Fun Things in Life

Life with my kiddos is never boring, they keep life fun and are doing their very best to teach me skills in life such as patience and multi-tasking and how to laugh instead of cry in a crisis. 

 Mckenna crawled into the car all by herself, I thought it was adorable and started taking pictures, Alex was sitting at the table coloring, when he heard the camera he said "Mom I can't take a picture right now I'm busy." That kid makes me laugh.

 Cupcake batter mustache!

 This was a particularly difficult week with my little three year old. He wanted to help me with the dishes so I told Andrew to take a picture so I could remember the happy moments too.

 This little girl is getting to be not so little anymore.

 Playing play dough. While at the doctors office recently Alex told me when he is a doctor I can call him "Dad Doctor Alexander Joseph Alton."

 Baby Girl turned nine month old! She gained 2 1/2 pounds between her eight month weight check and her nine month appointment so the doctor is no longer upset with me. This little girl pulls herself up all the time and even tries to stand by herself. She has gotten very vocal and lets us know when it is not okay to walk away while feeding her or when dad comes home and tries to walk by without picking her up she lets us know that that will not be permitted. Mckenna has figured out how to crawl on her knees and she gets around very well. She has gotten more needy, and comes to find me to have me hold her all the time. She doesn't like to be put down. Mckenna gets into everything, Alex is constantly asking me to keep her from getting his cars, he is good at finding her cars she can play with when asked though. Mckenna thinks it is very funny to open the kitchen cupboards over and over while mom tries to close it over and over.

I love that these two love each other so much!

 Someone got into the fireplace and ate the charred wood while I was in the shower.

When talking with Alex one evening he said, "I love Braxton and Emery and Korbin, yeah I do. I'm so impressed that I said that."

Being a mom is so so hard but these kids are so great and I'm so glad that I get to spend my days with them. They make make me laugh and smile and cry and I love them more than I ever though possible.
