I Can't Help It.

I have to post this picture.
Its too cute not to.
It reminds me they really do love each other
(even if it is only when sleeping).
This is what I found when checking on the kids after I put them to bed in their own rooms!
I can't think of a better way to end my day.
(smile).
Happy Valentine's Day everyone!

Back into Food Storage

Hey Everybody! Yep, I'm back at it...again! Anyway, found this link on a friend's blog, tried it and really am impressed. This lets me know exactly how long we can survive on what we have. Pretty impressive! Best of all....its FREE! So, go ahead and try it out! Great way to get started and keep track!

Popcorn Poof Hair

So, she looked so cute today with these little popcorn poofs on top! So grown up! This picture doesn't do it justice! I was so proud! See the next post to see what it looked like after nap time.

Updates

So, since I have so many kids now ;) I thought its about time for them each to have a little moment in the spotlight. Starting with the baby.....

MASON CHRISTOPHER - 8 weeks
Our little Mason boy is really chunking up! He weighs almost 12 pounds now and today is his 8 week birthday! He is sleeping 6-7 hours at night and is the best little guy! He is great at smiling on demand and is starting to coo. He is so good! We can't remember life without him!

CHLOE - 2
The hair says it all huh. I spend time every morning combing her hair to have her take it all out at nap time and wake up with it like this. She got this dress up outfit for Christmas and while she is all decked out in these pictures, the shoes are her favorite part. She wears them all the time with everything. She has an obsession! She is at such a fun age though. VERY independent. She even insists on going potty all by herself now (good and bad). She talks non-stop and is pretty smart. She refers to Mason as "bubbers" and often asks when he's nursing if he is having chocolate milk or regular milk. When I say regular she points to the other side and says, "Oh, this one is chocolate huh." She adores her big brother and does anything and everything he tells her to. If he wants her to go downstairs in the dark, she'll do it. She is our sugar and spice and on most days we'll keep her.

LOGAN SETH - 3 1/2
I can't believe my baby is almost 4! He is a big primary boy now and loves it! He has wonderful teachers and he is constantly asking questions about the things he is learning. He LOVES to be with his daddy and reminds me at least once a week that when he is big like daddy he is going to go to daddy's school with him. He takes such good care of Chloe and Mason. He knows almost all of his letters and their sounds and loves to have Chloe sit on his lap and "read" to her. It is too cute. He loves to play and tease and stall bedtime for at least 45 minutes. He likes to sing and spin and talks constantly (am I seeing a recurring theme in my kids?). We tried to watch a movie the other night as a family that he hadn't seen and 15 minutes into it we had about 100 questions already. It was a LONG movie!

We are so grateful for such good kids. They are so much fun and teach us so much. Life would not be complete without them.

A little FUN!

So we've had some crazy weather these past few weeks. One of the highlights was a day in the upper 50's and daddy having a day off! So, we did what any family would do and took our kids to the park. Logan loved to ride his bike around and Chloe would run circles up and down the slide.

However, not all days are full of daddy being home and sunshine outside so we have to improvise. With Grandma's help (okay, grandma made it and I helped some) we made the kids a teepee for Christmas. Fortunately, Chloe's tunnels she got last year can lead right into it! Its been a blast for them and a lifesaver for me!
