  Such great pictures this week!! Love!

  
  

  We went to my family's ranch this past weekend. I grew up catching lizards with little grass "leashes" we made, so we caught one for G to see. All was fine while Nana held the lizard, but as soon as she put him on my arm, G lost it. I was laughing so hard.

  
  

  
  

  
  

  QOTW: G's favorite right now is strawberries. I normally have endless favorites, but my appetite is all out of whack right now. I would say my favorite right now is my Mom's Magintis - it's a cheesy pasta with crumbled Ritz crackers on top and baked in the oven. Mmmm. And watermelon.

  Holy freaking cute babies and kids.
  
  My kids like a mix of good for your stuff and not so good for you stuff.  If asked, I'm sure they would all say french fries were their favorite food.  But, Shannon is getting less and less picky and he loves fruit, Quinn loves milk, Sully loves fruit too and Maren, well, I'm still trying to figure her out.  Me?  I can't even answer that as the list is too long.
  
  Here's Sully eating his birthday cupcake.  The yarn hanging down is from a hat he was wearing so that he'd look like his bff Geo from Teamumizoomi.
  
  Here's Quinn showing off the pretty flowers in her hair.
  
  
  
  Maren enjoying some morning cheerios and milk
  
  
  
  And Shannon showing off his choco-taco and Quinn her Hello-Kitty treat (along with half of her princess costume) from the ice-cream truck :-)
  
  
  

  Kelly, Mom to Christopher Shannon 9.27.06, Catherine Quinn 2.24.09, Trey Barton lost on 12.28.09, Therese Barton lost on 6.10.10, Joseph Sullivan 7.23.11, and our latest, Victoria Maren 11.15.12

  Secondary infertility success with IVF, then two losses, one at 14 weeks and one at 10 weeks, then success with IUI and then just pure, crazy luck.  Expecting our fifth in May as the result of a FET.
