Malachi's Birthday





Our Malachi is four! He is the most funny little boy! he crackes me up DAILY! Here are some of the more funny things he has said, most of these I just copied and pasted from my status updates on face book. enjoy!
While jumping on the trampoline with all his might every so often he gets a really good jump and says "WOW! I'm like a ROCKETSHIP or something!" Then later in the shower "Mom, my skin is turning brown, and my fingernails are turning white!" (he is getting VERY tan) then I hear him talking to him...self "Ya (very proud tone) I change colors!"
love this kid!
While looking for his shoes and I knew where they were (and he and Ty have been playing this game lately where they are "secret agents"- great way to get a 4 year old to do stuff) and when I gave him his shoes he asks me "How did you (always) know that?!" then he says "Oh, I know! your a Secret Agent!" ...and I said "I am?" and he said "and you have super powers!"
At night while begging for cereal for 20 minutes... He comes upstairs leans back against the wall for support, then with what seemed a great amount of effort (for he seemed in iminent danger of fainting) he opened his eyes to a slit and said "I'm losing energy"
Ty and I are sitting watching TV and I am explaining the lame story line (that he missed) and Malachi (who is sitting on my lap) keeps singing the opening line to Twinkle Twinkle Little Star over and over and he suddenly says "Man, I have that song stuck in my head! Man! I can't remember the words!" He then allowed mom only to sing the words to him! I just adore this little guy!
I told Malachi I was going to go to bed and he said "No, it's not BED time!" I told him that it was after bed time and that I was going to bed and he said "NO!! That's the wrong decision!" - Who needs cable?!
on our way to church when Candra told Malachi his hair looked nice {she was doing this to tease him, he HATES us doing his hair} and he said "No it DOESN'T!! It's RIDICULOUS!!!"
Malachi saw that VW BUG commercial, ya, so now he just kind of randomly will {fake} punch Ty and I while exclaiming some color- I think he may have misunderstood the meaning... on the other hand, maybe not! ;)
Right now Malachi has a favorite catch phrase. I think he got the idea from a game he plays, but whenever he thinks that he or I did something espically cool, or that something cool is going to happen he exclaims "BO-nus" and then when he REALLY likes something he exclai...ms "BOnus points!" - the best part? This happens at least 2-3 times a day! Cracks me up!
Malachi was riding around on one of those little push around toys with wheels, and he tiped it over- typical boy- and he looks up at me, all surprised and says "Whoa! I didn't see THAT comming!"





Hey, do you like the cake I made? It was better in my imagination, but not too shabby in real life? BTW Malachi asked for Orange- it's his favorite color!

no wonder he was being so grumpy....



Dance Festival

The girls school had it's own little dance festival! Brittney's class did a May Pole dance which was very cool, Candra's class did a High School Musical dance that was very cute & fun!











Malachi had fun running around on the back feild ;)

































Sweet Boy

Do you see this crazy hair? No, it doesn't just look like this because he is sleeping and has "bed head" or something.
His hair is like this ALL THE TIME. We try to get it to lay flat and it does, until it dries! However if we spike it, it pretty much stays.


Everywhere I go people notice it, and I do mean EVERYWHERE! I think it adds personality, it's cute!

School Carnival














































Our cousins invited us to their school carnival! It was a blast! Thanks Amy!

Family Fitness Fair

More of May! A local school had a "family fitness fair" all kinds of fun activities- it was SO COLD! But you know kids, "I won't be cold!" If you ask me those teachers who did the dunking booth deserve medals!






























Look! Malachi got him! He LoVeD that!

Ethan's Birthday!


I can't believe my Baby is One! We kept his birthday pretty low-key. We invited some family for cake and ice cream. Our nick-name for Ethan is Ethan-bug, it just fits him, it always has. So, for his birthday I found an inch-worm cake how-to on Betty Crocker, but I decided a catepillar would be better- turned out pretty good for a first timer! Ethan was just trying to figure out what was going on the whole time- I think he was a little over whelmed. It was fun though. Sure love my little Mother's Day present!













Grammy and the kid'lins!







At the end of April my Mom came up for Pat's graduation! I know, I know- I should have taken pictures, but we were running late, I couldn't remember where I put my camera, and theres no way I could have carried one more thing anyway!
