Living the good life..

 Baseball season was so much fun to spend at the ball park. The kids love seeing if they will catch a foul ball.

 News anyone?

Even Hockey was a fun thing to experience. The kids loved it all!

 Daddy's little helper...happy helper I might add...

 So we went crazy and bought some chicks...6 of them. The kids would wrap them up and hold them like a baby...so cute.

This was such a cool exhibit. So great to show the kids and see how the world was thousands of years ago. It was long for the kids but definitely worth going. We will do more stuff like this.

LOVE

 I am so grateful for this baby wrap...I have been able to be a mom to my baby and be there for my family...making dinner, walking to get Jeffery from school and many more things...because of this life saver. Everyone needs one, if you need to know how to make one...super easy and soooo worth it!

 Emi is growing and so fun to watch.

 Valentine's Day! The kids helped decorate and their dad made an amazing dinner, baked sweet potatoes with black beans and guacamole on top and steak on the side...It was amazing!

This makes me think of love...the love I have for my wonderful husband and my cute kids.

So dad promised a hot stone massage and the kids loved it. It was their Valentine's day gift. They wanted one the next night...and the next...and the next.

 Emi was so excited to explore the outdoors when the warm sun came out this spring. So fun to watch her explore the world around her...even if it is by eating everything...

Miley is fun to watch too. She taught herself how to tie her own shoes...I was amazed and proud that she wanted to figure it out and did it! Then she is doing really well with reading and working hard...so hard she fell asleep. I would lose that battle to if I was as comfy as that...

 This is such a nice thing to do, play basketball and let the kids run around when it is still cold outside. They love it and beg to go again and again.

This is a fort that Jeffery and his dad made..pretty cool if you ask me and many hours of having fun. I love watching my kids learn new things and create. Pure joy!

Christmas

So I have been meaning to get to this but keep putting it off....and off...and now I am doing something about it. Christmas was a wonderful time. Before we get there here are some fun memories...

 Emi is very relaxed and keeping warm...

 Jeffery just happened to lose his two front teeth right before Christmas...We definitely sang the song a few times..

My three beautiful kids have adorable smiles especially in the morning under the Christmas tree.

We went to the jump zone and had a blast swinging into the pit of foam...and lots of laughs were involved.

 Emi lovesssss the bath. Her eyes get so blue sometimes.

 Christmas morning! They were so excited. Jeffery said he heard something on the roof that night...
Dad with the camera...and his herbal tea...classic.

 Another year of great blessings. We have been truly blessed to give and create these big smiles.

Memories together

I love seeing my kids smile. It warms my heart so I try to get lots of pictures of them. Here are a few I love...

 Our kids sneaked into the living room and fell asleep. They wanted to sleep under the tree.

 A Dad's job is never done...

We love going and building stuff at the home depot. Such a great thing for kids.

We have really enjoyed going to volleyball games and basketball games at the U...We might have to get some red shirts one of these times..

Well, Miley has been asking if we could see Santa and we got the chance last week...He forgot to ask her what she wanted...luckily we can send him a letter but I assured her that he knows.

Well, that is a lot of things to catch up on but we hope you enjoy seeing what we have been up to. We hope you have a very Merry Christmas! I can't believe it is here again. Time is flying by and we need to remember to live in the moment and enjoy each one. Have a great one!
