Finally some pictures!!

At the babies birthday party with my great friend Patience.  She organized a super awesome scavenger hunt that the kids loved.

Me and my baby girl.  Not such a baby anymore

Kynan:  “Yes.  It is difficult being devastatingly handsome.”

“But don’t you worry.  I’m easy on the eyes.”

Isn’t she beautiful!

Melts my heart!

My babies are 1!

My older babies!

The big cake!

Kynan’s cake.

Kaci’s cake.

Bubbie wasn’t terribly interested in the presents—but he loved the wrapping paper and boxes.

Kaci was pretty enamored with the bows.

Blowing out the candles.  I didn’t plan it, but most everyone wore red!  Go stAte!

Time to dig in!

Kaci kind of liked it.

Kynan—not so much.

So I kind of forced the situation.

Okay—Kaci really liked it.

Kynan really didn’t.

It took quite some time for him to forgive me.

Nope.  Not yet.

It was a great day.  Beautiful outside and though the babies were a little cranky, (I absentmindedly scheduled the party for their naptime) it was a lot of fun.

These are my “other'” kids.

L-R Back:  Charlie, John, Devin, Brandon, Justin, Kayla.

L-R Front:  Donald, Delaney, Sharnea.

The other day I was leaving a staff meeting.  I opened the door and HOWL was standing right outside!  I of course screamed in terror because you don’t expect to open a door and find a 6 1/2 foot red wolf standing there.  Then I got my picture taken with him!
