I freaking LOVE this picture of my brother and his 2 beautiful boys.
Carter, Collin, and Sawyer
This was right when Collin got home from Seattle…they were so happy to see him.
Love my family SO much.
Beyond blessed.

K & M’s Circus Themed Birthday Party!
Seriously? My BFF, Liz, is an AMAZING party planner! I keep telling her she should go into business doing this professionally. She throws the BEST birthday parties for her little twin girls.
This year was no different! The circus themed party was a huge success and like always, Liz went all out!

Can you tell which rascals are always getting into trouble? Hmmm… let me see…
The Birthday girls~ Kinley and Madelyn blowing out their candles!
There was face painting…
Ethan and his spider
I was trying to capture the moment that Ethan was showing Andrew his face painting…it was precious. Drew was SO excited for him.
Pictures with Bear, the pony!
My cute nephew, Carter man
Miss Maddie gettin' purdy on her birfffday
Multi-tasking…playing with balloon swords while blowing on pinwheels. love it.
What’s a party without a bounce house, right?! Ben and Sav having a ball.
Yep, this little girl had major kidney surgery less than 1 month ago and you would NEVER know! Look how big she is getting! Those long legs.
The best part~ PhOtO BoOtH FuN!
This is probably one of my favorite pictures of all time! LOVE!
Me and my bestie~ Lizzie Poo. LOVE YOU!
Sweet Silly Savi
OMG. Andrew Paul Steece, you absolutely CRACK ME UP. Our mad scientist genius. He picked out his props and was super serious about this picture.
Scary much? lol
Some of my most favoritestestest people in the whole entire world!
Joe, Suz, Chris, Liz, Collin (bro) & Ashley (sis-n-law)
LOVE YOU GUYS!
Y’all definitely need to hop on over to Liz’s blog and look at all of her party pics!

Our Top Secret V-Day Mission
Yesterday, the kids were SOOOO excited to go to school and handout their Valentine’s Day cards/candy to their buddies. They put together their own cards so they were especially sentimental.
Cute little Sav in her heart outfit from Granna
A quick pic before piling in the burb (E, Sav, Ben, Drew)
I picked up the kiddos from school and told them that we were going on a top secret adventure! (*they squealed with delight*)
We headed to Walgreens and I let them pick out goodies/cards/etc. for Daddy…then, we hopped in the car and snuck on over to Joe’s place of work.
We drove around the huge parking lot and were on a mission to scout out Dad’s car! You can just imagine the kids totally getting into this…all stealth-like and giggly!
We located one Tahoe that looked exactly like Joe’s (same color, make, everything)…but when we drove past the rear, it had a longhorn emblem. “DEFINITELY NOT DADDY’S CAR!” tee hee hee.
Aha! We finally found it! Followed by more squeals of excitement and incessant giggling (Sav, Ben, Drew, Ethan)
Next stage of this covert op? Decorate the inside of Dad’s car like a Valentine had exploded.
Little Miss Priss picked out the balloon, a sweet card, and some pink Mentos strawberry bubblegum for her knight in shining armor.
Ethan, naturally, picked out a GREEN box of mike-n-ikes and thought that Daddy would absolutely LOVE them.
Andrew chose Dad’s favorite- a giant Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup with extra Peanut Butter. (I think Drew has seen these around the house a time or two)
Ben picked out a box of mini-Charleston Chews (another of Dad’s fav’s)…
Side note: Joe is lucky those made it into his car. Mama has a sweet spot for CC’s…(and Jordan Almonds for that matter---I am constantly getting made fun of by my fellow quads moms. JORDAN ALMONDS ARE DANG GOOD, Y’ALL!)
Mama gave him a tub of new Lysol wipes (the ones with the rough part on one side). I know the way to my man’s heart!
Mission Completed! (FYI~ the Little Einstein’s theme song was playing in my head the entire time)
Ben, Drew, Ethan, Sav
The part that Mom loved the best about this endeavor???…
Joe parks up front with all of the big wigs. Bwahahaha! LOVE that everyone and their dog could look into the car and see this…
tee hee hee
We received a phone call from dear ‘ole Daddio around 5:30p and it was hilarious. Operation “Surprise-Dad-At-Work” was a complete success.
What a fun day had by all!

They Call Me “Crazy Hair Drew”
This cracks me up to no end…
Identical twins…100% same exact DNA…right down to their hair follicles.
Ethan & Andrew have the exact same hair cut.
They both go to sleep looking “socially presentable” (with DRY hair)…yet, when they wake up (whether it be a cat nap, or an entire night’s rest), this is how they wake up…
EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
I have NO idea what this kid does in his sleep! Bwahahaha.
All I can say, is the hair matches the personality, perfectly.
I love you, my sweet, CrAzY, quirky Andrew Paul!
Don’t ever change.

A BFF Weekend
So, my best friend & fellow quad mom, Gen McNulty, flew in from California to come help out and be with me during Sav’s surgery. God love her. And my BFF, Mari Goerlich, another fellow quad mom, drove in from Houston to hang with us for the weekend as well! (Yes, I have LOTS of BFF’s…lots of love to spread around!)
Of course we had to meet up with yet another BFF, none other than quad mom: Casey Gerwer! (There are 16 of us, folks…quadmoms stick together)
Mari, Gen, Case, Suz
A little bit of sunshine in my life… Mari & Gen
Don’t think I could love this girl any more than I already do. My Case!
Some UH-MAY-ZING sushi!!! Where was that place, Case?? We must go again there SOON! I’m pretty sure I could eat my weight in sushi---yet, I’m always hungry like an hour later? Anyone else? Go figure.
Mari, Gen, Suz, Casey
My darling, sweet, amazing, selfless husband (are you gagging yet?) took the kids to visit Grammy and Grampy for the weekend so we could have the house all to ourselves (Yaaaaaay!!!!!!) ! I think they enjoyed themselves….you?
Ethan, Ben, Sav, Grampy, Drew- in an “old-fashioned Grampy traffic jam” (per Joe’s text message on Saturday) LOVE it.
We had a little “girls’ day” on Saturday and did some shopping at my fav stores! Francesca’s collections, anybody??? (My shirt) LOVE. It’s Ladeeeez Night! Woot Woot!
(Gen and Mari make fun of me because I always take pictures when I’m dressed up and text them to Joe when we are apart…just keepin’ the spark alive, y’all!)
I did Mari’s hair---isn’t she beautiful!
I swear if I didn’t LOVE being a RN so much, I would totally be in cosmetology. I LOVE cutting hair, styling hair, and doing mani/pedi’s! Save some money and come on over~ I’ve perfected the french mani! In return, you can watch my kids for an hour or two? Deal?
In the car, headed to a nice dinner in D-town!
Gen, Mare, Suz
They are going to KILL me for this! tee hee hee. But we just have so much fun when we are together. I cannot explain it. Such a unspoken, extremely comfortable, undeniable bond that we share. NERDS! And our husbands love each other just as much! No lie.
Gen, Mari, Suz
Din Din at one of my fav places! The Porch in Dallas. LOVE…and so did my guests! SUCH INCREDIBLE FOOD! What all did we have?? Umm.. Fried Green Tomatoes & Fresh Mozzerella, Truffled Mac-n-cheese with Smoked Ham, Brisket Sliders, French Fries, and Gooey Brownie Desert. We just kept ordering and nibbling off the plate. AWESOME. Best. Day. Ever. Love these girls.
Writing this post, just made me miss my girlies so much. It is amazing to see how God strategically placed us in each others lives at just the perfect moment. They are more like sisters than friends. I mean…seriously?!! We all have quadruplets around the same age, have been married for the same amount of years, and are super cool chicks/moms with super cool husbands/dads. (hahaha…you get the picture)
NOT COINCIDENCE.
Thanks for loving me, ladies…one of the best weekends ever. And Joe, I love you. Thank you so much for all that you do and for loving these girls as much as I do.
You. Are. Family.
