love when it is fun...

At my house there is a lot of hitting, kicking, crying, yelling... catch my drift?! So when the kids are playing together instead of fighting it is so much fun. All the good moments make up for the bad in a heartbeat.

The kids are really into cold showers and sprinklers these days so we have spent a lot of time lately running through the sprinklers.
I love this action shot. As any good parent would do- I caught this classic moment on film rather than helping poor Camiron. (but i do have to say this fall did not faze her at all. Braden tortures her so throughly that she is pretty much made of steel these days!)






We love bubble baths- heavy on the bubbles. And "bubbles" is one of Camirons favorite words- (along with turtle, baby, and Barney- strange, I know)

prayer of a child

Braden helps us with the prayer all the time, and sometimes even attempts to say it on his own but usually loses track of what he is doing and we have to jump in to help. But tonight he decided to say it all on his own- and said a great prayer. I knew if I didn't write it down I would forget it. So for my benefit.... here is his prayer

"Heavenly Father. Thank you for today. Thank you for the store... and the park... and the store... and the bank. playing at the park with Hailey (said Haweley) and Mia and playing on the slide. Singing songs... (breaks into song at this point) Bob the builder, can we fix it, Bob the builder, yes we can. and Twinkle Twinkle and Hanky Panky (which I am guessing should have been hokey pokey). and going to the park and playing with friends. Thank you that i could play with my scoopers. Thank you for mommy and daddy and camiron and braden and camiron. Help me sleep good and have fun. Jesus christ.. amen


I thought this was pretty great. He didn't even take a break. I thought i was going to lose him when he broke into song! Way to go Brado!
