A very happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to all the Mom's out there doing it right. The most important job in the world to the child in your care is how they are parented. You are the make or break in someone's life...do the very best you can.

Mothering boys is not for the faint of heart...or those afraid of gray hair and heart attacks. I love these crazy guys of mine.
Bitty baby Xan.

Jericho...he didn't stay small long.

I am so proud of these two little gentlemen, I am so excited to watch them grow every day.

Motherhood is truly the most amazing journey. I love the person my children have helped me become. My girls and I...we have all grown so much.

These little ladies are beautiful inside and out. They impress me daily with their kind hearts and witty sense of humor. 

Washington child seat law is booster until 8. The triplets will be 8 in 2 months. I weighed them today just to see where they are. Xan is 63 lbs, Hayden is 68 lbs and Lily Bug is 58 lbs. Dang they have come a long way from their 3 1/2 lb start.

The kids made me some special gifts.

My crew...they make my world go round!

My dear friend Dina and her kiddos spent the day on the farm with us. The baby rabbits were a big hit.

Of course the horses were a bigger hit LOL.

I think a nice friendship was started today.

Ended the day with some S'mores...what a perfect day!

Don't try and hump me when I'm busy playing.

Such a great bunch of kids...always the best times when we all get together.

Big hugs goodbye...until next time.

Secret BFF handshake.

We took a two hour drive to let Lily go to her BFF's birthday party. Kalaya and Lily were so happy to see each other again. It is so sad we live so far from each other...they would love to see each other more than 3 or 4 times a year. The girls made the most of their time together today though!

Their secret best friend handshake...so cute!

The other kiddos had fun at the party too...so did Kitsune.

Princess processions.

Kitsune was such a good girl today. All the kids, balloons, bikes, toys, screaming and playing....she took it all in stride. She even became center of attention towards the end when the kids figured out what a great toy retriever she is LOL.

Jericho and Kitsune, they are best buds...

For all her crazy Dutchie-ness, she sure is a great family dog! I love this breed so much.

Bank stop. Hayden got her own savings account today. She was so excited. She says she is saving up for an Easy Bake Oven, the girls have wanted one for two years now LOL.

Funny Xander story today...
We stopped at Taco Bell to order a small late dinner. Jason orders chips and cheese, 1 for the boys to share and 1 for the girls to share. 
Xander says "What we have share, rubbish!" 
The car erupted in laughter....and 2 more chips and cheese dishes were ordered LOL.

This is one lucky bird. Fire season is pretty much over, we haven't even looked at the wood stove in weeks. I don't know what caught my eye and made me double take but this little guy is lucky I did. I think it is a Swift.

I thought he was going to be hard to grab, but he just stood there and let me pick him up. The kids really wanted to keep him, but thanks to watching the Wild Kratts a bazillion times I convinced them he wasn't meant to be a pet.

Hayden begged to hold him. After a minute or two she let him go. He flew off and is now living free and in the wild LOL.
