Crazy kids

Just look how AdOrAbLe her face is! Don't you just want to squeeze her? She was climbing on my lap when I was trying to take pictures...

She is getting a little more hair on top so I tried clipping a bow in her hair. She will NOT hold still at all. And I think she still needs more hair. It just looks funny. The only time this little girl will hold still is when she is drinking her bottle. She is quite serious about her bottle.

Parker was just being crazy, but you can see his band-aid on his finger. He is not trying to flip anyone off. He smashed his finger awhile ago when helping Daniel move some bricks. His finger nail ended up falling off. He has been wearing a band-aid ever since he smashed it. First because it was bleeding and then to protect it from getting snagged while his nail was slowly falling off, and now to protect his tender finger while a new nail grows back. He will be wearing a band-aid for a VERY l-o-n-g time.
Bensen loves to throw all my pillows on the floor everyday! I always tell him no, but he has so much fun that I am not very good at being forceful about it...


One night that Daniel was out of town we had pancakes and eggs for dinner. The kids eat it so well and love it. Daniel does not love it. He does think you should have breakfast for dinner. It is always nice to feed the kids something I know they will eat when I don't have Daniel around. The night before we had pasta with Alfredo sauce and leftover ham because I knew they would gobble that up.

I gave Addie some pancake and egg too. She loved it!

Her little feet were kicking the whole time. She has crazy feet. They kick when she is happy or mad. So funny.
The other day a giant Mosquito Hawk got in our house. (They were out of control around here for awhile. The good thing though was that the Mosquitos haven't been very bad.) I didn't even know a bug got in. And then Staucie started screaming about one behind the couch. I asked who wanted to get it and Bensen, may brave, barely 2-year-old, decided that he would. I gave him some tissues and tried to position them so he could grab it. He ended up chasing it around. Every time he would try and get it, he would just touch it and then it would fly away. I ended up lightly smacking it with a shoe one time that it was on the floor. It was injured enough that Bensen could get it. He threw it in the toilet and flushed it! I love that some of my kids are not afraid of bugs. Parker ran up the stairs and watched from the landing as I would have if I could :)


Bensen's eyes always close when he smiles. I am pretty sure this came from his Grandpa Lees :)

Staucie wanted me to take a picture of Ariel. I agreed if Staucie would be in the picture too.

Parker apparently wasn't up to having is photo taken. That, or maybe he is just always trying to touch the camera!
And this is a picture of Perdy, the Dalmation. This is not Staucie. In case you didn't know.
