The baby is 13!

Well, it's official.  They are all growing up.

Storm organized a little surprise for Blade when he came upstairs.

And of course, what's better than a 13th birthday than a 13th birthday Cinnzeo breakfast..

After school and opening presents, we headed out to his favourite birthday place to eat.

Yes, Hunter is smiling.  It just doesn't look like it! 

Mom's baby already so grown up!! I don't like it.  Not at all. Thankfully he's agreed to never act his age or move out!

Almost Birthday Time

As we creep closer to the last baby's 13th birthday..

Me: Aw, Blade, it's your last couple days of being 12.  You'll be a teen soon! *sad face*

Blade: Don't worry Mom, I won't act like it.

No fear of this one wanting to grow up at least!

Three Years!

It's hard to believe it's been three years to the day that we stood outside our new home and took this picture.

There was snow in the front yard.  Kids were building tunnels through the massive drifts.  And a beige bland house full of challenges awaited us.  

We've came a long way baby! 

And this summer shall see the continuation of the outside progressing into the beautiful butterfly I know it can be.  Deck. Trees. Privacy. Oh my!
