UPDATE: Charlotte (midwife) told me that she would feel better if I went ahead to the ER to have a chest x-ray.  :( So I will be able to rule out the worst tonight.
Today we had a little bit of an adventure that I didn’t see coming. I had just gotten with the kids in […]

She’s pretty serious about it too! We went to Red Robin to celebrate Aidan’s birthday last night and had the waiters sing happy birthday to Guenna and Cait too. Cait was VERY impressed with her very own birthday sundae! She screamed when daddy took it away from her to assist her. She’s just so stinkin’ […]

That is how I feel right now. So far behind and totally unmotivated to catch up. No, I’m not depressed, just pregnant, nursing, and raising four small children.
I have tons of dishes to do, I have laundry all over my bed that needs to be folded and put away, my chickens are […]

My baby is 5 years old today. Those five years have flown by, and yet somehow I feel like I’ve been his mother all my life, I can’t imagine life without my children. He is steadily growing up. He wants to be a man so badly (which I think is a good […]

Hey I have a question. Does anyone know where they sell crocs look alikes (besides Walmart)? We are having a birthday party for the kids tomorrow and nana Joan was thinking about trying to get some for the big kids, Cait already has some. I know where you can get the crocs but they are […]

Aren’t they just cute?! They are so cooperative! :)

Mommy - “Oh Guenna, mommy needs to get you a pony tail holder, your hair is wild today!”
Aidan - Sounding just a bit defensive, said matter-of-factly, “That’s just part of being a lady.”
I took this picture right after our little interlude, I wanted you all to see what exactly Aidan thought was “just part of […]

Cait is growing up so fast. She waves at everybody now. She waves continuously while we walk through the store, at everyone she sees. When I’m changing her diaper she is waving at me the whole time, but this wave says a bit more than, “hi mom,” it’s more like, “I DON’T LIKE THIS MOM!!!”
Tonight […]

From this…

To this…

In just two years! Two years ago today I was reveling in the joy of the birth of my first born daughter. She was a little princess from day one and such a joy. There have been so many precious moments with this little girl these past two years. (And if I wasn’t […]

Dinosaur Kings from Chris and Jenni on Vimeo.
Seriously goofy boys who also love to play dress up with Guenna, they are the kings and she is the queen. I think they really like having sisters, it makes make believe that much more real :)

The Queen! from Chris and Jenni on Vimeo.
Guenna is not a princess anymore, she is “le Queen!” And a cute and very busy one at that :)

Cait’s obstacle coarse from Chris and Jenni on Vimeo.
This was our little experiment with Cait. The boys and I built a tower and we wanted to see what she would do with it, would she knock it down, take off the pieces one by one? Babies are so fun and they all have such different […]

Mommy - “Aidan do you notice anything different about me?”
Aidan - “You are really pretty.”
Mommy - “Thank you Aidan, but do you notice anything different about my hair?”
Aidan - “The light is shining on your hair and making it shine, and you are really pretty, you are always really pretty mommy.” I think he was […]
