For the past week I've had this song stuck in my head. It really helps me to remember to stop and enjoy my children when they're little. It's days like today that I need that reminder. Here's the song:
She was starin out the window of their SUV
some things are just meant to happen...

I love this picture of Jayden he has such sweet eyes.
Some places Easter egg hunting is a sport and it takes years of training. We're starting early to ensure we have a top competitor in our home. Here are some steps you can take to train your offspring as well.
#1: Practice. You need to practice before the big day, your backyard works just great. You have to start early! Practice should begin before breakfast to make sure there is motivation to back inside.
If your child whines and insists on food it's okay to throw some crackers in a bag and tell him to get outside.
#2: Basket Holding. This step should be completed before the big day but it's okay to cram right beforehand. Find out which basket holding technique works best for your child. To each his own but remember this could mean the difference between a full or an empty basket.
#5 Strategize: It's important to leave enough time just before the race to get in last minute strategies with your coach. You never know what could happen and it's always best to be prepared.
Results: Jayden got 4 eggs, yep that's right. All of this training and strategizing just doesn't cut it when you have 100 children and not enough eggs. We'll have to look for better grounds next year.
These cars were the top 3 cars amongst the boys. Tim has no doubt that if his car counted in the races he would've won. ;)
Dear Greg,
Happy 19th Birthday! Gosh, my cute brother is getting old! You've always been the peacemaker, easy to get along with, quiet sibling. Everyone thought they were your best friend (we all know that I really was!) Greg I love you and our family wouldn't be the same without you I hope you had a great birthday.
Love ya and see you soon,
Amanda (Tim, Jayden and Darcy)
P.S. ~ Sorry all our pictures of you are lame. ~ Mom, you'll have to email me that cute one of him before his graduation ceremony opening cards. That's one of my favorite pictures of him.
P.P.S. ~ Sorry this post is late.
March has been one busy month for our family. We've had birthdays, parties, anniversaries, guests and some not so happy times. We've been so busy and adjusting to life with 2 children that blogging has taken a back seat. So, I'm catching up - a late post is better than none right?
For Jayden's birthday we had a small party at our house on March 8th. We had playdoh and decorated cupcakes. It was only one hour but we learned that a house of 5 two year olds is 5 too many. At the hour mark every child went into meltdown mode - we knew it was time to end the party. Here are a few of my favorite pictures.
We only have pictures of you opening this one present because it is the only one you would open in front of the camera. You refused to open the rest of the presents at that time. We let you play for a while and a few hours later Dad came upstairs to find that you had opened the rest of your presents! Look at the mess you made!
After we sang Happy Birthday you clapped for us.
