Easter and actually one of all 5 of them togather

birthday party

We celebrated 2 birthdays this month.  Jace who turned 1 (wow how time has flown) and Austin who turned 4.......

We are alive

These days life with 5 kids, two of them being infants........its crazy........but I'm about to upload a picture overload of what has been going on over the last months since ChiAnne came home from the NICU..........She came home after 22 days.....And has everyone wrapped around her little pinky...Joshua cracks me up.......He will be playing and she will start crying, he comes running........"momma, ChiAnne is crying" yes Joshua momma can hear her.........He tries to comfort her and pick her up.....he loves holding her if she is quiet but forget it if she starts crying........Jace is still not walking but I seriously do not expect him to.....He was a 6 wk preemie, he shouldn't be walking plus he is the baby of the family, sort of speak.......His brothers and sister carry him.........I figure he will be a late walker like Austin was...........Joshua is a handful......He got suspended from school for 2 days, could have actually been 3 but his principal didn't want him missing the end of the year field trip so he is allowing him to come back after 2..........the cause of the suspension was him throwing rocks.........apparently this is not the first time but this time some little boy got hurt who was an innocent bystander and ended up having to have stitches in his head.......I agree with the statement that the punishment fits the crime.........Joshua was very upset that it had happened and was actually crying when I got there, not because he was in trouble but because the little boy got hurt.......he says "I told him I was sorry, I didn't mean to do it".......Turns out he wasn't the only one throwing rocks and the other little boy got in trouble as well......Austin.........Austin is going to be the death of me one day, I swear........My darling son who just turned 4 yrs old decided he was going to drive........I had to take Alyssa to the dr one morning and I had taken Austin with us because I had an appt for him to enroll him in school.....But I had gotten done early and Darling Alyssa had forgotten her books so back to the house we went..........I shut off the suburban, took the keys out of the ignition and threw on the passenger seat.........Ran in the house.......Austin and Alyssa both getting out with me.........I didn't think anything of it........I had to take ChiAnne with me for some reason, anyways I come outside to put ChiAnne in the suburban and its at the end of the driveway.........I busted his butt, told him he can't drive til he is 30 and went to get the suburban.......Kent yelled at me and said why did you park out there........I didn't park out there silly, Austin moved it...........Holy cow........He knew how to start the burban, knew that he had to apply the brake to shift the shifter in reverse and then he managed some how by the grace of God to apply the brake, put it back in park, shut it off and throw the keys back in the seat..........and come back in the house as if nothing happened.......Alyssa is Alyssa.........
