Kyla's 4.5 birthday party

 some of the party kids

 Kyla is Rapunzel

Claire was a fairy

my little mess makers

 Good thing I had lots of nicely rolled scratch paper

Claire gets into the cereal and carries it around the house.  I put it up higher and the bigger kids get it for her. That and she will empty my purse faster than anything. She loves makeup bags.

Claire had a birthday shout hurray!

but all my pictures turned out dark so I'll have to lighten them but not now.

 Kyla got a new princess bed...

 and new dressers

 my sis came down and we made bows for our girls

the only pic that I dont have to redo the lighting.  I told you, awful.

Longest Easter Post

 you can kind of see in the backround how the field was full of eggs and suprises.  It was a eagle scout fundraiser outside our back yard and since we had to deal with all the noise they let us come for free.  My kids loved it.

My Valentines

 Poor Claire, broke her leg in Jan and had it on three weeks, of course she kicked this cast off and had to get it recasted after a week.

 Bryce may have been more excited by the candy than presents

Ginger Bread Houses

 My favorite picture, just showing what its really like.

 Seth's birthday.  I only took two pictures cause it was HIS birthday.

 One day Bryce finds this necklace, I tell him he can have it cause it's "boyish".  So he heads off to his room, disrobes, finds this turtleneck onsie in the bottom of his drawer, puts it on, puffs out his stomach, and states "I cute".  He was so proud.  At least he was holding his pop gun the whole time.

 Kyla demanded to be photographed with "hop hop" she no longer sleeps with this since she gave it to Claire.  (On a side note, Kyla gave me her baby panda and Seth her monkey stuffed animal.  She becomes distressed when she enters our room and we arnt snuggling them or they aren't laying on my made bed.  She will also tuck these animals into our arms when she thinks we are sleeping.  She probably is the mother in her mind) Im sure the pink bunny, Alfrit, would have been chosen first but he was put in the "boogle box" and wont be out till Kyla does an extra chore.

 Love how they look so loving toward Claire

 Finally all three staring at the camera

 We focused on maximum candy usage since we are giving it away to candy lovers.

 Bryce and Kyla made their own
