Easter 2010

For someone who wanted nothing to do with egg painting, he certainly got into it quickly.

It's very weird that only three of the kids will paint eggs now.



Erin and Brooke waiting impatiently for the boys so they could come down and find eggs.
The hunt is on! The bunny hid eggs everywhere!


On the way to Nana and Papa's house.










The annual crazy Rich egg hunt, good food and spending the day with everyone. Always so much fun. I love my family:) I'm so lucky to have them and my kids are so lucky to have so many cousins.

Brookie turns 4!

My baby turned 4. This is it our real last baby. It makes me really happy but a part of me knows that someday I will miss these crazy busy days. So, amongst all the chaos I am trying to take in all the awesome moments and store them in my brain.

Brooke woke up to a birthday surprise. Kelsey and Bre stayed up late and decorated the kitchen with streamers and ballons. Some of the balloons even had little Dora undies on them. (Brooke didn't think that was too funny but she is loving them now). She oddly asked for new underwear a few times for her birthday gift. She's a little odd sometimes. haha! Her expression was priceless when she came downstairs. Sort of like when Santa comes. Even I was surprised. Kelsey and Bre just did it all while we were all asleep.





We didn't have a party like I had planned on throwing but we did have a cake and she got to go to Toysrus and pick out whatever she wanted. She picked the "Swim To me Puppy". Of course Erin got one too. How can you not buy them both something? Brendan even scored a new wrestling guy. He swears he doesn't like them anymore but yet he still will buy one any chance he gets.

We had so much fun but, as usual we didn't have enough time. Always fun and always crazy when I'm with my sisters!Can't wait for next year!

It's Square Dancing Time!

Me, Erin and Brooke went to a Square Dance in town. We actually had a lot of fun. We Dosidoed and I even spotted Earl there trying to pick up the ladies!
Erin and Alex
Brooke was drunk!

Arggggghhhhhh!

Brooke made a pirate hat at Storytime. Here she is trying to make the "Argghh" face.

Mawkman

I never played team sports but I guess getting a mohawk is a rite of passage. He actually looks really cute with it.

My Brookie

This kid is nuts. I went to Toysrus to return an crappy Christmas gift and they would not take it back, with a reciept I might add. Anyway, I'm leaving all irritated and mumbling stuff under my breathe while I buckle her into her carseat. Then she says "Mom, that store sucks". Omg, who is this kid?

New Years. Bye Bye 2009!

Fun night at the Lyle's!
Me and Billy, before I hit rock bottom...
Rockband was the hit of the night!
Uncle Derek and Reese. (check out Reese's expression, she is her Momma's daughter!)
Billy. First night ever that he stayed sober and I was the drunken fool!haha!
Hillary, cute as can be.
Auntie Jeannie, looking beautiful as usual.
The kids rocking out to Rockband. I think they may have some real talent! I bet everyone who does well on it thinks so...

Brookie added the harmonica to the group.

(I think Auntie Jeannie was a back up dancer)
I'm really looking forward to what 2010 has to bring. Please let it all be good stuff. I can't handle anything else!
