Happy St. Patricks Day!

As this day quickly approached I told Carson I want to make simple holidays something special for the kids, so they will always remember that holdiay's family tradition. I think that is just what we did today! (Beside the fact that the shirts I ordered for them never came in and they had to wear last years shirts!)

Yesterday I made special "St. Patricks" day pillow cases for them so while they were sleeping the Lepricohns could sprinkle happiness and good luck on them! They thought this was very cool and then when they woke up they had a little green package waiting for them!

Doesn't the Princess look so cute?!

My cute boys dressed in green ready to go find someone to pinch (they were headed over to see if they could pinch Aunt Molly and Papa)!

I was frosting cupcakes and I turned my back for one second and this is what I turned back around too, Olivia eating like a dog!

Frosting anyone?!

Our menu for the day:

Breakfast: Green Eggs and Sausage

Lunch: Green Sauce Pasta

Dinner: Chicken Broccli Rice with Broccli on the side

Treat: Green Cupcakes

Marcus

Marcus is 8 years old! He is just about ending his 2nd grade year. He has done so well growing and learning new things this past year. Marcus is also a Boy Scout, we have been working so hard at passing off all of his awards so he can recieve his "Wolf" badage. I love his go get'em personality, it helps him to excel in school and strive to be the best he can at sports. He is enjoying all sports, at this time his lovesare baseball and basketball. Marcus is a great kid, loving life to its fullest! We are so proud of our Marco man!

Alec

Our Alec Mason is 6 years old and going into 1st grade. It is hard for me to think of him being old and big enough to be in school all day! Alec is a great, tender hearted kid who has not eased up on his stubbornness at all! We love him dearly and are so grateful for the light he brings into our home. He is still loving Super Heros, but at this time he is enjoying spending lots of time on his bike, scooter, or running around the neighborhood. Some of his favorite past time activities are: climbing up trees, standing on his head, doing round offs, playing the Wii, trying to take his big brother down! He is great with his little siblings and he is either getting along great with his big brother or is finding anyway to fight with him! He loves to give Payton kisses and hugs and to watch him do things for the 1st time. His favorite sport to play is soccer, but is willing to do what ever sport that people are playing at that time. He is such a special person in our little family, we love him dearly!

Olivia

Princess Olivia is 4! She has been going to Preschool this past year and loves it. For the most part where ever Olivia goes there is sunshine, she is such a happy, talkative, outgoing little girl. She talks a lot, but to her defense it is because she has a lot to say! Olivia is quite the Princess who loves to dance, play with babies, wear makeup, and play with friends. She loves to dance around the house and in her dancing class, she is quite the natural. She loves to hang out with her big brothers and loves to be a little mother to her baby brother. We love our little Sunshine girl!
