Friday Fun!

Another "Photography by Hunter" session!

I love pictures like this - they look so much alike. As scary as it is - Quinn is a lot like Hunter

Konnor's new friend, Jack,for the day. Both Cardinals fans - GO CARDS!

Who ever invented monkey bars? They give me nightmares for obvious reasons.

Hunter was so proud of himself

My friend Jenna, eating alongside our, what? 10 kids we had total today between 4 of us? at Ikea! The picture doesn't do it justice..but it was incredibly cute (babies in strollers) - all under the age of FOUR!

Quinn and Hunter's feast

Check out the size of the bucket compared to the faucet....and he's waiting for it to "get fulled up!"


Has anyone ever asked you if you eat your kids? I used to think Sanjog was crazy when he'd ask people....but as the years have gone by and my love for being a Mom has grown even deeper...I have caught myself saying "I just want to eat you up!" more than you can imagine! I just want to eat these guys to pieces - they are so incredibly cute and loving. The unconditional love they have is to die for. Everything about them is amazing. Truly miraculous little beings they are! Really. Hunter as we were getting ready today comes up to me and says, in his cute little baby voice and in all seriousness...."Mommy...does Miss and Piss rhyme?!" Well, Hunter, you bet it does. What's a Mom to say when someone with that adorable little face, long eyelashes, sweet little curious voice approaches you with a question like that?!

Anyway....I love the days that we just get to "play it by ear!" Nothing set in stone planned - don't have to be anywhere at a certain time (other then getting Konnor to school on time but we pretty much have that down pat now!). The boys wanted to swim in the bathtub this morning while I showered so I figured that would consume our whole day considering the amount of swim stuff they drug out and all their swim gear....however, we got showered and cute within about an hours time and off we went to IKEA to hang out with some friends and have lunch. The kids did great - there were 4 of us Mom's and 10 kids total, all under the age of 4. Can I tell you the looks we got? And the kids were all really well behaved..it was just the fact that we took up the entire aisle everywhere we went. Not to mention, we clogged up the kids dining area!

We had some time to kill after lunch so we went to get a tire repaired on the car and lo and behold of course there was a gas station next door so what else would Hunter want to do but to go get some CANDY! So we loaded up on sugar...and off we went to share some with Konnor after school. We first ran home to pack the bikes/scooters/sand toys so we could hit the park up after we grabbed Konnor, because after all it was 78 degrees today! Who would pass up a day at the park?! Konnor made a new friend from the minute we got there. He had his Cardinals shirt on and saw this little guy walking up with one very similar - it was "friends at first sight!" It's been so much fun to see Konnor grow socially - he's a little social bug now. Other than keeping an eye on him, we really didn't see much of him for 2 hours.

We came home, played a quick game of Handy Manny Memory, which might I add, I totally lost. I am so not good at that game...Konnor kicked my butt. He's super competitive so I try my best...but my best wasn't good enough today!

Dinner...bath...and the boys were S.L.E.E.P.I.N.G at 6:58pm! I nearly died. This never happens!

Still planning on running Aunt Steph's school's 5K at the hilly Papago Park tomorrow - did I say running? Yeah...we'll see. I'd like to try...but with a 25 pound stroller filled with 70 pounds of kid...not sure I can prove myself SuperWoman! It'll be fun either way...we love that area and the weather so far this week has been unbeatable.

12 days until Grandma and Jakob arrive....we cannot wait!!!!
