Little hands.

Is there anything better than when your kids discover how to draw?!
Actually draw something that makes sense.
No.
There really isn't.
These are so amazing...and I have boxes full of these kinds of drawing from Raegan and Evan.
I can't seem to put them in the garbage.

These literally make my heart sing.
It makes me want to dig Raegans and Evan out...frame them...and hang them all over.
I just might.
They make me smile.


The eyelashes.
The bunny ears.
The teeth.
I don't know what they are...but they make so much sense to her.

This was a 'monster' she drew for Evan.
For some reason it ended up sideways but I love the details.
Specifically the teeth...
and the toes.
LOVE.

Cuddles.

Give her a binki and some mink...and she will cuddle.
My favorite thing E.V.E.R.
I gave her a binki and put her mink on my chest...
And then I went to Heaven. 

Went to the pool for Elsie's birthday.
Got home and this girl had had it.

These are the moments...that make my job a little lighter.
Glorious really.
Went to dinner with these two one night.
These two are so fun to watch when they are nice to each other.
They're best buds. 
A few Saturdays back when Shawn was gone we went to visit Uncle Coulton at his job.
Pretty much the coolest job on Earth...according to my kids.
Coulton was kind enough to let the kids run in and out of the fire truck,
open all the little and big doors,
and even let Evan sound off the air horn that almost shattered the windows around us
(that was actually an accident...the first time Evan hit it...then it wasn't an accident the second time).
It was deafening.  Wesly got a small taste of her own medicine...although lost her breath from crying so hard!

Evan insisted on trying on EVERYTHING.  The hat.  The gas mask.  The coat.  The hose.
He was...well...a perfect boy in there. 
Lunch date after I butchered my hair.
Glad my kids accept me and weren't embarrassed to have me around.

This is what Rae decided to spend her $35 on.
Lovely.

Toilets are fun.

These two little nuggets were awfully quiet.
We snuck up on them to find this.
One in the tub...and one in the toilet.
This picture was taken right when we found them...before Wesly submerged her toy into the toilet...

This was taken after we all yelled out in unison when Wesly decided to continue her play with her toy since we were all just standing around them smiling.  Laughing really.
The sheer terror was so funny I had to take a picture before we grabbed them up and held them tight.

These two!

Bathing beauty.
Nothing better than a babies bum...except a fresh clean one : ) 
Wes.
Desperately trying to keep those lids from closing...
because Heaven forbid she snoozes in the car!!

This is how you play with toys in the toy box.
Literally...in the toy box.

Mayci pushed her around in this for quite some time.
Mayci does whatever she can to make this girl happy.
It completely melts my heart. 
I love the nights when all the other kids are down and she wakes up.  Its not too often, but it gives me a chance to REALLY enjoy her and play with her uninterrupted.  She is a character.   
Just cause she is SO SO SO stinkin cute.

The 2 older kids were off to school.  I walked in from kissing them goodbye and I was blessed to come upon this scene and appreciate it so much.
My sweet little 4 year old in her nighties and my babe all adorned in her favorite outfit...a diaper.
This is my scene all day.  Every day.
These two girls.
I spend a lot of time with them...and the dynamic between them is Heavenly and nothing I have had the pleasure of witnessing yet.
Jo Jo is the sweetest, most patient, loving, giving, best big sister this little Wesly could have ever asked for.
She is lucky to have 2 big sisters, but to spend so much time with this one due to age...its Heaven sent.
These two were meant to come when they did.
One before the other, and one after the other.

If Wesly cries, Mayci soothes.
If Wesly screams, Mayci covers her ears and laughs.
If Wesly hits, Mayci DOES NOT hit back.
 If Wes gets hurt, Mayci RUNS to aid her.
If Wesly wakes up, Mayci runs in to her room and puts all of her toys in her crib.
If Wesly wants what Mayci has, she gives it to her.

The list goes on.

My favorite moments of everyday are to watch my kids love each other.
And to watch Mayci love her SO much...
my heart could explode.
 



As I stated in my previous post...
anything with 4 sides carries this precious bundle.

blue eyes + a bucket =
Wesly!
