St. Patrick's Day 3/2013

I am proud of my Irish side of the family and my Grandpa Harrington's genes, even if it means I can never get a tan. :)
I have tried making corned beef for St. Patrick's Day, but Jesse is always disappointed that it doesn't taste like pot roast, so the last few years we have made cabbage rolls for our traditional dinner.  They are delicious!

It wouldn't be complete without shamrocks!

We had my Nana over for dinner.  She said my cabbage rolls were beautiful.  Too bad I didn't think to take a picture until they were almost all gone and looking ugly.  :)

Erin go bragh!

Julia's 12th Birthday 3/2013

Julia turned 12 this year!  She is a wonderful girl and is excited to be a Beehive at church!

We had small birthdays for the girls this year, they could either invite over a friend, or a couple of cousins.  Julia chose cousins. 

She really likes lemon bundt cake!

The Beehive class "heart attacked" Julia for her birthday.  What a fun thing to discover!!

I love this girl!!

How can I delete any of these when she's so cute? Happy Birthday Jujube!!

Jessica's 5th Birthday 3/2013

Jessica is 5!!  Time sure flies.  We took our kids to the Jump and Bounce one day and had cake at home another day. 

I can't get action shots with my camera.  :)  They were constantly bouncing.!

She is so adorable!!

Serious wishing going on...

Tea set!!

She requested carrot cake!

Happy Birthday to our little sweet pea!!

V-day 2013

Jessica loves cheesecake!

Our Valentine's Dinner with the kids.  :)

Annie's 10th Birthday 2/2013

I got my older three girls Taylor Swift concert tickets for their birthdays so I told them no big parties.  Annie got to have one friend over for her birthday and she had her friend Lilli over. 

They bought this at the mall.



Annie loves Paris!

She wanted a Marie Callendar's French Silk pie in lieu of a cake.  Easy!

She was sweet to let Asher blow out the candles.  We love our peanut Annie!!

February Instragrams 2/2013

I told Jessica she could have a spoonful of cookie dough-she got about a half a cup on there!  Haha!

Getting her ears pierced for her 10th birthday at Claire's!

Playing the Big Fat Tomato Game at the mall with Lilli. 

Year of the Snake 2/2013

We like to celebrate the Chinese New Year by cleaning the house top to bottom and then getting some Chinese food.  We took the kids to P.F. Changs for the first time.  Did they like it?  I think the pictures speak for themselves!

Chopsticks, no. Fork no. Fingers, yes!

Asher couldn't get his fortune cookie in fast enough!  Happy New Year!

Annie and Asher 1/2013

One of the kids got a hold of my camera and took these...

Too much love?

Asher is sometimes Annie's plaything.  :)

This one is cute!

Homeschool 1/2013

Little Jessica wanted to do school like the older four, so she's started her first "real math" and loves it! 

New Year's Eve! 12/2012

We got together with some awesome friends from our ward.  We feel so lucky they included us!
We started with appetizers at our house, then moved to the Sheneman's for New Year's Eve Minute-to-Win-It, Dancing and Limbo!  Our kids said this was the best New Year's Ever!

Jesse gets competitive!

Alexis and Julia were wrapping paper master balancers.  They could have kept going forever!!  

They outlasted everyone!! 

This is serious!

Balancing candy canes takes a lot of concentration!

There was some stiff competition in this limbo!

Limbo queens!

We ended up at the Beykirch's house for chocolate and caramel fondue.
We missed the countdown, but it was still a blast!! Hello 2013!!
