Spring Break in Memphis

I took the boys to Memphis for Spring Break and boy did we have a GREAT time!! We got to spend lots of time with all 4 grandparents and aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends, too. I even got a bit spoiled, myself :) Thanks to everyone for making it such a wonderful trip.

All the boys loved Polaris rides through the woods

Melting my heart

That's what these little boys of mine do best!!!! I know I am completely biased, but Luke and Carter are the absolute cutest things in the whole world. I JUST WANT TO EAT THEM UP!!!!!!!! They also have a fabulous role model, Graham ... I was swinging him today and our conversation went like this:

Me: Do you know who I love?

Graham: Who?

Me: You

G: Do you know who I love?
Me: Who?

G: You and Daddy and Luke and Carter. Pauses for a few seconds and says, Do you know who else I love?

Me: Who?

G: God and Jesus

God knew exactly what he was doing when he gave me these 3 precious little boys to love and mold to become men after His own heart. They truly do melt a little more and more of my heart everyday :)

Lego Land

Graham has gotten VERY into his legos lately ... which is especially great for me since he is not napping very much these days. He always has new buildings, airplanes, cars, etc. built when I let him out of his room at 3. And he has shed quite a few tears when Luke and/or Carter sneak into his room and knock them down. My neighbor told me that she heard Atlanta is opening up a Lego Land ... we will definitely have to hit it up sometime soon :)

His airplanes

Luke LOVES shoes ... he looked like such an old man shuffling around in these pjs and shoes :)

Mary and Marsha

On our way home from church yesterday, we looked at Graham's picture and craft and were asking him questions about them and what he learned. He told us that Jesus helped a man not be dead anymore. We asked if he knew the man's name and he said "Lazzzz ...." We helped him out by asking him if it was Lazarus and he said yes. Then we asked him about the two girls in the picture ... he said, "They're crying. They're so sad." We asked if he knew their names, and he said, "Yes. Mary and Marsha." Kevin and I just looked and each other and chuckled :)

Demo Day

Today we began demo to our master bathroom. I keep reminding myself that the mess and headache of people in and out of my house and trying to keep the boys out of the way is all for the greater good. Can't wait to show some after pics when it's complete!!

Graham was trying to look under the door to see what was going on in there

Graham LOVES dressing up in crazy clothes

Carter in the "doctor's kit" glasses :)

The Great Outdoors

The past 2 1/2 months made me forget how wonderful life is when we can go outside on an almost daily basis. We have played outside almost every afternoon for the past 2 weeks, and I can't tell you the difference it has made in everyone's moods (mine specifically). Graham has already become a pro on his new razor scooter he got for Christmas :) We're debating whether or not to take the training wheels off of his bike soon ... tips and/or thoughts, anyone? I've also discovered that my triple stroller has gotten heavier and harder to push since the fall :) I know we still have some cold days ahead, but I'm just happy that the brunt of winter is behind us. Sorry no pics to post, but we really haven't been doing anything blog-worthy lately. Don't worry ... all 3 Geshke boys are still cute as ever. Pics coming soon!!

If only I could have a peek ...

... into Graham's brain. I wonder DAILY why he does the things he does. Last night after I got everyone ready for bed, we were playing in the den with the balls in the baby pool (yes, I brought it back out for a winter indoor activity). Carter waddled over to me and I noticed something funny about his pants ... I looked and he had two balls stuffed down the back. Then I turn around to see Luke who had 7-8 balls down his pants. I burst out laughing and asked, "Graham did you do that to him?" He responded affirmatively with a big grin :) The best part was that Luke acted like everything was normal. Oh, the joys of living with a 3 year old!!!

I can't look at this picture without laughing

Just going about his business
