Life here in our home is pretty basic. We sleep, eat, be lazy, play, love wearing our pajamas, and enjoying hanging with friends whenever we can. I love weekends when we nothing planned. Especially after having so many busy weekends in a row. We get to wake up whenever and get things done around the house since Josh is home to help. We love weekends the most because Josh doesn't usually work. He has done a few days here and there lately, but we have survived and it makes us just enjoy those times together when he is home.
The kids eating breakfast on a Saturday morning. These 3 kids ADORE Josh. They are always wanting him to play with them, wrestle with them, or just snuggle them. Mckinley is talking so much lately. She has the cutest little voice. She definitely thinks she can do anything her siblings can do. She gets so excited when Josh gets home each night. She runs to the door and yells, "daddy!" She will then lead him to each of us and make sure he gives us all our kiss and says hi. It's so fun watching her excitement!
Since I had a little free time on Saturday I was able to get a little project done that I have been wanting to do. I was able to figure out a way to display the kids papers/projects they are constantly bringing home from church and school. Payton insisted on being in the picture.
I just can't get over how amazing the weather has been this winter. I know I shouldn't love it so much but I do. I am worried about the fact that we have had no rain and we are now in a drought. I am trying to be a better mom and spend more quality time with my kids. They are getting older and are able to do more fun things. I am trying to get them to ride bikes, or play catch, or play board games more. I have to admit its hard when they are small because the games especially are SO BORING. Now that Payton is 6 and Scarlett is 3 they both are understanding games way better so we have more options. It's nice too cause Scarlett is the one that loves to be outside and Payton is the opposite, but Scarlett is a huge help to get us all to go out and play. I must say I love babies, but I love even more having my kids a little more older and more independent. Life is just a little easier!
My kids and their cheese face! They crack me up and I truly love spending time with them. I wish I had more time and less real life responsibilities to stress about, but you make do and just do your best!
The kids love this game. Sequence For Kids. Scarlett doesn't quite get the concept, but it's still fun to play with her.
Our life is fairly simple and I love that. My have our health and I am grateful every day for that. The kids are growing, learning and thriving in life. Josh and I couldn't be any prouder of each of them. We love being parents even though it has its rough times. Our life is blessed and we are extremely gratefully to be members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
Rainy days are so much fun!!! Scarlett loved playing out in the rain
Payton joined her once he was home from school
Mckinley even gets out there and plays a little.
