Life Lately

 Clara is a tornado!  A very smart one too.  There is nothing that can stop her from getting what she wants. I mean nothing!  I routinely find her climbing things, she has NO fear.

 Cameron & Colby 1st day of school pictures.  

These two are very elusive when the camera comes out so I don't get many pictures of them.  They started Karate a couple months ago and are really enjoying it and learning lots of things.  They say it's good that they will know how to protect their little sister!

 Hayden loves to help in the kitchen and reap the benefits of licking the bowl! 

 She can sleep in any position when she is really tired and she knows how to pose perfectly when I tell her I want to take her picture!!  Love this girl!

 Hayden is pretty obsessed with all things hunting.  He looks just like this on a daily basis.  He knows by now though that the guns don't get to go into stores or church.  So he leaves them in the car, never at home! 

Colby recruited some help with the dishes!

 Around the block on the "bike". We are so sad that our days of walking outside are coming to an end.  June can't come soon enough!

 Cameron is the best scrambled egg maker in the world!! No Joke.

But don't try and give him store bought eggs!  Only fresh from the backyard eggs for this chef!  His chickens lay some HUGE eggs too.

 For some reason Clara felt like the little bit of hair she had needed some conditioning, so she dumped her yogurt on her head and rubbed it all over.  Her brothers thought it was hilarious and I'm pretty sure they encouraged it!

Clara is 20 months old and I'm pretty sure that I still have not figured out how to manage 4 kids, a husband and a household.  I guess by now I have just decided that we live everyday in survival mode and for now thats ok.  Everyone is fed, clothes get washed and bathrooms get cleaned.  And they all seem to be pretty happy.  In 20 years they won't remember the messes or the chaos.  

At least that's my prayer!
