Someone's Having a Birthday!

This little girl celebrated her 14th birthday today (this picture was taken at breakfast, thus the milk carton in the middle of her gifts) she had her favorite breakfast, one that we rarely have, Eggo's...a gourmet meal!  We love that Emma, not a girl of many words, but what a humor she has!  She is a tease and quite funny with her quick wit.  Can't believe she is 14 years old.  How did that happen!  She is a beautiful girl that is loved by us all.  

Happy Birthday Emma Elizabeth.  

We Are a Happy Family!

Joslin's face is a classic! 

Here are the words just in case you don't catch it all:
Cry by triplet off camera
Kaitlin: Joslin!
Mom: Hi
Mom: Joslin!
Mom: nervous laugh
Mom: Who’s that?
Kaitlin: Squish me
Joslin: Evil laugh
Kaitlin: Don’t squish me
Mom: Oh Kaitlin
Mom: Are you having fun Kaitlin?
Kaitlin: cry
Mom: Does it look like she is having fun?
Kaitlin: Move
Joslin: NOOOO
Mom: You guys

Here a Sock, There a Sock, Everywhere a Sock Sock...Old MacDonald Had a Farm

I did the laundry this morning, as I do every morning except Sundays and sometimes busy Saturdays.  I still run loads on those days, but don't fold the clothes or put them a way. 


We are in soccer season. 


How many soccer socks do you thing there were in the laundry this Monday morning?...

Wait, I forgot there was a load of whites in the dryer that I did not have in the first count....

Now how many total?




36 soccer socks (that all had to be turned right side out)
Pretty sure all 36 have holes in them...soccer socks are expensive!


8 children at home, 8 in soccer, lots of soccer games!


To carry on the Facebook conversation...


Here is the picture I posted on Facebook after a soccer game of the high school soccer girls.  The triplets, Jami (1), Karli (2), and Lauren (3) and younger sister Hannah (5).  They all have the opportunity to start on varsity, which is so fun!  They have each scored goals this season also, even Jami who is on defense!

People have asked where #4 is?  To which I had to reply with this:

http://farmersdozen.com/ Joslin "Hello! Remember Me?

 #4 is older sister Joslin.
Doesn't she look like she is saying: "Hellooo, Remember me, I am #4?  Okay, she WAS  #4 she is in college now. 

She was on the team with the triplets though, 2 years ago when the team went to State and WON!  They were the first girls sport at FHS to win a State title and still hold that record!


Then Mary brought to my attention that she was #4

Oh yes, how could I forget sweet Mary was #4 for many years in soccer and basketball, with the triplets being numbers 1, 2 and 3.  Mary would still be #4 if she hadn't moved away!  We love Mary!


So there you have it, the mystery of who is #4.
