Four Little Crowders

I loved this post of the kids from last year and thought it would be fun to do it again with them this year. It's fun to watch and see them grow, not only in looks but in interests as well.

Our Mr. Oliver is two and growing up like a weed. He loves all things trains, planes and tractors and he makes sure to point out every single one he sees too. He loves singing and reading and just enjoys being outside. Rain, snow or bitter cold - this boy is just begging to be out there. He is also our little distructor and loves making messes everywhere he goes. His favorite new game is taking all of the bins of organized toys and just dumping them all on the ground. He finds it quite hilarious despite what mom and dad think. Oliver's new nickname just happens to be cookie monster and he could eat them all the time, anytime. And whenever we ask what he would like for lunch or snack it's always a sweet reply of "ummm cookie!" Oliver is also the best hugger and loves to snuggle with his mom. My most favorite moments are when Oliver leans overs and says 'I love you mama' with a big wet kiss. This boy has also decided to potty train himself, something this mom isn't quite ready for yet but hey I will take it! I seriously couldn't imagine life with out this big two year old of ours. He definitely brightens our days and keeps us on our toes.

 

Miss Bre is four going on fourteen. Cute and sassy and definitely dramatic, she is our sweet princess and the life of the party. She loves playing and coloring and doing anything that Chase is doing. She loves learning about teenage mutant ninja turtles just so she can talk and play with Chase, otherwise it is all about pink and fairies and anything girlie. Sabrina loves going to school and asks every morning if it is a school day. She talks about her teachers and friends she plays with and shares all the new songs she learns. She also loves playing with our dog Kia and taking care of her. Sabrina's new thing is asking for a baby sister and she is convinced she is getting one on valentine's day. While we have no immediate plans of having a baby anytime soon in the near future, we keep telling her that Kia is her sister and she has three pretty awesome brothers. Miss Bre is definitely our sweet nurturer and is seriously the best sister and daughter anyone could have.

Chase is our spunky and funny kindergartner and truly all boy. He loves watching football and baseball with mommy and daddy and is always asking if so and so is an approved team of mommy. So far he is a huge fan of the Broncos and the Royals but he likes to root for other teams that are winning or if they have a cool mascot, like the Seahawks. He is also obsessed with teenage mutant ninja turtles even though he hasn't watched the cartoon. He did watch the old school movie and thought it was awesome(it was) and loves reading about them. He tells everyone that when he grows up he is going to be a ninja and is pretty excited about it. He also loves learning about animals and is so incredibly smart when he talks about them. I am hoping that maybe he will be a veterinarian or biologist and fight ninja crime on the side. We are so blessed to have Chase-man in our lives, he is the best helper and greatest friend to his brothers and sister.

Fisher just turned seven and what a wonderful blessing he has been. He is loving being in the first grade and making new friends. He started piano this year and absolutely loves it. He is learning so fast and did so well on his first recital. Fisher has always loved music and we were so excited that piano has become something he enjoys. He will practice on his own and it's such a beautiful sound to fill our home. Like his baby brother, Fisher much rather be outside than in and is always wishing for it to snow. He mostly enjoys jumping on the trampoline or riding on his scooter and adores playing with Kia. They have become fast friends and we are so grateful for the help Kia has brought to our home and the bond she created with Fisher. We are proud of how much Fisher has learned and matured from this year and the tough transition to first grade, but he is doing awesome. Fisher is truly one happy kid and give him something that glows, lights up or tells time and he is content for hours.

We are truly blessed to have four amazing and beautiful and lovable kiddos in our home. They each bless us in unique ways and we are so very grateful they are ours!
