" Tell Me what it is you plan to do with your ONE wild and precious life ?" ~ Mary Oliver

These crazy kids of mine..

There have many times in my life that things have amazed me, but my kids seem to do it on a daily basis. I am posting just a few pictures from the last few months. But each of the pictures captures them so well. They each have such unique, and differnt personalities, but at the same time they are so similar it's scary.

Paden and Garett played on the same Jr. High football team this year. It was so much fun to watch them play together. Nothing like brothers out for blood. They went UNDEAFTED all season, and had very few games that were even close. Another round of Panther football players in the making. It's pretty neat to watch them learn and grow together. This picture was taken after the last game, I needed one good one of them together in uniforms. As This is Paden's last year in Jr. so next year they won't be together. This by far is one of my very favorites pictures of these 2 together.  I hope they always remember how they felt that day !


Then we have Taylor. What an important part to our family. Without her we would definately not have near the excitment around here that we do. I can't always say it's good excitement :), but we LOVE her and her strong willed personality. Her favorite place to be is anywhere her Dad is. She is most definately a daddy's girl. She loves to drive her brothers crazy, (not that it is to hard)  but then turns around and does the sweetest things for them. She is a spitfire. As far as she is concerned there isn't anything she can't do ! And as long as she believes that -- look out world !!!!


And where would we be without this little man ? He brings so much joy and laughter into our home. All of my kids are pretty quick witted(they get that from Mark), but this boy is above and beyond  anything I could ever imagine. This picture absolutely captures his personality. This is him 24/7. And he makes us laugh just as much. He is growing up so fast, he loves to be with his brothers on whatever adventure they are embarking on. But is just as happy to hang out and play with Taylor. He LOVES his DS and as many ball games and late night trips as he's been to in his life, it's been a lifesaver numerous times.

 It's easy for all parents to say they have great kids.... But i truley believe I do. They are hard workers, good students, loving, kind and caring people that are willing to help others with whatever they can. I hope you enjoy the pictures and a little gimpse into their lives.. {{{{HUGS}}}}
