park time and WW

we're park peeps...
and it seems that the park is timeless.

my kiddos actually get along at the park (really)
this is the vomit-maker, spin master 6000...
a spinning, swirly disc that the kids sit on...and think is fun.  yuck.

the park is a place where you help your sister...without being asked.

and you climb to new heights...and smile for a picture too!

and give some really funny looks...

and more spinning things...that only kids can handle!
did i mention, we love the park??
coem and join us in Wordful Wednesday at Seven Clown Circus...angie's got it going on.

We love the park too but go more often when it's cooler here, like now. Going in the morning or early evening when it's brisk puts things into a new perspective for me and can easily turn a frown upside down. Just something about it...
So much fun at the park, thanks for stopping by. A magical WW to you!

What a wonderful day! We love the park too. As an added bonus, it wears out the kids so they go to bed earlier. YIPEE, mom and daddy time! Now, if only it would cool down in these here parts. Yesterday was ninety something. Ugh. I guess when you live on the surface of the sun, you can't expect much. Great photos!

This past weekend the Princess decided to jump off of the merry-go-round while it was spinning at top speed. Faceplant!!

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.
So, it's been a while since i posted...years, in fact.  I stumbled upon to an old post and thought, I need to write more.  So here we are now... My family looks completely different and times are different, but we are still just the same people.  We've added one...P got married 2 years ago and now we have A.  I will talk more about that later.  But isn't our pic soooo cute?   For now, life is crazy and wild and sometimes completely unpredictable, but we are still praying and playing together.  Ryan and I are on our 21st year of marriage (woot woot), and the kids are well, old!  P is 25 and happily married to A, and they are celebrating 2 years next month.   B is a junior,  has a job and is blowing our minds with all she is achieving in this world, and she's one of the funniest kids on the planet.  She's grown an amazing amount in all her therapies and in life in general...she's an advocate for all who struggle, and autism does not define her...she defines hersel
