a few flicks...

when anders was about 3 months old, hazel was 18 months old.  i just can't remember much from those days, i was tired and there was so much cuteness and so much crying.  spit up and diapers and monitors and cooking dinner with one on the hip and one at the ankles.
today, it's wild in new ways and i figure every year with these now 3 kiddos will bring new seasons of fun and crazy and adventure.
today, hazel is 4 1/2, anders is 3 and lena is 6.  hazel and anders fight and make up and laugh.  lena crawls and walks and gets into everything like a 6 year old toddler.  hazel wants to hug lena and lena wants to use her to pull up to walk around.  they fall down and lena laughs and hazel is angry.  anders isn't listening much because he's gotten much better at playing on his own and pretending...so much so that listening or not banging his spiderman against the glass isn't on his radar.
i love attempting to capture some moments from these wild days on camera.  some days i instagram too much and it's also why i try to keep up with this blog.  i have a terrible memory.  terrible.  so, i've had become okay with the fact that there are plenty of things i won't be able to capture and i've get to just enjoy the days and moments without any capturing.  for every moment i capture, there are about a million more that i just get to live. really live.
and i do.

here are some things lately that have been captured...

hazel & anders singing to the radio...."back togeder"


and more singing at hazel's talent show at school.  she did great and then realized people were watching her.


and more talent in our living room, sometimes you just feel it and have to run back to your room and put on a leotard. and apparently it's a room full of ballerinas because if any of us walked through there, she would let us know we were knocking over the other dancers.



and some bedtime lena cuteness


and now for the kicker...if you can push through the minute, the end is hi-larious.  let me set the scene:: saturday morning, hanging out & playing. anders is a jailkeeper and matt & hazel are in jail.
"don't worry, i can fix it!!!"
