A Few of My Favorite Things

These are a few of my favorite things lately:

 Gracen exercising her adorable little mommying skills. (Please excuse the fact she looks like an unmade bed - we've all had high fevers/coughs/sore throats/runny noses for the last 5 days and very rough nights!)

 The boys and their daily train track build.  Jaron and I sat there after he built this track, adding up how much we've spent to accumulate them all.  I feel like we've been lucky to accumulate them cheaply but I was surprised at the total (mostly eaten up by Thomas trains for the past two Christmas').  However, worth EVERY penny.  These babies are pulled out every single day!

And last but not least, one of our favorite things is when cousins come over.  With all 6 of Jaron's siblings and their 4 spouses and all their offspring (9 kids - with Alden as the oldest), it often gets a little crazy around here.  But there is definitely always laughs.

On this day, Katelyn was mimicking the kung-fu she'd learned from Kung Fu Panda.  It took only seconds for the rest of the kids to catch on.  My favorite was watching Gracen try to be a part of it all.  Good laughs!
