I swore I would NEVER do it, but I got outvoted 4 to 1. Even though I have the ultimate veto power I just didn't have the heart to say no, and now we have added two new members to our family. I'm still not adjusting to the change very well, but I've never seen my kids happier about anything and so I guess that's what it's all about. It has worked out great that Stripe is the boy and he is fun and crazy and playful and he totally loves Dylan, and Princess is the girl and she is mellow and loves to be held and she totally loves Mickell.

Mickell & Makaylee

Mickell was so happy when her new little cousin Makaylee came over to visit. She was SO excited that Aunt Alysha let her hold the baby. She sang little songs to her and was in seventh heaven. Now she can't wait for her own little sister to get here!

Hamblin Dairy Farm

I feel bad that I don't get to participate with Dylan in his school stuff very often, so I was VERY excited that David was able to take half the day off today so I could go with Dylan on his class field trip to the Hamblin Dairy Farm. It's been about 13 years since I've been on a school bus, and I got to ride on the very back seat, whoo hoo, doesn't that mean I'm cool?? It was so much fun to hang out with Dylan, and the other three kids I was in charge of were super sweet and cute and it was a fun day. We got to see a lot of cute baby animals which I think was the highlight of the farm.

Bedtime Stories

Ty loves to crawl into bed with Dylan and Mickell at bedtime and pretend that he is sleeping with them. Last night Mickell found a train book and read him stories before bedtime. It was so cute and Ty was in seventh heaven.
