Clean up aisle 3

 This little peanut made a mess with the dog food but knew just what to do without me even asking. She has seen all her older siblings do it many times before. Grab a broom and start sweeping. Of course, that's not ALL you can do with a broom...

Touch Pizza




 This picture was taken while all the older children were at school and Lincoln and Alara were getting along quite nicely. Most of the time they are the best of friends. Lincoln calls it a "touch pizza" because two people make a pizza with their legs and then touch feet.  Their legs are so adorably short however, it doesn't leave much room for rolling. 




Together

I love it when they can find something to do all together. One of my favorite things about being a mother of a large family is actually watching them interact together all on their own. My kids may drive me nuts once in a while but they really are the best of friends.

Lincoln's 4th light up birthday

 This little sunshine turned four on Thanksgiving so we celebrated a day early. He didn't seem to mind. We took a trip to the Chilson swim center and ate ice cream cake. Since he brings light to my  life, we gave him a little bit back- a flash light and light up car track found their way into his present stack. One of my favorite parts of the day is picking up Lincoln from preschool and holding his hand back to the car. "Lincoln, do you know who I love? YOU!" "Mom, do you know who  love? YOU! You're my best." Lincoln is also beginning to read beginner phonetic books, zooms like a train with pistons pumping, makes friends wherever he goes, and enjoys music.

Fly High


These are my superheros. 

They have joy in their heart.
 They bring me joy in my heart.


I feel lighter just watching them.
