Sweet Little Angels . . .

This picture was taken the day we brought Jonathon and Isaac home from the hospital. We laid them in their crib and I remember thinking how big it looked, and how tiny and helpless they looked in comparison-like sweet little angels . . .

Today, while I was upstairs in the bathroom, I could hear these two precious angels downstairs laughing and squealing with delight as plastic crinkled in the background. When I came downstairs to see what was so funny, I found both boys standing in our family room in a pile (more like several mountains) of cereal. They had emptied an entire box of shredded wheat and a full bag of cinnamon toast crunch cereal onto the floor and walked around on it.

Where is the picture you ask? Let me refer you to the picture above-the one that helps me keep my sanity on days like today . . .

No Tricks, Just Treats!

My parents and I took "the kids" (Emily, Grace, Gabe, Makayla, Jonathon, Isaac and Jordan) to Living History Farms on Saturday for an evening of pre-Halloween fun. Everyone got to wear their costumes and walk through the 1875 town of Walnut Hill.


From left to right: Batgirl, Batman, Biker Chick, Wonder Woman, The Flash (minus his costume) and Superman (with a penguin hat on his head to keep warm).


Here we are again, waiting in line for more yummy candy! Sorry again about the quality of these pictures. They were taken with the camera on my phone-I'm waiting for our nice camera to come back home with Chris.

More Birthday Fun!

Birthdays are a pretty big deal at our house, therefore we tend to extend the celebrating from birth-day to birth-week. I picked up Gabe and one of his best friends from preschool today and took them to lunch at our favorite pizza place.


I know everyone has their own opinion of who makes the best pizza, but around here, it's hard to beat The Pizza Ranch buffet.

Just looking at the Cactus Bread makes me hungry for more!

Guess who's 5!

That's right, Gabe is five years old today! He wanted me to wake him up singing "happy birthday" this morning, but he was so excited he came into our room 3 times before my alarm went off to see if it was time to wake up yet.



He got a new Wii game for his birthday. His comment when he opened it . . . "Boo-yah, boys rule!"


Warm, gooey cinnamon rolls for the birthday breakfast. YUMMY!

Star Student!

Emily received a "Star Student" award at school today. She loves school and is a great role model at school and at home. We celebrated with ice cream from McDonald's (exciting I know) and dinner at home on our "Celebrate You" plate.

More Superheros

Here are the final two superheros rounding out our posse-Superman and Ben Ten.

Super!

I sent the boys upstairs to get ready for bed the other night and this is what I saw next-Isaac's version of pj's-Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle pajama shorts and a Batman mask and cape. (sorry about the picture quality, I caught this lovely moment with my phone)



If you haven't already heard, we're a little Super Hero obsessed here at the Hatchitt household. Hence the "Super" Halloween costumes this year. Meet Wonder Woman (Emily), Bat Girl (Grace) and The Flash (Isaac).
