MY LUCKY LEPRECHAUN!






This is him doing his Leprechaun dance, I wish I had a video because it was very entertaining to watch, especially since he usually doesn't dance!




HAPPY ST. PADDY'S DAY! So I found out this year that yes I am married to a Leprechaun! So Shawn loves St. Patricks day and has always wanted to dress up as a Leprechaun. So this year he fulfilled one of his life long dreams! He started growing a beard back in October and started telling the kids that he was growing it so that he could be a Leprechaun on St. Patricks day. Well once he started telling them that there was no way he could get out of it. He may have said at times that he didn't want to but he totally did. He went out and got me everything I needed to make his Leprechaun outfit. It got brought up at his work so there then turned out to be a costume contest and yes of course he won, how could of he not he looked just like a Leprechaun! Just a few feet to tall! Remie got so excited and started telling her teacher that her dad was going to dress up and come to school with her. So he went over to the school and went into her class and my nephew Crews class. The kids all loved it and Remie was so excited! He also went into her old kindergarten class and the teacher had the kids ask him some questions. One question was "Aren't you to big to be a leprechaun?" His response was, "Have you seen the movie elf? I am one of those!" Classic! It cracked me up! He then went to dance with Remie and went into all the dance classes. Then went and visted our other nephew Steele who I think was totally scared of him! He had a great time being a leprechaun and Rem and Ryks loved it! I love watching him with our kids they love there lucky leprechaun so much and are so lucky to have him! He will definatly have to start growing a beard every October now I don't think the kids will let him get away with not! It started out as only his favorite holidays but I think now that it is a family favorite! Love you LUCKY LEPRECHAUN!

My Boy is growing way to fast!

I cannot believe he is growing so fast! This week he decided he was going to roll over and start to eat cereal. I can not believe he is 20 weeks! Why can't they stay in that little baby stage for longer. It makes me sad but I love each new stage they come to! He is such a happy boy and makes everyone in our house smile. He loves his big sisters if they walk in the room he follows them and when they look at him he gets a huge grin on his face. I think he looks forward to when Remie gets home from school because as soon as she walks in she picks him up and bounces him. If he is upset it calms him right down. Ryklee tries to do everything her sister does with him to help, gotta love it but sometimes it is a little to helpful! He loves her though. I am so glad I got a little boy. He is so much fun and I am hoping a little less dramatic than his sisters, we will see! He just needs to slow down, how do I pause time?






He was smiling until I would pick up the camera to take a picture then he turned very serious!

A little late but Merry Christmas and Happy New Years!

We had a great Christmas this year! Kids make Christmas so fun! I love watching there faces as they walk into the room and see the lights on the tree glowing and the presents under it! I thought this year that we would definatly be having to deal with the kids waking up at 3 in the morning but no at 7 Shawn was so ansy and could not wait any longer and he had to wake them up. My favorite part of Christmas morning was we got up there and the kids wanted to read there letters from Santa very first and then they was very concerned about me and Shawn opening the presents that they made for us before they opened theirs. It made me so happy I love my little kiddos! Remie made me a blanket this year(with the help of her amazing Grandma)that I absolutey love! Best Christmas present I could have received. Then the kids made Shawn an apron with there hand prints on it. He loves to cook and loves his new apron! Mom, Dad and Brennan came down and watched the kids open their presents and then we went up to their house and had breakfast and just enjoyed being there with them! We are so grateful for all the family we have around us! We hope everyone had a great Christmas and I hope this next year can be a great year for everyone!




Razdyn wondering what the heck it is that Santa brought him and not quite sure what is going on! I love this little boy! His little face just makes me smile!


The girls opened up their helment in the house and thought that they was helmets for their bikes we had to tell them they might want to look outside cause we thought those helmets might be for something a little bigger than their bikes! I am not sure what they thought about their go-cart but after going out and riding it they love it!



Mom and Dad gave the kids books that was personlized with their names as the main character and then some of their cousins names were through out it. Mom also made all of the grandkids matching pajama pants. These was 2 of Remies favorite Christmas present. All the kids looked so cute in there pj's!

1st grade Christmas Program





I could not have been a prouder Mom this day! Watching Remie in her 1st grade Christmas Program was so fun! She was so cute and loved singing all of the Christmas songs! She had to do all of the actions just perfect with the songs! It brought tears to my ears and made me giggle all at the same time.
