Havin' so much fun!!!

There's not much to report... only that we are having so much fun now that Scott has passed his test.  There still seems to be this lingering feeling around the house sometimes when we are all just hanging out that Scott needs to hurry off to the library... then I realize WOW, that's all over with and then a huge sense of relief and joy come over us.

It really is so great to have all that behind us so we can move on with our lives.

The other day I was doing something (let's just assume it was laundry, dishes, cooking dinner, checking homework, picking up toys, or giving myself a timeout) and Sam yelled and called for me to come into her room where I assumed it was time for the referee in me to step in and reprimand one of the twins for doing something she did not like or for breaking another one of her toys... 

Well this was the scene I happened upon once I stepped into her room...

You could imagine a mother's delight to see everyone all bundled up in Sam's bed laying there being silly and sweet with one another... so naturally I had to grab my camera since these really are fleeting moments.

Whoa baby, it's been a lonnnng time!

OK, here we go... my attempt to play catch up... Scrolling down you see it was just a few posts ago that I was so proud of my new lil 2nd grader. Well as time so often does it just flew right by and we just wrapped up 2nd grade year... watch out 3rd grade. As tradition in our house here is Sam's mini shoot commemorating her 2nd grade year.

A fish called Sam!!

It's sort of a given when you live in this desert land that your kids have to go through this right of passage called city league swim team. And I gotta say... BRING IT ON! Growing up I always wanted to be on a swim team, nevermind that my strokes often look like someone is having a seizure in the water, but none the less I wished I had tried. Well, you better believe that this mama is living vicariously through her kids when it comes to swim. Sweating palms. Nervous stomach. Pacing back and forth... this is usually how you can find me and Scott on the sidelines. I LOVE IT!! She was pretty good last year for her first year, and this year she really did even BETTER...bringing home 3 first place ribbons. I actually only ended up bring my camera to one of her meets, shameful, I know. But in my quest to be ever more present in my kids' lives I didn't want to be all camera-crazed, jockeying for the BEST position with all the mom-tographers videoing their super-star athletes. R...

Wee little princess...

Oh man, where does one begin to describe our little peanut. For starters I still get a kick out of the random folks that ask me almost weekly what the age difference is between the B's... then the genuine look of shock and awe when I tell the unsuspecting person that they are in fact twins. Let's see...what else about Brooke... -She bounces EVERY where she goes...she can never just walk places she has to twirl, bounce, you name it -She is the most amazing UNtrained dancer EVER...at least that's what her Grandma Herrick would say! -She has the most loving heart I have ever witnessed...loves and cares so unconditionally -Wants to be just like her big sister in the worst way -Has my chin...and it's soooo cute! -Her prayers will melt your heart...no joke! -Still prays everyday that her Grandma will be strong and healthy and we don't dare correct her -Always wants to be on the go and constantly asks to go to the mall -Has the sweetest bond with her bro and I...
