Homecoming

Claudia went to her first homecoming this year. I think she looked stunning and love the dress that she picked.

Birthday Dinner

My parents take each of our kids out on their birthday to the restaurant of their choice. I love this tradition and grateful they get the one-on-one time with their grandparents!

17th

Claudia had some of her good friends over for a birthday hangout. These girls are fun and sweet! And...they were dressed patriotic to go to a football game. I don't think they always dress in red, white and blue. 😊

Morgan:15

How is my sweet Morgan 15?? She's my girl that I just couldn't imagine growing up...but she doesn't listen and is doing it anyway.

We love this girl so much. She is simple and kind and laid back and hard working with such a sweet spirit about her. Morgan is smart as a whip and loves to think deeply. She has no enemies and you just can't but love her. 😘

Morgan has found her niche at school by being a part of the tech crew in theater. She's using power tools, running the sound board and killing it behind the scenes. I love how she puts so much effort and quality into her work.

We love you sweet Morgan and can't imagine our home without you!

Silly girl

Sometimes I like these outtakes more than the 'nice' pics I take of my kids. It shows the personality and expressions that I see everyday.

Greta: 9

Greta is the sweet and sassy sister sandwiched between her bothers. I love seeing her grow and develop into her own little self. For many years I saw her as a mix between her older sisters, but she's just not. She's her own full and unique self.

Greta loves time to play and have fun with her friends and brothers but also loves to be alone. She colors and makes cards and does a lot of reading. She is the most recent Harry Potter fan in the family. She is in love with the audio books.

I love that Greta knows that she thinks and wants and is not afraid to say it. This is where the 'sassy' part comes in. 😜 Overall she is easy-going but she does have her opinions.

One thing that I've noticed about Greta as she's gotten older is her compassion for others. She often notices and feels for the underdog or the one left out. She is very tender hearted.

G continues to be the most competitive child in the family. She's fierce and a force to be reckoned with. Sure do love this precious girl!!!

Poor G, she stepped in some burn hazel...
