Childhood memories

I know, I have been a VERY bad girl.  A very busy bad girl :)  Well first off, I appreciate all the prayers for my family.  Audrey is doing well and actually goes to the doctor tomorrow for a checkup.  She is back to her little two-year-old self!! 

I was thinking the other day about how I used to come home from school and get a good snack and just hang out for a little while.  (actually I would watch soap operas but don't tell my mom :)  So today after I picked Syd up from school I made the girls hot cocoa with tons of mini marshmallows and fresh cookies I had just baked.  I set them up at the coffee table and we sat and watched Elf.  Gracie has never seen it before and she was glued to the tv.  Too funny to see her reaction and Audrey mimicking her laughing.  I grabbed my camera (while I was nursing) and took a few pictures.  So needless to say, I didn't get the best pics but they captured what I wanted.  A sweet memory with my kids.  I have a new goal I set for myself which is to create fun, happy memories with my kids.

Sydney wanted every last drop!  I caught this picture when she didn't know I was taking it.  She is not faking this one ;)

This is the face Audrey gave me when momma said no more cookies!!

This is a classic Gracie picture because she is quite the mess maker and she loves her chocolate.  She wanted to make sure she enjoyed all of it, even if it was with her hands!!

Then there is our little man who got to sit and cuddle with mommy for a few minutes... I love this picture!  I will try to post some more pictures of him soon.  He is changing so much.  He is such a joy!!

Girl!? If I hadn't had to take my time off from blogging this summer, then I so would have been all over you for being gone so long! Very cute pics, sounds like a fun afternoon. Those are definitely the times you will cherish. I like the new changes on your blog. Looks great sista!

Soooo good to hear from you! I know you've been busy. Your blog looks great. Love the green and love the new pic of yourself. I remember coming home from school, grabbing a good snack and watching soap operas until the very last minute we had to get our chores done before mom got home. I'm sure our kids will never do anything like that. What a fun memory for your kids. Very sweet pictures you captured. I LOVE all of them, but the one of Colton is just precious. Pure joy. Thanks for taking the time to blog. I've missed you in the blogging world.

First off, love the green and new pic. Second, I totally did the same thing when I came home from school. Grabbed a snack and headed to the basement (out of Mom's view) to watch Days of Our Lives! Such fun kid pics too. Glad to hear everyone is healthy again.

I love the new colors on your blog. It looks good. Love the pictures and stories too. I think Chrisanna has shared the Days one with me before. Too funny. Colton looks like he is changing a lot. He is so cute! Can't wait to see more pictures.

I love the new colors. Blue is my favorite so I am digging this :) I am glad everything is getting back to normal around your house.

Dare I admit to still sneaking an episode of Days from time to time?

I love doing those fun spontaneous things with my kids! Like you said what memories are made of.
Love the new blog look too! :)
