Easter 2013

Easter this year was interesting. Kenny had to work, so I was pretty bummed. I was determined to make it a fun day with the kids. The Easter Bunny helped. He brought each of the kids a Kindle Fire. They loved them! Later in the day, Kenny went to work, and the kids and I went to my parents for dinner. Even thought Kenny wasn't there, we still had a great day. Pat and Renee had fun playing with CeCe, Ruby, and Auntie K and Uncle John. We had a delicious dinner, and the kids did great on their Easter Egg Hunt.

Patrick Turns Five

On 3/14/13 my Patrick turned 5. He is a wonderful child. He is so happy, sunny, and a good friend to everyone. He loves to learn. He is always interested in Science, and loves trying to add and subtract. Patrick is a great friend and big brother to Renee. He wants to make sure she is taken care of. Of course they do have their little battles, but they are best friends. I am truly blessed to be in his life.

This year Patrick was lucky enough to have two birthday parties. Because his birthday is in March, it is impossible to predict whether or not we can go outside, so we invited Patrick's class to Teamworks in Somerset. The kids had a great time! There was plenty of games for them to play, and lots of room to run and jump.

Later in the week we had Patrick's family party at my parent's house. Pat requested a fishing birthday party. He loves to fish, and can't wait for summer to go with his Dad. We had ons of decorations, and I even made a bait bucket cake. The kids had a lot of fun even though it was a bit chilly. Pat says so far being five is pretty great!
