Life In These Parts

What I like about having a large family: 

There is ALWAYS something going on around here.

 The girls are helping to paint the basement rec room.

 Nothing like painting a septic pipe. So fun!

 Homemade pizza rules. Once in awhile, it comes out perfect.

 Remarkable because these two are each others nemesis.
You won't often find them in the same room,

never mind the same camera frame.

 Poor guy. He has had a hard few weeks. 

A fellow classmate died in a car crash and he has been reeling ever since.

 Sisters that play together stay together?

 Lots of people have asked me if they are twins.

Aside from shared genetics, I think they are as different as can be.

 Sweetness for a mother's heart.

After hugging big sister, Micah hugged the cat crate good-bye.

 I heard the vacuum and the piano going at the same time. 

Guess she couldn't resist.

What do we have here?

 Four years old and the first tooth is gone. 

We were fooling around and it fell out on the kitchen floor.

 The replacement is well on its way.

 Who knew that Kloey would be the one to convince 

Trey that he could do IT.

 Once he figures this out, there will be no stopping him.

 Could he be any cuter?

I've recently decided that we had to keep going 

until we found the right one to be the youngest. 

And Micah is definitely IT!!!
