If I don't, I will not stop receiving hate mail/messages from my sister for not having blogged.
Okay, Lorie. I will blog. Sorry to the rest of you.
What to blog about.... well... I've been meaning to post pictures from Sean's party a month ago. We did a Spiderman party for him, and oh how excited he was. So excited that he still tells everyone we pass, whether we know them or not, that he had a birthday cake.
Here is my creation:
With the help of my dear friend Kim, I made a spider piñata. Definitely a hit. Oh, man. There goes another unintended pun. I also had the kids each color one of these spiderman coloring pictures which I then laminated and turned them into...
...placemats! for our lunch: little smokeys, breadsticks and apples.
Turned on a bit of WordWorld to kill some between time while I was getting the lunch set out. I didn't get a picture of it, but we also had "stick the spiderman on the web." I seem to have a version of "pin the tail on the donkey" at every birthday party.
Of course, present time. Oh how excited he was. 
This video is for you, Lorie. This is Sean opening your present.
Oh yes. I forgot to mention that Sean had requested a "red" birthday. I did my best. The cake is red velvet with red frosting, and a red table cloth. Happy red birthday to you, Sean.
Busting open the piñata. Can you believe how brown everything was only a month ago?? It is so green outside now! I am LOVING it!!!
Here is Sean talking to Lorie on the phone: "I got my present! Thank you Lorie!!!" Although, it sounds more like "I got my pweset! Day-do Low-ie!!!"
Moving on from Sean's birthday, when I went to see "Wicked" I had to pump the whole time I was gone to keep from drying up. The good part about that is that each of the kids got to take a turn feeding Addison. They loved it. Can I just say how nice it is to have a child that will take a bottle again? I very rarely need it, but it is nice to know that I can.
Lorie sent the kids a package for Easter, and wow were they ever excited. It's no wonder everyone loves Lorie around here!
Note to self: chocolate can melt in the mail...
melted or not, nothing keeps these kids from their chocolate. Nothing.
.... random side note: I went to the dentist this week and for the first time in all my 27 1/2 years, had a cavity and had to have my very first filling. Fortunately, it was only on the surface so they didn't even have to numb my mouth. It's just really weird that there is now permanently something foreign in my mouth!
Okay, Lorie, now I have blogged. How about you???
p.s. Happy Birthday Vanessa! Thanks for being such a great friend!!!

Woo-hoo! Call back the bees. I LOOOOOOOOOVED the pictures. They are so darn cute!! Thanks for blogging! Never let 10 days go by again. I have to have my nieces/nephews picture fix on a regular basis. HAVE to. Love, me
PS Um, I don't have to blog as often because I don't have cute kids, or any kids for that matter, not even ugly ones.
Lorie is just soo loved in your family. I can totally tell. But word to the LORIE --- you DO need to blog often too, Cute Kids, Ugly kids or no kids at all.... we care about you too....
Amy -- your party for Sean looked like lots of fun. And I'm glad that your babe will take a bottle, and that your kids all got a chance to feed him.
Nothing to talk about? I can't even remember all my thoughts while reading because you had SO MUCH to talk about! And in what?... 2 weeks? Silly Amy. :)
Your Spiderman cake turned out awesome!! I love that Sean requested a "Red" birthday. What a funny boy! And that pinata...SO cool! Good job Kim and Amy!
Okay, I want an Aunt Lorie! She sounds like the coolest aunt ever!!
I just love your kids. I am so jealous that you've just had your first cavity! So not fair!
The cake looks so good! What a fun birthday party! I love the two pics of your other kids feeding Addison, super cute!
What a post! You covered so much! The party looked fab!
And how did you go your whole life with never going to the dentist and only having one small cavaty!? Lucky lady!
5 days?! Grr....
K, Amy Mac, I will be needing your address! Email me... forgigglesngrins@gmail.com .
ok so I wasn't going to comment. Til I was serenaded by Ben Folds... I had no idea you were a fan. WE love him. We went to a show of his right before we moved. Kids are super cute. I can't believe everything is going so fast. I really wish we could be back there.
WOw!! Epic blog posts are the best! I have one coming due, since I have yet to blog about our "adventure" last week (wink wink, grimace) which is definitely blog worthy news.
Auntie Lorie sounds amazing! Oh and it was fun to hear the details of Sean's party, seeing as how I understood very little of Tanner's version, aside from the fact that he was ecstatic about his candy from the pinata!
