Be Still my heart

This is the best picture I could get on my phone...but really, how adorable is this?  Sometimes Aiko will say "More? More?" after seeing me hold Little Brother's hand. 

I think (hope) they will be the best of friends.

You may recall that Aiko wore this same outfit as a newborn...so naturally, we (meaning I) was super excited for little brother to wear it too.  

Luckily, Auntie Hannah found Aiko a bigger size.  So happy that they fit in them together. 

We know how to shoot guns now.

After going shooting once with our dear brother Jan,

and learning about gun safety from the husband, 

we felt pretty much like the sharp shooters of the west.

So, my dad took us out shooting.

which we properly dressed for.

notice my short sleeve sweatshirt and awesome granny pants

and hali was wearing the holster with gym shorts

and hannah is holding the gun correctly (after much chastizing from daddy)

We hit many cans.

The Kona is not gun shy.

And there are some super weird people in Mountain Green.

No Offense. 

(from a couple weeks ago) Quality time with uno numero brother Jan, 2 Sisters, The husband and The Kona

It was a brutal weekend.

We went camping, things didn't go completely as planned or not planned at all.

I was SOOO tired, and the siblings wouldn't let me go to bed, so I pulled out the tarp, and laid down by the Kona....on the ground.

Seems when all my siblings get together (plus my husband), they think it's okay to tease their big-little-sister.

But don't worry, I have my ways.

Great things come in small packages.

Beautiful Beastie

Got up early this morning.

Mainly, to exercise, but instead I finished my nails.

But of course I put in a Disney Movie, a prince movie nonetheless.

So girly sometimes, it's weird.

But pretty sure I will take any child with a Disney Trivia Smack-down. 

As long as I have my trusty siblings to be on my team that is.

Which reminds me.  

I wanted to watch Disney's Hercules last night.

IT

WAS

GONE.

Breath.

Pretty sure I purchased it from the Deseret Industries.

Thinking, Thinking....Thought.

Hannah doesn't have a VCR 

(kids ask you parents to show what this is)

HALI DOES.

GRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrr.

Called her up, yelled at her to bring it back.

The nerve.

All in good jest mind you.

BUT, because I had to watch Beauty and the Beast instead of "Hunkulese" (who says that in the movie quick?)

I was almost brought to tears.

Isn't is nice that Beast saves Belle from the pack of ravenous wolves who lick their lips?

Sigh, yes, I almost broke down.

After big gulps and deep breaths, I almost succombed to tears once again, after Beast yells at Belle while cleaning his wound.

I say, world, is there nothing more tender?

And that my friends is why being a girl sucks.

(I don't particularly like the word "sucks" but it fits)

It's a good thing the Husband wasn't there to laugh at me instead of tenderly embrace in this time of sorrow. 

The Kona didn't even comfort me.

Disney Nerd Out.
