My favorites...

Now I know that most moms do not have "favorites" when it comes to their children. But I like to pick favorite moods, and attitudes, and dispositions so to speak.
Take Emilee, for example.
She is one kid that can really push my buttons. When she and I get going, we are not a pretty sight to behold. She screams, whines, and totally freaks out. I get MAD!
Yes, living with a redhead (me) comes with a price. (Temper) I'm not proud of it, no. Not proud at all. And of course the old adage, if you pray for patience, you will be thrown into situations that test it, CONSTANTLY. I have stopped praying for patience.
Ok, so anyway.
I wanted to post some of my favorite pictures of my kids. Mostly because I have to remember they are gifts. They were not sent here to torment me, but rather to make me better. Right? Please tell me I'm right.
So here are my favorites. And not just the pictures, but the kids too. I love them fiercely!


Warning: Tons of pictures.... I have no idea how to do the collage thing.


(can you hear the WHINE coming from this picture? I know I can)









(Kami does not have a satellite antenna on her face, its a head gear. Poor kid)


A child after my own heart. Gotta love that Coke!





I love this picture for some reason. We are all going fishing down at the river.

I know Paul is not one of my children, but he is by far my favorite HUNK....hubba hubba


We don't normally like our girls running around naked, but Abby escaped. She was seriously running! Love the tongue hanging out!
Again, my hunk but also my sweet dog who goes by many names...chunk, chocolate chunk or starly





I think I'm pretty blessed, even if I'm not very patient.
