CARDINAL OPENING DAY
Of course, you know my priorities, I took a day off of work to go enjoy the home opener. Since, I have to pay for daycare anyway, I sent all the boys there and MY wonderful mother picked them up about 5pm. It worked out great because she only had to watch them for 2.5 hours. She is so helpful, she does everything and anything for all of her children. We had a great time and the weather was beautiful. I got a little sun burnt. Since the kids weren’t going, I still wanted them to show their Cardinal Spirit so I dressed them all up in their cardinal outfits. Dan and Chris were wearing Matt and Mike’s old Jersey because they never got one of their own. Poor kids always wearing hand-me downs. They better get used to it now because that is how it is going to be for a long time, well maybe, Chris is so big he might catch up with Matt and Mike. I took him to the dr. on Saturday because he was pulling at his ears and had a low-grade fever. He weighed 20lb 15oz. Wow what a big baby. Another week or two, he will have to be moved into the big boy car seat.

He is always happy to get a picture taken, what is Michael doing?

EASTERHoly Saturday Kelly D. helped me take Matthew and Michael to the Easter egg hunt at White Birch Park in Hazelwood. They are still in the smallest group, so they were able to get a lot of eggs. They really didn’t feel like picking many up, they wanted to open each one and get the candy out right away. Janie watch Dan and Chris while Matt and Mike hunted for eggs. On Easter Sunday we went to Church as a family again, like we have been doing every Sunday for the past 3 months. Lisa, Jerry and their kids are like extended family now, the boys like them so much, they are attached to them by the end of church. We went over to moms right after church. We sat around, ate and had the Easter egg hunt. The boys like it so much, thank you Billy K. for helping the walk around and making sure that they got a lot of eggs with a lot of money. They were picked up around 2 to see their dad and then dropped off around 7pm that night. I bet they had a lot of fun.

Aidan (Colleen and Nate's baby boy) Good Friday I had a BBQ and a few friends over. It was a lot of fun. The boys played and with Aidan, Matthew loved him. I have a picture of him holding Aidan, but I forgot to post it. Next update, because it is really cute.
RING AROUND THE ROSIE
Michael’s favorite sound is ring-around-the-rosie, he sings it all the time and Matt does the dance. Michael sings over and over and then falls down. I think sometimes he is going to get to dizzy and fall into something and get hurt. Matt loves to be around his little brothers so much. He loves to play with them, talk to them and even feed them when I let him help me. Chris likes to squirm out of his car seat a lot and Matt goes up to him and screams ‘uh oh, mommy, uh oh’ He thinks that he can pick him up, but the kid weighs almost as much as he does.

PLAY DATE AT THE ZOO
Katie D. and I took all the kids to the zoo on Friday 4/2/2010. We had a really good time, but it was hard pushing all the kids up the hills. Little Jackie and her friend Lauren came to help. Michael really didn’t like it all that much, he was kind of scared of the animals. Matthew really liked it and wanted to walk around. He kept telling the bears ‘hi’ and ‘bye’. It was so cute, but I was a little surprised that Michael was the scared one. I think they are still a little young to enjoy it, the thing they enjoyed most was eating their fruit snacks and drinking their Capri-suns, after I reinserted the straw 50 times each.

Great (long) post! The zoo was fun, too - but you're right, it was a lot of work!! Still, we should make it a point to do that again, maybe near the end of the summer when the kids are all a little older!
Great post, love all the pictures!
All the kids are so cute. Only one thing, you said it was Angela holding Danny, but its Amy.....lol
Love ya,
Jackie
that is funny...I am going to change it. I almost called you to look at it and tell me. They look so much alike in that picture. I was trying to compare their clothes, but you couldn't see what she was actually wearing. I tried, I swear..
I knew that was Amy. I guess it takes a grandma to know. Ha Ha
Such a good post and great pictures. Hey, sometimes the COUSINS wait for hand-me-downs from each other. Your babies are so close in age. Soon they will all be able to wear each others clothes. I love you. Mom
Looks like they are having a lot of fun. Now if only you'd make an effort to let their father see them.

why are you trying to stop tim from buying his house? dudes gotta live somewhere yo
Cardinals game a priority?? I think maybe you should be more worried about all the cuts and bruises these kids have. And why is one of them ALWAYS sick??That should your priority.

oh please- kids get cuts and bruises- that is part of being a kid! im sure if you get some pics of Tim out when he was little there were marks on him too. and kids get sick- especially when they are around other kids/babies!
