Mother's Day

My mom had been down for a couple of days before Mother's day... so we ended up spending the day with Ryan's mom and sister! We grilled out.... then sat outside and watched the kids play! I'm so lucky to be a mom to these 5 great kids! They each have their own unique personality! They all look like either Ryan or myself... with the exception of Briggs... he's kind of a combo. He looks mostly like Ryan... but has my family's nose and mouth. It only took until kid #5 for our genes to figure out how to combine! LOL!!! Being a mom is a challenge... not just taking care of their basic needs, but getting them everywhere they are supposed to be!!! It never fails... everything is always on the same day and time! It might be a crazy life.... but we love it! most days ;)

Avery's bday

Avery's bday..Avery opted for a bigger gift and no bday party! She wanted an ipod
touch! She had some bday party and we kicked in the rest! I will have to admit... they are pretty cool and now I'd like one of my own :)

Braelyn's Bday

I can't believe that my baby is 5!!! She was so excited about her bday. She wanted to have a swimming bday party! Poor kid.... it's a month past her bday and we still haven't had her party! Ryan's had a ballgame scheduled every weekend - ( and now two saturdays have been cancelled due to rain, so we could have had her bash!) So, she's still waiting on her big day!!!!

The kids excited to open the presents!

Briggs being ornery and on top on the counter!
