Oh Ben I can’t believe its your birthday AGAIN! How are you growing up so fast? I love you tons. I hope you enjoy the day even though I am a rotten mom and am breaking our cinnamon rolls with a candle birthday breakfast tradition because I didn’t go to the grocery store this week. [...]

Wow Jamie turns 4 today! She actually stayed up on the 4th of July until after midnight last night and we sang happy birthday on the car ride home (we had a lot of fun at a friend’s house and it was hard to drag the sleepy kids away). Today we kept with our cinnamon [...]

I don’t know how it happened but my baby is 18 months already! In honor of her 1/2 birthday yesterday we ate 1/2 a cake (and then finished the other 1/2 for breakfast today along with some cut up fruit). It may have just been a 1/2 birthday but the kid made a FULL MESS!

I never got around to posting about Ethan’s birthday party, probably because I hardly took any pictures at all, but I figured I better get to it before Jillian’s birthday gets here! There is Ethan in the orange shirt, its the ONLY pictures that I got of him during the entire party! What a cute [...]

Ben and Jamie really liked their party yesterday and I’m so happy! I think we had 19 kids, 2 babies and 15 adults. This was the EASIEST party that we have ever had for our kids! We had it at the roller rink during “trike trot and roll” time where the kids can use skates [...]

Here is the birthday boy on each of his birthdays:

Baby Ben all 9lbs 10oz of cuteness!

Grandma got him a big wheel for his 2nd birthday, its pretty worn out now.
Ooh we started a Chuck E Cheese tradition on his 3rd birthday, we’ll be there tonight!

Our little girl turned 3 today! Its tradition to start the day with cinnamon rolls with candles (apparently candles in the 3 big kids’ pizza and individual slices of cake might be a new tradition we’ve added this year). She had a fun weekend with the airshow yesterday, the UP movie, Joey’s  and swimming today [...]

Well I think the party went pretty well and if I hadn’t been in my 9th month of pregnancy it would have been such an easy party! Most of the kids liked the Clone Wars movie and our boys of course loved seeing it a second time. We lucked out and got the theater with [...]

We have a lot of fun with the kids birthday parties and normally aren’t afraid to have 20 kids running around our house and yard.   This year Ethan wanted a Star Wars party and while that opens a whole universe (har har) of options, Heather is 9 months pregnant so we decided to keep it [...]

Today is my baby boy’s 4th birthday! I can’t believe he is FOUR already! He is very excited and has been counting the days until it was his “real” birthday even though we already had his party. There he is above in his birthday suit after his party (he had to try out his new [...]
