Sullivan Had a Birthday!

Sullivan is 3!

We decided to rent a bounce house/water slide for his birthday! We had been wanting to get one all summer and we figured Sullivans birthday being in August and all would be a perfect time to do it! We invited some neighborhood kids Sullivans age and his cousins over and They LOVED it! (They liked playing in the Sandbox too) They would jump in the bounce house and then climb up the stairs and slide down and get wet! It was a lot of fun! We will be doing it again!!! I think he had a pretty good day!

Some things Sullivan likes:

He love Spiderman

He loves to play with his sister

He LOVES Juice! I wish he would drink more water...

He wants to be BIG!

He loves to make his baby brother laugh!

He likes to climb into mom and dads bed in the middle of the night

He likes to play outside

He LOVES his friends

He LOVES his Papa

He likes trains

He likes PowerRangers

anyway... here he is the last day of being 2 and he had to dress up with Drezden! I really need to make him some boy dress up stuff. Otherwise he just ends up wearing one of Drezdens pink dresses :)

Before Phil left for work we had a little cupcake cake for Sullivan to blow out. It is what they had for breakfast! They loved it!

Here is my big 3 year old hanging out on the floor!

Blowing out another birthday cake at his party later that day

He loves Spiderman! My SIL made this awesome Spiderman cake! All the kids loved it! Drezden kept saying that she needed a Spiderman cake too when she has a birthday!

It has been a while

We got a new computer! It will take some time getting use to. For the last year we have been using a netbook we purchased at Walmart! Loved the price and actually the netbook has been really nice to have! But now we have upgraded to a Macbook. I am looking forward to seeing what I am capable of doing with my photography. Phil will be writing software for the iPhone and Android phone!

Here are some pics I took today to upload so I could try out iPhoto. I took these photos around 8pm. So not the best! But I still have one of the cutest models ever!

A fun Friday!

I have some fun kids, that keep me busy and sometimes wishing for a moment of peace... but I love them and can't live without them.

I think it is funny how sometimes life gets consumed with so much of one thing(like kids) that we forget about/don't recognize that we have someone else that we share our life with(spouse, s/o, ect). I love Phil, but I spend more hours in the day with my children than with Phil that sometimes I feel more like a Mother than I do a Wife. KWIM? I definitley need to get out on dates more with Phil, but I do enjoy doing things with my children too.

Yesterday we started out the day eating pancakes(which is one of the kids favorite foods to eat) and then we continued outdoors where the kids like to ride bikes and play in boxes. Drezden as you can see in the pictures below is wearing a pink dress on her head pretending to have long hair! She is silly.

After all the fun outdoors I asked the kids if they wanted to go swimming or go see Cars 2. They of course chose swimming! It was a lot of fun. The kids had so much fun that they were so sad when it waas time to go. I told them that we could come back and that maybe Daddy would be with us next time. Thats right, I took 3 kids 4 yrs and under to the swimming pool all by myself and actually let them get in the water! :) I deserve a medal... hahaha It really wasnt as bad as I thought it would be. For some reason the kids are really good for me when it is just me and the 3 of them. Phil is impressed that we all survived it. He would never even take on such a task. He says he has a hard enough time watching all 3 kids by himself. He could do it. If I can he can!

Anyway, hope you all have a wonderful 4th of July weekend!!! We are sure gonna enjoy ours, in our little own way!

Princess Festival

Friday morning a friend and I took our girls to The Princess Festival at Thanksgiving Point. We spent several hours walking around meeting princesses and getting autographs. Drezden got to help out Aladin during a story telling by pretending to be a genie, and she danced with the 12 Dancing Princesses.

Currently Drezdens favorite Princess is Princess Peach! She is obsessed with Mario so naturally she would like Peach. She had to wear a pink dress because that is what Princess Peach wears, so I bought some fabric from the local JoAnnes and came up with her dress. It turned out okay, I need practice making more dresses, but it worked. All in all we had a good time. I love my little princess and I hope she knows how much she is loved. Here are some pictures of us at the festival!

Zombies Hate Fast Food

I completed my first Ragnar Relay... If you don't know what a Ragnar Relay is check this out!

I had a great time and awesome team members!

Painting on a Sunday

We bought the kids a couple of craft kits from JoAnne Fabrics about a week ago and never got around to doing them. Today we decided since the kids were a little too sick to go to church that we would finally get around to painting the crafts. Drezden picked flower magnets to paint and Sullivan chose a Choo Choo Train. They had so much fun painting! Well, when Sullivan was painting he LOVED it. He did get a bit impatient when dad took over. Emmett did really well, he wanted to be right there with his big brother and sister but surprisingly he was so patient and just played with some toys and crawled back and forth from the dining room to the kitchen and vise versa. Here are some pictures from today!

Oh Sullivan...

Sullivan is 2! Although he will tell you he is 3 and that he wants a Spiderman birthday party. He is a silly boy. He drives his sister crazy! He likes to wrestle with the baby! And I love him! My Silly Silly Sullivan!

Drezden

I love my princess Drezden! She drives me crazy, she frustrates me, she makes me laugh, she makes me want to cry sometimes. haha, I do love her though! She made me a mother.

Can she be any cuter?

And oh, she wants her hair to be BIG like Tangled.

Funny girl!

Images of Emmett

He is 9 months old as of yesterday! Seriously he cannot get any cuter than this! Love this little boy of mine! He loves the piano! He loves to sneak up the stairs! He loves to find any kind of food he can get his hands on and eat it all up! He will eat anything and everything you give him. He has the cutest smile! And I just love to cuddle him! I just love my little Emmett!

I love my kids

One of my favorite things to do is take pictures of my kids doing silly things! Or just capturing some of their expressions whether they are happy, curious, sad, ect... My kids don't always look picture perfect, but I think it is great! It shows them how they really are! And really who wants to always look at perfect pictures? Okay, maybe someone paying for them...
