Max's Birthday

We missed his birth, his first and second birthdays and finally made it to number THREE!! It was fun to watch this little wild man run crazy and have fun on his day. He has NO fear and more energy than anyone I know. I love this boy so much, and was so happy to be there for the announcement of his being a big brother next fall. What a great day:)

Sister Time

My sister has an awesome husband. He bought she and I spa passes for some sister time. It was AMAZING! I will never forget relaxing in our tubs with cucumbers on our eyes, and throwing lemons in each others water. Good times. Obviously the whole thing was fun and relaxing, loved the soak, the 90 minute massage and steam room but more than anything loved that experience with my sis!!

Feeding Ducks

It has kind of become tradition to go with Grams and Gramps to have lunch and feed the ducks at Salem Pond. The weather finally warmed up a bit for us to make that happen again this trip.
The ducks are a bit daring and come right up to you which the girls loved, almost as much as their happy meals and playing with Gramps.

six years

six years to this guy. I am so lucky:)




And we are so excited to to know that the next part of our adventure will be taking us to INDIANA!

Green Day

Once again spent St Patricks Day with some of our good friends and lots of green food. We love holidays, or any excuse to get together and have fun!

Best Bowling Moves

Ani had a bowling field trip, dad was the lucky one who was able to go with. He got a kick out of telling her she needed to lean to get the ball to change directions. I wish I would have been there to see this!
She and her best friend Alainna have had so much fun together this last year. They have been able to go on so many fun field trips together, have play dates, and see each other every day at school. Ani has been so lucky to have such a good friend while we have been here, she is going to miss her so much:)



Check out these bowling skills! She is awesome:)

TWELVE

I can't believe Ry is twelve! It does not seem that long ago that I became a mom. She was a stubborn, difficult little girl, but I am loving her at twelve. These last few years she has become such a responsible, fun, loving girl. She is so much help with her little sisters and always helps me out without my asking her to.
She is doing so well in school, straight A's. She is actually the substitute math teacher in sixth grade and many of her teachers tell me they love having her in class because she is actually thinking and paying attention.

Ry LOVES school and hanging out with her friends. She is the biggest bookworm and could read all day long. She has a big appetite and loves hamburgers, nutella and icecream.

We love this girl so much and are so lucky to have her in our home and in our lives. Happy Twelfth Birthday!!!
