First day of school!

Abby is in Pre k-4 and Isaac is in 1st grade...time flies when you're having fun...

Love these 2!

visual story telling...

My kids love taking over my phone...If I ever don't respond to your text it's because they are playing with it and chances are I'll never know you tried to get a hold of me! One of their favorite things to do with the phone is take pictures of each other. I got a new phone so I wanted to transfer all my old pictures to my computer and while I was doing so I found something that made me crack up...

These are from last summer(ish) I believe, in my mom's backyard. Isaac was the photographer...and I really hope the next thing he did after this last picture was help his sister!!

I am still laughing (of course Abby was ok!) Kids are too funny...

Daddy daughter dance

Abby attends preschool at the elementary school in our town. As a fundraiser they hosted a daddy/daughter dance for all the girls at the school. Abby was so excited that she got to go with her daddy.

This picture just melts my heart. She is growing up so fast. They danced to "Butterfly Kisses" and Richie got to explain to Abby what the song was about (and he told me he had a huge knot in his throat the whole time :) I think she will always be daddy's little girl!

Can you believe...

This sweet hill is just behind our apartment?!?



This is a good thing, because it looks like this is going to be a LONG winter...

The list

I feel like the kids and I spend a lot of time in the car during the week which I guess isn't really true. It might be because sometimes my kids are literally pulling each other's hair out while I'm driving. I'm surprised we are all still alive because my arms aren't very long and I constantly have to reach back and stop the madness. Anyway, I do have to give these two some credit because sometimes they are just so polite to each other and have some cute conversations while we drive. I wanted to document this one because I found it to be pretty hilarious.

Isaac: Abby what do you want for Christmas?

Abby: I'm not sure yet Isaac. I think I want lots of princess things!

Isaac: Well I want (cue LONG list of toys...) Hey Abby I know what we can get! You should ask for one of those BIG iPhones!!! (translation: an iPad :)

There are two things that made me crack up here. One of which is the fact that Isaac is smart enough to try and manipulate his sister's Christmas list. The other, that my 5 year old son thinks there is a chance that they will get a $500 present....HAHAHA. These kids are something else! What happened to the days of asking for Barbies and Hot Wheels?!?
