Sydney's laughter

Libby and Sydney
These two just hit it off ! They were having so much fun building the blocks and hitting them down....over and over...and over again. :)

At grandma and grandpa Eldredge's house on Sunday.

Relationships

I absolutely love my life. I love my husband who is so good to me. I love my amazing sweet beautiful little girls. They teach me something new everyday. I was talking with my friend Ember. Her brother had just passed away. We were talking on the phone and she reminded me that yes we take our knowledge back with us but there is one more thing: it is our relationships that we take back with us as well. That is something I have always known but for some reason it made me slow down and think about my life. I get stressed sometimes about things that I just cant always control. But I can control how I spend my time with my kiddies. I just cant put into words how much I love them, I breathe for them, I literally live for them, my life is for them right now. Thats my job. And since I feel that way I really dont want to mess this time with them up by being obsessed with "accomplishing" something that day at their expense. I've been noticing that by me being patient when they wont let me finish ONE task and putting their feelings first before my drive for "success" is really a huge accomplishment/investment for our relationship now and the trust/bond they have with me for the future will be greater. Its just a small daily investment in the emotional bank account that is going to make our relationships rich and fulfiling later on. And I think thats what a successful mom is. When all is said and done the dust will still be there, laundry and all that grime on the windows but my kids....they will be grown up and gone. So Im thinking I better be good to them now so they'll be good to me later. :)

These are the good old days!

This is the majority of the Kids in the "F" building, actually we are missing a few in this pic. Andra (the adult you see) gave us the idea for a BBQ and EVERYONE in our building came and we had a blast! Thanks to Roxy's awesomely big BBQ~Thanks Roxy! Fun Fun. :) Do you ever wonder where we are all going to be in 5 years time? Done with school, Business owners, the Supreme court justice, Construction management....and the list goes on...Thank you girls for brightening my day...everyday! awww... my sweet Bailey. Oh, tear jerker. I just love how thoughtful my little love is. She is so special!

Sydney, you get this place cleaned up!

Ohhh...my little Hemangeioma baby! Taylor you are so beautiful!

This is Taylor and Evony just hanging out with the rest of us. I sure had fun with you girls the other night. BBQ and sharing our "naughty" stories over the fire until late making s'mores. Arent these the good ole' days!?

Here is PumpkinLand! But these pictures do not do it justice because my camera died! :) The pumpkin actually turned out to be a jack-o-lantern on the other side, there were farm animals. Bailey came home that day and said, " When I grow up, Im going to have two pets. A turtle and a Bunny." She fell in love with bunnies while we were there.

I tried getting a pic of Bailey but she was in the front of the line and I was in back with the double stroller in the mud. :( Its cool, but no pics of Bailey really. She really was there! I have videos but I my pillow is calling me... I hear it.....I must retire for the remainder of the evening. Take care, thanks for looking. :)

Tomorrow, Tomorow, I love ya Tomorrow youre only a daaaaaayyyy aaaaaaaaaaaaawaayyy!

Tonight Josh and I were so ready for the day to slow down and to quiet down, However it just seemed to not go as hoped. It went better. All three girls just kept talking and talking and singing and yelling it was so odd yet refreshing. Here's a little taste. Josh and I just stared at eachother laughing in awe of how cute this is.

photo journalism at its best.

Hi. so as I visited Newport 36th a few weeks ago I took my camera out into the ocean. I past the Gedi (spell check?) To my suprise A GREAT WHITE was coming right up to bite me in the you know where. This is actual footage of it coming up to taste my hiney. Its was so hungry. Personally I dont blame him, but hey I've got kids so...Luckily I used my sweet water ninja moves to dodge this magnificant creature. turns out I'm in one piece and safe.
In the end it made a great picture.
