Sneaky Leprechauns

We made leprechaun traps again this year, this time though, Ammon and Shayla made their own, ALL by themselves. Which they were extremely proud of, and why shouldn't they be? They're super awesome! Ammon put some gold coins in the bottom of his box to lure the sneaky green guy in, but to no avail. We still didn't catch him this year. He left some golden candy with a trail out the back door, and colored their cereal milk green. What a little trickster! He did give me some motivation though for April Fool's day this year. Playing tricks is so much fun..especially on Josh, he's so hilarious!!

Ooohh so long ago

So I was just thinking...Josh and I will celebrate our 13th wedding anniversary on Monday! Is that crazy or what? How did that happen? Are we still considered young marrieds, or have we crossed over into the "old timers" category?! Our kids are young, so I think that it makes us young..ha!

This picture is from days so long ago, probably around 1999 or so I think. Back when we were cheesy enough to still pose together instead of folding laundry or mowing the lawn or changing a diaper. Ahh how times have changed...can I just say I love my life right now? My husband and kids are out of this world great, happy, and healthy, and we are all together every single night. Grumblings of tiny houses, cramped bedrooms, and limited spending are greatly outweighed by the fabulously wonderful blessings of my life. Thank you Josh! I love you!

help please...

So I hear a little, "Help please Mommy", and go in the kitchen to find Liam with all the ju ju fish on the ground, and really not so desperate for help, actually trying to eat the evidence. Since it wasn't something super messy like it usually is, I decided to snap a photo. Hey, I'd do the same thing if I was in his spot, for chocolate.

Now who couldn't love this face? Notice the fresh scratches on his forehead, that was from "bouncing" in the driveway. He also has a scabbed lip from crashing on the gym floor, a bruise on his chin from nosediving off the chair at Round Table Pizza, and a bite on his left cheek from a nursery attack. He's one tough cookie!

all together!

I finally was able to get a picture of them all together, and no one is crying! Yay!!!
