best of the best WW

Brooke and Jada started this thing this week where i'm beginning to wonder if they are morphing into one person.  here's how it goes...

b: "oh for Heaven's"
jk: "sake"

not just once...every single time.  from the other room, in the middle of a conversation, whatever.  cracks me up.  i love that they love each other...they just need to be a little less freaky about it!

Sofie is on the move...how in the world did that happen?  when you are 22" and 13# you should not be able to move around so much!  she looks so funny and adorable...notice all the afghan's strategically placed where she is playing...i swear i don't normally have odd colored blankies all over the place {wink}

And a strange thing happened this week...it's called the "i never thought it would happen to me thing".  i went to hug paige (13) and she looked at me like i was a criminal.  it's no longer okay for me to show affection in front of family either.  ok...i will be okay...i think.

what says love more than Nanna and Papa with their girls???
this just makes me happy.  i love my parents (aren't they cute?) and they will do anything for us or the grandkids.  they are such a blessing...
join me with angie at Wordful Wednesday
all the cool kids are doing it!

Oh, I know my heart is going to break when public shows of affection are no longer accepted.

Love that the girls have that little special saying together!

your family is beautiful! I can't believe that your baby is getting around when she is so small! That must be ADORABLE!!
How sad that your daughter is entering adolescence when you/your affection will not be cool!
I dread the day. Although, for me, it will be more like my son growing up, getting married, and never calling me!!! WAAAAH!

Just stopping by to thank you for your blogathon comment. :) You have a beautiful family. I too am the mother to four precious babies. Although my almost 14 year old would beg to differ on the "baby" part. Looks like you might have yourself one of those too. ;) I can't wait to read your stories and your blog. I can already tell that you have a heart a big as anything. Happy Wednesday!

I love your blog... so real! Awesome!! I have a 12 yr old so I know what look you are referring to ;)

I used to be like your girls are with my sister. We are only 11 months apart and we could finish each others sentences and even thoughts. Most people assumed we were twins though we didn't look exactly alike.
Sorry about the end of PDA. That must be a hard one to swallow!

Thanks for coming by today! The kids haven't stopped me from the hugs or kisses yet. My son (13) still tells me he loves me in front of his friends. I hope I never lose that with them. Loved all your pictures -- I really love the one with the grandparents. That one needs to be put in a frame. Much Love

random acts...GNO

over at GNO, there's a few of us who decided to challenge ourselves last week to perform a random act of kindness.   i talked with my girls and hubs about what we could do... we reserve some funds each month out of our giving to put towards a current or urgent need that we find.  i think it's important to let the kids see how we give as family...and they should be part of that decision too . as we were talking, and eating chinese...come on, you know there would be eating...i open my fortune cookie.  and this is it!! i was out getting a few minutes of alone time and decided to pay hubs forward by getting jiffy lube to do the oil change.  while i was there, i remembered how hard it was being a single mom.  i remembered that the little things, like oil changes, suddenly became bigger things and honestly, more expensive things.  *light bulb!!!* thomas rang me up for my oil change and asked if they had any scheduled appointments that i could pay for.  he looked at me a little odd...

sadness

on the way home from DD {{bc apparently there was NO preschool today for jk...it's no prob, really...we just rushed around and scrambled and got in the car and then when we got there and there was no school...well, there were tears...thus DD}} , there came a moment of sincere sadness in my heart. jk: " mommy, i want to look like brookie" "why sweetie? you are the perfect jada" jk: "i don't like my brown skin. i want peach skin like brookie" i just sank. does that not make ur heart want to break? a 3 yo is struggling already with her skin being different. then, this happened: brooke: "jada, god made you and he loves you. he does it all right the very first time" then, i think my heart grew three sizes . jada threw a big smile up on her face and said, "ok. god loves me" now, if we all could just do that. god loves us...he doesn't make mistakes...he makes perfect works of art. sometimes there are scratches in the art.

tuesday tribute---for tuesday

go blog yourself has been on my reading list for quite sometime...and so i really came to love little tuesday whitt and her whole sweet fam and became involved in praying for them in tuesday's battle with that stinky neuroblastoma . tuesday's parents are totally amazing...they inspire me! although tuesday went to play with jesus not so long ago, there have been so many people that are changed because of the courage and strength and honesty of the whitt family. on the day of celebration of tuesday's life, a number of folks who couldn't make it out to the funeral, took their kids on a 'wagie ride', which was one of tuesday's fav things. we all posted up our pics...shared our experiences with each other...and hugged our kiddos a little tighter. my kiddos wagie ride is here . from that precious little tuesday and her honorary wagie ride, a blog spawned...of course...and it is dedicated to nothing more than, in their words, "to keep track of lives touc
