Update and a revisit to blogging

What the... Who blogs anymore? With Instagram and Facebook blogging definitely is not as popular, but I think it's time to revisit the idea. I've got so many cute pictures scattered throughout my phones and computer with nowhere to post them. Maybe I should get a bunch of those snapfish books printed up. 

Our little family sure had grown since the lady post. I had an uncomfortable observation theother day realizing my oldest was now 10 years old... And that in another 10 she could be married or a mother herself... Or just moved out and off creating her place in the world. It's a frightening thought. I have enjoyed these young stages more than words can express, and after looking through a few older posts my heart is filled with finds memories. Here are a couple of recent pictures showing how big our children have grown, and the newest additions to our crew.

Hudson and Opal are the youngest and keep us on our toes. They are the cutest little trouble makers we couldn't live without. Josie Hayden Micah and Mason are great helpers with them and adore them (most of the time) as much as we do.

There's too many kids in this tub
There's too many elbows to scrub
I just washed a behind that I'm sure wasn't mine

Drawing game

Tonight we played a board Game with the younglings and then played a drawing game many of you may have played before. The one where you draw a head and gold the paper down so Only the neck line is exposed, and pass it to the next person. Do the same for the waist, and we sometimes add a line for somebody else to draw just the feet. These are some of my favorite creations from the ugly things we created.

Can you guess who drew each part?

Mad boys

I told Hayden and Micah to put their heads together and look mad at each other like a boxing faceoff picture. Silly boys. I think Micah nailed it.

Little puppy Parker

He doesn't like dressing up as much as his brothers and only keeps a costume on for a minute or two but those two minutes are pretty cute :)

Mini superheros

This Is pretty much a daily routine. They have about 5 super hero costumes and every day we have mini superheros roaming the house. Who said it had to be Halloween to dress up? This rule does not apply here

Sleepy head in my bed

Who is this sleepy head on my side of the bed? She wasn't there when I fell asleep...
