School Talent Show

Lilly and two little girls from her kindergarten class were in their school talent show tonight.  They made up their dance with the help of an older sibling and practiced for two weeks.  They were very excited!  We went as a family, which we rarely do these days, and we had a blast.

Yay Lilly!  We're so proud of you. :)

Beautiful Weather

I'm so in love with the weather this week.  We recently had an electric fence put in for Oliver.  It was perfect timing because he loves to sit under our tree in the front yard and watch everyone pass by.  He learned very quickly not to cross the flag line though a few times he's taken the shock to be with us...

 Oliver finished with his ride.  Ella, our patient and relaxed child.  Love her soul.

I have not pulled my camera out much lately but will work on incorporating it back into our days!  As the boys become more mobile and competent I have to be ready and waiting around every corner and taking pictures has taken a back seat.  These pictures were taken with my cell phone.

Enjoy the week!!

Trick Candles

Thank goodness I also found this video of Lilly blowing out her candles and the only picture salvaged of her cake!  Not the greatest cell phone video because I was worried about her hair...

Freeze Dance

I found a video on my phone of Lilly and her class playing Freeze Dance at her birthday party!

Big Girl

So, I'm trying not to freak out.  About 5 minutes ago I uploaded all the pictures from Lilly's 6th birthday party and something happened... 49 pictures were lost.  Of those pictures were the ones of our family, Lilly's cake, kids singing to Lilly, a whole group shot, the kids dancing and lying on the floor spelling out her name, watching a movie, and more.  I know this isn't the biggest deal in the grand scheme of things but right now, it's killing me.  This is all I'm left with...

 Lilly had her whole class to the house for a Pajama Party.  The kids all arrived in pajamas and with sleeping bags.  They watched some of the movie Cars, made a dream catcher, got airbrush tattoos, had their hair and nails done (by Stephie and her friend Bayla), ate pizza and fruit, had cake, and played many games including Freeze Dance.  It was a bit hectic at parts (13 boys!!) but the kids had a blast which is all that matters.

 Lilly picked out tie dye plates and napkins and her cake was a tie dye sheet cake (I don't even have a picture of it, wahhh!).

 Ella had a ball too.  This is the only picture salvaged of Ella from the party.  There were some adorable ones of her in pig tails with her nails painted.  The boys did a great job too but I don't have any of those pictures either.

 Some of the boys hanging with Lilly...

Thankfully Thomas and Jackie were there to help.  Thomas manned the tattoo machine and Jackie helped with everything.  We were busy busy busy and when all the kids left we plopped down and ate and relaxed!!  Lilly sent each child home with a pair of pajamas as their gift.  I can't believe our baby girl is 6 already. 

Happy Birthday Lilly!!

Trouble

 My baby boys.
I love my baby boys.

They love to play and they do find trouble but I can't complain.
I heard the vase drop and turned the corner to see this...

 I'm not sure who they were blaming.  Maybe the dog was sitting under the table.  

Thankfully I have Ella who is witness to most and teller of all.

 

Luke likes to dump out any bag or box he can get his hands on.  On this day it was an extra large BJ's size bag of Pirate's Booty.  

Oliver enjoyed it!

"Hi Mommy!!"

 Everyone here is well. Blogging is harder to find time for as is exercising, sleeping, and many other things but life is good.  

I can't complain!

May The Force Be With You
