Isabella's Appleseed

Isabella was so excited to go to her first Appleseed! She did so well and we were very blessed to have her big brother available to stay by her side and teach her the whole day. She followed all the safety rules and had a blast. Those were the important goals for her first Appleseed. She didn't shoot too bad either ;)

Bananas over mommy !!

That is what his shirt says. And it is true. He is just crazy for his mama.

The other day I put this shirt on Gabric for the first time. Kadin picked him up to give him some brother love and the next moment I heard a gasp from Kadin.
He looked at me with a serious expression,
"Mama I would NEVER pick bananas over my mama!

We just love daddy working from home

Our dinner

Tonight our personal pizzas became pizza men with armor and swords.

Baby on the way!

But not mine ;)
Clayton and Vanessa are expecting!
Some of you will remember the beginning of this year when Vanessa ( Stephen's sister) lived with us and we had lots of wonderful wedding craziness. They are very excited and so are we.
Please be praying for Vanessa as she is suffering from all day morning sickness right now.
We spent the weekend at the ranch enjoying them both.
The kids loved the animals, especially the horses. Though we have a couple little girls who are not fond of dogs and we are working on that.

Uncle Clayton is the best. Both of my girls have loved him from the start.

I think they may be destined to marry cowboys ;) and if they are anything like Uncle Clayton that would be just fine with us.

Letters and Uncles

Titus and I were sprawled on the kitchen floor making letters in a notebook - just having spontaneous learning time this morning. I was showing him how to write an E and then how to make an e. He was doing a great job writing them.
Trying to explain how they are both Es, I told him this is a daddy E and this is the baby e.

I can see his mind working as he looks at the paper for a minute.

" Yeah and mommy- as he scribbles out some shapes- these are the uncles!"

Mama juice

When we were able to bring Gabric home Hadassah was so fascinated with him. She was in awe of everything about him. And she was especially curious about the whole nursing experience. After I explained and showed her that the baby was eating, her eyes lit up and she said " baby eating mama juice".
Now whenever he nurses she gets a knowing smile and nods her head and confidently says "mama juice".
