This guy in this chair! I love this picture. I know he looks kind of sad, but he really wasn't. Auntie made this chair for BoBo on his birthday, and he really loved it!
There's his happy face. All he needed was that lion!
Ladies and Gentlemen, let me present to you the way I have to drive. I don't have to do this quite as much now, but for the first year+ of his life, I drove this way almost every time I drove anywhere with my boy. And don't worry, I wasn't actually driving in this pic. This was after we got home and were safely parked in the garage.
Just more of me and my boy. But this represents one way I can get him to stop his fussing. Whenever he sees himself on my camera screen, he is instantly distracted. It's cute!
This is so sweet, isn't it? He joined me at a MOPS steering meeting, and he had to help himself to some snuggles from Aunt Traci!
Guilty! I wrote that!
We spend much of our down time (during soccer season) hanging out at soccer practices. This was last fall, and it was a beautiful evening. Matt was out of town, I had all the kids, and they were all being so sweet. It was a nice evening with my babes.
This was that same night. Scrunchie was being a doll (like always). She was singing her "oooza oooza Iiiii!" song as well as her "I Know What Boys Like" which really sounds bad, but she has no clue what the actual words are. She just heard it in some cartoon and needs to sing it A LOT! It's super cute. But I'm partial to her song that she made up.
Yep, he colored on the wall right after he turned a year old. I haven't had the heart to erase it yet. It's precious to me for some odd reason!
Another soccer practice. Brownie and me being silly. This was in the midst of her being sick ALL THE TIME! So to have her up and around and feeling well... I just had to capture it.
More soccer. This girl wanted me to braid her hair like Miss Traci does--I gave it my best shot.
Aw, that smile. She was just chilling at her soccer game. I was just chilling with my camera opened on my iphone.
This gal and her the rest of her team dined at Cici's for a post-party celebration. They had a bunch of fun.
She built me this tower and just HAD to come show me. She was proud!
This doesn't happen much anymore. We were headed out on a family walk!
This was just a random Monday morning in the fall. I wanted to remember what my life was like at this exact moment. So I took a picture to capture it. I was just so happy being home with my babies while they enjoyed a silly show and I made a grocery list. It's the little things, people...
When Brownie spent so much of her days sick, she really took comfort in this bear. She was given this bear by Peach on the day she was born. She actually calls it her Mama Bear, but I never correct her.
Despite how ill she may have been, it didn't change who she was. This is her depiction of herself--it's pretty much dead on. She owns an outfit just like this!
How could I ever forget this preciousness? He went through a period where this is how he feel asleep ever single night. It, at times, seemed tedious, but of course those are sweet memories I've already tucked into a sentimental pocket of my mind.
New blinds. My blinds in the laundry room were so old and trashy looking, so we got new ones. They are cordless, so I already had to love them. But they really do look so much better than what was in there before!
Miss Mak gave me this Minnie doll. Do you want to know why? Well, it's because I might miss her in the night, so I can cuddle this Minnie doll so I won't miss her as much. How adorable and thoughtful is she? I love her heart so much!
Oh this little peanut... I can't help but adore her cuteness. She was putting those gel window cling things on.
This was a fun day at home. We played all morning and the kids were so sweet together.
He was on his way to la-la land in his high chair. Just a cute shot.
I think this is worth a "caption this" contest!
Hunk the PhotoBomber!
This little Hunk spent the our last free minute that morning watching the garbage truck do its thang!
Fierce and crazy!
Sleeping in our hotel after she made me stop flipping channels once I landed on a football game. She said she wanted to watch basketball, but she meant football. I nearly died--I had no idea she cared about it.
The beginning of several days where Keira missed school due to her undiagnosed celiac disease. I'll do a separate post on this topic. She was curled up on the couch. In order to help her feel better, we watched Monsters' U!
She came over to the couch and showed me a picture she drew for me.
And told me where I rank among the mommies!
This is just cute!
All the good stuff Brownie is thankful for. So sweet.
Cuddles!
Brownie loves art. We started seeing a new doctor at KU Med, and ate at Five Guys afterwards. She drew a picture and put it up on the board before we left. I took a pic so we'd have it to remember because she planned on leaving it on the board. Well, she ended up taking it with her. Shes a doll!
This girl has blown my mind! She memorized all of her sight words. There were several lists with 20 words each. She finished them faster than anybody in her class--a fact she's rather proud of. She's now working on spelling them because they ran out of words for her to do. I'm amazed by her memory.
One night, this guy just couldn't get comfortable. He was in his crib and screaming. We brought him to our bed, and he still couldn't get comfy. All of these pictures were taken within a minute. I had no clue he could move that much that late at night!
Playing at a little activity table in his toy room.
These two were sitting together on Scrunchie's bed. I just thought it was cute. It also shows Mak's patch. She has amblyopia. I took her in for her first eye check up thinking nothing was wrong. We found out she had a lazy eye, so we patched for the better part of four months. She is now patchless, but still has glasses. We don't have a check up for another couple of months, so that's all the news on Mak's eyes I have.
Roar like a lion!
Fun times looking through Scholastic Books!
This little sweetie set up a play station for Keian. These were all his toys that were available in that room. She thought it was a neat idea to put them together so he could choose what he wanted to play with.
Selfie with the cutie
She sat in a cubby in the nursery. Just a funny girl.
Back to Thanksgiving Eve morning. It was a sun shinny day and the dogs were not planning on missing out on chocoalte chip pumpkin bread.
He thought something was hilarious!
The lion replaced mama's hand more than once. He would not fall asleep if I let my hand off his back!
