Eve's Birthday Pics

She's a little excited it's her birthday. Just a bit.


Such a happy birthday girl!


Pretty birthday girl


I baked the cupcakes right into the ice cream cones. Then frosted them with pudding frosting and topped with sprinkles. Eve loved them!


Slippers from Victor


Barbie poodles from Mom and Dad


Rapunzel from Dirk


Dirk won a book this summer, he didn't like any of the book choices for himself, so he grabbed a Clifford book to give to Eve for her birthday - What a nice big brother!


She closed her eyes after we sang to her and made a wish before blowing out her candle. So cute!


Princess Squinkies from Grandpa!! The kids had a blast with these today. Syllie especially loves to steal her big sis' toys!


A pink, Barbie Unicorn from Mom and Dad.


Of course she dove her face into the cupcake to get frosting on her nose.


Eve with her birthday balloons.


Sisters


Dirk showing off that the cupcake was baked all the way into his ice cream cone.


Mmmmm....


Eve's trying to kiss her lol


Haha - Love this look


Yes, he's in a sweater and undies. But, hey! He's smiling and looking near the camera. That's gotta count for something, right?


Playing with the Squinkies from Grandpa - Syllie also gave Eve some Squinkies, I thought I uploaded that pic. Oops. The kids love these!


Eve checking out the desserts at Applebee's.


Dad and Daughter :D


Eve's birthday dessert at Applebee's. You should have seen "The Look" we received when Ryan and I tried taking a bite. Then you should have seen the sugar high she had within minutes of eating almost ALL of this herself! She was bouncing around!

Happy Birthday, Sweetie!

Happy Birthday, Eve!

5th Birthday!


Our little princess is 6 years old today!
And yes, she is wearing the same shirt two years in a row. She had to dig thru her drawers until she found her "Cupcake" shirt, I guess it's a good thing I didn't give that one away!

Happy Birthday, Evelyn Marie! There's never a dull moment in our home because of you :D

Happy Birthday, Papa!

Happy Birthday, Dad! We miss you and talk about you so often. Today, I asked the kids what kind of party you were having in Heaven or what you'd be doing today. They said that you were fishing today. I asked who you'd be fishing with, and they said, "Jesus!" They said you'd be teaching Him how to fish :D

So, in the birthday boy's honor...

For Dinner, we had Goldfish shaped bread for sandwiches. I had roast beef, with spinach and some pepperjack cheese, with some popcorn on the side. It was good. The kids got a big kick out of it! They had other meats and cheeses though lol


We also made cupcakes for Papa! The kids loved these, with a fishing theme of course :D




Oops, Eve had to put a note next to hers. She put extra spinach on it so it had a top fin and bottom fin.

Happy Birthday, Victor!

Happy 3rd Birthday, Victor!

Christmas Pics

It was nice to have a Christmas that we were truly able to buy our kids nice presents. We didn't go overboard, but instead of buying toys at the Dollar Store or some other cheapy place we could afford, we were able to buy them presents of quality. And we resisted the urge to buy them everything they wanted or what we wanted to give them hopefully teaching them that they don't get everything they ask for, they get what we and Santa believe they would love to have. I hope it worked :D

Kids Pics

I tried to get a nice picture of the kids...

Eve, get off Dirk's lap...
Dirk, look at the camera and smile...
Victor, you too...
Syllie, stop crying...


Eve, smile...
Dirk, put your tongue back in your mouth...
Syllie, don't bite Victor...
Victor, smile...


Eve, I want a pic of your other cheeks...
Dirk, get your hands off Syllie's butt...
Victor, don't push the baby...
Syllie, turn around..


Dirk, get your hands off your face...
Syllie, stop crying...
Victor, look at the camera...


Eve, stop squishing your face...
Victor, wake up...


Eve, stop crying...
Dirk, turn around...
Syllie, turn around...
Victor, get your hands off Syllie's head...


Eve, stop talking...
Victor, stop pinching Syllie's hand...
Syllie, just punch Victor so he stops pinching your hand...


Syllie, get your finger out of your mouth...
Eh, good enough :D

Presents from Grandpa

Grandpa sent some money for the kids to go on a shopping spree! GG Athman also gave the kids some money, so off to Target and Shopko we went!


I couldn't see Victor's toy, so I told him to turn it around. So he turned around instead lol


Eve with her new Zhu-Zhu pets - this girl LOVES these things. And we found them for 75% off, so she snagged two of them from GG Athman's gift money.
Victor is holding the new deck of cards - the boys and Daddy love to play cards.


Dirk scored some awesome Transformers that were on sale! "Love" doesn't describe how awesome Transformers are to him! These are the bigger transformers and light up. As I type this he is downstairs zooming them around and watching YouTube on how to transform them. The directions aren't cool enough, so he heads online to check them out :D


Here are two more Transformers that Dirk was able to get!


Victor loved this little fish. It's for in the bathtub. You pull the string and the tail flutters. I'm pretty sure this little boy is going to be Daddy's fishing buddy.


Here Victor is saying "YES!" and putting his arm up in victory as he found Red from Cars2 :D


Victor got a new scooter from G for his birthday tomorrow, so we found a Lightning McQueen helmet for him to wear while riding his new scooter. (Yes I know it's on backwards, but you couldn't see his face due to the packaging if I put it on the right way. I'll get more pics in a few days of him wearing it correctly.)


Here's Half-Asleep Victor with Red again. It takes a lot of energy to pick out the best toys!


Eve and her huge package of mini-Princess dolls and clothes.


Miss Syllie and her new sippy cups. She giggled outloud when she saw these! It's the little things that make her happy :D We still have money left, I'll either buy her a cutesie little outfit that Gran would have picked out, or get her a baby doll. But the toys were so picked over for her age, I'll have to go out on a later day to find her goodies. She also got brand new pink forks and spoons so she can eat like a big girl. She giggled at those too!

And Eve with her Squinkies. These are actually really cute and Eve can finally have them since Syllie has stopped eating every little toy inthe house :D

And here's Eve at home with the Squinkies all laid out on the floor. It's a princess set of Squinkies - do you think she would have picked out any thing other than princesses? lol

Eve's Locker

This is Eve by her locker at school :D

Victor-ism

Victor is playing on PBSKids.org and it asks him to find the letter that makes a Buh Buh sound.

I repeated the question to him.

V - What makes a buh buh sound? Buh buh BIG BUTT!

lol

Eve's First Lost Tooth

Eve lost her first tooth on Friday :D

Dirk-ism

During the Children's Message at Church...
Pastor - What do you like about Christmas?
D - raises hand - You get more presents than at your birthday.
Congregation giggles.
Totally Ryan's kid.

Eve-ism

M - Eve, we need to help teach Sylvia how to talk.
E - Why?
M - Bcuz she's old enough to talk. Like, mama, dada, easy words like that.
E - (To Sylvia) Can you say "Poptart"?
