I don't think my Mom could have more surprised... the picture says it all!
Emily, Zach and Connor flew in from NY. Clint and his family came from California. We had 13 people in our house for a few days! Every time Mom would call on the phone we had to pretend we where at our designated places on Earth. It got pretty crazy. I didn't realize how much of our day-to day- lives our Mom is involved in until we had to keep it from her!
We had the best time planning the party and loved that she had NO idea! Dad scored big points by pulling this off!
Love you Mom! Hope you had a great birthday!

Mom's Suprise Birthday Party
Sold!
Papers are signed and it is official.... we have sold our house!
The best part is - we love the family we sold it to. And since we are staying in the neighborhood- that's big!
We have even found a great rental just a block away. Everything is falling into place.

Another Day, Another Party.
The only way I can get people to come to my house for a party is to promise that Chris will cook something amazing.
Claire
18 months! She loves to talk... A LOT! Her favorite treats and almonds, bananas, cheese sticks and Chris' cookies. Claire has a special talent for emptying drawers in nothing flat. She loves to draw, jump on the tramp, be outside with the big kids and her baby. I love this little girl!

Cheese!
Claire is eighteen months and a total cheese ball.
She is very busy! She has started to climb anything and everything. She loves to brush her teeth and she talks-a lot!
And she loves it when Chris squirts whipped cream into her mouth!
Valentine 09'
I asked Ryan if the girls chased him because he is cute. He said "Yes, but I sometimes go on the girls team because they need someone to protect them!" He makes me happy!

12
The party was a lot of fun.
The girls went on a Bigger or Better scavenger hunt. (When my brother did this once he came back with a pair of skis.)
I sent each team out with a bar of soap and they went to five homes and traded the items that they got at the previous home for something bigger or better.
I about fell over laughing when one team came home with an AB Lounge and a Chocolate Fondue set. (Just for the record: that blows skis out of the water!)
I can't believe that 4 girls hauled that huge thing about five blocks!
Each girl got a pedicure. It was so funny to listen to their conversations as they soaked their feet in the water.
Happy Birthday Haley Jane! We love you!
Room redo
And best of all, she had no idea. I got crafty and did a few little things. (I hope your sitting down...) I sewed a little bird that is perched above her window. My HomeEc teacher will faint when she hears this.

I know a girl...
My adorable and incredibly creative sister has started a small blog showing a little of her work. (it's called Two Sisters- Ink, but at this point I am just here for moral support! )

Lego Table
For Christmas Ryan got a Lego table to help organize his Lego addiction. And may I just say that it is pretty fantastic.
We have had a few people request a table of their own. So if you are interested, let me know and I will contact you when we get a price put together.

A mess looking for a place to happen...
Claire is now 15 months and she is into everything. She got a hold of the powdered sugar the other day. Her favorite thing to do is empty as many drawers as she can before I can clean up the major catastrophe she has created before her drawer purging.
