St Patrick

I don't really know anything


about saint Patricks day, other than you must wear green. This year the kids and I had a fun day making cupcakes. I have seen these rainbow cupcakes and decided to try them. They were easy and the kids loved eating


them.

I love that face

I love the face my babies have after eating and they fall asleep. Had to take a pic to remember it.

Ryley Bug is Growing up!

Its a little late but I want to record some of Ryley's Birthday. Rye turned eight in January and was Baptized in February. She is such a great kid and I am so happy she is the first of the kids. She is kind and very thoughtful of others.

For her Birthday she wanted more than anything to get her ears pierced. She got her wish and I took her on her birthday to get them done. She was super brave and didn't even flinch. She has loved her new earrings and loves changing them and picking them out to match her outfits. I took her to dinner after the ear piercing. (This wasn't our best week as a family. Ben was sick with strep throat and we would later find that all the kids had strep throat. Yes that made me an awesome mom!) Dinner was just the two of us and it was fun.

I gave Rye a little interview on her birthday here are her answers...

Mikey gets hungry

I was feeding the baby today and mike decided he was hungry. What does a three year old feed himself? A nice cold bowl of butter. Mike climbed in the fridge pulled out the butter put it in his bowl and dug in. Yum. Luckily I was able to convince him to eat something else instead.

Marcus baby

Maybe I was doing it wrong the last two kids who knows. Marcus is really making me question my mothering skills. He is the most laid back baby I have ever had. This kid goes right to sleep. He is content just about anywhere and happy as can be. With Max and Mike we had to always cry it out. It was hard on me and I hated it they would cry and cry. Seriously we are talking crying for like and hour til they would give it up. Moral of the story I have either been doing something wrong or Heavenly Father is sending me the calm before the storm...

Max loves his brother

Max is in kindergarten and in his class they have show and tell every week. Before Christmas Break they had the theme of bring something green or red. For the entire month max had decided he wanted to take Marcus for his show and tell. He has a red and green Christmas outfit he had to wear to fit into the criteria. Max was so proud to show off his baby brother. After we left kindergarten we had to stop by second grade so Rye could have her turn. I am grateful all my kids seem to really love each other. I need to really enjoy it before they are all 16 and moody right?

This is max and his friend Henry in their class
