Today we were at the park and I took a couple of pics of Myles. As I was editing them tonight I couldn't help but smile. I love this little guy!! I love his "chicken little" hair.
I love the HUGE gap between his teeth (He has scottface)
I love his laugh
How could I resist loving such a sweet little boy?

aaaaaaaa ooooooooo
Myles is constantly getting picked up and thrown around by the girls who are just trying to "love him". Consequently Myles screams and throws himself back everytime they try. This morning something amazing happened. Megan went over to Myles to give him a "hug" and he threw his arms around her and said aaaaaaa oooooooo. this was totally out of character. Megan looked up at me and said excitedly "Mom did you hear that?? Myles loves me!" I looked at Myles and said "Love you?" to which he said "aaaaaaaaaa oooooooo" This was such a sweet moment. He is growing up so quickly! He has started taking a few steps here and there but nothing solid yet. Give it another couple of weeks :)

My Mom

My mom called me the other day and said " Jenny, I feel pretty good right now and I haven't seen my kids for a really long time! I need you to bring them over for a couple of minutes, so I can read them a story and tell them how much I love them!" Of course I didn't hesitate. My mom was diagnosed with cancer about three months ago and has had chemotherapy and radiation treatments for the last 2 months. She finally got through them a couple of weeks ago but she is still really sick and weak. The kids and I have tried to stay away in fear of my mom getting sick because she has no immune system. The kids have really missed her and pray for her in every prayer...even the ones they say at church. Anyways...back to my story...I gathered my kids up and took them over. They were so excited to see my mom and be in her house again! My mom read them two books and then we visited for a couple of minutes. My kids have really missed making cookies at grandmas house. That is one of their favorite things to do. So my mom had some cookies and told the kids that they could take them home and enjoy the grandma cookies. We are all looking forward to the day that we can go over and make cookies again. I love that she is my mom and such a wonderful grandma to my kids. She is one of the strongest people I know, She has been though so much and still never thinks of herself. I love you mom! Those couple of minutes ment the world to the kids and I!!
Yesterday we found out that my mom's tumor was gone and everything looks good. Our prayers have been answered!

silly myles
So lately Myles has become obsessed with unrolling all the toilet paper in the house. Tonight I went to run some errands and when I returned Scott was in the kitchen, Hazel and Courtney were outside playing and Megan was in the tub. Myles comes crawling out to me looking like this...
What could he possibly have been up too?? It's just a mystery in my book. He is so cute and innocent its hard to believe that he can make such a big mess!! I would have taken a picture of the mess, but with Megan in the tub the toilet papered floor is now covered with water...not a pretty picture.

Oops I did it again...

Yep you guessed it, #5 is on the way .... due December 5, 2008. This came as quite a suprise to us as we were doing everything to prevent this from happening (blasted Scott and his super sperm!) I have come to terms with the fact that this little one just really is supposed to be in our family. I have already met with my doctor (who kind of looked at me in disbelief) and had an ultrasound. The girls are really excited. I showed them the ultrasound pic, Megan's responded "Soooo it has no body, just a head?" Hazel has decided that if it's a girl we should name her Ariel or Barbie, and if it's a boy it will be Prince Eric. The girls are too funny and so excited. I am thankful for our family and I am getting excited for this new one to join the zoo already in progress!!
