So much going on...

Warning: Picture overload ahead...


but nothing really going on... I feel so busy with 4 little ones but at the same time like I don't do anything. We are adjusting to life moving along at a snails pace once again. Here's what we've been up to lately:

So I'm no photographer, but this was what we got in a little 5 minute photo shoot with the little dude.



Breckyn had to build a Leprechaun trap for school last week. Girls were up at the crack of dawn to check and see if the trap worked (hence the bed heads). The tricky guy actually took the gold and ran, but not without leaving a note. The girls had mild heart attacks that a leprechaun was actually in our house.



Cooper even had to check it out and take a turn posing with each sis.







Ryder wouldn't have anything to do with such nonsense.



He perked up quite a bit though when Breckyn dressed him up as Wendy. He seems to like cross dressing, much to Kyle's dismay.



Mostly he occupies himself with trying to see Cooper. Where ever I put Coop, Ryder finds a way to him and gently pats his head while saying "aaaaaahhhh, cyooper, cyooper, soft, cyoooooooper.."





The girls helped me make Irish potato candy and green cupcakes while the boys slept. They were a hit.





Even Dad got messy.



Seriously check out these toes.



Today the kids were running around playing in the backyard. Love this. Last year at this time we didn't even have a backyard, the weather here is amazing and 3 of my children are all outside! It's great.





It is spring break this week and next week. I guess I'm weird but I LOVE having all the kids home. Just makes me happy. So far we haven't really done anything too fun and I feel bad about that. Life is kind of a blur right now while I'm sleeping like a newborn. So I made a list today of things we will do for the rest of the break.

1. Take the kids to Alice in Wonderland
2. Go to the park
3. Make chocolate pretzel buttons (in Easter colors of course)

4. Make puppets/ put on a puppet show
5. Line Painting

6. Make jewelry and hair accessories to go with Easter dresses
7. Invite friends over

That should make the rest of break a little more fun... Happy Spring Break!

My cRaZy Life

Life is crazy right now. Having 4 small children is crazy. Pretty sure I have my fill of kiddos. I'm good. Everyday I think the same things over and over and over.

Oh my gosh, he's sooooooo cuuuuute.
Don't touch him!
Leave him alone!
Get off him!
Get your hands out of his mouth!
He's sleeping!
Oooh man. He pooped again.
He's hungry, again?
Wanna watch a kid show?
I'm hungry.
I need a treat.
Oh man, what a mess.
I'm too tired.

Top of the Desert

Yesterday we spent the day in the Springs -that would be Palm, not Colorado or Glenwood.
Kyle and I honeymooned in Telluride and had to take a gondola ride just to get from the room to the town everyday. So we are a wee bit spoiled in that regard. Palm Springs is no Telluride but it was actually pretty nice.


I guess it is the 2nd steepest tram in the world. When we made it to the top it was a whole new world! No more sandy desert with palm trees, but miles of forest with tons of snow.



There was 3 feet of snow at the top and it was a nippy 40 degrees! ;)



We hung out at the restaurant on top and hiked around some of the trails. The kids loved playing in the snow. My favorite was definitely coming down the tram at the part where you feel like your falling. That's the best. :)



It was fun, but the next time I am at the top of this mountain I want to have climbed up it, not ridden.
