Happy Birthday to Mike, Me, and Aly

Hailey decided to decorate her face with a permanent marker!  Yes, permanent.  This was right before church, so I did my best to get it off but she looked quite pink that day.  She said she was pinkalicious!

Love how hard Ben is concentrating with his tongue out.

We had a fun birthday partay at my parent's house.  I have always loved sharing my birthday with my sister Aly.  It means that I always have someone else to sing to!  We had great food including my Mormor's flutekake, which is the best cake ever!  We played great games that everyone had so much fun with!  These pictures are of the egg transfer game.
On Mike's birthday, the 22nd, we had a fabulous date!  We were able to go to Bon Jovi! I suprised Mike with tickets I had bought months ago.  It was such a fun night!  We went to macaroni grill before hand and then met my sister Aly and her friend at the concert.  It was such an amazing concert!  What a great way to celebrate our birthdays!

Gateway Kid's Museum on St. Patrick's Day

The Gateway Kid's Museum had a free day on St. Patrick's Day.  I thought it would be insane to go, but Nicole and I decided to try it out and just leave if it was too crazy.  My mom was great and met us there and helped us with our combined 5 kiddos.  It turned out to be so much fun!  It wasn't any more crowded than any other day and it was a great way to celebrate St. Patricks! 

We also had leprechauns visit us 3 times on St. Patricks!  When Ben and Hailey poured their milk in their bowls in the morning with their cereal, the milk turned green.  Then a leprechaun set up a treasure hunt around our house that ended at a box of green cereal (apple jacks) and golden chocolate coins for Ben and Hailey.  Then at dinner their pink juice magically turned green again.  Ben and Hailey searched all over our whole house trying to find the sneaky leprechauns.  At the beginning of the day I hadn't planned to do anything for St. Patricks Day, but it turned out to be so much fun!

We also went downtown later and went to a Blaze game.  My kids love the Blaze (indoor football)!  Eliza just yelled the whole time and raised her hands when there were touchdowns.

Bounce House

We went with my sister-in-law and her kids, my mom and my sister to Jump 'n Bounce.  I'm not sure what Ben's doing in this picture, but they had so much fun!

Hailey flying down the big slide.  This slide was one of Eliza's favorites too.  Although it was a challenge to get her up the slide, she loved sliding!

Argggh! Pirate Island Pizza Fun

Eliza and her cousin Jaxson loved dancing!

I love my pirates!  My kids love playing and eating at pirate island.  We didn't get pictures of everyone, but we met Mike's parents and one of his sisters and her twoboys and his brother and his children.

If you look closely at this picture you see that Eliza is very carefully stepping over the crack in the cement.  We were hanging out outside of Pirate Island and she was walking around.  But, every time she came to a crack she would stop and look down like she was crossing the grand canyon, it was so cute!

Big Girl!
