Gotta love 'em

I just have to post a few of my favorite things about my kids. I want to remember everything they do the best I can, but sadly I have only brushed the surface:) They make me laugh so hard every day and I cannot possibly remember everything unless I had a pen pinned to me. I love these kids so much and am so grateful for the joy they bring in my life.



Bria...

1. Loves reading her books. She runs her fingers along the words and pretends to read.
2. Hugs so tight that it hurts!
3. Loves helping in the kitchen. She has to stir everything and put ingredients in.
4. She speaks for Erik and lets me know what he needs. She also tells me all the words he says. I guess I just can't understand him!
5. Loves dancing. When the music ends, she poses and it is so cute, but don't ask her to do it in front of a lot of people!
6. Sings BEAUTIFULLY. She has a voice of an angel.
7. Loves to draw. Spends hours at her little table coloring.
8. Loves building with her blocks. She is very creative and has built emaculate airplanes, trains, a chicken, and a lot of people. Last Christmas she even built a nutcracker!
9. Always has a story to tell. She is so animated that she looks like she came right out of a cartoon!
10. Wants to fly so bad. She tells me every day, "I want to fly really bad!"

Erik..

1. is SO determined. He NEVER gives up when he wants something. It is frustrating right now, but I know he will be an incredible missionary, worker, husband and dad one day.
2. Does not walk, but runs everywhere he goes and it is the bounciest run you will ever see.
3. Hums ABC's, So long farewell, Jesus Wants me for a Sunbeam, and is right on pitch!
4. Loves the piano. He is on that instrument the majority of the day.
5. screams whenever he runs out of juice and chucks it on the ground. It is so funny!
6. When he sleeps, he puts his thicker blanket underneath him and cuddles with his blankie. He loves his blankie.
7. His favorite book is Color Zoo and loves the circles in it. He calls them "Girckles".
8. Has the cutest smile and dimples ever! His laugh makes me so happy!
9. Loves to break the rules. He is such a tease and runs into the living room with food in his hands looking at me with such a mischievious smile on his face!
10. Loves the water. Whenever I turn the tub on, even if he just got out, he runs in and tries to get in with clothes on or off!
