Happy 80th Birthday Great Grandma Maiwald

Happy 80th Birthday Great Grandma Maiwald.  Sorry we couldn't join you in Sioux Falls to help celebrate your birthday, we have had a very busy weekend.  We hope you have a wonderful birthday and a great lunch out with the family!!






Love,
Julianne, Katelyn, and Will

PS.  Mom and Dad say Happy Birthday too!!

March 14th

Katelyn inspecting the dice that Brian bought her.

I was trying to get a picture of the two girls smiling and looking at me.  But I was not having a lot of luck, as evident by these pictures.

They were cute and matching this day.  Julianne had had dance competition the day before and her hair was still in the bun, so Katelyn wanted her hair in a bun also.  Katelyn's hair is fine and definitely more challenging to put a bun in and get it to stay.

Julianne's bath time creativity.  She is learning to spell and write words/sentences at school.  So, she used the foam letters to create words on the bathtub wall.  She explained to Brian and myself (in great detail) how to make sense of all the letters.  Basically she had letters on the lines or in the middle if it needed to be shared.  It was quite an ingenius way to do it.  She makes me so very, very proud everyday.  It is times like these that I remember when she is misbehaving.

Will in the exersaucer.  He really enjoys it! 

Will has figured out the exersaucer and loves to play in it.  This video shows one of his favorite things to do!

March 12th - Gymnastics videos

So cute to watch these little kids run and jump!

March 11th - Rock Stars

Julianne and Katelyn dressed up as rock stars!  They have awesome imaginations.  Every day they seem to come up with something new.

The rockstars with Will.

March 8th - Will's first time in the exersaucer

My smiley boy!  He smiles quite often.  It even seems that when he is crying or fussing it doesn't take much to make him smile.  He loves his sisters and they seem to be able to get him to stop real quick.

This is a picture of the first time Will was put in the exersaucer.  He loved then, and still does now, love the red whale.

Trying to chew on the exersaucer.

Katelyn and her smile.

Almost everytime we take pictures Katelyn wants to do a funny picture.  Here she is doing her "funny face".  These will be so much fun to show her when she gets older!  I am sure they will show up and embarass her.

Here is a little video of Will having fun in the exersaucer.  He just wanted to get the whale so bad!

March 7th

I love the expressions on both their faces!

My 3 kids! I love to take pictures of them together, but I have given into the fact that I don't get a lot of pictures where all 3 are smiling and looking at the camera.  Oh well, sometimes the candid moments are the most memorable! 

Will is a bit surprised in this picture.  I think the flash gets him almost everytime!

Will loves bathtime.  He will play in the bath and kick for 20 minutes!  We sometimes have to empty the water and put new water in because the water gets cold.  When he splashes himself he stops for a minute, looks around, and then laughs.

March 5 - Katelyn's first time at gymnastics

Katelyn was very excited for her first day at gymnastics. 

Julianne did NOT want to be there watching Katelyn.

Will didn't mind hanging out in his carseat with a few toys.

Katelyn was explaining a few things to me.
