My Lucky Charms

I'm discovering the older kids get, the harder it is to get good pictures of them!  This is best picture I could get of Trevor in his St. Patrick's Day shirt.  Here he's rocking Addison while we get ready to visit daddy at his office.  Addison HATES her carseat!  Trevor is a pretty good little helper!  I'm also discovering (a little late) a good age gap between kids  is 3 years apart.  Trevor is old enough to be around Addison without hurting her and a bonus, he likes to help out! (Although, I'm very thankful to have Ethan - it's just he's like godzilla around Addison!)

Ethan showing off and dancing in his St. Patty's Day gear!

Addison in her 12 month shirt!  

Luck of the Irish!

With all of this red hair, we must be Irish and that means we have to celebrate St. Patrick's Day!  And maybe if we're lucky, we can catch a leprechaun!  Steve and the boys made these cute little leprechaun traps last night and baited them with Lucky Charms.

Well, Trevor baited the traps while Ethan enjoyed the Lucky Charms!

Before they went back in to go to bed they looked around one last time for leprechauns.



This morning, they were eager to find out if we caught anything...

They got a little closer to the traps and didn't find any leprechauns, but they found something better - chocolate!

And evidence that we had visitors.  There were little green footprints!

This got the boys looking again for leprechauns...



Still no leprechauns, so we back inside and found these...rainbow cupcakes!!!

Yum, yum!!!

Lucky boys!  No leprechauns, but lots of good treats!  Maybe we'll catch one next year!

Day 11

A Photo that Makes you Laugh

This is the first picture I thought of.  It's Ethan around 7 months right after a bath.  I'm not sure exactly what he's thinking, but from the look on his face, it's probably something like "Ahh, mom, don't take a picture!! I'm naked!!!"



I found these pictures also when looking for the one of Ethan.  I think they're pretty funny so I had to add them. 

This is Trevor or better known as "Cookie Monster!" 

This picture was taken right after Trevor had a bath (on why he's missing his pants).  It was really warm outside and Trevor had just gotten a new raincoat so we let him go outside and play.  The raincoat covered him when standing...but not when bending down! 



And here's Trevor pumping!

Day 10 

Your Favorite Room in Your House

Okay, this one is going to have to be without a picture because it's our family room, a.k.a 1st playroom and it's always a mess!  :)  I like it because it's where our family hangs out the most.  It's got everything, the TV, toys, my laptop, a fireplace, close to the kitchen, etc.  I only wish we had more windows in this room.  It's bright in the mornings, but dark in the afternoons.

Your Most Treasured Item

Okay, I'm a little behind (again)...here's my most treasured item - my laptop!  I'm on the internet every free chance I get.  I would go crazy if something happened to it (or well, actually, I would be going to Best Buy to buy another one)!  :)

Day 8

A Birthday Celebration

Probably, the most fun birthday that I remember was a suprise party for my 16th birthday.  I can't remember how my parents pulled it off, but it was a complete surprise and so much fun!  I wish I had pictures...

The best birthday present ever (and I don't think any other present could be better than this) was the birth of my first-born, Trevor.  Our bithdays are two days apart.

My coffeepot.  I would not be able to function without my coffee!  I look forward to a cup every morning.
