The kids

In case you couldn't tell, I love my kids. They make me laugh. A lot. Sure they drive me crazy with constant whining, temper tantrums, and constant messy diapers, but they also teach me a lot about life, myself, and loving others. Each day has new challenges and new rewards. Here's a few random shots of my full-of-life boys.

Caden's new favorite thing to do is 'carry' Grady on his shoulders. As most of you know, Caden does not walk...he runs. This is no different. He loves to run back and forth with Grady on his shoulders. It's quite hilarious watching Britton try to keep up so as not to drop Grady. Pardon Caden's super tacky outfit as he's still wearing his pj pants but has a regular shirt on.

 This is our nightly devotion time. We often change up the room we're in or the book we're reading, but one thing is always a constant...singing the "Obedient" song. This is Caden's most favorite kid song. I just hope the message of it sticks in his brain and comes out in his actions!

 One random day, Caden wanted to sit next to his daddy like it was the greatest honor. Grady whispered to me that he wanted to sit next to his big brother ;o) So, Caden was a sweetheart to let his little bro lean on him.

 Caden got a little distracted...ha!

 'Don't you just want to kiss me all day?!'

 A good friend from home sent us a Christmas package that we got at the beginning of January (packages can sometimes take forever to get here around the holidays). In it was this adorable Christmas outfit for Grady. I assured her he would wear it, and he most certainly did. The people here don't care, and they play 'Jingle Bells' all year long anyway. I love the cut-out on his bootie.

 The cutest little Santa ever.
