  well it's been awhile, hasn't it? not for lack of trying or want to. or pictures or things to talk about.

  i just don't have tiMe : )

  ok, that isn't entirely true ... you always find time for what you really want to do. i don't know why typing one handed has seemed to have gotten harder & feeding chad is the only time i sit down anymore ....

  so hello. welcome back to our life.

  
  he had thee greatest line today -

  he wanted some sort of bag with a handle for whatever it was he needed it for outside. he thought of using a ziploc & making a string handle but it ziplocs are see through & that wasn't going to work .... so he says,
  
  'mom, i wish i had a magic wand, i'd just wand it.
  wand! i'm 18 years old.
  wand! i go to jake's house and we play legos.
  wand!
  wand!'

  speaking of wands : )

  she seriously told me she was wonder-woman. i gave rex this double take like what! where did she get that?? and he was all i know, i know.

  so i shamelessly asked if i could take her picture -
  

  

  
  she asked if i thought the shoes worked okay with the outfit. i said they were perfect.

  
  and 8 1/2 year old little girls are just that .... little girls - xoxo

  who knew but the low hanging tree branch in the back yard can actually be a swing!!

  
  and sister friends make good cushions. i love these two. i love how they giggle with each other in bed at night, i love how their hair is so opposite - straight & brown vs blond with curl.

  we did this photo op last week for my dad.

  
  the behind the scenes .....

  
  you ask ben to be in a picture and 87.9% of the time it never quite works out, but when ben himself decides he wants to be in the picture - he picks out his own clothes, he does his own hair, he smiles his own smile & he could be photographed for hours

  
  and well, slay me .....

  
  and when we were finally done, he got his shot with his grandpa.

  

  

  
  so did the other kids -

  chad's little babysitter -

  april 28th made it official, he's three months old. he's not a newborn anymore ....
  and instead of me telling you about what it's like to be a 3 month old in our family i thought i'd just let him tell you -

  click here -   since xanga & i aren't doing well at uploading videos [grrr!]
  but then come back for the rest : )

  and since we're in the movie making mode .....

  one of the things i've absolutely loved about the kids co-op class is the presentations they do every week - how they stand up in front of their class & give their own little speech, share their own little story, show their own little something. we've brought it home & it's now apart of the new school room. we have different topics throughout the week. i love seeing their personalities ..... last week i recorded ben on my phone.

  here it is -
  if you didn't already watch it when you saw chad : )

  and that's all for now - hopefully more before another 2 weeks goes by!
  but no promises : )
