Moments

So yesterday as I was typing, Kyra sat at the table eating and I

turned around to ask her if she wanted to read books and take a nap.
She said "uh-huh" so sweetly, so I thought ok just let me finish this
email and then I'll put her down. I turned around not 2 minutes later
and found her on the chair sound asleep. It was so cute.

I love moments like this

The third picture is from our family

reunion this last weekend. I love watching little people discover the
world. It makes me sad when I realize this is the last time any of my
kids will be awed by water, or discover how their fingers work or

figure out they can take their diaper off and run free anytime they
want. (this is my favorite age) I've heard screaming more than a few

times lately from the kids that Kyra is out where the neighbors are
going to see her naked. And look what I found today sound asleep

We are moving up to bigger, better, more
complicated concepts. I'm going to miss the simpleness of little
ones. But then they grow up, the other night I got home and Bryanna
had Kyra wrapped in a blanket rocking her in the rocking chair.

Another moment.

In all the chaos that usually rules my house, life is also
full of moments. You know, the kind that make it all worth it, or
least make you feel like your moving in the right direction.
Sometimes they are obvious and sometimes they are a little hidden.
They seem to pop up at the most random moments. At least around here.

But when they do come, I love them and cherish them.

I'm always amazed at the magical moments you can have with umbrellas. So I just bought 5 new umbrellas, because the ones from last year, and the year before are all trashed. I told the girls if they ruined this ones they owed me the money for them. It's no wonder they don't last, almost the minute we got home all 5 kids went out and began playing under their umbrellas.

Hiding places, movie stars and tea parties all involve umbrellas.

They were doing their best to use them even without the rain.

I guess it's a good thin we got new ones because this was the rain storm Bryanna had her field trip in.

Hope you can see that rain coming down.

The kids are loving the chicks. They aren't so little now though. Catching them

has become a bit of a game.

Going's on

We went, braved the cold, and sat on hard benchees for 3 hours so Kerry could take his kids to

Supercross 2011.

It was awesome!!. Cambry hated every minute of it and couldn't hold still because she kept trying to find a warmer spot on the bench, under the blanket, under the bench, or in the middle of everyone.

Cambry before she got cold and bored.

We had dinner and got to see bikers before the show, and it was pretty fun

Kylan Loved the races. He never got cold because he spent the whole time jumping on the bench so excited every time a racer came out. He only fell into (or landed on ) the guy in front of us a couple of times. The poor couple in front of us were such good sports. They teased Kylan when he jumped on them and then they helped me catch Kyra a couple of time before she fell down the bleachers. They got more than they bargained for that night.

Hope you can see all the jumps. It really was more exciting in real life.

Bryanna really liked it. She even tried her hand at taking a few pictures.
She thought we ought to record it for all you poor folks who didn't get to come.
But I figure you can get a better view and better cinematography on TV
So she just took pictures instead, I really should show her how to focus with my camera.

Kyra Had a great time. Though it was cold, her nose is red only because she face planted it on the pavement!.. She was probably the warmest one there with all her layers and wrapped up in dad's lap. She clapped and got excited every time the bikes came roaring out.

Here are some more fun pics. of the goofy children in my house.
