Happy Birthday to C Man!!!

So I can't believe that our sweet little boy turned 5 last week!! We had a pretty great Superhero party!! It sure was a lot of work for me but the kids had a great time!! I was a little surprised to wake up to the ground covered in snow but we improvised and everything turned out great! Here are the kids in the garage waiting to spray the bad guys off the tops of their buildings that they decorated. The garage was covered in silly string but it was awesome!!!

Here are some of the party favor bags that I made!! I thought they turned out pretty cute and it didn't take me too long to make them.

Here was our awesome city scape backdrop that we were able to borrow from one of my sisters neighbors!! It was so cool and took up a big portion of my wall!! We had a few signs/props for the kids to get their pictures done!! For the world of me I couldn't get a picture of my cute 5 yr old on his special day. He was way to busy playing and did not want to stop for pictures!! Oh well, I tried and hopefully that is worth something!

Here are the kids by the wall with the capes, masks, and armbands that I made!! This is what took me the longest amount of time to make but they were sure cute!! The capes were reversible and the little man LOVED the wristbands!! He's been wearing them around for weeks. He told everyone that the stars would give you special powers!!

Here are the sweet little girls with their little capes (just so they wouldn't feel left out) I had enough material left and we thought it would be cute for a picture....so here they are. I can't believe how big they are getting!!! They are the cutest little buddies!!

My sister, "Shugacher", is the most amazing sign maker, EVER!! She whipped this cute sign up in about an hour!! She is so talented and what is a party without an AwesoME sign? Thanks Cher!!

Here is one picture of my little guy..not the greatest quality...but hey, we were down in the basement and the lighting is terrible. This is him decorating his building. He obviously dressed himself in his most favorite things...jersey shorts and a t-shirt. He is such a great kid. He is smart and determined. He is tough but very sweet and sensitive. He is a great big brother and helper to me. He is my best sleeper!! He is my most snuggliest child!! I LOVE him to pieces and am so glad I get to raise him!! Love you buddy and Happy Birthday!!

SaTurdAy!!!

What a FUN spring we have had this past few weeks. Saturday was an especially CRAZY day for O. From soccer, to two birthday parties she had a FUN-FILLED day!! They won their soccer game and she actually kicked the ball a few times. She is learning more and we haven't had the tears that we had in the fall season. Her first bd party was at a really fun place with lots of the big bouncy toys. Then her cute cousin Aubs had a princess party. She got to dress up, get her face painted and meet AURORA, who taught them how to twirl, and curtsie. What a GREAT day. The boys went to the farm and helped move some pipe!!

Sister O with the beautiful Aurora!!

These two little turkeys are usually up to NO good. Sister O has been sneaking into Little Mans room during the night and sleeping with him. This is how I found them the other morning.

Another year has come and gone for my hubby. He's one year older and wiser with a few more gray hairs to prove it. We had a fun birthday celebration for him. He's a great hubby, father and uncle!! Here's to another year and some more gray hairs :)

Happy Birthday Little Man!!

The little Man of our house hit the 3 year mark last week. We have had a fun week of celebrations. We celebrated with the little twinnies (who turned 3 the week earlier) all on Easter!! Cher made a cute HOPPY BIRTHDAY sign. Jordan channeled her inner Martha and made some delicious cakes. Her first time doing fondant and they turned out pretty good.
Zac and Jojo also gave him his first little gun with the rubber darts and he was loving it. I think the gun was broken by the first night but he did have a grand time with it.

On his real birthday it had snowed a good bit so we decided to head indoors down to the Discovery Gateway. My kids absolutely LOVE playing there so we had a fun, crazy, and busy afternoon!! Dad met us for dinner. We wanted to go to a restaurant where they would sing to him but as soon as he snarfed down his corndog, he sacked out for a power nap. He even fell asleep with a little bit of food still in his mouth.

We don't know what we would do without this Lifeful little boy in our lives. He was worth every minute of bedrest and shots and medications. We are glad he is healthy and developing appropriately. Yesterday he was playing outside in the backyard with all the kids and he came in later and had his first stinky, sweaty boy smell!!! I couldn't wait to throw him in the bath. Love you little man!!!

FROM THIS......

TO THIS.....

Our sweet O made it to the 5 year mark. After a pretty rough start to life (5 wks. in the NICU), she has grown and done remarkably well. We had a fun week celebrating her birthday, with lots of parties and treats!! She had her first friend birthday party. She wanted a CARNIVAL. It was so much fun but a lot of work to put together. Not to mention that G was out of town until the morning of but hey I have the best family to help me.

The ticket booth..made out of an old freezer box. There were lots of games (knockdown, face painting, clothespin drop, musical clowns, ping pong squirt, fish pond etc.)

My mom posing in front of the cute carnival sign that I found. The kids had a great time. O wanted to have the horse, Blackie, as one of the stations. The kids had fun riding the horse.

C flying down the slide on the bounce house. Our neighbors are awesome and let us borrow their bounce house for all the festivities.

O posing in the strong man picture. She had a great birthday and I can't believe she is already FIVE. She is so sweet (most of the time:) She is a wonderful helper to her mom and is a good friend to her brother, cousins and friends. WE LOVE YOU SIS!!!

BIRTHDAY BASH!!

We finally got around to celebrating Caleb and Greg's birthdays. Caleb turned two while we were in Orlando (posts still to come about our trip, life's been BUSY) & Greg turned the big 3-0 while he was in Hawaii. We had everyone over for cake and ice cream and lots of FUN. The camera battery died half way through the party so we didn't get a lot of pictures but we had a great time.
