Caden is 6!

Caden turns 6 today!!  Here are a few recent pictures of our oldest.  He's our first miracle and the treasure of our hearts.  We are so proud of him.  







We are having his birthday party on saturday and have invited his entire kindergarten class and most of them are planning to come.  It feels right for our social butterfly to have everyone.  It'll feel like a real celebration.  That's for sure!  I've been getting stuff together for awhile now and I'm almost as excited about it as he is.  He chose the theme and the preparations are coming together!!

The "Thanks for Coming" birds are monster cookies.  We have angry bird hats, cups, plates, napkins (only one store was carrying this stuff.  I had to make the hats).  And the little baggie has the angry bird toothpicks we made to stick into the cupcakes.  What fun!!

They were forecasting sunshine for saturday until yesterday.  Now it looks like rain so stay tuned for the results of 20 hyper kindergarten kids having to be inside plus the triplets.  Don't you wish you could be here ;)
And naturally, in true Mooney fashion we have linoleum being installed tomorrow.  We love to plan reno's in the middle of other events.  I'm certainly not bored.  To tell the truth.  I am in my element and having an absolute ball.  

I have to confess this too - I was sitting outside at Caden's soccer game last night and it was absolutely freezing and I realized that I didn't want to be anywhere else in that moment. I just shivered and smiled and cheered for an hour.  I'm also loving that we are finally getting to know more and more people in our community.  It's really great!  

Ok - that's it for now.  I have to go actually pay for the flooring now.  Hope everyone has a great day!

Oh - and if you want to send Caden a little note - just post it in the comment section here and I'll get it to him.  He'd love that!!  Thanks!

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...
