Listen to This

I love hearing my kids sing. Their voices are so sweet and their lyrics are hilarious to me. 

Here's a video of Lila:

She is just so cute and sweet and I love her mispronunciations. Lila loves to sing and I often over-hear her singing. She'll sing while she's playing, going potty, eating, cleaning up, or while riding in the car. One day in the car I heard her bust out "this girl is on fire". She is full of surprises for sure:)

Here's a video of Calvin:

This boy loves to sing too. I heard him sing a lot while playing outside and he would often ask me to sing with him. I've been writing down the lyrics he sings so I can remember them. He has a future in lyric writing if he wants one, that's for sure.

"Jingle Bells"

Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells

Always in the way

All I have 

Is to ride 

a broken horse in a sleigh

"Roar"

Roooooow

Cause there's a lion 

Dancing to the fire, fire

Dancing to the fire, fire

And there's a lion

Dancing to the fire, fire

"I am a child of God"

I am a child of God 

And He be sent me hear 

(Lila sings that the same way, He can be a copy cat)

Teach me, slide me

walk with me

all the way home

"Frosty the Snowman"

Frosty the snowman

is a joey soul

poked his eye

and blew his nose

and he stayed out in the cold

I've tried to record Emmett singing the intro to Gummie Bears but he runs anytime I point the camera in his general direction. He sings along to the tune but only ever says bears at the appropriate times. Our favorite part is at the end, he adds a little more umph to the final 'bears', then laughs at himself.

Girls Beach Trip to Jekyll Island

A much needed day at the beach is what I wanted. I got so much more because it included girl time with my mom, sister and one of my sister-in-laws plus my fun loving daughter and nieces. We laid out on the beach, played in the sand, swam a little, talked a lot, and ate some good food. That was just one day. After seeing some fishermen catch a shark we were done with the water. That night Lizz brought supplies for us to have pedicures. Sunday we went to church and then lunch before saying our goodbyes. It was a quick trip but relaxing and a lot of fun. Hope to be able to do it again and with the missing sister in laws.

Here's pics from the trip:

Imagine

Chris and I went to check on Emmett during nap time one day and we found this

and this

then this.

Oh, and we also noticed how hot it was and the space heater in his room read 83 degrees! Did I mention it was the month of August?

My thoughts went from these dressers are no longer safe in here. Then, where's my baby? Wow, it's hot in here. That space heater is not safe in here either. 

Before we rearranged furniture, we admired our big baby and took these pics to remember his crazy days. Crazy and cute days:)
