STOP EVERYTHING!!!

But Seriously! I blinked my eyes and my children are all grown up! That really is how I feel. Elle and Kate both started pre-school (held Elle back and am proud of it, no kindergarten for this house). They both love it.

My hint to Elle growing up. She talked to me for an hour straight the other day about the drama that went on during their play time out side. And I keep hearing her say things like "Are you kidding me Kate". I am sure this means nothing to anyone else and although I enjoy each moment and stage of their lives I really just want a pause button for life. STOP GROWING UP!!


Further evidence of my children growing up.. Gray now runs to the girls when the camera is pulled out to get in the picture. And please take note of the outfit Elle has on. Of course she picked out every detail including my belt that she found and wrapped twice around her little body.


I told you, all grown up. She, wanting to be her older sister chose to wear one of Elle's skirts for the first day.





So this is a random picture but apparently the only one I took of our trip to MD for a cousin's wedding. Truly, Katherine Foulger (now Louis) was the most beautiful bride I have ever seen. And that adorable pregnant lady in the back ground is not me, did I mention that 4 in my family are having babies and we are all due within less than two months. Welcome home Mom and Dad:) They will be traveling the country taking care of us crazy moms (I love that they are finally home). So the picture below is of us at the zoo, so obvious I know. The kids had a great time with their cousins.


And two of the funniest things my kids said while in MD.
One night while brushing our teeth, Kate stated. "Mom and Dad got married in the temple. I am going to get married in the temple." with a big smile on her face. Elle's response "Kate, you always talk about the temple" (which is very true). Kate "I am getting married in the temple". Elle "I am getting married in the temple and I am going to marry Gray because he is so cute and stylish".

Elle and Kate were supposed to be sleeping. I was next door at the wedding reception and a friend had her baby there. It was freezing and the little 6 month old was in shorts and a short sleeved shirt. I told my friend I would run home and grab him some warm things. I went home and was going through our suitcase holding the baby. Elle and Kate rushed out of their beds to welcome this baby. Kate was very excited. Than I understood why. "Mom, he is SO cute. I can't believe he came out of your tummy". So within the 10 minutes I had been away she believed me to birth a child and dress him for a wedding. Just call me super mom.
