Now this is just stinkin’ smile-causing cute. Watch til the end. A great 3 minutes of bliss. =)
Our World
So we added a few new faces around here, but due to protecting them in the world of Internet you fellow readers won’t be seeing them. 😉 But even in protecting their identities I can still share our lives with you all. =)
So our table looks like this…. daily. (only I’m usually there).
And this is how we do everything now:
And we have one more happy helper:
And our car is full:
And WE LOVE IT!!!!
Now let’s just help convince this guy to sleep through the night. 😉
And he’s even cuter in person. 😉
Shooting Range
One of the first few days that we had Big Guy he was up while everyone was napping. Matt had returned from the hospital with Little Man and the house was silent as recovery was spreading among the masses. While Matt worked away at some school work, I took the opportunity to get a few chores done when I noticed my shadow. Big Guy followed me around with his new Nerf guns we got with a few t-shirts for his wardrobe. Taking the opportunity to get to know him, the laundry waited as we enjoyed the window-cling nativity animals shooting range. 😉
Then naturally this had to happen:
Boom!
 
Oh yeah… it was crazy fun.
We even did rolling-in stunts.
Who cares that I was in a skirt…. I can do swat-team in a skirt. 😉
– All for his laugh.
Wordless Wednesday: Because Sometimes
Because sometimes you just have to dress them all in matching outfits and try to take a picture…
Oh and did I mention that to keep their attention Daddy shot a balloon at them?
– Love catching their delight. =D
– 4 yrs, 2 yrs and 4 months are so much fun!
Head-dress
By the way, this little stinker turned 4 months on the same day that her sister turned 4 years.
Kinda cool huh? That’ll never happen again, but it was fun to have a 4 month old on the same day I had a 4 year old – still…. still have a 4 year old. Oh well, you know what I mean. 😉
– Love her so!
4th Birthday Cuteness
So here’s Rachael’s 4th Birthday cuteness in pictures. =)
my dear friend, Darlene, sent us this wreath to welcome home our Hannah. It has a clip on sign saying “welcome home Hannah” that can be replaced with this “happy birthday” clip on sign. Then the sign also has a clip attached to it and a name tag for each of the girls. SO thoughtful and super cute.
We started the weekend out with our intermediate family fun.
and we let Rachael struggle with Aunt Jes’ tape job. 😉
She didn’t complain once, especially post-gift.
Then on Saturday we had the family over to celebrate with a brunch and festivities:
our chefs.
our fine china via Rachael’s choice.
clown pancakes
making princess party hats (and knights for the boys)
pin the crown on the princess
pinata with strings (no we weren’t going to beat Ariel with a stick – that would have traumatized my kids)
the cutest little onlooker
And caked goodness. =)
with Daddy’s help again this year.
Then came the surprise slumber party with a friend that night. It was the first slumber party for Rachael and Josie both. =)
Watching a movie together WITH POPCORN!!! (simple excitements)
dance breaks during the songs, naturally
And then this happened:
=D
Wonderful time, indeed!
