Happy 1st birthday A & D!

We celebrated A & D's first birthday on May 12 and we had such a FUN day! We had about 20 kids and it was perfect! The kids had a blast in the bounce house and played on the swing set. The HIT of the party was the Kona Ice snow cone truck! SO.MUCH.FUN. I can't wait to hire them again!

Cookies made by yours truly...

 The favors were little buckets with a cookie, bubbles and the girls got a flower hair pin; the boys got a shell necklace.

 The gift pile was so cute- two of almost every package. I didn't get a really good picture of it, but it was pretty cute!

 The BEST snow cones!

 Smash cake time! Delaney LOVED the carrot cake that Grammie made!

 Audrey was a little more cautious.

 Mox & Marlene were so sweet and brought Tyler a gift so he didn't feel left out. It was this huge trash truck and it was a hit!

 After everyone left, we opened all of the gifts. SOOO many clothes :-)

 sweet girls!

 The Kaufman Five

Such a great day with family & friends. These two little girls are truly loved and boy, it showed! They both were so great the entire party. They went down for a nap towards the end of the party- perfect timing. Such happy babies and they are SO.GOOD! Gosh, what did I do to deserve three perfectly good babies?!?!

Happy birthday to my sweet little girls!

We're alive!!

Wow! I haven't been on here in forever, it seems! We've been busy living life and I've been running around trying to keep up with my three littles as they run circles around me. Seriously!

Here's a short update on what we're up to...

• Tyler is THREE! How on Earth did this happen?
• A&D are ONE. Really? Wow
• Tyler is enrolled to start preschool in the fall. He's going to St. John's in Orange. The same school he's been going to on Friday mornings for Mom's Morning Off. He'll be going two days a week and I know he's going to love it!
• A&D are both walking. They both still crawl if they want to get somewhere fast, but walking is their main mode of transportation.
• Sam is LOVING his new job! I mean LOVE! It's such a great fit for him, he's learning a ton, and working with two great friends. I'm so happy for him. I'm not gonna lie, the extra money is niiiiiice! ;-)
• We're talking about moving, but the earliest we'll do that will be end of summer. I can't wait!
• Tyler is still obsessed with trash trucks and really, anything trash related. He's rekindled his obsession with lawnmowers since we hired gardeners to take care of the front yard. Between the trash truck & gardeners, Tues & Thurs mornings are so exciting around here!
• Virgie still comes over on Mon & Wed to help out & play with the kiddos. Such a sweet lady. We love her to pieces!
• I signed Tyler up for a 5 week karate class and we made it to the first one. He cried the entire time and didn't want ANYTHING to do with it. Poor thing hated it. The instructors were a little too intimidating for me, let alone a three year old kid. Needless to say, we withdrew from that one!

Just a few pictures of the kiddos recently...

Hanging out with Daddy out front

 Every Sunday morning, Tyler looks through the ads in the newspaper to find the lawnmowers. So funny!

 Wagon ride

 Playing in the dirt with Noah & Ethan

 Stealing snacks from each other happens a lot!

 LOVE this picture

 Baseball obsession! He sat for about 20 minutes watching this game on TV.

 Happy 3rd birthday sweet Isabel!
