Birthday Pics

We had a friend take pictures of the kids for their upcoming birthdays. Here are some of my favorites...by the way, Jordan is in purple and Logan is in teal.

Loving Jordan

Tonight when I was washing the dishes, Jordan came over to me and struck up the following conversation...
J: Mommy (showing me a picture of two bears hugging and two monkeys kissing)this is what I want to do to you.
Me: what do you want to do?
J: Give you hugs and kisses
Me: bending over for my hug and kiss, awww thanks Jordan.
(Meanwhile Ryan is in the room and says, I want to hug and kiss your mom too)
Me: Daddy likes hugs and kisses too
J: no, only mommy, not daddy. Maybe on Fathers Day.

I thought that was funny, and cute! Like Jordan's Pre-school teacher says, Jordan has the best stories.

Lucky Mom!!!

Today was Mothers Day. We had a great day. The Girls got me flowers and Ryan got me hanging plants for the porch. We did some yard work, shopped a little, went to a friends house for a BBQ, went for a run and simply hung out as a family. It was a good day! I am so lucky to have my 3 monkeys!!! :)

I Made It!

For the past 3 days, I had a mini daycare going on here. I had my 3 kids (4,4&1), Brooklyn (5) and three other boys (4,2,8 mon.). Yes, I had 7 kids to watch. I was a little nervous, but thanks to the beautiful weather, we played outside 90% of the day. Another bonus was that the boys were really good kids! Here are pics of quiet time (watching a movie while the two youngest slept).

Also, we have our third birds next in our yard. The duck one didn't make it. Something got into them, so sad and the other one didn't make it either. Hopefully these robin eggs will make it. Robin eggs are so pretty. The nest is in an unusual place. It is in this mini pine tree at ehe kids eye level.
