Fun Pics

Mia and her "kids." She asked me to take her picture with her "kids" on her lap. Looks like she has about as much lap space as I do when all the kids want to be held! Funny to me that she says they are her kids because she tells me almost everyday that she doesn't ever want to have kids or get married because she wants to live with me forever (must remember this one during the teenage years). Mia and the twins are frequently telling Matt and I that they love us "this much" with their hands out wide. It totally squeezes your heart. She told me this morning that she loved my face and hair and that's why she wants to live with me forever. Hilarious!

Mia and the twins playing "train" while Jackson is at school. Mia and the little boys have bonded since Jackson started school. The three of them start next Tuesday and I think they are all really looking forward to it.


Jackson helping load the dishwasher (momma loves that!) Jackson and Mia are really starting to grow up. Jackson has figured out how to do so many things. He is such a smart kid. I think he can control the TV remote and computer better than some adults can! We read as homework everyday after school, but Matt and I have been asking him to read the books. He really does such a great job. I cannot believe how many words he recognizes and remembers from time to time. He loves school. I really like it that he has some of the same kids in his kindergarten class as in his preschool and Sunday school. We went to our church picnic a few Sundays ago and Jackson and Mia both had friends there that they were excited to see from school. One little girl in Jackson's class has a sister in Mia's class so they were all playing together. At the picnic, Jackson ran over to his friend and grabbed her hand then brought her over for us to meet introducing her as "Charlotte from my school." So cute that he thought to introduce us! I love it that even though we are in a bigger town, we are able to have our own little community with church and school. Although I am a little sad that they are growing so fast, I am really enjoying seeing their personalities develop and seeing what kind of people they are going to be. Fun to see them grow!
