Happy Birthday Ryan!

So this post is just a little late!  Like about 2 months late.  Happy Birthday to the most amazing father and husband!!

And for my chocolate loving husband he got a 3 layer chocolate, chocolate chip cake with chocolate frosting!  

Today

Yes today, not 3 months ago.  I think I was feeling nostalgic today after doing Kaylee's birthday post and feeling like I rarely just post the kids currently being kids anymore.
After Nathan's nap we went out front for some good old throwing bread to the birds.  The girls used to love this and from lack of time never have done this much with the boys.  Nolan asked about it a few weeks ago so I have been saving him some bread crust ends.  This afternoon seemed like the perfect time!  Then we went for a walk and had some good play out front time before dinner.  Kaylee had her special day with my mom today so that is why she was not around.

Nathan thought it was more fun to eat his bread!!

I got him to through a few pieces.  :)

Bike ride/walk

Nathan is loving the Cozy Coup right now!  I spend lots of time walking him back and forth out front!

Meanwhile Kaylee was having some fun cousin time on her special day with Memaw!

Happy 11th Birthday Kaylee!!

Wow, can't believe this girl is 11!  Well, she was on January 26.  I could cry, I think she was 3 when I started this blog!  So many fun memories on this blog and I am so thankful I have them all right here.  Looking back I realize I used to journal so much more and I remembered all the little things the girls did and said.  Sadly I am not as good at that anymore with the boys, life is just busier, but I am thankful to at least have the pictures!  Kaylee is at the age where she likes to now look back at this blog.  I know in time the other kids will too.  So fun that she can now enjoy this and it makes it worth it for all the years that I have been putting in to this!

So back to Kaylee.  She is growing into an amazing girl and I am so proud of her.  She is such a good help to me and to her siblings, I am truly blessed with that!  She loves her gymnastics class and learning to play the piano and violin.  She loves hanging out with her friends and any kind of social activity.  She is good about getting her school work done and is a good example to others.  Thank you God for Kaylee and the blessing of her!

Still have the birthday sign and balloons!  And you better believe we always will!

Requested breakfast of pancakes and sausage, egg, and cheese breakfast casserole.  

"11"

Love her new flexi!

We took the day off of school and went to Cracker Jax and then to lunch.

Such a fun family day!

In the evening we had her family party

I made her a lemon lime cake with pineapple curd.  This was the best cake ever!  Seriously I want it for my birthday! 

The next evening we had her bowling party with friends!
