we were having a BALL WAR

Tonight I was making dinner while the 3 kids played in the living room. NOW I can see the tops of their heads over the kitchen wall and they were laughing and giggling away. Then the hubs got off work and came into the living room and asked “OH MY what happened to Miya & Bode??” My response: “Ummm I don’t know, why??” He said “they have welts on them”. So I put my spaghetti spoon down and took a look and what “welts” he was referring to??? To my surprise they were covered in round golf ball size welts. Now I never heard one scream or cry it was all giggles and laughs so I looked at Kaidin and said “what happened???” His response: “DUH mom we were having a BALL WAR” (using the balls from our ball pit). OMG REALLY they are ONE, who do you think is going to WIN! Well the babies were ok and enjoyed the game, NEVER CRIED, but I don’t think any mommy of year will be given here…

Here are my "welted children"

(photos taken after dinner once some "welts" left their poor little bodies)

Here is the BALL WAR KING

Her presence is of grace

Today we visiting “GG” aka Great Grandma, she is 88 ½ years old and boy is she spunky. Kaidin made this picture for her a couple days ago, when I ask him what it is the story changes every time, the best part is that he made it special for his GG and that’s all that matters. We tried to take some photos with her today and these were the only two that we could get though the screaming and tears of the babies.

Her smile can light up a room

Her presence is of grace

Her opinions are heard without one word

but by the look upon her face

Her touch is so gentle

Her heart as big as the moon

Her spirit is kindhearted and warm

as a summer’s afternoon

Her hair a river of gray

Her eyes radiant as the sun

Her time she’ll take no matter how long

until the work is done

Her kisses are so soft

Her hugs preferred from the rest

Our great grandma is ours forever and ever

and she’ll always be the best…

We love you GG.

SUBJECT #1

SUBJECT #2

Now what do I do?

Bode decided to try and hide from me today. Once he found his totally cool hiding spot it all of the sudden it turned into a rescue me mommy mission… and here is how it played out…

1. This is so cool, look at me; I got up in here all by myself
2. HELP ME! I can’t move, I don’t fit, mommy do something quick.
3. OH wait , I don’t need a rescue; I can do this all by myself.
4. I did it, I did it, that was fun lets do it again!

People That Surround Me

You should always surround yourself around things and people that make you happy, and I am happy, because of the people that surround me...

School Work

We are so proud of him…

Happy Fathers Day D A D D Y!

What a great FATHERS day. We woke up, watched the view, took some pictures, had coffee & bagels at the marina, packed up, checked out & headed to SEA WORLD with our besties. Here are some photos from this morning before leaving. Daddy loved Kaidin’s card and his little gifts from the kids: A BEER ring opener (I mean everyone has one of those right?), POKER chip chocolates (everyone has those too right?) and some BIG LEAGUE chew GUM (now that Kaidin said daddy HAD to have). Happy Fathers day to the best DADDY Eva! We love you. xoxo

dear Kaidin... love mommy

Dear Kaidin,

You are 4 years old, going on 12. Sometimes I can't believe you are already 4 and then at other times I forget you are only 4. You truly make our lives interesting, fun, special, and busy. The things you do and say make me laugh and leave me and others in awe of where you get this stuff from.You are doing so well in your preschool class and are always looking for ways to get together with your friends and family. Family is so important to you and love calling “family meetings”, usually during dinner.

You like going out to eat and most of the time are pretty well behaved. It's so fun to watch you and a friend have a conversation, like two little adults. You're best friends until one of you wants something the other one has, then it's on, but most of the time you give in and let them have “the toy”…Sometimes you can be so sweet; it almost makes me want to cry. You always tell me “mommy you look hot, hot like a chicken” (you think that’s cool right now), you tell me that I “am the best mommy ever”, you tell me that you “are so happy I am your mommy”. You are always hugging me and giving me butterfly kisses.

Your favorite quote right now is “don’t be so snooty booty” and you smile and giggle EVERY time you say it.

But there is not too much of a good thing, you have the attitude of a tween! You huff and sigh and throw yourself to the floor. You will go running to your room in tears and slam the door. You will cry scream & yell, You want to do everything "ALL. BY. MY. SELF!" If I'm in the right mood, it's really quite comedic, but can also be very frustrating. Which is also funny, because you use that word a lot, things "irritate you", "frustrate you", leave you "angry." Your new thing is, "we went over this!" I guess I must say that to you. You can be quite bossy when you want to be too.

But, it's all you, and you're so smart, handsome, giving, confident, and sure of what you want. I hope these characteristics stay with you through life. I am so proud and happy to be your Mom!

Love you THIS much, always and forever!

Your Mommy
