St. Patrick's Day

This little man was one of the gifts Shawn got me when he proposed 8 years ago - on St. Patrick's Day. ( a watch, flowers, and my piano were also given!)...each held the little leprechaun this year and said something we were thankful for...

Getting ready to eat our yummy cake...along with drinking our green milk...

Dr. Seuss

Happy 106th Birthday, Dr. Seuss. (...March 2nd), so we had a party....I wrapped up 3 of their very own Dr. Seuss books (they are in "storage" so they haven't seen them for awhile) for them to open and read later in the evening. After a very loud version of "Happy Birthday" (Morgan included!) we dived right in to eat our 'Cat in the Hat' Pizza...

3rd Party Down

Invitations...

Landon Reese is now 4 years old...
A Batman party it turned out to be...we had 'Batman in Blankets' and 'Poison Ivy' punch...
Shawn had shirts made for all the little kiddos at the party...


Wanted for birthday: A motorcycle, a man, a dog, and a horse.
He received all of the above except the motorcycle (which he had bought for himself but I guess it wasn't right!) and a dog. After opening the horse, he said, "Where's the motorcycle and dog?" Crazy kid! He always asked for all those things in a particular order! Gotta love kids!

Recipe for Success

After hours (well, minutes. Felt longer.) of peeling, cutting and preparing apples, the boys and I were finally able to enjoy my Grandma Cessna's Applesauce Recipe.....Ethan said, "This tastes better than the kind you buy at the store." Right on, boy, right on!
