Mischevious Mornings - Must Brush Teeth!

The last few days I have found Kailea Sue on top of the bathroom counter (how is she getting up there?) with a toothbrush and toothpaste. And when I walk in; she smiles and says, "Teeth, please!" I finally got a picture this morning. Thought I could share! :-)

Cookie Time - Little Chef's

Treston and Aiden often help me make lunch/dinner or cookies. Ofcourse cookies are their favorite. Treston often tells me he wants to be a chef and a worker to build a house when he grows up. Aiden wants to be a dancer and a chef. So hey, no matter what I won't have to cook when I get older! :-) I am super excited about that! The one thing I can not understand is... I always help them measure out the ingredients... but the cookies never turn out the way they are supposed to. I am not sure what happens? Oh well...No matter what, they always taste good!

Pretty Little Girls = Heartache for Brothers

Forgot my camera today... but had to tell. We went to the beach today; always a fun time. While we were there a "pretty" little girl came over and started talking to the boys. Treston was the first to be completely stricken with her... followed her around smiling the whole time. (Completely cute!)... well then Aiden decided he liked her too! Treston first, nicely told him to back off; Aiden didn't listen. Treston then took the "pretty" girls hand and they walked along the beach. Aiden again tried his luck at stealing the little girls attention. Treston warned him this time, with a little shove. (Which he got in trouble for). The "pretty" little girl thought all the attention was wonderful... if they fight over girls at 3 and 4... how is it going to be at 15 and 16?! I am scared. As we were leaving, Aiden held my hand to the car and said, "Mom, but I wanted that pretty girl!" All the way home Treston just kept saying, "I will miss that pretty girl!" So, I guess they don't want to marry me anymore? ;-(

Stepping Stones

So yesterday was Kailea Sue's first day in NURSERY!!! What a wonderful stepping stone for us. Kailea has been the most attached little one. Such a joy, but always needed mom every minute. I am sure it mostly because her dad left when she was 5 weeks old and didn't get back until she was 9 months old. I snuggled and held her all the time.. she really was a saving grace for me during that time. I would chase two rowdy (but wonderful) boys all day, and then get to relax while snuggling Kailea. So... she has turned 18 months and actually lasted 1 whole hour without me. :-) This is super great since I have had to try and be the 1st Counselor in the Primary with her tagging along everywhere. It is fun that she is getting older; but also a little sad. She is the last one... the baby! ;-) Being a "single mom" most of the time while going to church has been a huge struggle... but I know the gospel is true and we will be blessed for "enduring to the end!"
