OH NO, it's the.............DONUT MONSTER!

I don't know...

Happy 5th Birthday Alexander Matthew!

Alex- you were my first sweet, curly-haired little boy. Now you are 5 and I can't wrap my mind around that. You have grown up so much recently. You are doing great in pre-k. You never get in trouble and always listen to your teacher. I'm amazed at the papers you come home with, because when I try to get you to do the same things at home- you want nothing to do with it. As long as you are good and doing your work at school- I'm happy! However, when your daddy does your homework with you- you couldn't be more excited. I know you love me, but you love your daddy soooooo much. You love playing "Ninjago" and "Batman" with him. You have plenty of energy. You love playing outside. You love your best friend Owen. Your favorite color is green. Favorite shows are "Jake and the Neverland Pirates" -and "Ninjago". Like Emily, you also love your 3ds, which you got as a birthday present. You begged me to sign you up for t-ball, which starts soon. I am so excited for you and can't wait to watch! You are a typical boy....when I try to ask you how your morning at school was, it's like prying teeth! You give me a few tidbits of information and then tell me your too tired! Or that you'll tell me the rest "after wunch"..... I love you so much. You are so kind, funny, caring and handsome. I couldn't love you anymore than I already do. You are so special and I look forward to everything the future holds for our family!

This picture was taken on the last night I had a 4 year old in the house!

I did the same thing I did for Emily...he was so happy!

This was right after he opened his 3ds. He was thrilled!

Yes- he has a donut...don't judge- it's what the boy wanted!

Happy 7th Birthday Emily Rose!!!

Wow. It's hard to believe my little girl is 7 years old. Yes- 7!

Emily,

I love you so much. You are the best, kindest, funniest, prettiest little girl I know....I shouldn't say little girl because you have grown up so much since you started first grade. You are definitely sassier and developing your own opinions and ideas on things....which is (for the most part) good!!! You have a million questions, ALL THE TIME. You are becoming way too smart to trick anymore. I won't elaborate on that subject until you are older in case you have figured out how to read my blog entries....which I'm sure you have. You are very smart and always do awesome in school. You are a great reader and a lover of books. Your favorites right now are anything Dr. Seuss, Junie B Jones, and all of the "I can read books". Your favorite color is pink and your favorite show's are Ninjago and ICarly. Your 2 favorite things to do are play your "running game", which I also won't elaborate on because you will be very mad that I told everyone on blogger, and your other favorite thing to do is make books. You absolutely LOVE to make your books. And I love every.single.one. All 1,344,234 of them. I should also mention that you love playing on webkinz world and with your 3ds as well. You are quite a handful at times, but I wouldn't change you for the world!  I love you so much and love that you are getting older and we can do more things together. I'm sad to see you grow up so fast, but I'm glad that our relationship gets more awesome every day. You are my daughter and my best friend forever and ever. Happy Birthday, I love you with all my heart!!!
                      
p.s.....please try to be a tiny bit kinder to your little brothers. Especially Alex!

On the night before Em's birthday, while she was sleeping, I tied some balloons onto the end of her bed. I knew she would love this. What kid wouldn't love waking up to balloons on their birthday?! Thank you dear husband for going out at 9pm at night to retrieve said balloons!

I know...

I know I've missed many blogging opportunities...2 birthdays,  a holiday and some other random stuff. My camera is broken, won't turn on and is loaded with pictures. I think I need a new one finally, lol. I'll catch my posts up asap. Promise!
