Easter was warm... Kids had a blast and we made a tire swing!!
We celebrated my nephew's birthday and I turned a year older!
Chucky Cheese started Equine Therapy
Chipmunk's class went strawberry picking
They also did a read a long of Madeline!!!
Chucky Cheese learns how to swim!!!
I tried to help Buddy in the ball cage at a friends birthday party.
We also had a trip to Splash down with my older three. It gave them some mommy time and I think it would have been really hard for Chucky Cheese.
I rescued a baby robin and nursed it for three days but it died. :(
Chipmunk and Buddy turned 7 and 6!!!!!!!
It was all about expression!!
This is them on the 1st day of school
This is the end of September

Skin picking was happening a lot...... It got better towards the end of the year.
Halloween the boys were Mario and Luigi
The girls were a goth chic and a genie
Chucky Cheese jumped four feet head first from a playground boat and fractured his nose. He couldn't tell me it hurt, just had odd melt downs.

Christmas pictures
Jocelyn keeps losing teeth
Charles needed stitches but we glued instead!!!!
What an end to the year, Jacob was having seizure like behaviors so we had to go for an EEG
He fell asleep
Well, that is my year in pics and videos. It could have been much longer cause it was a very active year and as many parents can agree there are a lot of milestones. I encourage you to check out Charlie's facebook diary to recap some of his milestones throughout the year at Charles Alexander. You may have to friend request him. Hope you enjoyed this. Happy New Years.
This year I am going to try to focus more on the small things instead of focusing on all the things that seem so overwhelming. I want to enjoy my children as they are while they are young.
