New phone - new pics from Feb and March

So Brian and I got a couple of new phones (broken screens, bad batteries, etc) and I just now figured out how to get the pictures transferred over so I can post them on the blog.
I know you all have been so sad that I haven't put any pictures up lately - 

well, I finally figured it out, so here you go!!!

The weather has been getting a little Spring-y lately, so Eli has been enjoying using the neighbors trampoline.  You should see him run on there - it's hilarious!

We have been LOVING our neighborhood walks lately with Moose

Eli definitely does not have enough balls to play with in the basement!

Caught up with our friends, the Coomers' the other day for dinner.

Grammie and Granddad took the kids for free IHOP pancake day after school one day

They love those pancakes!!

Got this sweet picture sent from daycare one day.

I can almost hear him laughing...

Another walk around our neighborhood - checking out the new waterfall progress at the entrance of the neighborhood

The kids and I went to see Moana one day a couple weeks ago.

We loved it - so glad it's on Redbox now so Brian can see it, too!!

Eating some popcorn and watching a funny movie one night

Moose is just ready and waiting for a dropped piece of popcorn!

Another family came to see us one weekend.  The Hopkins' came to stay over night and they brought their 2 kids and a dog.  We had a full house and had so much fun!

Colin and Micah played in the snow for quite some time!

Homemade snow cones!

Micah tried to climb up the slide for a LONG time - Colin tried so hard to help him up there.

After about 20 minutes, it finally happened. TEAMWORK!!

Bumming around, watching a show before they had to leave

The girls played so well together

Selfies with Eli!

Hugging on cousin Caroline at church one weekend.

A family selfie on another walk

Shooting some hoops on St. Patty's day

We went out to dinner to celebrate the kids good report cards.

I love this picture of big boy Eli walking with Daddy.

Caitlin and Chris had their baby (on St. Patty's day), the same day as Daniel was born.

He is such a cutie - we got to meet Bennett last week.

So many Teson boys!!!

Went shopping last weekend for some spring clothes - the kids are growing like weeds!!!

Brian went on a mens' church retreat last weekend - so I had all the kids flying solo.

We were super glad when Brian came home on Sunday night.  We missed him so much!

Eli came down with a fever while Brian was at the retreat - which meant he wanted to be held the ENTIRE WEEKEND.  This made things a little more difficult, but it's amazing what you can do with one hand :)

I stayed home with him the next day, and he felt much better!

We're getting a lot of use out of our bounce house this year!

February - life lately

I started this post a while ago, and just now am getting to writing about it.

Great-Grandma Rita had her 90th birthday and the Teson side threw a little get together for all of our family and friends at her new residence.  It was a lot of fun!

maggie and Eli with GGRita (Colin was at a birthday party)

I had to work a Saturday clinic - so I got to take off work the Friday before.

I got SOOO much accomplished that day, and I had time to stop by the school to eat lunch with the kids.  That was a nice little treat!

Maggie hi-jacked my phone and took some selfies after bath time one night

Crazy girl!

And...
the best surprise of all!! Both Colin and Maggie were chosen as students of the month for March for the Christ skill of cooperation.  This is a pretty big deal at St. Therese.
They were so excited and it was a nice treat for Brian and I to attend their school assembly when they got their award.  They wanted to get a pretzel and cheese as a reward.  Easy peasy!
