Random Pictures for April

I found this cute little letter from Kelly to Charity the other day while I was cleaning up and I just couldn't resist taking a picture of it. I thought I would respect their privacy and crop out the words that she wrote (it was so cute to see the words from one sister to another at such a young age.... they really do love each other.... a dream come true for me). But I did have to leave in the "Best Friends Forever" part. I love that!

We were watching Charlie and he and Noah were both getting pretty tired. I wasn't sure if Brent and Sarah would want him alseep or not, but I thought calming down and getting quiet would be a good idea. So I got out Noah's and Erika's bean bag chairs and plopped them both down in front of Baby Einstein (one of Noah's new favorites) with some popcorn. They were so cute there together!!! It made me laugh. They sat there for a good 20-30 minutes, just quiet and chopping on their popcorn. Who woulda thought I could slow these two down!!

Whenever I'm uploading pictures onto the computer I run across a few that I KNOW I didn't take. This one for example was taken by someone else. One of the kids, judging by the time of day..... I always get mad at first knowing they've played with my camera without permission, but I still think it's fun to see things from their points of view. Bradley's so handsome!

This was so cute!! The girls wanted to surprise Nate and I. It was one of those warm days when the flowers were out. Don't tell Grandpa that they picked some of his flowers.... we had to have the flower picking talk AGAIN, but lots of loves for the thought too..... so cute.

Here's Brad's owie. Last Saturday the kids all had a meeting with the sidewalk.... I think everyone came out with a battle wound from working in the yard.... Spring must be here.... sort of.

Lukey kissed the sidewalk that day, but apparently the sidewalk wasn't ready for that kind of relationship because she smacked him back!! Poor Luke. He looked AWFUL!!! It came off at swimming lessons yesterday though... the whole scab.... it was disgusting. I need to find something to put on it to avoid scarring.

awwwww

so cute!

another one I didn't take, but I'm so glad they did :) He's such a cutie!!

and another one... one that I'd never get probably :)

And now for cute Erika in her new "Jumpy thing" as the kids are calling it.... She totally loves it!!! Makes us all laugh, especially Luke, to watch her flopping around with a big cheesey grin.
