Mommy can I get an iphone?

I have no idea where peanut gets her phone obsession, I hate the phone with a passion and am not very good with technology in general.  She can see someone with an iphone a mile away and slowly gravitate toward them to see what they're doing.  She can navigate a phone like nobody's business and often calls people in my phonebook (I bet they hear some funny messages).  Of course when you're using mommy's your phone you must have on a million bracelets, your pocketbook and your sidekick - baby.

Let them eat cake

Kev's birthday was on wednesday and the kids were super excited about it, any reason for them to eat cake is exciting!  Since he had to work we got to work at home making him a cake and it is work with the three helpers I have.  O is usually in charge of getting the ingredients out of the pantry for me, he grabbed a huge bad of sugar, put it up over his head and tipped it over, needless to say we were not off to a very good start.    It took a little longer than normal but we did manage to pull it off...

hope it was a good wish

we did some serious damage

I got Kev a new wedding band for his birthday, he lost his original one the first year we were married.  He swears its at my moms house somewhere, she is a packrat and saves everything so I highly doubt it's there.  Anyway we'll see how long this one lasts...

We love you daddy!

We need a bigger bed!

Binney

I don't get too many decent photos of Binney, she is not too cooperative when the camera comes out.  She wanted to show off her new haircut so was willing to let me take her picture.

Don't I look so pretty?

Those were the first words out of Peanut's mouth when she woke was released from her nap on friday.  Naps are almost a thing of the past, there's almost always more damage done than sleeping these days.  I asked her what was in her hair and she says "either soap or bubbles",  guess she forgot what she got into that day.  I often wonder if it's even worth it to put them in for quiet time, good thing we were headed to the pool so she could wash out her hair.

Still here??

I have not dropped off the face of the earth, just been super busy lately (no way).  O has spent the last week at Vacation Bible School, he had a great time.  We have had two birthday parties, gone to Sea World and the Mckenna Children's Museum and spent time with some of our friends from out of town.  I have not had my camera with me lately because bringing four kids places is a job in itself without worrying about a camera too.  Things should slow down this week, as slow as it can get with four little ones.

Daddy's girl

Sweet pea is back to loving Daddy again (even if only for small doses) but usually she is fine with him.  There was a time when she would have nothing to do with him, I'm glad she's over that.  He even got her to take a bottle on sunday when I had to take O to a party at Chuck e cheese and we didn't get back in time for her next meal.  It was her first real bottle (still mama's milk) she's ever had and she devoured the whole thing, maybe now we can use some of the gallons of milk I have stored in the freezer.
