never enough...

can anyone seriously ever get enough of kids?...or the kids you love? just ask any grandma you know!

ok-when you have a bunch of little ones at home, or if you're with them for a REALLY long time, or if you just want a nap and they just want to...whatever it is that doesn't let you sleep...it's not easy and you don't always enjoy it.

yep-i do understand, but once the kids are older and you don't have the little ones anymore you miss it...not for long periods of time, but for the weekend is great!

actually, i've been known to call the parents to stay for another night so i could have the kids a little longer-who woulda thunk it?!!

we had the great privilege of having preston & emma for a few days and oh! what fun we had...all the love & kisses you can imagine.

i wish i would have enjoyed this more when my kids were little~but then again i was so busy i was fortunate to get THRU the days.

that's why God in his perfect wisdom gave us another chance to enjoy the next generation...and i'm so thankful also that their mom & dad are so gracious to entrust us with these little people!!!!

hey handsome!

can i bottle this happiness??!! jake-you are so cool, and i'm really sorry about what i'm about to do to you but hey, i'm just a kid...
thanks emma-do you know that these are from Hollister??!! ok-this is totally gross, and if you weren't so cute...

no, i'm not eating that no matter how long you stare me down!

i really, really love my cousin livie

preston meets tamisha (the 'baby' as he calls her)...she is one of the little lovies from kayt's work-one of the handicapped kids~can you say PERSONALITY??!

oh, emma you smoosh!

i was walking past the eating area in the kitchen and happened to look out the window and this is what i saw-jake walking emma in the back yard. i took this thru the window 'cuz i didn't want him to know i was taking this.

why do i like going to my cousin's house again??!!

yea, i know, it's an outside toy but, as her sister Ashley says (in front of her mom, no less) "there are no rules at aunt lori's"...that is SO not true~we have one MAJOR rule, right Lily? yep-it's NO WHINING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

what are the big kids doing over there-i wish i were as big as they are

no, i did NOT feed these kids burger king junk-it's from cousin kayt-yes, 17 yrs old!
