happy easter!Hi there...so it's been a while. It feels like I've been on a roller coaster for the past few months. Some breathtaking loops, thrilling turns, memorable moments mixed with moments when all I can do it hang on, scream and hope I don't throw up. But would I trade this ride for anything? Not a thing. I heard Seinfeld say that he loved parenthood--all of it, even when it is terrible I love it, he said. I would have to agree. Even when the kids are freaking out and a mutiny threatens Tyler and I look at each other and just have to smile (or laugh, or cry--depends on the day). These are the moments that I try to soak in and remember for the days when our kids are grown and the house is clean and quiet. When I think about it I start to miss these days already. I love, love, love my life and feel so grateful for it.
So, I think I'll start with the present and work backwards and try to catch up.
Today at lunch Garrett was trying to count to a google (he made it all the way to 100 and then skipped straight to a google!) It is his favorite number and he is aiming to live to be that old--good luck Garrett! Anyway right in the middle of the counting Grant pointed at me and in a loud voice said "Give me back my fillet-o-fish!!" So I've been laughing all day hearing his little voice singing th McDonald's commercial. He quotes movies non-stop. His current favorites are from American Idol, singing "pants on the ground," and from Night at the museum, "Oh, he's so cute. Just like a little piece of cous-cous." (said with a lisp).

What a beautiful family you have! Do you know how much you inspire me? I think that every post you write has something to teach and uplift me. Thank you!!!!
Miya and Shayla look like TWINS! Wow!
It's good to hear from you. :) I think about you all the time!
I have to agree you do have a beautiful family. I'm glad you are sane or insane enough to enjoy the terrible times too, I need to do that more, mostly Garrett and I just look at each other and say "We will live to retirement!"
She's that big already? Oh man. Such cute kids! Glad you enjoy the insanity! =)
I was excited to see a new post! Loved the pictures! Hope you are enjoying a bit of spring with your family. Summer is just around the corner!
