Who Wore It Best?

I'm like a Tetris queen, more real life stuff than the actual game.  So a shopping trip at Costco, I took a picture of my cart before heading to their check out 

and then the picture of them after scanning it all.  

You tell me, who did it best?

Sweet, Sweet Children

Isabella helps at Science Night.  She was so sweet with the elementary students and great at sharing her enthusiasm for science. 

 What is it about babies that brings the world to their knees?

My children are all so sweet and tender with our foster babies.

I love catching these tender moments.

 For years, all of my children have showered now.  So imagine my surprise,

to go up and hear a ruckus and find my 9 and 11 year old bathing together and playing

as if they were toddlers again.

I love how much my kids are best friends!

I guess all this sweet goodness starts at the top with my Travis's amazing example.

Late night Costco trip with Wyatt and they have created a train of baby in the cart,

with Wyatt pushing/riding on the flatbed with Travis pushing.

How can it not be fun and sweet with this man leading our family?

Blah, Blah, Blah - This is What We Do

I may not love mornings...

or more accurately not sleeping,

but if you have to be up -

I guess a good sunrise is the way to do it.

Found a belated Mother's Day paper in Issac's backpack.

It's close enough and fairly flattering.

I'll take it.

Bella may be pint sized, but girl is strong.

She lifted this 50 lb bag of rice up from the basement.

I actually sent her down for a 10 lb. bag.

Travis and I suspect Issac may be rich.

Dude is not afraid of a little hard work.

So if his siblings have tablets and he doesn't...

but he wants one, he is not afraid to earn it.

Thanks to our neighbor who was changing,

he got a screamin' deal.

Look at that happy boy!

Likewise Kody is now feeling left out.

It didn't help when Issac won this learning Geo Safari laptop.

But alas, he sold it to Kody for $5...

 the last of the money he needed to buy the tablet.

And ironically Wyatt may play it the most!

 

All is well that ends well.

We are doing okay!
