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+

  1. Love your post - I tell my kids every day they are growing up too fast and I'm going to shrink them up so they will stay my babies forever. They get a big laugh out of that. Your family is adorable.
