heaven

Do you ever just look and look and look at your kids and wonder how you got to be so lucky? I love to watch them interact and learn and grow. I love to see pictures of them. They are truly amazing and they teach me so much. I am the luckiest mom ever! Nobody could ask for better kids! I love them with my whole being!

haircut

before

after

It was time. Her hair was in a constant state of rattiness, especially since summer started and she was swimming every day. She loved the haircut and for the first few days, she always had a comb in her hand brushing her hair. :0) This picture isn't the greatest, but for some reason every time I took a picture to show her haircut, she would get bug eyes. :0) So we stopped taking the pictures and just settled on a less bug-eyed one.

genesis wanted to post a video

Hi,Genesis here,I really wanted to post a video{okay,this is going to take a long time to type, because..........okay,fine I'll admit it,I'm not a very good typer}.Simeon is so,so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, cute in the video{he laughs alot too}. Hope you enjoy it.

stuck

Simeon got stuck. I am not sure what he was trying to get, but he climbed onto the counter and into the cabinet and couldn't get out. I, being the wonderful mother I am, had to grab the camera to take a picture before helping him out. I even told sweet Glory not to help him until I found the camera and took a picture. :0)

yeah!!!

We paid off our debt today!! We now only have the house to worry about. Whew! What a weight lifted to have that gone! You know, the prophets really know what they are talking about. :0) Life seems hopeful again. Yeah us!!

end result

They each got a wall and painted it the way they wanted. They had so much fun! I'm glad they have a place to call their own.

"Oliver", painting, swimming

Sim took the pool noodle and walked around the pool saying, "I'm swimming! I'm swimming!"

"CHEESE!" and posing for the camera. He finally decided to go in the pool and had so much fun.

painting the playhouse

The girls were in their school play "Oliver". Genesis was "Charlotte" (the undertaker's daughter), Brooklyn was a milk maid, and Glory was an orphan. They did such a good job and they had so much fun!
