Hungry Hungry Hippo

 

Someone was hungry this morning (and by this morning I mean a long time ago when I took these pictures) and made himself breakfast. 

He was SO HUNGRY he needed to use the BIG spoon!  Ha-haa.  What a goober!

Happy St Patty’s Day!

Back in March I caught the sewing bug again, I decided to test it out on a quick and easy project… 

 

I knew I didn’t have anything green for the kids for St Patty’s day, so Reygann and I took a trip around JoAnn Fabrics and we decided on this white and green sparkly shamrock print.  Making dresses for the girls was nothing, but I couldn’t leave Brody out.  So I did my best making him a tie.

As always we threw a surprise party for mom.  It was her day off so she was home so we set things up with dad… except she went outside to bring him a glass of water right as we pulled up!  DOH!!

I hoped to get a good picture of the my kids and all the grandkids… but you know how that goes!

 

It was a Beautiful March day and we all ate outside.  I made green lemonade and green cupcakes.

I’m pretty sure Mom isn’t going to be surprised next year!  :0)

AWANA Celebration

  

AWANA ended back in May, as always they had a great celebration to show off what our children had learned.  They sang songs they had learned and some of the older kids recited passages.

This is Reygann’s last year as a Cubbie.  She seems too young to be a Spark, but she is actually a few months older than Kylie was when she became a Spark.  She’s really excited to be with Kylie, and Kylie is ready to show her the ropes. 

 

Kylie is starting her 3rd (and last) year as a Spark!  I can’t believe she has been in for so long, she is going to be a teen before I know it!

…and pretending to ignore me while she is sitting there, SUCH a teen thing to do!  :0)

 

We LOVED Reygann’s Cubbie teachers!

Miss Annie is actually the daughter of the piano teacher I had when I was younger!  I thought it was pretty fitting that her mom taught me, and now she is teaching my child.

Miss Michelle wasn’t only our Cubbie teacher for both years she was also one of her Sunday school teachers!  She really Loves Miss Michelle and still stops by the class she teaches in to say hi to her even though she is no longer in there.     

Congrats girls!!

St Nicholas Day 2009

I *Heart* these kids!  :0)

 

The older kids had a great time giving Columweil rides in his walker…. and he enjoyed them too

  

Brody was so sweet Loving on Hudson

Trying to get a good picture of all the grandkids is not an easy task!!

We weren’t sure who was going to open their present first, I don’t exactly remembered how it went down, but Brody got to open his first because he was the only person not asking to open it first (that or he was the only one that obeyed when we told them to sit down and wait)  either way he was really proud.  Mamoo asked who that person was and he raised his hand and said ‘Me’!!

As the tradition goes they all got matching pj’s and robes!  This year we had to sew our own since we couldn’t find any pj’s (that didn’t cost an arm and a leg) for 7 kids ranging from 6 years old to 6 months old!

Loving the faces Brodes! 

 

While we had a snack the shoes got filled! 

The kids were so excited to see what was in their shoes!
