Outside

It has been so nice outside lately and Piper has been wanting to go outside to ride her new bike that she got for Christmas. So while the older kids were at school we went out. Koen loved it, and through a fit when I bought him in. It was fun watching him explore, last summer he was just an itty bitty baby.

Anniversary

March 12th was our 11th wedding anniversary. What a great 11years. We went out to dinner to Texas Roadhouse and then to the movie Avitar. It was such a great night, I love this boy.

Marley's 9th Birthday

Marley turned nine on March 7th. I can't believe how old she is. She is a wonderful girl, and has many friends. She had a party with some of her friends and cousins. They ate pizza and made necklaces. Her birthday cake was home made asfault pie. Then the next day we had family parties with both sides. She got a desk for her room. She was very excited about that.

Marley and her grandma Patti. They share birthdays. Patti's is the day after.

Boden's 6th Birthday

February 25, was Boden's birthday. He was my first child to actually plan his own birthday party without my knowledge. We usually take turns with birthday parties and this year is Marley's turn to have a friend party. We told Boden that he would have a just a family party. Well the next day I got a call from a mother in Boden's class that called for details about Boden's party. She said he told her her son was invited and that it was on Thursday at his house. Well, I was surprised, and told the mom I would call her back. Then I talked to Bo. He said "ya I planed it and we are going to play Wii games and have cake and ice cream. I just could not tell that excited little boy no, so he did get his friend party and they did play Wii games and he loved every bit of it. I now decided to let every kid have a friend party in the same year, and then have a a break for a couple of years.

Valentine's Day

We had a great Valentine's Day. Cory and I went out to dinner at Texas Roadhouse with some friends and had a great time without kids. Our Valentine gift to each other is finishing our basement. The kids got candy and were as happy as could be with just that. I love, love, love my little family.

Fun times

This was at my niece Lilly's birthday party. She had it at Randi's Tumbling. The kids had a blast and my camera was throwing a fit so I didn't get very many pictures. Boden and Marley were jumping off the platform like crazy monkeys and Piper loved the slide that went into the foam pit. What a great place for a party.

Cute Brothers

Marley actually took this pictures of the boys spending quality DS time together. So cute. I love these two little guys.

Koen's 1st Birthday

I can't believe that it had been a year since this sweet little boy joined our family. He is truly an amazing little spirit. I love him so much and we are so very blessed to have him.

A few days ago we had a party at my mom's house. Koen shared a birthday party with my sister in law Jessica. He opened his presents and then got to get messy with his birthday cake.

The next day we had a party with the Briscoes, and there he shared a birthday with his cousin Dylan. Lots of birthdays and lots of fun.

He has found out how fun it is to stick his tongue out.

Wondering if it is really ok to dig in.

Lots of Christmas

I am amazed at how fast Christmas comes and goes. I love this time of year, and the time spent with my family. I love my babies, and the smiles on their faces. I love the ornaments that fall off the tree, and the nativity sets that get rearrange everyday. I love the moment when everything is in chaos and my husband smiles at me from across the room. This year was the best. I think that I say this every year, but it was.
