Random March ~ Perhaps the craziest month on record!

Oh March, you brought us some of the absolute most wonderful days but also some of the most stressful and tiring too.  While I have written about many of the month's big and small events already, I like to go through the pictures on my camera phone now as regularly as I can because it usually gives a unique glimpse into our lives that I don't often capture with our real camera.  I am getting a little better at snapping quick pictures with my phone lately.  Here is a little look at March from the lens of my phone camera:

Of course, we started the month welcoming this precious little rainbow to our family. 

And quickly learned that he was super sweet. 

And also has a temper. 

And he's quite the little thinker. 

And is the favorite little brother in the house to his two big brothers. 

After only one night in his first home, we packed him and his whole house up and moved 4 hours away. 

He handled it all like a champ. 

He enjoys his sleep in his own little bed, but he hates when mommy flashes the camera in his face. 

He is super snuggly too. 

And we enjoyed dressing him up, of course. 

On one of our first pleasant days in our new neighborhood, I took the boys out to their new playground to play.

Evan was happy there was a merry-go-round although Brody was not quite as thrilled.  He didn't mind helping push it though. 

And Evan never misses an opportunity to fight off some bad guys.

Mattox enjoyed the sunshine and fresh air too. 

Evan shows off his strength as he climbs. 

Evan definitely did not inherit my motion sickness.  He is not bothered by these spinning contraptions. 

Wearing big brother Brody's Little Brother shirt. 

We got to see the first cherry blossoms on our old cherry tree in Charlotte one last time when we went back to finish the moving business. 

And we enjoyed dressing up our littlest leprechaun in his green for his first St. Patrick's Day. 

My three little leprechauns.

I enjoyed lots of cuddles from my littlest man.  I wish I never had to put him down. 

And yes, I guess technically this is a selfie, but no one has been around to take our picture together, and I just want to remember how sweet he looks cuddling on mommy. 

The boys enjoyed playing on a big skidder on Arbor Day at our state Farmer's Market.  Daddy set up a booth for his organization, the North Carolina Forestry Association, along with many other groups to teach people about trees and forests. 

Brody enjoyed pretending to drive. 

As previously noted, we thoroughly enjoyed our visit with these awesome folks. 

Oh my goodness, I just love holding him.  

And big boy Evan headed back to school after a nice three week break.  He will finish up his 2nd grade year in June, get about a month break and start the 3rd grade after the 4th of July.  He has really adapted quickly to his new school and has made lots of friends with his classmates.  We have also been very impressed with his new school and have noted that he is learning a lot more than at his old school which was a constant disappointment.  He has weekly spelling tests, learns proper grammar and writing, has science and social studies lessons daily, and has much more productive math exercises.  We are so very thankful for a good learning environment.  He had never had a spelling test before so he wasn't as prepared for his first test, but his second one he got all but one word right after we spent the week reviewing his words every day.  It was actually kind of funny because he misspelled "surely."  His words have been ones that do not follow the normal rules of phonics.  He spelled surely the way many of us southern folks (I am sure his teacher was one of them) say it:  "shorely."  Haha!
