Today

So today Aunt Kelsie came over and to greet her at the door was Kierci wearing Malachi's 18mo. Jammies and Malachi wearing 2 pairs of Kierci's undies (one clean one dirty) around his neck...???

I melted...

Every night at around 7:30, me and the kids go through the bedtime routine of brushing teeth, washing hands, reading storys, singing "you are my sunshine", and a prayer.

Tonight my heart melted at prayer time.
Kierci folded her hands like everynight and closed her eyes tight as she could and this was her prayer...
"thank you God for letting me take snack and show and tell to school. Thank you for my mommy and Baxter and Benelli."

Then she started to sing durring her prayer...

"I love you God. Jesus please bring back my baby. We want her back now. I miss you God and her."

That just made my heart melt! She understands in her own way. and she sang her song very beautifully! for real. I love that little girl! and she is a GREAT big sister, not only to Roo, but to little Lincoln Eis just as well!

My Girl

Just looking at this picture, while she is upstairs safley tucked into bed, makes me miss her...look at that smile.

when she smiles her eyes smile...I love that!

Mommy time :)

Today was probably one of the best days I have had in a long time.

It was just me and the kids. Mommy time, outside of the house...it was great!

First we went to the park, then we walked the trails, the kids loved that!

After the trails, we did something that we dont do alot of around here...we went to Dairy queen for ice cream cones!!!! They were thrilled! Malachi was even really good even though he didnt have a nap AT ALL today.

I see alot more mommy time in the future...its nice to get out of the house!!

Yes,they are goofy!

They do have toys...

My parents DO have toys for the kids to play with, but somehow singing into a cane and vaccuming the kitchen floor is far more fun than toys!

family photo is a no-go.

We tried to get a picture of me with the kids. There are not many of those for 2 reasons.

1. I can't even get a picture of the both of them together without screaming and total frustration.

2. I am the only one around.

so these are as close to family photos( -dad) that i have with help from my mom.
