*Everyday Moments*

I was rotating all of Jagger's clothes out and he wanted to help. I put these shorts on his head and he thought it was THE funniest thing ever! So I went to get my camera and try to capture how funny he thought it was, well you know how bipolar babies are, needless to say, NOT FUNNY this time around (literary a minute within each other:)


 I heard Hunter  bawling...I told him to come to me and tell my what happened. He comes in and I can barely tell what he's saying but I finally make it out "Skyla doesn't want to play with me!" I could help but start to laugh. He has such a sensitive little heart and he was SO upset that she didn't want to play with him.

 We LOVE lunch time!
The kids get to take turns to decide what we're going to have:)



 While Hunter is at school Skyla and Jagger play so well together:)

*Chris' Birthday*

Chris turned the Big 33 on Tuesday. He had school so I got up and made the breakfast of his choice, pancakes, then he was off to school. That night we had everyone over for dessert and it was fun to just hang out.
Chris wanted Fruit Tart for his birthday dessert, I had never even heard of it before this but I found a recipe and gave it a try, it must have turned out because everyone said they loved it:)





*Tender Moment*

On Tuesday, I sent Skyla up after lunch to get ready for dance...10 seconds later I heard a huge CRASH! She was screaming, you know one of those screams where you KNOW it hurt. I went running up stairs and apparently she was trying to get her dance outfit off the hanger and fell and hit the corner of the desk.  Her eye looked a lot worse in person but it definetly could have been worse. Hunter heard what happened he immediately started getting an ice pack ready for her. He got a washrag and put ice in it (and everywhere else:) I brought her downstairs and laid her on the couch and Hunter came and laid it on her eye. He kept saying "Does that fell better sweetie?" and "Are you OK?" and "Am I pressing to hard?" He seriously has the most tender heart of anyone I have ever known. We are so blessed to have him in our family. And Skyla is blessed to have such an awesome big brother!

Let me take you back before this happened....This morning I was helping Hunter get ready for school, I started doing his hair and a HUGE chunk of his hair came out in my hands. I said (calmly) "Hunter, did you cut your hair?" He said "No!" So I asked him again, he said No again. Then he tries to convince me that it was probably from when he got his hair cut a few weeks ago. Um...nice try!:) I told him we were going to have to call the Dr. and that we would probably need some shots so he doesn't loose any more hair, he says "How many Shots?" I said "a lot!, that's why I need you to tell the truth right now...did you cut your hair Hunter" "Ya." I busted up laughing just from the sad look he gave me. Why is it that kids want to cut their hair? Oh well, hopefully he learned his lesson.:)

*Joy School*

There are several Mom's that we have gotten together with to have Joy School. 
My turn to teach was last week so I decided to take some "School Pictures" of these darling three year olds:)




*Ready for Winter*

I couldn't find my kids the other day so I went downstairs and I found Hunter and Skyla in the Laundry Room putting all of their snow clothes on. Skyla jumps out and squeals "I'm ready for the snow Mom!" They thought they were SOOOO funny. It was 70 degrees outside. I had no idea the weather would turn so quickly and actually snow three days later! What the....!!!








*Hunter's Last Soccer Game*

Hunter had his last Soccer game last week and I have to admit, I'm going to miss watching his little games. 
He did such a great job this year, although I'm not sure this is the sport for him. He is too nice, if somebody would come try to get the ball from him he would just stand aside and let that person get it, like "It's your turn" Skyla and I were his little cheerleaders and we would tell his to "Be Aggressive, B E aggressive!" The morning of his last game he said the prayer on breakfast and this is how he ended it..."Heavenly Father PLEASE help me to BE aggressive, B. E. aggressive at my soccer game tonight!" I was laughing so hard. He takes his manners very serious...we teach him to share, not to steal, and to be kind...in soccer we tell him the exact opposite:) I guess it's our bad...or is it?:)
 I can't wait for next year:)





 I love this stance of his:)







(at the end of the game this is what it looked like over the cemetery...so pretty!)

*Ouch!*




*More Dance*

Skyla is absolutely LOVING her dance class.
 She is so fun to watch! 

*Skyla's First Day of Joy School*

Skyla has been SOOO excited for Joy School. She woke up early on Tuesday morning SO giddy and couldn't wait to go. Once we got there she kind of freaked out for a minute but then relaxed and had the best time! She looks forward to it every Tuesday and Thursday. It's so fun to see her learning new things and making new friends.:)
