Park Day Fun

 Lucas and I took the littles for a park day.......

 While these four kids received the gift of a day pass at the Great Wolf Lodge indoor waterpark.

It was fun to watch the littles play and I enjoyed spending time with my oldest son Lucas.

Happy Birthday Alex!

 We celebrated Alex's birthday with a delicious ice cream dessert.

 Mom, Maria, Lucas and Alex went to a local burger shop for lunch.

 They enjoyed lunch together.

Alex received some fun food gifts and few small toys but his big gift is tickets to see Harry Connick.

I am truly blessed

 Here are all of the AWESOME flowers in my garden-my children

 Olivia quilled this card for me. It is amazing. The detail is fabulous.

 

 Isn't this adorable? From Lucas' manly hand print to Bella's petite sweet fingers. Olivia made the bunting sign in my favorite color green.

 The girls love detail. The table setting was fresh and lovely.

 My youngest child Bella. What a sweetie. I was tickling her.

 Olivia made a SUPERB Mocha Ice Box cake compliments of Ina Garten recipes.

 Maria cross-stitched this beautiful Tuscany scene for me. The picture does not do it justice, it's now behind glass. It took her four and a half months of every night (and sometimes day) work. Julia knitted me a glasses holder for my purse. Alex and the littles made two wind socks, a painted rock caterpillar and some candle holders out of tin cans. I love home made goodeness especially from the kids. I am very blessed indeed. Happy Mother's Day to all mothers

 

 

Have you seen the Little Piggies?

 We got four little pigs about two weeks ago, and the little kids were so happy! Bella has been into the movie Babe and so she has claimed one of the pigs as Babe.

After taking quite a ride in the car, they enjoyed finding a fresh, new place to call home.

 Unfortunately ( for them) we plan on fattening them up for meat. But until then we watch as they grow and care for them.

A Little post for Little people.

Spring has come to Michigan at long last! Everyone here has been enjoying the weather immensely, especially the little kids. I thought I would share some recent photos of them enjoying God's beautiful creation.

 The Little's  found these Star Wars costumes that Mom made for us older kids in the rummage of the attic.Now they enjoy playing and imaging themselves as Jedi Knights.

We all enjoy watching the Little's play and  make memories with each other. Thank you Lord for little siblings! 

Cleaning Out the Attic.

 With spring upon us we decided to start some spring cleaning in the attic. We kids( over the years) have collected quite an amount of play clothes. We all went shuffling through the bags of clothes and enjoyed bringing back memories of past days of playing.

 Mom made these STAR WARS costumes for us kids, and it was nice to see that they still fit.

Bella and Tony joined in and found play clothes from when Lucas and Maria were little.
