Big Brother

Our little town has a great Farmer's Market that we frequent often. Jaed decided to be the stroller pusher this particular Saturday and did a great job. No one was injured and no one jumped out of the way of the stroller, so life was good! Please note Jaed's great hair-do. I have FOUR girls to get ready for the day which includes hair and cute outfits. You would think that Thayne would take some pride in his only son and do something to spruce him up! If I didn't say anything, Jaed would probably wear the same clothes (underwear and all) for the whole week. Thayne promises me that he was the same way when he was Jaed's age so I do have some hope for him! Good thing he's a great big brother (even the best teaser around!) and loves his sisters!

Choir

Josie and Indi have been participating in a community children's choir all year and have really enjoyed it. They are constantly singing around the house even more than they use to (iif that's possible) and have learned tons of new songs. Here are some pictures of their performance!


(I think Indi is a born performer! She swayed her hips to almost every song and was so dang cute!!)


















(Josie loved ALL the attention she got while performing! I think she was more excited that she was in the spotlight than she was about singing!)


















This was their last performance of the year. They performed the same night as four other choir groups. I'm so proud of them for doing a great job!



















We bought flowers for the girls to give to their Choir Director. She had a lot of patience for the kids and did a great job teaching them all the new songs!

Great Purchase

About six years ago we purchased a inflatable castle you can jump in and we think it's one of our best purchases for the kids. It such a special treat to get it out and they can play in it for a long time.
Here's some pictures of the kids playing on it the last time we got it out.


The two half-naked girls are Zoey and Kaia. They would rather run around in a diaper and panties then put clothes on and sometimes it's not worth the fight!





















































Zoey was getting bounced around way too much at one point so she sat in the middle and cried.























Josie saw me pull out the camera and made sure I got a picture of her!

Glasses

Indiya got a Doctor's Kit for Christmas this last year and we couldn't find the glasses to the kit for a long time. Well, we decided to clean under the couches and guess what Zoey found?? She absolutely LOVES to wear the glasses around and we can't help but laugh every time we see her in them! I don't think Indiya will ever get her glasses back. She'll have to be a Doctor without the glasses!

Doesn't Care

As Kaia gets older I realize what a special little girl she is. She reminds me so much of Josie. She is in her own little world and not very in tune with what is going on around her most of the time. She likes to play in the same room that Thayne and I are in even if there are no toys around. Yesterday, I was folding laundry in the front room and she came and played house with the socks in the sock basket. The biggest sock was Dad and the smallest sock was Zoey. Those socks had great conversations with each other and I even saw them hug each other a couple of times! Kaia is very sensitive sometimes. If one of her sisters is mean to her by not letting her play with them she melts to the ground sobbing. Her sense of humor is priceless. We can play jokes on her and laugh with her about almost anything. She really does bring so much happiness to our family!!

We went to Indiya's Kindergarten graduation and Kaia was insistent in wearing these socks. I even found the match to one of them but she preferred to wear them mismatched. This totally fits her personality!

Start em' young!

We are all fans of SpongeBob, here at our house. Even Zoey loves the little yellow guy! When the introduction of the show starts, she starts babbling like she's singing along with it. You put her in front of the show and she'll stay there for quite some time! Kaia and Zoey get along the best when spongebob is on because they are both glued to the T.V. and leave each other alone! I'd like to be one of those great parents that say that they limit how much their kids watch and agree with all of the "too much t.v." crap, but I'm not! We all love the yellow sponge and his star friend and chuckle right along with the kids while it's on!
