Crazy Life

I've been meaning to update this for months (as you can see....since April). It's been SO busy and crazy, that I can't even believe I thought I'd be able to update this. I'm really going to try to update this more and more, especially because the girls are now 15 months old and all the kids are growing up SO fast.
Peder is in the midst of potty training. He pees in the potty all the time, but absolutely refuses to poop on it. Any tips? Leave a comment! We're trying everything and I'm REALLY sick of poopy underwear.
Mari walks around the house carrying her latest accessory. Seriously, both girls LOVE to accessorize, but Mari has it down to an art. She also talks non-stop. She rides in the back of the van and talks the whole ride....whether it's 10 minutes or an hour.
Emmy is working on walking. She is REALLY wanting to keep up with her brother and sister, but she is also the most independent of our children. She is our little firecracker. She rarely cries, but boy is she good at YELLING!
Jake has stitches in his head....from touch football. He took an elbow to the eye....nice.
I've been scrapping and cross stitching like crazy. LOVE IT! I'm also in a book club, working part time for Heidi (my aunt) and Mark (my uncle) and participating in a Mothers of Multiples group.
Here are some pics of the kiddos. Something to tie you over till next time!

We're back!

Hey everyone!  I'm planning on getting back into updating this on a regular basis.  Hopefully once a week or so.  That way you can keep up with all 5 of us, rather then just Emmy.  Also, it may not always be pictures, but more of a "glimpse" into the Early Family Life.   Can't wait to get back into this!

Outside

I added a lot of pictures this time around....we've been without our computer for awhile. So be sure to check them all out. This set contains my favorite pictures. Two of my sweeties staring out the window together. SO CUTE!

Mother's Day and Father's Day

A day at the park

Great Grandma Pederson

First Baseball Game

Peder went to his first baseball game on June 8th. It was the Alexandria Beetles, a very minor league team. It was good fun, and they won!

First Fishing Trip

Grandpa took me fishing for the first time. I got to see my first fish....a baby sized Pike. You can see Grandpa holding it in the first picture.....I was a little scared. I spent most of the time sleeping. A boy needs his naps.

First Haircut

Mommy got a little teary.

Swimmin' with the Woman!

What a man! :)

Doesn't he look like a little man, just hanging out?

Swimming

Peder met his great aunt and uncle Pat and Bob a few weeks ago. He got to play in a pool for the first time while visiting them at their hotel in Red Wing. He also got to play with his cousin Jack while in the pool.....it was a ton of fun!

Stand up!

We had to drop Peder's mattress down another notch, because he figured out how to pull himself into a standing position while he was supposed to be taking a nap. He was SO proud of himself.
