Kids these days....

Kids these days think differently than when I was a kid. Or at least their experiences are so different, the thoughts that pop out of their mouths are rather humorous. Last week at church Raelyn handing me a number 2 pencil at church and said: "Mom, this doesn't work... it needs batteries" my first thought was: "I think we have too many electronic toys"!

And she's off!

Watch out world... here she comes!

Happy Valentine's Day

Darren managed to get this picture of everyone looking at the camera and smiling - no small feat when you are dealing with 3 little ones. Of course, I really wanted the picture since we were all decked out in our Valentine's red....

Tigger torture

Tigger has been a favorite toy around our house but he can get on mom's nerves after a while -so much so that he even went to go live with a friend for a while . I recently got him back for Avonlea thinking she would like to bounce with him. Instead, I have discovered a new form of baby torture....

Lift up your face - Part II

Here is so post-dinner entertainment at our house. Make sure that you watch at least 40 seconds to see Avonlea's reaction....

what do I do now?

Avonlea with her birthday cake... frosting was everywhere!

Childhood...

Always listen to your children when they are singing... always. You never know exactly what is going to come out of their mouth.

Raelyn was recently singing a Third day song which says "Lift up your face, salvation is coming"

Raelyn's version of it was "Lift up your face, salivation is coming..."
.... so, for all of you who have a lot of drool - life up your face! Perhaps Dentists nationwide can play her version over their muzak ;)
