Why Toddler Throw Tantrums

Interesting read on Why Toddlers Throw Tantrums.
It is inevitable, so as I try to discipline, love and train my kids it's interesting to know the science behind their reactions and then I can keep asking the Lord to teach me how to respond well in all of these fun situations!

Even Barbie is normal?

Loved this photo. Really made my day.




And this blogpost too.

My bro

Got some time with this guy on my nephew's bday in Sept. It was too quick but still had a wonderful time. He is my only sibling and having his friendship through my life is not something I take for granted. I'm so proud of him - he puts bad guys behind bars for the government and he is an awesome dad, husband, friend, son uncle and brother. It's his bday and I am just so thankful to have known this guy my whole life.

(Disclaimer - he has crazy spiked hair because we both had to run out to our cars in the pouring rain...:))

Little Buddies

These two are just killing me lately. They are sweet little beans who are doing SO much together and are seeming so similar in looks too. Just loved some of these moments that I captured quick on my ipod. Just trying to soak these days into my memory and my heart. Though tiring, they are precious days that I never want to forget.
