Nathan's 5th Birthday Party!

Aunt Lisa sent a SURPRISE ! You'd never know that what she made for the girls were supposed to be worn on the top! They put them on as skirts first, and then slept with them as blankets. They LOVE them :)

Dresses Aunt Lisa made with flower head bands that Uncle Erik's Mom made :)

Oh these kids crack me up!!

Rowan fell asleep with his construction goggles on! I went in to check on him before going to bed, it would have been a better picture if I had carried my camera with me :) When I went in, he was asleep with it across his eyes. He must have heard the door, and you can see in the picture his eye opening, and he had pulled his hands up. But still hilarious! His response, "But Mom, why you take a picture?" Because your too cute Rowan !

Yesterday Ivy and Rowan went riding their bikes down the street, Ella decided to run instead, a couple of times back and forth. Then..........she must have gotten tired because she just sat down in someones driveway, then she laid down.....crying out "Daddy, pick me up"....I went down, but to take a picture :) and she started laughing when she looked at me.

"If you have the choice to be Respected or Loved...always choose being Respected.....Because if your respected, Love may come.....but Love without Respect, will go."

Just heard Governor Chris Christie quote this, his Mother taught this to him....she had intended this to be about women in his life, but he applies it to his life and politics. I want to teach my children this so I wrote it down!

The kids learned new songs at church today and they gave out CD's with the new songs, they wanted to do the dance to the new songs as SOON as we got home!

They had "tutu girls" on the stage at Sunday School this weekend. That's what the girls called them, that's part of why it was such a hit probably :) They were teenage girls (oh so cool to little girls) and they wore funky tights and tutu's....nothing is a better wardrobe choice in my girls eyes.
