Samantha:

Age 10

Loves Soccer

Loves plays

Loves being busy

Not too fond of her brother Bo (but I know she loves him deep inside)

Loves Loves her brother Baylen

thinks her brother McRae is okay....

Full of emotion....

Full of it and pouring over

Is the sweetest thing ever

but is spicy

She is all flavors wrapped into one

She can be soooo sweet

the next minute full of spice 

and the very next very sour

But all in all

she is the most perfect little girl I could ever wish for

Praying for the next few years of changes

that they will bring us even closer

and not split us

Even though lately she has split a lot of hairs on this mommies head....

B0:

Age 7

Loves being a tiger cub

Loves selling popcorn 

Loves to play outside, make up his own adventures and decorate

He is madly inlove with Batman

But usually gets stuck on one thing and you think it will never pass

Halloween

Lego Ninjago

Lone Ranger

now 

Batman

Loves to hug and cuddle

my biggest hugger or all of them

He loves mission work

he begs to go build houses for the homeless

He loves to give out crackers and water to homeless we pass by

He worries often about children being hurt

He asks sooooooo many questions

On the way to school today he asked them faster then I could answer

and he did not even notice

I could not even keep up

"Why do they call people with glasses nerds"

"Where does the water go after you flush it"

"Is that grass real grass or pretend grass"

Is tommorrow the day after yesterday or the day before Friday" WHAT?

And lastly...and yes all the questions came to me within a 30 sec window as we were walking to school

It is dark right now so why are we going to school so late....it is past my bedtime....wow

all I can say sometimes is wow...and smile

Baylen:

Age 3

loves or hates piper

Loves chocolate milk and gummies

would eat junk all day if he could

loves to copy his sisters fits

and his brothers ability to jump off everything

Is so dang smart 

Knows 22 of his letters without even pushing it

loves books 

loves to play with legos

loves to play outside

thinks Bo is the coolest thing out there

thinks McRae is annoying

adores his sister

loves to jump on the trampoline

Does not like footy pjs because they bother his feet and

"I do not like my pants to connect to my shirt"

Also why he does not like overalls I guess

Has to have everything just sooooooo just right
