Who needs training wheels?!

It seems as though our "little" 4 year old (who hates when you say "little" and corrects with the "I'm a big boy" remark) has grown up overnight. He certainly is much more independent and that also seems to be rubbing off on his crazy little sisters too...YIKES! Needless to say, one of the biggest milestones for our little man since turning the big 4....

BYE BYE TRAINING WHEELS!! My fearless bike-rider who has doesn't mind falling or crashing to stop under certain circumstances has heighten this momma's level of anxiety...but what fun he has and what a joy to see his big SMILE! We couldn't be any prouder!!!

Hello 2013!

Well clearly I have been on a blogging hiatus, but I'm back and hope to remain a bit more dedicated to documenting our journey with 3 crazy, fun-loving, completely precious little Birds! 

So long 2012....what a year! We definitely ended it with a bang! 

We partied it up at KK & Koury's wedding. 

We dressed the part and lived it up at Wurstfest this year....afterall Derek is officially an Opa. 

 Does it get any cuter? 

 My little man!!! Yes, rocking the chuck taylors with lederhosen...awesome!

This momma turned 31...definitely not as hard as it was turning 30!

We celebrated Thanksgiving in true Flume fashion. Beyond blessed we are!

We honored and celebrated the life and faith of a truly special young lady and raised over $23K for her memorial fund at the inaugural Madeleine Memorial 5K Christmas Stroll...what a magical night! It was a privilege to be a part of this amazing event...www.madeleinehindmanmemorialfund.com!

My babies turned the BIG 2!!! It's hard to believe we now have two 2 year olds!!! It has all flown by so quickly and just reminds us to savor each day, each moment!

Christmas...my favorite holiday!!! It was awesome in every way....fellowship, food, family, fun! I haven't even begun to go through all the pictures yet:)

Then sickness overtook the Bird House...total bummer but I think we are finally recovering from it all.

We rang in the New Year in our dreams....yes, we are getting old! It was spectacular:)

Hello New Year.....Bye Bye Diapers!!! That's right folks, I potty-trained the twins.  If only I'd have been able to take pictures...it was pure craziness but totally worth it!
