poor ella kate loves to have slumber parties with her siblings, but somehow always gets squashed:) although, we have now solved this problem.... with bunk beds!!! my handsome little bubba:)
josiah is not the best at finding lost toys or missing socks, so whenever i help him and find whatever it is he is looking for, he and his sisters get SO excited and cheer for me as if i am 5 years old!cutie ella kate! miley gives the cheesiest smiles now...here is a sweet one:)

we have been having fun riding our new bikes!one night while all of the kids were supposed to be asleep, we heard this little guy in his room singing. we go down there and find him sporting these goggles:)ella kate decided to dress everyone alike in her sweaters one morning. how thoughtful:)

while getting on the car one afternoon, bill spotted a stain on the seat of the car. without thinking he very LOUDLY said, "CRAP!!" and began wiping the seat with a baby wipe. a few seconds went by when ella kate said from the back seat, "dad? crabs don't live in the car, they live at the beach. did you think you saw a crab??" it took us a while to figure out what she was saying. apparently she mistook crap for crabs:)josiah and ella kate were playing tag, when he tumbled and hit his eye on the toy box. the next morning he woke up and his poor little eye was so swollen:( ella kate decided to encourage him and say, "ewww jos!! your eye looks DISGUSTING!" sweet, huh?thankfully, as the day progressed, the swelling went down and it turned a pretty shade of purple:)
