 both the boys had pink eye this week :(

ps. calebs rash on his face is another issue :(

good news: after 24 hours of drops the boys were clear!

reminder

I think we all have days where we complain about our home, the laundry that needs to be done, there isn't enough room for our belongings, it needs to be cleaned, etc. the list is endless and I am so guilty for these thoughts!!! I came across these images yesterday while reading a post about life/poverty in Ecuador.

a family of 9 lives here. only 3 beds.

i needed this reminder today..

How dare I grumble!

Julia turns 3!!!!

Saturday we were able to celebrate Julia's 3rd birthday party with her and all our friends! It was a barn yard party! The decorations were amazing, the games were so fun, the food delicious, the list is endless! Our whole family was worn out we had such a great time! :)

Thanks Erin for letting us be a part of Julia's birthday!

Julias mom, Erin made this cake. beautiful!

and julia's grandfather made this barn! and the farm animals beside it!

Kids had to match the balloons to their "homes". Pink (pigs) had to go in the mud, yellow (ducks) had to go in water. and green (cows) into the pasture! awesome game!

who can find a dollar in one of these balloons? COHEN :)

 

Birthday Girl :)

Happy Birthday Julia! Praise God for another wonderful year!

bye bye sissy!

a few weeks ago we had to say goodbye to aunt amy and baby lena as they headed off to florida to get her husband then back to guam :(

we miss you guys already! sad to think the next time we will see them cohen will be like 5, caleb and lena will be 3 and the new baby will be here. LOVE YOU AMY! MISS YOU SISSY.

a 1st....

oh no she didnt!

yes i did! baby caleb had his first haircut this evening! yeah yeah go ahead and judge me for cutting my babys hair so early. HOWEVER, the back of his head had so much random hair! i love love love a clean cut hair style. you can't even tell a difference in caleb, many of you may be thinking "he doesn't even have much hair" but he did! zach actually cut calebs hair, it was a sight to watch, no pictures were taken b/c i was holding caleb as zach cut then i was holding cohen as zach cut cohens hair.... here are the pieces from cohens first "home haircut by daddy"

my hairdresser friend that i blogged about here is so busy these days we had to take measures into our own hands by purchasing a WAHL clipper and the guards. I think its a necessity in a home with boys!

can't blame a girl for loving a clean cut group of boys!

Got Milk?

This is the amount of milk that my family consumes in three/four days.

This is 5 gallons. There is no doubt that my husband and boys are so strong because of the amount of milk they drink.

I think we need to buy a cow.
