talking time

jada is obsessed with chatting it up these days!!!
we have "no talking time" these days with jada...bc she can literally just TALK!!

i remember paige having a lot to say...we played 1-2-3 mouse with her all the time...and it worked. jada, on the other hand, well, she doesn't get the game. therefore...the "no talking time" game is working!
this shot is ryan TRYING to leave for work...as you can see, she's still chatting.
honestly, there comes a day {oh so quickly} that they don't want to talk and want to be alone, so we are trying to cherish the good times...but seriously, we all have limits!

i love me some jada...don't get me wrong. chatty cathy and all!

Girl you know I love me some Jada too. She is a hoot. Cracking up because our middle daughter is a chatty Cathy too and the other day on the way to church it was nonstop chat...so much that in my mind the words all started running together and I had to ask her to repeat herself like 3 times. LOL

LOL! Great to be blessed with at least one chatty child, isn't it?
LOVE the photo!
Gotta tell you, Stephanie is 15 and STILL does that with Russ when he's trying to leave for work. LOL

Happy WW!
A friend of mine recently asked if all the chatting at me from my kids sucked the life force out of me. :)

LOL chatty cathy - so sweet! Chloe is chatty as well, but I can't understand a word she says! I still love it, though, but at certain decibels when I'm walking through the mall, it can be a bit embarrassing! ;O)

Hey I just wanted to let you know I'm getting back in the swing of things with the kidz blog, and I'm starting something new called 'Kidz Krew.' Head to the blog to find out more and let me know if you're interested in participating!
I love the picture. That's one you'll look back at and laugh!

What do you do when they turn into chatty teenagers who love to ask a million questions while you're watching your favorite tv series?

that is just so cute. Hayden is chatty like that too and Jake for that matter but with Jake I only get about half of what he says.

LOL Love it! And yes, we can all only take so much. When I have Linc & Ruby jane asking me "WHY?" "BUT WHY?" a million times a day I'm going to say "Go ask your brother." And then that will be my pay back time. LOL
My 6 yr old is very chatty too! I love the photo! She is such a cutie!

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
