Random Moments that I love!






These pictures have to be some of my favorite ever! The other morning, Miley rolls out of bed as the kids are walking out the door to school. After I said good-bye to the older three, I turn around to see Miley in the back yard with her bubbles. I love the hair that is always a disaster in the morning, but the T-shirt and polk-a-dot undies are just too adorable.






This is me and Coleman after school, waiting for Mckenna and Caden to get finished with running club. Coleman found my camera in my purse and went crazy taking pictures.






Saige now likes to wake up early, so if Chad is running that day, he will take her in the stoller with him. This is her after one of her 6 mile trips.






I always complain after dinner how I can never get the kitchen completely cleaned up since there is always something that gets in the way- mostly Saige getting on top of the dishwasher or climbing the stairs, she still doesn't know how to get down from. So one evening Chad needed to mow the lawn and he decided to take Saige with him. I was very impressed and as you can see it kept the other kids occupied just watching. I did get the kitchen cleaned and I told Chad we could make a habit of this.











1st Day of School




It certainly didn't feel like it should have been the first day of school the first week of Aug. but at the same time, it's nice to have them back on a schedule and no complaining about nothing to do.



Trip to the Springs








We were originally going to Colorado Springs to go to their Zoo. But then we became cheap, and decided to go to the Garden of the Gods again. You can't beat seeing beauty for free!






Even though we weren't far from our own beds, there is something kids love about sleeping in hotels!





Saige loved the Hotel room, but mom did not! All Saige wanted to do was crawl all over the germ filled hotel room floor, looking for someones (even more dirty) shoe to play with. I vowed to never go anywhere again until she walks.






We looked up on the internet for a breakfast place that might have organic, gluten-free selections and this Loftys came up. It was not at all organic or gluten free, and it was a one man show, while he took smoke breaks inbetween serving us. I guess you could say, it was an experience. The kids just thought it was cool going out to eat, since that does not happen very often, especially with all of us together.
