At our house, we LOVE to be silly. We are very blessed that we have several nights out of the week where we all get to be together, without anything scheduled. We love watching movies (which MUST include Kevin's homemade popcorn), playing games, having tennis tournaments on the Wii, playing silly guessing games, or whatever other crazy things we can find to pass the time together. The above picture is of me and my cute kids being silly a few days ago. Lately, I have felt very grateful to be their mother. They make me laugh every. single. day. And there are some days when I REALLY need that. They are both stubborn, determined, independent children--which can make parenting difficult at times, but I wouldn't have them any other way. I know these characteristics will serve them well as they face the evils and challenges of this world that they have to grow up in. However, they can also be amazingly sweet, loving and kind--which makes me feel SO grateful that Heavenly Father sent them to ME.

You gotta love those kind of days. Being silly with your kids..... what is better!?!?!?
Silly is our middle name in our house, almost literally since I call Brooklyn "Silly Sally." I LOVE silliness and like Nikki said what is better??
Awww..what a sweet post! I am so glad that you have a happy little home...and fun little people to keep you entertained! I still think we need to have a playdate..since our kids are the same age...I have a feeling they would get along so well..and it has been forever since I have seen you!
I agree - how lucky you are (and me too) to be a mom. So, that's the silver lining to stubborn, headstrong kids? Ok - I'm in :)
You definitely have 2 awesome kiddos! I love their smiles!
Thye are at such a fun age for sure! I will miss them so much and cant wait to see them when I get home...
