Are you Smarter Than a 5th Grader

Brylei was chosen as one of the 5th grade academic helpers for the Jefferson county's production of Are You Smarter Than a Jefferson County 5th grader. It was last Friday and she had so much fun. When her group was chosen to help one of the contestants, they got their answer right. I forgot to change settings on my camera so the picture has weird coloring! She was sooo funny when she new the answer she was practically jumping out of her seat trying to get the contestants to pick her for help!

Happy St Patricks day 2012

For dessert we had Chocolate mint cheesecake brownies!

For dinner we made Chicken and spinach pizza. I was worried the kids wouldn't like it but it was a huge hit. My 4 year old especially loved it! We also had green jello parfait, a yummy salad and chocolate mint shakes! We had such a fun day. St Pattys has always been one of my favorite holidays, kinda strange!

My 6 little Leprechauns.Love their cheezy smiles!

We must have had some Leprechauns come visit us last night. When we woke up we found some strange things. Pictures were hung upside down, furniture was tipped on it's side and our milk was turned green. We had green waffles, green milk and green yogurt for breakfast. Then we cleaned up after the Leprechauns and headed to the park to take some fun green pictures!

Declans Owee

We were rushing out the door Sunday to make it to church on,time when I somehow caught Declans finger in the door. We rushed back in the house and cleaned it out and super glued it together. Poor little guy was in pain so I gave him some Tylenol and we headed out the door again. I told him we would come home if it hurt to bad. We made it through all of church. I was feeling so bad about it that I wanted to cry. It is healing so much nicer than I thought it would. He is such a tough little cookie!

Create

When I get tired of my couches and want new ones, I recover the pillows on them instead. This time I went kinda crazy bold. I am loving them, they really brighten up the front room!

I just have to brag for a second. My wonderful husband is so creative, he went through his metal scraps in the garage and made me this table for the entryway.We broke up slate tiles for the shelves. I am so happy with it. I asked him why he decided to make it, he said he just wanted to do something nice for me! I am so blessed with such an amazing person in my life!

Snow Fun,Basketball and Etiquette

Raz and Treagan were mezmerized by the snowfall they sat in the window and watched it for at least 20 min. I think they wanted to go out and play.

Brylei (in the pink shorts)played basketball again this year and really loved it. She finally got the hang of how it's supposed to be played. Last year she struggled but this year she was a real star on her team!

Sorry Chris I think we are going to have to put up a basketball hoop!

Bryhton went to an etiquette dinner at church here he is in a strange pose. He is such a goofball!

They had to dress up nice and Bryhton even did his hair in a frohawk. Now at dinner he tries to teach his siblings great etiquette!

We havent gotten alot of snow this year so when we did the kids were out playing in it! One night Chris and I came home late and there was a snowman in the yard the kids had made in the dark!

Love these guys so much they are so full of energy!
