The joys of life

My kids are such a joy! It seems like everyday, they are doing something that makes me smile and laugh. Hunter loves getting on our bed and having us put pillows around him. He calls it his house. Where did he go?
There he is!

Lately, I've been teaching Hunter how to make his bed. This morning I went in his room and his bed looked like this. I asked him if he made his bed and he said "Yah". I can't tell you how excited I was that he did that. Now if only I can get Jon...


This past weekend, we went with James and Janese to the Reptile Expo. Jon use to want a lizard this size, but I think after seeing one in real life, he doesn't want one that big anymore.


Hunter really liked all the spiders, turtles, snakes and lizards. Jon walked Jaina around and he said she wasn't so sure about them.
Jaina is a girl that knows what she wants and wants it right then and there or else! I honestly don't know where she gets her personality because both Jon and I are pretty easy going (okay maybe Jon is more than me).
This morning Hunter smacked her right in the head and it caught her off guard. She then hit herself in the head and yelled so loud for about 10 seconds non stop. It was just about the funniest thing I have ever seen, but also very sad.

I just love being a mom and watching my kids learn and grow. It is sad to see them getting bigger and more independent, though.
