Jackson's Birthday

It is hard to believe that he can be 6 years old! Some of the other things I just realized it that he is my March Madness baby.  This past week Jackson has had a big week for his birthday.  A couple of days before his birthday his class at school had Kite day.  Then we celebrated his birthday with his grandma and had cake.  For his birthday he got tennis shoes and cars.

It was kind of neat for his birthday cake we wrote down touchdown because he is six and that is how many points a touchdown is worth.

Blessings and Baptism

March 6 and 7 was a wonderful weekend for our family.  My oldest Son was baptized a member of The church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and my twin babies were blessed.  It was great because my family came from West Virginia to join in this celebration. It has been a struggle to get this to all come together due to the weather.  The babies were born in October and my son turned 8 in January, which is when we were going to do everthing since my parents wanted to be there for both. Because of the weather we had to cancel it twice. My husband said it we keep delaying, " I am going to be walking them (babies)up to be blessed."

I can't believe that my oldest is 8 years old.  We are very proud that he made the decision to be baptized.

Here he is with his proud dad.

Here are the babies in there blessing outfits.

Movin and a Groovin

As a mother of 3 boys having a girl in the house has been different.  I have never so far had a baby who could move as fast as my little girls does. I can lay her down in the crib for her naps and when she wakes up I never find her in the same place I put her in. To say the least she's fiesty, and she is going to have to be with 3 older brothers.              

                                         This is where we started out under the covers.

This is where we ended up on the other side of the crib.

I am fascinated with this because none of my boys did this until they were much older and yes they are almost 6 months. My daughter has been doing this since Christmas.

Mom's Little Leprechauns

Trey's class had a contest in school to see who could wear the most green for St. Patrick's Day.  He just had to have the green wig, and to get the most use out of it we all had to try it on and share it with all of you. No he did not win the contest. He did get lots of compliments for being daring.

I think the babies look like The Proud Family Baby on Disney.

Unfortunately, we did not find any pots of Gold with these adorable Leprechauns.  Trey said the babies look like Thing1 and Thing2, out of Dr. Seuss's Cat in the Hat.  If you say that about the babies then you have to say that about all of them.

Feeling Connected

I have found as I always do when having children that I get lonely. How I tell, is that whenever I meet an adult, I talk and talk till that person is sick of me and of course I apologize for talking so much. What I have found with the blogging stuff is that I can write and write till I am tired of writing and I get everything I want to say out and I feel like I have been talking on the phone with an old friend.Even if no one reads this I still feel like I have connected with someone even if it's me. Now you are probably wondering with all these children how can I be lonely. I feel and have called myself a social creature. I love to be around people. Not all the time, but when I go long periods of time staying here at the house I get an urge to go out and be around others, and I am never lonely for children companionship, just adults who enjoy talking as much as I do. Now I have had friends and family constantly saying when are you going to update your blog, and I will say soon, but this blogging stuff has taken me years to figure out, literally. I am still trying to figure it out.

Surviving

Well this has been a week where all I get done is crisis cleaning. I can't get through with one thing til another crisis comes up. It feels like all I am doing is trying to survive. From sick children to buying milk. It is one of those where you just hold on tight and make it through the ride. Of course when you have mommy brain it is also hard to remember everything too.
