Evan's Birthday

Playing with molding sticks while waiting for dinner at Fireside Pies, Evan's birthday dinner request.

Brownie sundae shared with his little brother...we even had a candle.

Evan had soccer camp all afternoon and his big birthday request was to stay at the Embassy Suites down the street from our house, so here are the boys in front of the fountain.

Opening gifts...an iPod touch from us, Star Wars Encyclopedia from Grandma and Papa. He has wanted a touch for SO long and all his friends have them(frightening, I know). We got it for free with American Express Points, so we finally gave in. He was very excited!

He also wanted a hamster, but had to settle for a card with a singing hamster....nothing else that poops is allowed in my house till I am no longer in charge of peoples' bodily functions.

Need I say more...

My Crazy Corgi

This is Payton's typical post dinner, evening relaxation spot! You noitce how far the chairs are moved away from the table and still he finds a way!

The Birthday Monsters....

have been here tonight! Six years ago tonight, Jon and I were watching March Madness, when Evan FINALLY decided it was time to start working his way out. I can hardly believe my little tiny baby...okay he has rarely been tiny...is almost 6!

Happy Leprechaun Day!

My very tasty corned beef and cabbage....I feel I should get extra wife/mom points for cooking after a minor household disaster;). The horseradish crust made the corned beef extra delicious.

Crazy day here...I should have videotaped it for further hysterical review. I walked by the boys bathroom this morning and heard running water. It seemed to be from the toilet, I checked and was concerned that it seemed to be rushing. I bent down to turn off the water to the toilet and the attachement from the toilet to the wall broke away and a geyser of water started spraying.

I could not get the water turned off..we have to turn it off in the front of the house in the yard..because it was turned so tight. I ran down the street in boxers, a tshirt and bare feet to get a plumber at a neighbors house to help me shut it off. Seriously, I felt like I was on hidden camera.

All is mended and cleaned up. Have I mentioned it's spring break...

Evan's Birthday Party

Luke and his crew. The little girl on his right is Keira, his friend Joshs' sister. They will be in Kinder together. The other 2 little girls are sisters of his friends and they will be the year after Luke.

Evan and his friend Ben had their birthdays together at an indoor soccer place on Sunday. It was SO much fun and really one of the best parties we have ever had. My girlfriend and I did snacks and each boy had a cake. It was so low key and just 25 smelly, sweaty boys playing soccer for 2 hours. The boys had so much fun!

I'm Here!

Since my babies were little, I always thought I would have more time once they got older....it seems that other things seem to spill into my "extra time". We have had lots of practices, school functions, baby showers, birthdays, games, etc, etc. I do think about posting for the few people who check this, but something always seems to outweigh the task...like sleeping;)!

Trying to be a bit better...so at least Grandma and Papa can keep up with the life and times of the Hutcheson boys!
