle my life, then I may as well go out! You never know what tomorrow holds!

Jeff pulling double duty as he feeds Micah while holding Noah. 

Noah, always so serious analyzing things! I absolutely love my little guy's dimples!

There's my Micah man. I love his chub!

We spent some time at the indoor pool. It was easy to just let the boys chill in their car seats while the girls had a blast. I am not so sure that this coming March will be quite so easy!! Two 18 month old boys and a pool. I think Jeff and I will be much busier this swimming season! :o)

Em's jumping in the pool.

Jens getting some air time with daddy. 

The boys lounging by the pool getting their tan on!

A picture of the whole gang.

We treated the girls to a trip to The Butterfly Palace. Super cool and fun! As you can see, there is a room filled with butterflies and birds. The girls LOVED IT! They give the little adventurers magnifying glasses and hats. It was so fun to watch the girls interact with nature!

Ems trying on the frog head. Jens was a bit more weary.

Jeff pushing our super nice double stroller through the Palace. 

I have to document our life with multiples!

There were butterflies EVERYWHERE!! We had to watch where we were stepping. 

The girls observing the butterflies.

Emma wasn't even trying to be funny! 

She was just walking and studying the place with the magnifying glass up to her face! :o)

Jeff had a little visitor on his shoulder.

Me and my little scavenger.

My four loves!

My little mushroom.

Jens warmed up to the small frog.

These last pics are just random pics around the condo.

The most kissable cheeks EVER!!

Oh  my dimples!

My four super heroes.

Boys' First Trip to the Big Branson: Part I

(Back-blogging)

So we decided to GET OUT OF TOWN. We figured that our family deserved and needed a little getaway, so we decided to head to old faithful Branson and stay in Mimi and Papa's condo. We were not sure what to expect as this was the first time we had ever traveled with FOUR kids two of which were 5 months old!

I have to say, Jeff and I were pretty proud of ourselves! We managed to take all four kids out to eat...not just once...but twice. AND, we didn't just go to a fast food restaurant...we went to Red Lobster! Seriously though, it went smoothly and we literally patted ourselves on the back! Hey, you gotta find humor in everything these days! :o) Here are some pics of our trip.

This was the best pic I got of Jens. She is not the poser as you can see Ems is! :o)

I know that's a ton of pics of Ems, but I just couldn't pass up the opportunity to post pics of my little model wanna be. This girl challenges me to no end, but I am so proud of her and adore (sometimes) her crazy spirit!
