Mommy loves Mondays

Monday's can be kinda crazy at our house sometimes I sing the song "Just another Manic Monday ohoh..."  in my head b/c of the craziness that is!  But today I was reminded why I love Monday's so....#1. Tate was so excited to see me after school b/c he learned a new trick as you can see in the video!  #2.  Because we started a new job helper tonight and Issy was so proud to be the dish helper! 
Without my kids I wouldn't have the best craziness there is in the world, so I love Mondays as Crazy as they are....where would I be without my Mondays? 

A little info about the video....in the background you can hear Addie yelling from the bathroom, Issy is hiding behind Tate trying to sneak in the video which she does real nicely at the end and little Ava is sitting in her high chair ready to be cleaned up from supper...CRAZY!

#1. Tate, " Mom when I get older and have a baby I am going to name him Tre!"  Paul says, "Tate you know when you get older to have a baby you have to marry a girl..." Tate says, "HUH!!!! YUCK!"  He doesn't quite get it!:)

#2.  Watching Scooby Doo Mystery...Addie comes to me crying and says, "Mommy Dooby Dooby doooo gone..."

#3.  Ava had a few dirty diapers today...more than the usual and Tate says, "Maybe you shouldn't feed her any more today then we won't have to smell that!"  YA I give that a try Tate....:)

#4 Every night when I am tucking in the kids, I say to them, " I love you, be snug as a bug in a rug and don't let the bed bugs bite."  And they say it back to me...it's our little night saying...but the best is when Addie say's it back, " wuv you too, nug bug rug don't bed bite bite!"  LOVE IT!

Lot's of Love today!

Growing up to fast

                                           Look Who's Sitting up!!!

I have come to realize that my babies are growing up to fast and as much as I would like to stop life right now and freeze them at the ages they are I can't! 
Today Ava started to situp without falling over which means we will have a crawler by Christmas!  She is my last baby so I have caught myself savoring every minute and moment of her, I am trying to capture her smile, giggles and babbles like it's a time capsule that I will have and treasure forever. 

Addilyn has just turned 3 and has been able to reason with you much better....you could say I am glad she has moved out of the terrible two's!  If there is one thing I could take from Addilyn everyday and apply it to my own it would be her love for life.  She is probably the most happy go lucky little girls I know and she is full of laughter and love.  There is never a dull moment with Addilyn and I can't wait to see her bloom into a young lady.

Tate....my Tater tot!  He is going to start wrestling and he is in basketball....it seems like yesterday he was my cuddle bug snuggling on my lap with his blanky and pacie.  Tate melts my heart I have a BIG soft spot for Tater!  He has really grown up this year with going to Kindergarten, he is always wanting to help me and his sisters, but yet has really come into being rough and tough!  He has been fun to watch bloom b/c he has come out of his big sister's shadow and has really shown his personality! 

Issy, oh my beautiful Isabelle....if I could freeze her innocents, love and kindness and keep her this way forever I would!  She is the most soft hearted loving little girl.  She is a worry wart who cares about everyone (she gets it from her Grammy Jo), and she is turning 7!!!!!  I can't believe almost 7 years ago Issy was born...time goes to fast!  I have realized that next year she will be a 2nd grader and that is just to old!!!! 

So with all this realization that my children are fastly changing, growing and becoming more of their own, I am going to live in the present as much as I ever have before.  Because tomorrow is not a promise, today was a blessing and yesterday is gone.

Love to all+
Shanna
