1.My birthday was last Sunday. As we were dishing up cake, Ben said, "The birthday girl gets cake first!"
"You're not a birthday girl," said Missy, "you're a birthday woman!"
2. While the kids were trying to pick which piece of cake they would like to get, Sunny piped up, "You get what you get, and you don't throw a fit!" Just a few minutes later, she started pouting because she didn't get the piece she wanted. When we reminded her what she had said, she said, "I was just kidding!"
3. This morning, Sunny was holding her bottom. "Do you need to go potty?" I asked.
"No," she answered.
"Are you afraid your bottom will fall off?" I continued.
"Yes!" she replied, giggling.

Kandy's Canoe Birthday Party
For her birthday party this year, Kandy invited some friends to come canoe on the Jordan River. They pulled out of the river near our house and walked over for cake and presents. It was lots of fun!

Crazy Valentine's Weekend
We had a wild and fun weekend! On Friday, Kandy was going straight home with a friend for a sleepover, and Missy and Sunny had assessments for the gifted program. It was right in the middle of Missy's short day. Between that and not having Kandy to walk home from the bus with, we decided she would just miss school. My mom watched the boys in the morning while we went to the assessment. In the afternoon, my friend had volunteered to take all the kids for a massive playdate. I stayed home with Abel and made Missy's birthday cake. (Her birthday was last week, but her friend has the same birthday. Her mom and I decided that she could have her party last week, and Missy would have hers on the 13th.)
So I cooked and cleaned. We had arranged with another friend to watch the kids Friday evening so we could have our Valentine date. Ben was on his way home from work when the car totally stalled in the middle of an intersection! Abel was asleep, and the cake was about to come out of the oven. I called a wonderful neighbor and asked if she could help by either getting Ben or staying with the baby and the cake. She went and helped Ben. He got home a little later than planned! About 6:00, I dashed off to pick up the kids from one friend's house and drop them off at the other! I stayed there while Ben prepared a few things for our date.
When I came home, Ben handed me a clue. He had placed clues throughout the house. Each one had a reason he loved me and a riddle to solve about where to find the next clue. It was lots of fun! After the treasure hunt, we had a wonderful home date. We ate grilled steak and played games. It was wonderful to eat steak without listening to the kids complain about whatever I made them! I actually got to taste and savor my dinner. It was fabulous!
On Saturday, we spent the morning in preparation for Missy's birthday party. At 1:00, her friends arrived. We had handed out the invitations rather late, so only 3 guests came. That was fine with me! Including my 3 girls, that made 6. The boys cooperated by sleeping through the whole thing! That evening, we swapped babysitting by watching the 4 kids of my friend who had watched the kids Friday afternoon for their Valentine date.
Sunday was pretty quiet and normal. We went to Church in the morning and my parents house in the evening.
Monday afternoon, we swapped babysitting again, watching the 2 kids of our friends who watched our children on Friday night. With the rain and extra kids, it was a crazy afternoon. I was feeling cooped up, so I was happy when I remembered that we had fun plans for the evening! We went to a surprise birthday party in honor of one our friends who turned 30.
Today the kids have still been out of school. Thanks to the glorious weather, they have spent most of the day outside. Missy and Kandy have been riding bikes with our neighbor. She is 11 1/2, so she's a fantastic responsible playmate to have around!

Birthday Memories
I'm a little pensive today. Some of it has to do with the fact that it is Missy's birthday. She is 6 years old! Every time one of my kids has a birthday, I naturally think of the day they entered this world. Missy was born in the morning. We went to the hospital at 2am. Ben had to leave shortly after her birth because they had just been attacked by a computer virus at work, and he had to try and clean up the mess. Missy was named after my very talkative grandmother, Gani. We made her come to the hospital before we would tell her the name, and when she heard it, she just opened and closed her mouth a few times before she could even speak.Gani with Missy
My grandmother passed away when Missy was about 11 months old. I'm glad she lived long enough to witness her namesake since I had always planned on naming my second daughter after her. So I think of my Gani today, too.Missy, moments after her arrival.

Fun weekend and a little old news.
We are thrilled that Buster is already discovering books.We had a good weekend overall. Saturday the kids had a Primary bike parade, and I had some real estate showings. We also had a chance to play a fun new game this weekend called Ticket to Ride. I can't wait to play it again!
Sunny ready for the parade!
Kandy, Ben, Sunny, and Missy in the parade. Sunny couldn't keep up on her trike and ditched it after just a couple minutes.Last night was rough, though. Everyone woke us up except the baby! Potty breaks, general need for comfort and the like. Buster slept great until 7am. If only we hadn't had the interruptions at 2, 3:30, and 5, we might have had a decent sleep. Thank goodness, though, that this is not the norm for our children as I know it is for some.
I also wanted to include a few pictures from last week. Sunny celebrated her 3rd birthday last week on Father's Day.
