Aunt Ivy's Wedding

Friday was Aunt Ivy's wedding.

Their is no lack of love from aunt's and uncle's and grandma's and great grandma's

All my sweeties, does it look like some of them are eyeballing that cake??? Thankfuly it made it till the bride and groom were ready to cut the cake, but our kids made up for waiting by each downing 3 slices of wedding cake. (the slices weren't that generous)

Afterwards the kids played in the playhouse and nana and grandpa's little playground.

Getting ready for Easter

We tried a different egg dying kit this year.

The kids each got a plastic bag that we put the eggs in the bag. We put little drops of dye on the egg and the kids rubbed it into the egg, them we repeated the process with another color and so on.

We ended up with pretty tie-dyed eggs and some multicolored fingers, but all in all I think it turned out okay. The kids were proud of their creations and we had eggs for potato salad.

Wild Wednsday as the Whole Rabble goes for a Ride

It never ceases to amaze me at what handsome boys we have.

Yabadabado!!! Our Flinestone boys ride as a stress relieving break during our shopping outing, you know how men are.

The girls on the other hand just think it is an added bonus to the shopping.

Getting wet on Tuesday

Brendan sprays the girls, much to their surprise, as well as mine because I was trying to get a picture.

It was easy to get him to stop spraying, I just asked him to come pose for a picture. The hose was immediately dropped.

Work it girls, be ferocious, make love to the camera, and yes Brendan, just stand there and smile. Thrilled to just be in front of the camera perhaps a modeling career is in store???

McDonald's after the park

Monday starts off with a trip to the park

Alec strengthening his muscles as he pushes one sister and then the other.

Kiki behind bars...we hope not.

Brendan: "Look at me, I am cute!!! Take my picture". Me: "What are you doing up there??? Get down this instant!! Oh, well, you are kind of cute, just one picture then you are getting down". (Someone's a sucker)

Brendan is getting very proficient at basketball, I am quite impressed with his five year old skills. This is his little ball for his little hoop at home, and it doesn't work quite so well with the adult size hoops at the park, but he still does really well for his size.

Action shots. Wheeeee!!!

Moments in our crazy life

Our future football stars!!! This was a really busy week at our house, we had bridal showers and pinewood derbys, track tryouts, and several little ones with fevers, cousins and grandma's visiting from far away and someone still has to go to work to pay the bills, it was all I could do to keep my head above water so this week we just have moments.

Kiki and I grab a quick bite in between running errands.

Dad and the boys worked on the cars for the pinewood derby, Brendan has decided he wants to be a scout "when I grow up" Dad told him just three more years and he can be a Cub Scout.

But meanwhile he decided to try his hand at being the resident horsey and freelance photography.

Daddy thought his princess looked adorable so he snapped a quick picture and we celebrated the first flip flops of summer with painting of the toenails.
