My Simple Joys

Kaden ran outside with his picture he had just drew to show the rocket ship flying over. Kaden hasn't been on an airplane before but LOVES watching airplanes. If fact he gets real upset if he doesn't make it outside fast enough to see the "rocket ship". Tan and Sis are so sweet that they will often hurry to help unlock the door to make sure he gets out quickly enough.

Oh Colbs! He sure puts up with a lot of toting around. Poor guy. Good thing he is ultra easy going and is amused by a simple smile of a new face or a funny face. He literally attacks Tanner when Tan returns from school. This includes Colby pulling Tan's hair and touching his face. Tan likes any attention he can get from his lil' bro.

Tanner has gotten more confident lately and older. :( A few times I've asked Tan to run in to pick up our to go order from Chipotle or drop some books at the library. He willingly goes right in alone and likes the responsibility. Of course these places I can almost park at the door. Every time he helps I emphasis how much I appreciate not getting all the kids out.

Kaden is still disciplined on a daily basis. I have to say his obedience has improved. When he's gotten in trouble he often reminds me, "Mommy, you hurt my feelings again!" He also has been caught humming church songs while in time out. Like I don't feel bad enough already.

I adore how I'll catch Brookie looking at her beautiful self in the mirror. She will smile, but more often than not she has a serious model face. I usually don't say anything because she gets embarrassed. I hope she will always know that she is exceptionally beautiful on the inside and out!

Tan has been taking piano for about 2 months. He was blessed with a great ear for it. He's learning to read the music but truly prefers to play by memory (ear). We love when he can play a song for us and for our family home evening. Colby also loves to play with Tanner. It's a special thing they do together.

Kaden is at such a sweet age. His mind is working like crazy to figure out everything. When we are in the car and the sun glares in his eyes he complains that it's to sunny. Now when we are at home and the lights are bright he also says, "It's to sunny Mom!" I don't correct him because I LOVE it.

Brookie has the most exceptionally beautiful hair. She loves all the princess's. Most importantly Ariel and Rapunzel. So she has started a new trend. She likes her hair to swoop down her forehead and covering most of her eye. Every time I try to fix it slightly to she her cute face she reminds me that Ariel's hair does it.

Colbs rolls around a lot and scoots around but good thing he's pretty slow still. Of course with Tan we couldn't wait for him to learn and grow and in some ways I wish Colbs could grow twice as slow so I can enjoy each stage more.

Kade has always been our dancer, any song anywhere. When in the car he points out that his fingers and or toes are dancing. I to love to dance so I think it's super sweet that he like music that much!
