I DIDN'T WANT FOR MEAN FOR THIS TO HAPPEN

SO AJ, KAIYA, HANNAH, AND KALEB GOT TO PLAY THIS LAST WEEKEND. IT WAS SO CUTE TO SEE THEM INTERACT. AND GUESS WHAT I FORGOT, OH YA, MY CAMERA. I HOPE RACHEL WILL POST SOME. I REALLY MISSED THEM AND I THINK THEY REMEMBERED EACH OTHER. THERE WAS NO DOUBT THAT KAIYA REMEMBERED HER MIMI AND GIGI (MY MOM AND I). THEY GOT ALONG SO WELL:) THERE WERE NO REAL ISSUES THE ENTIRE WEEKEND (THAT IS RARE FOR AJ).

ONE OF THE FUNNIEST THING

SO KAIYA HADN'T SEEN HER DAD FOR A LITTLE WHILE SO HER MOM WAS REHERSING A FEW LINES FOR HER TO PRACTICE. WELL, MY FAVORITE WAS 'WHAT IS DADDY'S NAME'? SHE POINTED TO HER TOE AND SAID 'TOE..' THEN TO HER KNEE 'KNEE'' IT WAS STINKN CUTE. KALEB WAS REALLY SWEET AND WE HUNG FOR A LITTLE WHILE. I MISS PLAYING WITH OTHER PEOPLES KIDS. WE ALL NEED TO GET TOGETHER.

AJ is All Grown UP

He is officially in a toddler bed!!!! This was a big deal. I kept thinking we would do it soon and we never did. My sister wanted his crib so we took the plunge. It has surprisingly been a pleasant experience. We had his crib railings down for about a month so he was used to hearing, "no, stay in bed, it's nite nite." He has done great and he loves it. He really thinks it is cool to hang out in his room.

We have been kind of crazy. Life is crazy. If you don't schedule time for relaxation, devotion of some sort, and play time, the devil finds ways to run you to the ground. I really feel like that is the truth. We need to 'sharpen our saws' through the week so we can stay healthy emotionally and physically, and he knows that. God designed us in His image and the devil tries to destroy us. I don't mean to rant I want everyone I love to enjoy life (plus it reminds me to do the same). I love you guys and have a great week!!!

So I Need to Catch Up

A couple of weeks ago me and my home dogs (brothers and sister and our kids) went to Grant's Farm. It was really fun. It is a small zoo with beer at the end. Here are a few picts.
