Kid Quotes

Jaden came in for the 700th time (it seemed) tonight and said, "Baylee is being mean again.". I, exasperated, nursing Noah and just wanting to be left alone replied, "Well Jaden, what can we learn from that?". He replied, "We can learn to be thankful.". I perked up, hopeful that my exhaustion and apathy had lead to a teachable moment by the grace of God. I said, "Ok, what can you be thankful for in this situation?". He quickly asserted, "That her kicking skills are not very good!"

Giantmouseratleopard

The infamous giantmouseratleopard. Someday he will outgrow this and I will miss the legendary, mythical creature I hear about every waking minute. Until then, I will let you all enjoy along with me.

recent things...

Can anyone believe my mom is 50??? I can't. Except for the fact that she has 7 grandchildren, you would never know. :)

Baylee and Madison

Mom and her kids. :)

Brenna loves to smash scrambled eggs in her hair every morning. Lovely.

Which leads to bathtime, inevitably.

It is probably her plan all along.

Our olive tree has ripe fruit, finally!

We have been harvesting and curing like crazy! :) It is my first time, so I am hoping it works out!

A few of our jars, should be ready in May. :)

Noah got a high chair! He doesn't look all that happy about it here, but he loves it. Now, he is part of the family at meal times.

And then there is this one... he is just busy being adorable!

Aubrey

We were sitting on the couch and Aubrey said, "I have something to tell you mommy!" I said, "OK, what is it?" He says, "Christmas is NOT about getting, it is about giving!" I said, "Aubrey, I am going to need you to say this to my video camera so I can use it against you in a couple of months!" :) Then we recorded this and I thought it was cute. :)

The redheads

Kid Table

The girls have graduated to the kid table! :). Well, at least at grandmas house where there is only one high chair. :)

Kid quotes

Jaden was doing his schoolwork and I noticed he missed one of the questions. It was a picture of a little boy praying with a big feast in front of him. Instead of thankful, Jaden marked Trustful. He is notorious for looking only at the first letter of the word and guessing. I told him he missed number 6 and he needed to re-do it. He re-read it and said, "I really thing that trustful is a word we don't use enough. Also, we should always be trustful when someone gives us food. We need to be trustful that they didn't put anything yucky in it.". It never ceases to amaze me how hard he works to get out of work!

Jaden and Sophie

Jaden and Baylee and Aubrey finally got to meet Sophie. Jaden was the only one who really knew how to hold her. There are just so many fun things about grandma's house!

Kid quotes

Jaden, holding Brenna hostage in the extra room: "This is my little Indian friend, I found her all alone, in danger and eating broccoli, about to die, so I saved her and now she's my sidekick."

First Tooth! (gained)

Our little man finally cut his first tooth today. :(. He is getting so big! He immensely enjoyed teething on fresh fruits and veggies... That has been our saving grace today. :)

First Tooth (lost)

Recent Cell Phone Pics

I have been wanting to put something up on the blog for awhile, but when I plugged my CF card in, I realized that I have not been taking many pictures lately! That is weird... well, I have these from my cell phone, which is always around to grab a quick photo with. Sorry for the poor quality, at least they give a little glimpse into what we have been up to lately. :)
