St. Patrick's Day

I love holidays and really try to make each holiday a special memory for my kids. This year for St. Patrick's day, we started the day off with green pancakes. For lunch, I made shamrock quesadillas and green applesause. For dinner, we had green eggs and ham with green kool-aid and to top off the night, we had pistachio pie for dessert. I painted shamrocks on the kids' cheeks too. They loved that and wanted me to paint one on Rylan's cheek. I didn't think that would be the best idea. We had a great day!

Bowling!

A few weeks ago, my Mom came to visit. Joe had class on Friday night and so my Mom, my kids, and I went bowling. This was my kids' first attempt at bowling and they had a blast. We'll have to do it again someday. (Notice the picture of Alexa's reaction after she let go of the ball a little too late and the ball came crashing down rather loudly.)

New Pictures of my cute little Rylan

The other day, I took Rylan to JCPenney to get his 9 month pictures taken. (He'll actually be 10 months on the 21st of March, but having four kids has kind of set me behind on everything.) He always smiles really easily at home, but of course when I set him down in the portrait studio, he was as serious as could be. I did get him to smile for one, but they were all cute anyway.
