Yesterday would not be one of those days that I would entitle, “I was a really good mom today” day. Well, at least part of the day wasn’t. Breakfast was finished (I had made my kids Mickey Mouse waffles, Aidan had been asking for them for several days), it was a cloudy morning and I […]

Sitting at the table this morning during breakfast Guenna decided to let us all know what she thought of some of us.  She said…
“Daddy’s a man…mommy’s a monster…Guenna’s a princess!” (first two phrases spoken with somewhat of a contemplative thought, and the last spoken with a cheery confidence :)
Then, as usual, Aidan felt the need […]

Before I forget I just have to write down the cutest thing Eamon said yesterday. The kids were looking at the big calendar I have on the wall, I have a bunch of little pictures signifiing events we will be attending and the kids were admiring the stick figures and talking about which ones were […]

Aidan was doing his “best” to smile, sometimes it  just doesn’t come out quite right ;)  I posted a bunch of their Easter pictures because I thought it was hilarious how many pictures we took, and how few of them turned out with all smiles!

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 […]

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 […]

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 :)

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 […]

Aidan - “Mommy, you are beautiful.”
Me - “Thanks Aidan.”
Aidan - “Yeah, but you’re not too beautiful. Because if you were too beautiful, you would be bad.”
Okay? Where did he get that idea? I’m not sure but, thanks for your vote of confidence son :)

It’s hard being the fourth child, I totally feel her pain. But boy, is that a cute face or what?!
Speaking of cute faces, Guenna gave daddy a run for his money today. In a nutshell - She wanted more of something a breakfast, so she threw her banana on the floor. Well Chris wasn’t going […]

Last night we, Aidan and I, spent the evening in the Urgent Care. Aidan was running to help mom set the table and slipped and fell and hit his cheek on the piano bench leg and split his cheek open. From the pictures it’s hard to tell because some of his owie was sealed up […]

Boys to each other - “You’re Mr. Funny Pants!” Ha Ha Ha ha ha ha!!!Over and over and over again.
Then they told us, the boys at church say that. I guess that is better than somethings they could pick up from other boys :)
Have you ever wondered how boys or girls for that matter, […]

Aidan - “Daddy, can we put on those costumes?” Mind you, they had just removed ALL of the costumes and girls dresses from their hangers in their closet and the discipline had been, applied.
Daddy - “No, you’re not going to be able to put on those costumes.”
Aidan - “Um, daddy, can you go ask mommy, […]

“I really love Oliver. I love him when he’s not nice, and when he’s happy to me and when he’s sad to me. And I’m really happy to get to spend time with him. ” - Aidan, this morning at breakfast. We came home for a couple days and are heading back to tomorrow […]
