little ones

I seriously love my little ones. Although I don't know if I show them enough. Life as a momma is hard to balance fun time, work time, learning time, errand time, praise, and discipline. Now that my kids are older they are starting to talk back and behave badly quite frequently. I've tried the last couple months to give them slack because of all the changes in their lives, esp their missing poppa! However I still need to pull in the reigns a little because it's getting to be way too much. Oh I hate discipling. Mostly because I don't know if im doing it right. We just watched the sound of music last night. Such a good movie! But oh how it made me want to be like Julie Andrews. She made mothering SO fun and look so easy. I wish I could be as care free and involved and fun with the kids. That alone would do wonders for their behavior I'm sure.

matchy matchy bangs

For the first time in my adult life I have real full on bangs. So different. Luckily I can swoop them to either side as well. My mil and hubby say I look like Hannah Montana. A hahaha. Oh well at least it's fun to look like my mini me ;) I love this crazy girl!

happy children

There's nothing better than happy children. They are finally putting together these train tracks by themselves. They've been playing nonstop with them for the last week. It's great!
Kate is just a happy baby. Good thing since the other two have been super demanding since daddy deployed. Love my kids.
