A NIGHT FOR CELEBRATING!

We have had a lot to celebrate in the of May (Kaylynn's B-day, Liam's B-day, and finishing school for the summer). We decided to go to Old Chicago to have some yummy calzones. Grandma and Grandpa came along for the fun!

"Where's the food?"

"Is this really going to be hot?"

Fun with Grandma and straws.

"ooh, so moist!"

KAYLYNN FINISHES HER FIRST YEAR OF PRESCHOOL

Kaylynn finished her first year of preschool with flying colors! Her teacher, Miss Laura says she is an "ideal student."

96 DEGREES AND A WATER HOSE!

It's the beginning of May and it was 96 degrees on this day. The kids wanted to play with the hose so I thought I would make it fun for them in the back yard. I filled up the snow sleds with about 3 inches of water and cut a couple of strips of plastic ground barrier to make a fun slip-n-slide. It is amazing what a little water can do. I thought Liam would just kind of sit back and watch Eli and Kaylynn, but he went straight for the sled and climbed right in. Then he went over to the hose that I had on mist for the slip-n-slide and stuck his face in it! By the end of our water fun, Liam's diaper had exploded!

Lounging Liam!

Eli sun bathing!

Kaylynn striking a pose!

Misty fun!

WILLIAM IS 1!

Now it's Liam's turn. I can't believe he is already a year old! I made him a shirt too, only with 1 candle on a cupcake. He had a great time with his cake. He totally demolished it! He ended up blue from head to toe as you shall see below!

Opening his presents.

Happy Birthday to you!

"Oh, this is fun!"

"Oops, I missed a spot!"

"I can't see my hands anymore!"

What a mess!

All that cake made him all tired out!

KAYLYNN IS 4!!!!

Our little Kaylynn is growing up so fast. She had a Hello Kitty party for her birthday and had to invite all of her cousins and a couple of friends. I made the shirt she is wearing. It is a cupcake with 4 candles on it. Aren't I crafty? When she opened her last gift (a little Maltese stuffed dog) she said "wow this is just what I wanted from Wal Mart!"

Opening presents.

We love you Kaylynn!!!!

LIAM'S CUBBY: April 2009

Liam has a fascination with the fireplace. He thinks it's fun to climb in there and hang out!

EASTER FUN 2009!

We had so much fun over the Easter holiday. We started on Saturday with an egg hunt with a bunch of friends at the park. Then we colored some eggs for the Easter Bunny, which turned all of our hands blue. The Easter Bunny made a visit to our house and left some treats on Sunday morning. We ended up at Nana's house with all of the cousins for yet another egg hunt! We had candy coming out of ears!!!

My little peep!
