Three Little Monkeys Party

Our little monkeys turned one year old yesterday and it was a great day. I have a lump in my throat as I sit down to write a bit about the day. It means so much to me to have these beautiful boys and it's at significant times like this that my heart feels even more full and overflowing than usual. On top of that, I can feel the love that pours out all around us and our kids from everyone in our lives. We are just so blessed. And for those of you that want them, here are a LOT of pictures from the party.

The past week was dominated by cake creation. Justin, with help from our friend Todd, made these cakes with love for the boys.






We sang happy birthday to each boy individually, in order of birth and let them see their cakes. The bigger boys helped blow out the candles!



I was surprised to see that by the end, Dylan was the tidiest cake eater. They all enjoyed their first taste of sweet sweet chocolate cake and icing. YUM!









Present Time!! It was a little wild. I should have been a little more organized about it but it was fun and the bigger kids enjoyed helping open the gifts. Thanks everybody!






The kids got some cups and water bottles
and they kept trying to drink out of them.




Dylan and Auntie Sherry
I was lucky enough to get a pic taken with each birthday boy.


And we party on...


Evan and cousin Beth



I'm not sure it's a good sign that Dylan finished off his party crashed out on the floor with a couple of bottles in his hands :)
All in all it was a great day and a really fun party. The boys are fabulous and I am so proud of them. They already seem like little boys. I am starting to see little temper tantrums and their sense of humour is getting more and more pronounced. They are SO funny. This next year is going to be Extremely entertaining and utterly exhausting - I can hardly wait!

They are here. They are really really here!!!

It was a cool day. Almost too cold. The kind of cold that makes you rethink your very existence.... Boy. I am waaaay to tired for that. So I will give you the un-dramatic version. So, we are getting bombarded with requests for an update and pictures. So I will oblige and provide you with all the gory details. Actually, there are no gory details. In what can only be described as an amazing answer to many prayers, the new Mooney babies were brought into this world with no problems what so ever. We entered the hospital at 10:00 in the morning and were taken to the surgery room around 12:00 noon. At exactly 12:38, the first baby, Dylan Michael was born weighing in at 6 pounds even. Then, also at 12:38, Evan Timothy also charged into the world weighing in at 5.2 pounds. Then, at 12:39 Liam David was born weighing 4.8 pounds. For those of you good at math, that is a whopping 16 pounds worth of babies. 16 POUNDS!!! And even though them just being born at 36 weeks and 5 days isn...

Did you know?

So, did you know that exercising regularly can help you have more energy!? Okay, so did I. And did you know that eating healthily also helps with that? As does going to bed at a decent time at night? I guess we all know that but I haven't been good at acting like I know that. I was getting frustrated. I was just so tired in the evenings. I wasn't having the kind of quality time with my kids or my husband that I wanted. I didn't feel like going out with friends in the evening. I was okay during the day but that's not when I am with my people, for the most part anyway. Sometimes, I would fall asleep on the couch before my kids bedtime!! If I wasn't asleep, I was lethargic and unmotivated. Just not the me that I wanted to be. It doesn't sound like much, but I just couldn't stand wanting to be intentional but not having the energy to do the things that mattered to me. And my kids are 9,9,9 and 11. That's old enough that I can't use the...
