Today we woke up with everyone feeling well again. A day at home with no where to go, no work, no playdates, no errands, no sick kids, and nothing to get in our way of a FUN day together. I listened to Haydon and Aliya play together in the playroom, how lucky they are to have each other. The best of friends. Aliya asked Haydon to play barbies with her so he did only he played "hero barbies" he plays with HULK and she's barbie. While she is dreaming of dancing with a prince, Haydon in scheming up a plan to save her from the evil witch. I love knowing that they enjoy being with each other so much. Aliya says to Haydon everyday, "Haydon you are my bef friend". It doesn't get much sweeter than that. I turned on some music and Nevaeh giggled and giggled as we bounced around the room. Oh how I love her smile. She has a way about her, so even tempered and peaceful. She is truley a joy to have, how blessed can one person be. Apparently Haydon and Aliya heard our fun and came to join us. We danced and laughed until my legs hurt and my stomach ached. Jay heard the fun and left his office to join us. The kids ran to get their instruments and sang and danced. We all crashed on the floor in exhaustion. I grabbed the camera for some quick shots but of course little miss naughty pants was only being herself. Uncooperative, stubborn and cute as ever. Aliya asked daddy for a "woopie doo ride" and being that Daddy is wrapped around her little finger, despite his recovering back, couldn't say no. She demanded him this way and that way and he obeyed her every command. If she could she would "bippity boppity boo" everyone to her tune. Family home evening was "fire safety" we talked to the kids about what to do in case there was a fire in the middle of the night. Afterwards they wanted to try out our new plan. So Jay set off the fire alarm (which Nevaeh thought was funny) as the kids pretended to be asleep in their beds. Surprisingly they did exactly as we had explained. They thought is was so much fun to role play and we felt better knowing they're more prepared. We ended the night with a little raspberry sherbet and tucked the kids into bed. It's amazing to me how fast they grow. Jay and I look at them and just can't believe they're ours. What beautiful amazing children. I only wish this precious time with them wasn't going by so quickly. How truley blessed we are.
Navy has just learned how to wrinkle her nose, it's so dang cute!
Giddy up Daddy!
I am now short one eye! ;O)
Nevaeh thought it was just as much fun to suck on the tamborines as it was to bang them together.
I can't tell if Aliya is singing along or the reality that her brother has gone crazy is just setting in.
Shake your bootie!
Callie I am so glad we reconnected, it is so fun to see your cute family and what your life is like...it looks just about like mine right now! Ben's brother doesn't live in Nampa anymore so we don't go there anymore but we are in Utah quite a bit. We will be there during the last week of July and most of August this year. Ben is in his last year of Dental school and then we are thinking of moving to southern oregon...but we're not sure. Ben is a cowboy at heart and he wants LAND...I just want four seasons, some green and not an apartment. so that's whats going on with us. I am so glad I get to "talk" to you again, let's do better about keeping in touch. Hey how was Stacee's wedding? did you like her husband?
