a little about my sweeties.... :)

I thought I would write a little something about each of the kids...

 Today during our bible time I was reading Jude and Hailey the story of Moses and the parting of the Red Sea (We are going through "The Jesus Story Book Bible" I highly recommend  it to anyone looking for a good bible for preschoolers- the kids got it as a Christmas present from their Aunt Hannah and Uncle Joe a couple years ago) as I was reading it Jude stopped me a couple times, the first time he reminded me that the story that we were reading was really real, because it's in the Bible, and the bible is real, not like the boogie man, who is pretend (haha) then when I got to the part right before God parted the Red Sea asked them if they knew what was going to happen and Jude said "I don't know, but I know God is going to take care of them!!" What precious words to hear my almost 4 year old say!  I pray that God continues to work in the hearts of my children and draws them close to Him so that they can always have the assurance that God is Always in control. Jude is also my little super hero....or super villain, when he is in character nothing can get him out of it! We spend alot of time shooting "goobily goo" on each other, because he likes to be "Yucky Man" or "Clean man". Everyday He also tells me he is so excited for the doggie he is going to get on his birthday....which he is not going to get!!! He's smart :) I think we are getting him a hamster so once he sees that hopefully he will forget about the dog for a couple years :) haha

Hailey is my strong willed sweetie....ha she reminds me alot of myself...very stubborn and hard headed, but she's also one of the sweetest little girls I have ever met. She has taught me a Lot about patience and parenting and I have spent alot of time in prayer for her!!! haha I am praying that God uses her strong willed spirit for His glory as she grows into a young lady!!  She has always been pretty good at playing by herself, she likes being in control and her dolls do whatever she says :) ha. Today I was trying to get her to nap (failed attempt) we were in my bed, and of course she has to have around 10 dolls with her... so she lays them all down covers them up gives them all kisses then lays down, then gets back up and says "oh you need a drink? ok" has another doll get up and walk over to me and says "my sister needs a drink" haha. after a while I closed my eyes pretending to be asleep hoping that she would get tired and go to sleep so she starts whispering, gives her babies all a kiss, prays with each baby, gives another kiss to them all, rubs my hand and gives it a kiss and then just pretends away :) I love to watch her pretend and use her imagination 

Little Liam is taking up to 3 steps unassisted now!  He also can say "Popoo" (thats what we call my grandpa) "mama" "dada" "baba" "uh oh" and "bu bu" When he is in his high chair and wants down he lifts his hands straight up until I pick him up, it's really adorable! I was looking at some pictures from almost a year ago and Liam was so tiny! He was the reason that I had to have them early, he had developed IUGR (intrauterine growth restriction) and was starting to lose weight. He was 4.12 when he was born. I am so thankful that I was getting ultrasounds everyweek otherwise we would have not known and he could have easily died. He has definitely caught up on the weight :) He's such a sweetie and loves to laugh...he will look at people and do this fake laugh just to get them laughing. :) He loves to be the center of attention and I think he is going to really take after his older brother and he a little clown :) 

And my youngest...sweet Sethy poo (or as Hailey calls him "Heffy Poo" ha) He is my little toddler! He toddles around EVERYWHERE (if the bathroom door is open he will be playing in the toilet within seconds) He can stand up in the middle of the floor and start walking, which is so adorable!!! He seems to be a little bit more shy than Liam(not much though- all my kids are pretty loud haha). He loves to cuddle and give kisses. He will look at me and go "mmmmm" and then make the puckering sound. He has actually been sitting on my lap the whole time I've been typing this. He is a cuddle bug :) He also has a little temper, it is pretty cute when he gets mad he waves his arms up and down so fast! ha. What a blessing he is!!! 

Rest time is over now...Time to play...:)
