Patrick: My honey for the past 4 years, Patrick is the video game playing, rock music loving, football watching, basketball playing comedian in our family. The greatest thing about his sense of humor is he doesn't have to try to be funny, he just is. He states the obvious in the most hilarious ways. If anything breaks or there are electronics in need of being set up, he's the one I call on. He is the best Mac n Cheese chef of all time! I honestly have no idea how he makes something from a box taste so darn good! Patrick is also the greatest listener (even when he just says "uh huh" and "okay.") He is great with the kids, and always helps out around the house without complaint. He truly is my best friend, and we have so much fun together.
Rachael: I am the boo-boo kisser, the snuggler, the cook (sometimes,) the laundry folder and the parent who is missed the most whenever I so much as leave the room. I'm the one everyone comes to when something is missing or need a quick fix. I am also the best kiss giver and hugger.
Miss B is 5.5yrs old and smart as a whip! She can identify all the letters in the alphabet, knows colors, shapes, sizes, the days of the week and can spell and write her name. She is also good at basic addition and subtraction, and we're pretty sure she's going to be a whiz at story problems. She has recently started to figure out opposites and can match things up like a pro. Miss B enjoys books, playing outside, watching movies, helping Mommy around the house, playing with her toys and just like her mother, she is crazy about music. She is a good big sister to her younger brothers and is always looking out for and helping take care of them. Miss B has a sassy attitude, and although this gets her in trouble, it's also very funny. Miss B has always been great at entertaining herself, and can often be found in her room coloring, having tea at her table, or playing make believe with her "buddies."
Where to begin with our middle child?.... P Man is 3yrs old, and is such a boy! He loves cars/trucks/trains, has a newfound fascination with super heroes, is currently collecting dinosaurs, and is great at throwing and trying to catch balls. He loves to rough house with his siblings or just with the floor. He also loves movies and coloring and singing songs. He is quite the little chatterbox, and is great at expressing his thoughts and feelings. Like his Daddy, P Man is very funny. He is always cracking us up with his animated facial expressions, silly voices and sounds and his dancing. His big blue eyes, round, rosy cheeks, and cheesy grin make him irresistable, and a total ladies' man.
Buddy is 2yrs old and is our busy body (which is my way of saying he's a trouble maker.) He gets into anything and everything, so we have to keep a constant eye on him. If it's quiet, we know we better run and see where he is, and quite often, we walk into a disaster. Buddy is also a charmer. He has a sweet little grin, funny wave, and says "hi" and "bye" to everyone. He loves cars, stuffed animals, noisy toys, movies, playing outside, and hanging out with Mommy. He doesn't talk much, but is good at letting us know what he wants with key words like "water" and "sleepy." He also enjoys being with his siblings and trying to be a big kid like them.
