like me...or not

one of the really funny things is that no matter whether your children are biological or not, they just become a like you...i see it all the time in my jada.

the girl has some mad fashion style...which she totally gets from ryan. i do the hoodies and jeans, but mr. banana republic and jada are totally shopping buds.

and then there's the coffee...while staying with grandma, jada drank "coffee". ok, so it's milk with a little coffee to make it look different, but she loves loves loves "coffee". hmmm...wonder if you know anyone else in this fam who adores coffee?
and then there are things that i'm like..."yep, that's not us". especially when it's not the cute stuff...like when she gets her shoes on and this is what it looks like.
{i know, right? makes your feet hurt!}
...only better that this is the "fixed" version. yep, that's definitely biological.
{or that's what we're going with...come on, it makes me feel better!}
either way, she's really cute...and growing up so fast! right now, she's sitting with sofia in the cow chair and cuddling her...now that's a great big sis!

She is adorable. I don't know how children can walk with shoes on the wrong feet...my daughter does it and i tell her and she says it doesn't bother her, she doesn't want to switch them. Can you say strong willed?

JK is adorable. And i completely understand where you are coming from. My addi couldn't act more like me and her big sister if I had actually given birth to her. Maybe it's because we just love them so darn much! We are awful lucky to have such great kiddos!

IT really is amazing how many of our traits they inherit. They love us so much that they want to do what we do.

You're little Jada is quite the Princess. She is so beautiful.

Thank you for stopping today! Happy WW! :-)

There are quite a few of you with babies that I have been following for at least a year and I am always amazed how much they have changed. She just keeps getting more and more adorable.

She is so beautiful. I so get the is this environment of genetics thing. All my girls have rhythm and I don't. Unfortunate for my son, he got his musical ability from us....

she is so darn cute and makes me think of my daughter Gabi when she was little...a bit of a spitfire but funny as heck.
Love of coffee? Hmm, I can't imagine who she got that from. ;o)

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
