Our Circus...sort of.

We went to the Shrine Circus and well, we call it our circus!  We are the Schreiner's!  The kids talked about it all week leading up to going.  They were beyond excited.  It was a typical three ring circus and there was so much going on it was hard to watch it all.  From acrobats, tigers, dogs, elephants, bikes, motorcycles and a human cannon ball...there was a lot to see.  Not to mention the cotton candy the kids devoured!



 This was the cutest thing.  The little elephant marched around behind the clown.  We couldn't decide how it was working.  At first we thought it was remote control...but no.  It was a little dog in an elephant costume. 










Family Pictures

While my whole family was here for the kids birthday we had some family pictures taken.  They are so good, as always Chera did a great job!


Grammy, Pappy and the grandkids
 Denise, Jeff and the kids-I love how natural this is!
 US!  If only you could see all of Tim's head!
 Glade.  Addison was being a stinker and we didn't get one of her by herself.
 The whole family
 Mom and Dad
 What is that face Glade?
 Sisters
 The guys...think they are enjoying themselves?

 I think this is my favorite one.

Birthday Party...Again!

Today was our family party! Glade and Addison have partied enough to know that party means presents and that is all they wanted today!  When we called them in to eat...they sat in their chairs for presents!  I think they both shouted Hallelujah when the it was finally time!


 She got a big mirror for the playroom, so she can dance and make faces in it!
 Glade got his Ohio State chair.  He asked to put his in his room just like Dylan and Drew.
 Cake time!




My sister was playing with the camera and got some cute pictures.

It's our 4th Birthday!!!

Today is the official day!  Our 4th birthday!  Today was also  wacky wednesday so to preschool we went! I just can't believe my babies are 4 already.  I had a rough night last night.  It seems strange that this birthday has made me so sad. I don't want to make this a teary eyed post, but I think I am struggling with this one because I know that we may not have any more children and my kids are growing up way too fast!
Enough of that...
A little birthday photo shoot!

 We are....


After wacky wednesday I took the kids to a yummy cupcake place here in town and they each got to pick their free birthday cupcake!
Then we went to On the Border for dinner.  They said the whole time they wanted them to sing to them for their birthday.  So the time came and what did our kids do???

They hid under the table!  Yep, they did. 
Then we all enjoyed the huge brownie sundae!
(I have pictures, they are just on the other camera and it is in the car.)

I am going to post about each child a little later...

Birthday Playdate

This year I decided to host a playdate for Glade and Addison's birthday.  We had never had any kind of "kid" party so I thought this would be a great one to start with.  The kids all came over and had a blast playing outside and in the playroom.  It was a good time for the mommies to relax and enjoy some adult time too!
I just can't believe how grown up they are getting!
 Playing football...and yes I spray painted the yard as a football field and we built a goal post!
 She loves the swing!
 They were so excited about the presents.  They didn't know they would get presents from their friends!  I wish you could have seen them...Addison was jumping up and down in this picture she was so excited!
 The cheerleaders showing their stuff!
 Eating lunch...pizza and cookie cake

It was so funny, they got so shy when their friends sang happy birthday to them!

Fun with Friends

On Monday our friend Kinsley came over to play while her mommy went to the dentist.  They had such a good time.  They jumped on the trampoline for little bit, but it was really chilly so they spend more time in the bounce house upstairs.
 They watched Strawberry Shortcake.
 And played dressup! 
 Aren't they the cutest little princesses ever?   I might have gotten scolded for allowing Glade to dress up like this...but it was all his choice and how could I tell him no?
