Happy New Year!

Happy New Year and Happy Birthday to our precious little Two Year Old Duke!  Time is flying!  I failed with the NaBloPoMo, but that is the way life is right now.  Not a lot of time to concentrate on anything but the four kiddos and I would not have it any other way!

Daddy was able to stop by at the end of the party!  Thank goodness - I am not sure how I would have gotten everyone and everything back into the van without him!

Happy 5th Birthday, my little Knight!

Happy 5th Birthday to my precious little Knight!

5 years ago today, we headed to the hospital to welcome you to our family.  What a joyous day it was!  You were so tiny and sweet - weighing in at 6 pounds 13 ounces - exactly 3 pounds less than your big brother.  But you were 3 weeks early and he was one week late.  You were prefect!

I cannot imagine my life without you! You bring an energy to our family like nothing I have ever seen.  You might be smaller than your big brother and big sister, but you don't back down to anyone.  If you see an injustice, you fight to see it corrected.

Right before you turned 4 years old, you became a big brother.  While the Duke gets under your skin on a daily basis, you really do love him and are the first to tell me if he needs something.  You loved to hold him when he was an itty bitty baby.

This year YOU get to start doing some big kid things!  I signed you up for soccer this Spring, and (I am not sure how this is possible) you get to start Kindergarten in the fall.  Wow!

My heart overflows when I think how much I love you.  I cannnot wait for you to wake up this morning and left the fun begin!  We are having a little party for you at Chuck E. Cheese!  Your best little friend will be there along with some of your bigger friends. 

Happy Birthday, Sweetheart!  Mommy loves you more than you will ever know.

Mama Zen tagged me for this fun and quirky meme!

6 Quirky Things About Me:

1) I discovered that I actually like running this year! Future goals: 10K, 1/2 Marathon, and Marathon (when my youngest is in school).

2) Today is my birthday!! I actually still like celebrating my birthday. It is a fun day and the kids get so excited! Bring on the cake and candles!

3) My favorite shows to Tivo are Survivor, Criminal Minds, A Baby Story, and American Idol. Kind of a strange combination.

4) I enjoy colder weather better than warmer weather. Fall - here we come!

5) I am a picture-aholic! I take at least one picture every day. Usually I take pictures of my kids and cats.

6) I get to go out to lunch today and still need to shower because I actually made it to the gym this morning! Later-gaters!

Now, I tag....
