It's My Birthday and I'll turn 3 If I Want To!

"What-you don't like my pink goggles? Whatever-these are in for 3 year olds man!"

Well, Jackson's 3rd birthday was Star Wars-eriffic!!! After spending a few hours at the Indoor Pool arena, we had all the Star Wars things we could think of-we even played Pin the Helmut on Lord Darth Vadar (make the breathing mask sound-c'mon you know you want to).

We surprised him when he walked through the door, by playing the Star Wars anthem as loud as we could on our home theatre system, as he entered the livingromm scared half to death and covering his ears! (Always a great way to freak out your children and send them into crying big alligator tears on their birthday). As soon as we reassured him that it was for his birthday and there was cake and presents-his mood changed dramatically and he was off!

We had fun watching him blow out the candles and open his new red and blue light sabers (that Jeff and I actually bought for us-but used his birthday as our excuse for buying them)! He thought that was the coolest thing ever-we turned off all of the lights and played laser light saber battle to the death with Opa Smith in our tiny livingroom. Opa took some bad hits-but he was resurrected by "The Force" in time to have chocolate Darth Vadar cake and open the rest of the Star Wars action figures! As far as my children know-there is only one set of George Lucas Star Wars movies-the classic set my friends-Chewbaca, Princess Leah, Han Solo in carbon freezing status-oh yeah-the good old days when special effects meant bright lights shooting past the ships really fast and hyperdrive with cool zippy sounds! Can I get an Amen for vintage Harrison Ford?!!!

Anyway-it is so fun to watch our kids grow up! Sometimes we can't even believe that we have these kids-and they're ours, like-forever! "F-O-R-E-V-E-R" to quote The Sandlot! They are amazing aren't they?

What a life-playing with Star Wars action figures, eating cool cake, playing battle to the death and just crashing in deep peaceful sleep anywhere in any position-sticky fingers, face and all. Oh to be young and carefree again! It was a Happy Birthday for my little Jedi Knight! I can't wait for next year-maybe we'll do ET-we can all phone home with long, pointy alien fingers-I'll make sure to post pictures-

L8er Skaters!

Almost 9 years and 3 kids later and we're still smiling!

Almost 9 years and 3 kids later and we're still smiling!
Isn't love great? Sometimes, at the end of the day, we just sit together and think,"We can't believe we have three kids!" Thank goodness for date nights!

Hills in the News

Well, so far the Hill Family has been keeping up with all of our friends and family through occasional phone calls-but no more! We hope that we can share updates about what is going on in our family regularly, with everyone who knows us through this blog! We hope all of you are doing well and we can't wait to hear from you too.
Since Mama Hill has a bad habit of carrying on long thoughts and conversations, you all may be very thankful for the e-version of communication, so feel free to keep us posted about what's happening in your end of the world (without me talking over you)!
Here's how the Hills roll:
Nana just finished Kindergarten, is reading up a storm and completed her first season ever of soccer!
Mr.Man has discovered how cool Jedi Knights and their blue and red light sabers are!
Little Bubbers has discovered how to defend himself, from his older brothers new interest in hitting him with the cool Jedi Knight light sabers!
Jeff is just working up a storm, occasionally fits in some golf and is constantly trying to figure out a way he can be a millionaire overnight, I am busy working with Moby Wrap, Inc. and recently had an article published at the following address: http://www.modernbabiesandchildren.com/maryland/info/our-stories/all-wrapped-up.htm
Aside from being able to add a little to the family income, I spend most of my days finding ways we can kick the soccer ball, play Star Wars, read books, eat, protect Little Bubbers and become millionaires-all at the same time!
We have had a wonderful couple of years here in our Nations Capitol and just to give you an idea of how much fun we've had in the House of Hill-here are are a couple of pictures we've taken over the last few months.
Until the next update- we hope you have a great time with your own family this summer and we can't wait to see your pictures and read your news too!
All the best-Carrie
