Babies everywhere!

We know 5 babies that were born this wkend, F-I-V-E!  One of which was my niece.  The kids had a great time meeting her - even though most of us were sick...

Welcome to the crazy fam-dam, GG! 

70.

Happy 70th birthday to a wonderful grandfather to my children.

Family Day #4 - HAPPY BIRTHDAY Lai Lai!

Our sweetie is officially 5!  We spent this week's "family day" celebrating her at Remlinger Farms.  They have about 20 kids rides & various other things to do.

Ponies!  

Our kids in front. 

Flying pumpkins

Spinning barrel (aka - not a ride your mama will do...)

Perf!  

Lunch time! 

Pic taken at 12:44 - the time she was born.  

Always holding hands.

And out.  

Rainbow theme.

We celebrated L's 5th birthday a few days ago with a rainbow party at the park.  This girl is a true gift form above.  We're so thankful for this ray of sunshine.  

Axel's "senior picture", right!?

Mr. Axel Benj is 3!  

One, two, THREE - Dig in!

My sweet boy is turning three in one week!  Sadly, I'll be out of town for part of it so, we decided to celebrate him seven days early.  I wish I could say that he loved every minute of it but, I'm pretty sure this will be his last birthday party...  He loved playing with his cousins but, he was embarrassed & didn't like the attention during gifts & cake... (At least he didn't punch anyone this year while we sang him "Happy Birthday.") - Is he his father's son, or what!?  We promised him we would not do another party, but will think of something that will be equally as special to replace future parties.

Almost 3! 

J & I had a great time designing this dump truck, digger, roller cake!  

Bathroom ;)

Cones & caution tape everywhere!  

(This is exactly why we only invite family to birthday parties...  10 little cuties are enough to prep for thankyouverymuch. )

Thank you to ALL who came out to love on our little man & support our family.  I know it was so special for him to have everyone together (minus the birthday song...)  :)  Love you all!

75!

HAPPY 75th BIRTHDAY to my fabulous UNCLE DAVE & faithful blog follower!!!  We hope you enjoyed the sun & felt celebrated.  We are so thankful for you!!!  

Birthday Bowling.

I rang in my 34th year bowling with my fam.

The day quickly went downhill from here...  so, we'll just move right along, mkay.

Happy Birthday, Grammy!

Happy Birthday to an amazing mother & grandmother to my kids.  She's always available to talk, babysit or invite us for a meal on just the evening I don't want to cook.

We had a little celebration for her at my brother's house.  Sadly, 2 of the 7 grandkids couldn't make it (they are represented on L's lap).  

Love you mom!!!

Happy half!

My girl's officially 4 1/2.  We had a wonderful day filled with a music class, car wash (which my kids love), tuna melts (L's choice), ballet, & dinner / movie night with cousins.

She continues to fill my heart with such joy & pride.  She grows closer & closer to the Lord each day, cares deeply for her brother, has patiences with her inpatient parents & is as creative as they come.

Love you, sweet girl!
