Kylie and Pluto

This is one of my favorite pictures that we took on our vacation. Kylie was so in love with all the characters that we stood in line to meet them multiple times.

Fast Asher

I was loading kids into the van when Asher suddenly took off down the sidewalk. He was running at his personal top speed, arms pumping, legs churning, head bent low as he concentrated. (I love that he hasn’t out grown his toddler run quite yet.)

I finally caught up with him and took his small hand in mine. Asher looked up at me, out of breath and grinning widely.

“Mom,” he cried with obvious satisfaction. “These shoes are SO fast!”

Funny Maddie

Braden was struggling with his carseat buckle and I asked Joshua to help him. Maddie instantly responded, “It’s okay, Joshy, I’ll do it. You can take the day off.”

Madalyn gave me a big hug and told me, “Mommy, I love you so much that I want to hug you forever. I know lots of people say stuff like that, but I really, really mean it!”
