She is just cute. Don't know how she is going to steal our hearts yet, as she is purely getting by on cuteness to this point!!!!

Eyes that melt your heart.....

Ahhh, my little C-dude.....

Now, I think I am on to this little man. Look at those eyes, Look deep....Deeper....Ok, in love yet? Should be. Anyway, I am on to him. This little man is WAY to smart for his britches. I have always said, he is going to be the master mind of A LOT of trouble. He will not be the one to pull it off, but he will be in the background laughing his arse off! He always looks like he is deep in thought. He is quiet to start off with, but man give him a minute or two and he will talk your ear off. I love having him with us. He doesn't give away hugs for free. If you get one from him, man it feels like you just won the lottery! He sinks right in and melts into your arms. This little man has a big big heart. Knows what he wants to do, when he wants to do it, and most of the time it will be in his undies and boots. Get over it, that is how he is going to be dressed, but lets face it. If we really had the choice, wouldn't we all?
Cohen is a super hero at heart, he is here to save the world, and if given enough time and enough clean pairs of super hero undies, he will!
Cohen my man, keep on planning. Keep us on our toes and make us think. This world is yours for the taking!! Go get it little man.

Best day of her life.....

I am getting a little off on my posts here. But I had to share this little ditty with you guys. So those of you who know my Izzy, know she is almost always happy. Now don't get me wrong, I can make this girl crabby in the blink of an eye. However, by the next blink she is sharing a story with me about something else. I have never in my life met someone who can let things roll off her so easily. She does NOT get that from me, I am however, trying to get that from her.
The other day we were driving out to church and this song was playing and she was singing along and just had this happy glow about her. I asked if this was one of her "jams". Yep. She said, This song is a great song to start the day with. Its always a new day and each day should be the best day of your life. Sometimes my kids blow me away, well frankly they blow me away often.
So make this the best of your life.

P Diddy........

Now you may get sick of me saying stuff like....Ray of Sunshine, They are like sunshine, but you are just going to have to stick with me here. Or not, your choice.
But this next little person, who I love so dearly, is truly a Ray of Sunshine.....

Seriously, Can you even stand to look at that face and not smile??? Wowza! Parker, what to say about this little guy? Well, everything that is good in the world is what this little boy is made of. Now don't get me wrong, I am sure there are puppy dog tails and all the things the poem says, but mixed in with it is the ability to live life to the fullest. He is non-stop action. And the fun kind at that. He makes you stop and smell the roses, slow down and look. And his heart. I mean really for being 3 years old, he knows how to love. He is always there with a hug or a kiss. And of course an I love you. My hope for you my sweet Parker, is that you never loose your sense of adventure. Because life can get pretty boring if you do. Keep exploring my sweet child, your roadmaps are written in the stars, just like the ones in your eyes!

This little ray of Sunshine.....

NEXT!!!!
This little sunshine didn't come to us by "blood", she came to us as a package deal, and boy, what a deal did we get!!!

Miss Aubrie. I can remember the very first time we met her. We were up at Sherwood for our annual Chap family Camping trip. Out of the car got this sweet shy little girl. So polite, little quiet, maybe a little nervous, and then she saw all the other kids. And off she was! She fit in like she had been coming to every Chap camping from day 1. I saw her today at the Chap family Christmas, and she was running by me, slams on the breaks, backs up and gives me a hug...Hi Jesse....and off she was again. Now, I think you probably know by now, that its those hugs that get to me! Holy Moly do I love them.
Aubrie, she is just a good kid. She loves to play, and the sparkle in her eyes, well, they will light the darkest days. She is one of the hardest working kids I know. I love going out to there house and seeing the mud boots lined up!
Aubrie, I love you, I am so glad you let us be part of your family. You make us very lucky people. Keep those eyes sparkling, you never know who's day you are making brighter.

My first niece.....

So being the oldest, and having the first Grandchildren, I can remember the day this little lady came into the world!

Oh my goodness, you had your Auntie Mel and Auntie Jesse just melting! You were so stinkin cute! Miss Kyleah, well she is turning into quite the little lady. I still see a little girl when I look at her, and I am having a hard time wrapping my head around that little girl not being there. My all time favorite memory of Ky was when she was about 1 1/2 or 2 years old. Jeremy and I were watching her over night. There was some star showers or something happening that night, and we set out alarm for 2 am. Well we ended up waking Ky up too, so we had a blanket laid on the grass outside and laid her in between us and were watching the stars. All she kept doing was hitting Jeremy and I, STARS, STARS, I see stars.......I think Jeremy and I were at that point more amused by this 2 year olds amusement then the stars themselves. It was truly one of those seeing something with the eyes of a 2 year old moments! It is also one of those moments that will forever be in my heart.
Ky, you will have to forgive me, but when I see you, I see a 2 year old. You will always be my Ky-burger. ALWAYS! 
Love you to the stars Miss Ky,
Keep seeing all the wonders in this world, you see things we forget as adults, just reminding us to keep seeing!
