The cabin is hidden in the woods up in a little valley called Teton. I love this place. It’s so quiet and peaceful. And the inside of the cabin looks like it came out of a fairy tale or something. It was the perfect get-a-way for us. We ate on paper plates, so dish duty was minimal, the kids slept in sleeping bags so there was no need to hound them to make their beds. And Dustin would take them adventuring while I sat with this view and a book while the baby napped.<img alt="IMG_7897 copy" class="ov-done" data-lazyload-src="http://www.alishasiddoway.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/IMG_7897copy_thumb.jpg" src="http://www.alishasiddoway.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/IMG_7897copy_thumb.jpg" height="451" style="-webkit-user-select: none; border-radius: 0px; border: 0px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); display: block; float: none; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 11px auto; opacity: 1; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" title="IMG_7897 copy" width="674" /><img alt="IMG_7875" class="ov-done" data-lazyload-src="http://www.alishasiddoway.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/IMG_7875_thumb.jpg" src="http://www.alishasiddoway.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/IMG_7875_thumb.jpg" height="453" style="-webkit-user-select: none; border-radius: 0px; border: 0px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); display: block; float: none; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 11px auto; opacity: 1; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" title="IMG_7875" width="677" /><img alt="IMG_7917 copy" class="ov-done" data-lazyload-src="http://www.alishasiddoway.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/IMG_7917copy_thumb.jpg" src="http://www.alishasiddoway.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/IMG_7917copy_thumb.jpg" height="455" style="-webkit-user-select: none; border-radius: 0px; border: 0px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); display: block; float: none; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 11px auto; opacity: 1; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" title="IMG_7917 copy" width="680" /></div><div align="center" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #8b8062; font-family: CopseRegular, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22.75px; margin-bottom: 1.2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><img alt="IMG_7920 copy" class="ov-done" data-lazyload-src="http://www.alishasiddoway.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/IMG_7920copy_thumb.jpg" src="http://www.alishasiddoway.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/IMG_7920copy_thumb.jpg" height="305" style="-webkit-user-select: none; border-radius: 0px; border: 0px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); display: inline; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 11px 0px; opacity: 1; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" title="IMG_7920 copy" width="456" /><img alt="IMG_7926 copy" class="ov-done" data-lazyload-src="http://www.alishasiddoway.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/IMG_7926copy_thumb.jpg" src="http://www.alishasiddoway.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/IMG_7926copy_thumb.jpg" height="304" style="-webkit-user-select: none; border-radius: 0px; border: 0px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); display: inline; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 11px 0px; opacity: 1; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" title="IMG_7926 copy" width="204" /></div><div align="center" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #8b8062; font-family: CopseRegular, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22.75px; margin-bottom: 1.2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">We spent our time exploring, going on adventures, playing in the tire swing, and in the cabin.

It was really the Anything For A Friend 5k, or F2TF (Fight to the Finish) 5k. It was a great cause with all proceeds going to help terminally ill children. There were 30 teams in the race, each racing for a loved one and each team had a different colored shirt with their team name on the back. Ashley and Pat got a team of 70 people put together of family and friends and we ran for Team Preslee. It was really neat to be part of. Ash brought pink necklaces for all the girls to wear, which was entirely appropriate because Pres loved her necklaces. <a href="http://www.alishasiddoway.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/IMG_7010-copy.jpg" style="border: 0px; color: #8b8062; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><img alt="IMG_7010 copy" border="0" class="" data-lazyload-src="http://www.alishasiddoway.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/IMG_7010-copy_thumb.jpg" height="473" src="http://www.alishasiddoway.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/IMG_7010-copy_thumb.jpg" style="-webkit-user-select: none; background-image: none; border-radius: 0px; border: 0px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); display: inline; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 11px 0px; opacity: 1; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" title="IMG_7010 copy" width="706" /></a>I’m not sure that Sophie even remembers her cousin. I’d like to think she does. She’ll tell me that she does, and then she’ll tell me about a memory she has, which is usually something I had taken pictures of. So it might be a memory of looking at photos, and it might be an actual memory that is brought back by seeing the pictures. I’m not really sure since she was so young. But there was that special connection between the two of them and I know that connection goes beyond this life. So it wouldn’t be entirely shocking to me if she does have some memories of their short time together. <a href="http://www.alishasiddoway.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/IMG_6857-copy.jpg" style="border: 0px; color: #8b8062; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><img alt="IMG_6857 copy" border="0" class="" data-lazyload-src="http://www.alishasiddoway.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/IMG_6857-copy_thumb.jpg" height="474" src="http://www.alishasiddoway.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/IMG_6857-copy_thumb.jpg" style="-webkit-user-select: none; background-image: none; border-radius: 0px; border: 0px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); display: inline; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 11px 0px; opacity: 1; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" title="IMG_6857 copy" width="709" /></a><a href="http://www.alishasiddoway.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/IMG_6882-copy.jpg" style="border: 0px; color: #8b8062; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><img alt="IMG_6882 copy" border="0" class="" data-lazyload-src="http://www.alishasiddoway.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/IMG_6882-copy_thumb.jpg" height="474" src="http://www.alishasiddoway.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/IMG_6882-copy_thumb.jpg" style="-webkit-user-select: none; background-image: none; border-radius: 0px; border: 0px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); display: inline; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 11px 0px; opacity: 1; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" title="IMG_6882 copy" width="708" /></a><a href="http://www.alishasiddoway.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/IMG_6870-copy.jpg" style="border: 0px; color: #8b8062; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><img alt="IMG_6870 copy" border="0" class="" data-lazyload-src="http://www.alishasiddoway.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/IMG_6870-copy_thumb.jpg" height="475" src="http://www.alishasiddoway.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/IMG_6870-copy_thumb.jpg" style="-webkit-user-select: none; background-image: none; border-radius: 0px; border: 0px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); display: inline; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 11px 0px; opacity: 1; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" title="IMG_6870 copy" width="710" /></a><a href="http://www.alishasiddoway.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/IMG_6871-copy.jpg" style="border: 0px; color: #8b8062; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><img alt="IMG_6871 copy" border="0" class="" data-lazyload-src="http://www.alishasiddoway.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/IMG_6871-copy_thumb.jpg" height="477" src="http://www.alishasiddoway.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/IMG_6871-copy_thumb.jpg" style="-webkit-user-select: none; background-image: none; border-radius: 0px; border: 0px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); display: inline; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 11px 0px; opacity: 1; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" title="IMG_6871 copy" width="714" /></a><a href="http://www.alishasiddoway.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/IMG_6873-copy.jpg" style="border: 0px; color: #8b8062; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><img alt="IMG_6873 copy" border="0" class="" data-lazyload-src="http://www.alishasiddoway.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/IMG_6873-copy_thumb.jpg" height="475" src="http://www.alishasiddoway.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/IMG_6873-copy_thumb.jpg" style="-webkit-user-select: none; background-image: none; border-radius: 0px; border: 0px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); display: inline; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 11px 0px; opacity: 1; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" title="IMG_6873 copy" width="711" /></a>Sophie was so thrilled that she was bursting with excitement before we got going.

Tracker Jacker was being naughty (nothing new there), and he was put in time out.

He should hate it, it’s no fun to be in trouble.

That’s the trouble, he’s just too cute.</div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #8b8062; font-family: CopseRegular, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22.75px; margin-bottom: 1.2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Most of the time when my kids get in trouble it’s not a laughing matter. But sometimes as a parent I have to hide my smile when they do something that is so unexpected and naughty that I just want to laugh. There have been prayers that Dustin and I have laughed through, moments where the other parent has to take control of the situation while the other hides around the corner snickering (It’s usually me. Dustin holds it together better than I do). And I’m glad I have those moments, because staying at home with kids can be a monotonous job. And laughing about parts of it keeps me sane. Besides, It’s so easy to be the mad parent, the one who is annoyed by all the disobedience that their kids display. So I am grateful for the moments of hilariousness that come along with it.</div></div>Alishahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03764724246419521997noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8481976034917554476.post-13558166490709012422014-08-27T08:14:00.000-07:002016-02-05T08:48:54.171-08:00Benson's blessing day<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div align="center" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #8b8062; font-family: CopseRegular, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22.75px; margin-bottom: 1.2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Two months old.

Sophie started school. She was so excited. She prepped each of her younger siblings. She sat them down and in hushed tones I heard things like, “Jack, Sophie goes to school today. You aren’t going to see me that much anymore. Kyla will help you when you need things.” And “Kyla, you need to be Mommy’s big helper cause I’m going to school now, and I’m not going to be here to do it anymore. Can you do that?”<a href="http://www.alishasiddoway.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/IMG_7164-copy.jpg" style="border: 0px; color: #8b8062; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><img alt="IMG_7164 copy" border="0" class="" data-lazyload-src="http://www.alishasiddoway.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/IMG_7164-copy_thumb.jpg" src="http://www.alishasiddoway.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/IMG_7164-copy_thumb.jpg" height="475" style="-webkit-user-select: none; background-image: none; border-radius: 0px; border: 0px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); display: inline; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 11px 0px; opacity: 1; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" title="IMG_7164 copy" width="710" /></a></div><div align="center" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #8b8062; font-family: CopseRegular, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22.75px; margin-bottom: 1.2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">I have been asked by so many people if I’m going to shout for joy or cry.

Have I taught her enough? I forgot to remind her to close the stall door open when she uses the toilet. I didn’t tell her to raise her hand. Did I reassure her that she’d do awesome? Surely there must be a million other things I could have taught her or prepared her with. Why didn’t we sit down and talk about all the things that you do and don’t do when you are in school?

Instead I took a deep breath and told myself to keep walking that she’d do fine. I can’t control her world anymore, but I can’t help her through the challenges she faces when she come back home at the end of the day.</div><div align="center" style="background-color: white; border: 0px;

He acts so big sometimes that I just crack up. Every week after Church he slips out of his suspenders and puts his hands in his pockets and walks around the house.

He’s growing up WAY too fast. </div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #8b8062; font-family: CopseRegular, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22.75px; margin-bottom: 1.2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><a href="http://www.alishasiddoway.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/IMG_6788-copy.jpg" style="border: 0px; color: #8b8062; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><img alt="IMG_6788 copy" border="0" class="" data-lazyload-src="http://www.alishasiddoway.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/IMG_6788-copy_thumb.jpg" height="515" src="http://www.alishasiddoway.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/IMG_6788-copy_thumb.jpg" style="-webkit-user-select: none; background-image: none; border-radius: 0px; border: 0px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); display: inline; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 11px 0px; opacity: 1; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" title="IMG_6788 copy" width="345" /></a><a href="http://www.alishasiddoway.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/IMG_6794-copy.jpg" style="border: 0px; color: #8b8062; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><img alt="IMG_6794 copy" border="0" class="" data-lazyload-src="http://www.alishasiddoway.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/IMG_6794-copy_thumb.jpg" height="515" src="http://www.alishasiddoway.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/IMG_6794-copy_thumb.jpg" style="-webkit-user-select: none; background-image: none; border-radius: 0px; border: 0px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); display: inline; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 11px 0px; opacity: 1; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" title="IMG_6794 copy" width="344" /></a><a href="http://www.alishasiddoway.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/IMG_6797-copy.jpg" style="border: 0px; color: #8b8062; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><img alt="IMG_6797 copy" border="0" class="" data-lazyload-src="http://www.alishasiddoway.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/IMG_6797-copy_thumb.jpg" height="516" src="http://www.alishasiddoway.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/IMG_6797-copy_thumb.jpg" style="-webkit-user-select: none; background-image: none; border-radius: 0px; border: 0px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); display: inline; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 11px 0px; opacity: 1; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" title="IMG_6797 copy" width="345" /></a></div></div>Alishahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03764724246419521997noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8481976034917554476.post-48444015483959698942014-08-20T08:18:00.000-07:002016-02-05T08:48:54.225-08:00Little Ones<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #8b8062; font-family: CopseRegular, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22.75px; margin-bottom: 1.2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">I walked past the bedroom and spied this little miss playing. She was creating a castle for her little toy dog. I love finding my kids totally engulfed in another world. It reminds me of my childhood. I had a great imagination, my younger sister and I would play for hours. Pirates were chasing us, we were princesses, and we’d escape on the wonder horse. After escaping we’d ride that trusty steed through the drive through of somewhere and buy a box of jelly filled donuts. I had big dreams, and apparently jelly filled donuts were a big part of them.

It’s a fun tradition that we started when our oldest turned 2. Tracker Jacker was thrilled to find them, and soon throwing balloons in the air turned into an aggressive game with lots of grunting and yelling on his part. The girls thought they could fly as long as they had one in each hand while jumping off the couch. All in all it was a fantastic balloon filled birthday for our little man.</a></div><div align="center" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #8b8062; font-family: CopseRegular, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

I had to force myself to take pictures, and that tells you how bad it was. I had planned on taking some posed shots of them, but never got around to it. But I’m ok with it, because these are more real anyway, right? At least that’s what I’m going to tell myself.</div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #8b8062; font-family: CopseRegular, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22.75px; margin-bottom: 1.2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Their dance academy preformed Alice in Wonderland, and the girls were mice and cats. They did great at the performance and loved wearing their costumes and stage makeup. Oh, the stage makeup… I think that might have been the highlight of the entire day, specifically the mascara. In fact it was so thrilling that it was all they talked about for days…”Remember when I wore that black stuff on my eyes? I cant wait for another recital so I can wear that again!”</div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #8b8062; font-family: CopseRegular, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;

He weighed 7lbs 8oz and was 20 inches long. His birth was probably the easiest I have experienced. And I am grateful for it going so smoothly. He is such a cuddly little guy, and he’s pretty pleasant when he’s awake if he doesn’t have a tummy ache. The kids love him, especially the girls. Tracker Jacker is always asking where he is, and he even requested holding him the first few days. But if you ask him if we should keep him he always says, “Noooo.”</div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #8b8062; font-family: CopseRegular, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22.75px; margin-bottom: 1.2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Today I finally got the big old camera out and snapped a few pictures. I just kind of let him sleep and when he changed positions I got the camera out and grabbed a few shots.</div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #8b8062; font-family: CopseRegular, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22.75px; margin-bottom: 1.2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">I wanted something simple with this shoot, I didn’t want to have to pose him and have props and other things, I just wanted some simple pictures to capture him in his tiny and sleepy state. And this is what I came up with… and I’m more than happy with them. </div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #8b8062; font-family: CopseRegular, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;

We love you more than you know! And a HUGE thank you to my Mom for coming and helping out, before, during and after he was born. And my Mother-in-law for coming and helping out too. I don’t know what I’d do without those two. Well, actually I have a pretty good idea… I think I’d just cry. haha</div></div>Alishahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03764724246419521997noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8481976034917554476.post-9652313708603684932014-04-28T08:24:00.000-07:002016-02-05T08:48:54.284-08:00The Mundane<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div align="center" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #8b8062; font-family: CopseRegular, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22.75px; margin-bottom: 1.2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Being 6 months pregnant and so tired and uncomfortable already I find it hard some days to remember how amazing being a mom is. My 5 1/2 year old lost her first tooth today, and as I sat down after the kids were in bed I thought about how fun it was. Sounds weird, I know. But it was such an exciting moment for her and me. She felt it become loose the night before and announced it to the family. She said, “I’ve been waiting my whole life to loost a tooth!” And no, “loost” is not a type-o that’s how she said it.</div><div align="center" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #8b8062; font-family: CopseRegular, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22.75px; margin-bottom: 1.2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">It’s amazing to experience life through my child. She has such spunk and gets such a kick out of life. And as I sat on the couch thinking of her losing that tooth I couldn’t help but smile. It seems so mundane, all kids lose teeth, but just to watch her little person experience it was fantastic.</div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #8b8062; font-family: CopseRegular, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22.75px; margin-bottom: 1.2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><a href="http://www.alishasiddoway.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/photo-1.jpg" style="border: 0px; color: #8b8062; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><img alt="photo 1" border="0" class="" data-lazyload-src="http://www.alishasiddoway.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/photo-1_thumb.jpg" height="489" src="http://www.alishasiddoway.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/photo-1_thumb.jpg" style="-webkit-user-select: none; background-image: none; border-radius: 0px; border: 0px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); display: block; float: none; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 11px auto; opacity: 1; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" title="photo 1" width="368" /></a><a href="http://www.alishasiddoway.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/photo-2.jpg" style="border: 0px; color: #8b8062; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><img alt="photo 2" border="0" class="" data-lazyload-src="http://www.alishasiddoway.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/photo-2_thumb.jpg" height="523" src="http://www.alishasiddoway.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/photo-2_thumb.jpg" style="-webkit-user-select: none; background-image: none; border-radius: 0px; border: 0px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); display: block; float: none; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 11px auto; opacity: 1; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" title="photo 2" width="696" /></a><a href="http://www.alishasiddoway.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/photo-3.jpg" style="border: 0px; color: #8b8062; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><img alt="photo 3" border="0" class="" data-lazyload-src="http://www.alishasiddoway.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/photo-3_thumb.jpg" height="527" src="http://www.alishasiddoway.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/photo-3_thumb.jpg" style="-webkit-user-select: none; background-image: none; border-radius: 0px; border: 0px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); display: block; float: none; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 11px auto; opacity: 1; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" title="photo 3" width="702" /></a></div></div>Alishahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03764724246419521997noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8481976034917554476.post-89790806397336674352014-04-28T08:23:00.000-07:002016-02-05T08:48:54.281-08:00Easter <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #8b8062; font-family: CopseRegular, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22.75px; margin-bottom: 1.2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><a href="http://www.alishasiddoway.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/IMG_6014-copy.jpg" style="border: 0px; color: #8b8062; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><img alt="IMG_6014 copy" border="0" class="" data-lazyload-src="http://www.alishasiddoway.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/IMG_6014-copy_thumb.jpg" height="458" src="http://www.alishasiddoway.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/IMG_6014-copy_thumb.jpg" style="-webkit-user-select: none; background-image: none; border-radius: 0px; border: 0px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); display: block; float: none; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 11px auto; opacity: 1; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" title="IMG_6014 copy" width="685" /></a>Happy (late) Easter! I have a great excuse this time… we moved the day before. We bought a house in a cute little town outside of Boise. And when I say little I mean that there is one grocery store (if you can call it a grocery store), they sell lumber and food and everything in between. There is one café, a pizza hut and a subway. That being said, we can get to the bigger store in 15-20 minutes. So it’s not living in the boonies like it sounds.</div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #8b8062; font-family: CopseRegular, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22.75px; margin-bottom: 1.2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #8b8062; font-family: CopseRegular, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22.75px; margin-bottom: 1.2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Moving has been going slow, I can’t do too much before I’m completely exhausted. Please take my advice and don’t move when you are 7 months pregnant. It’s not very fun and if it weren’t for the nesting instinct that has kicked in I probably wouldn’t accomplish anything. Luckily we both have the best parents ever, and they came and helped us out. So the house is live-able thanks to them, but still has so much work to be done.</div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #8b8062; font-family: CopseRegular, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22.75px; margin-bottom: 1.2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Easter was a little chaotic because it was the day after the move, but I had everything set aside and we actually made it to church on time. I’ll count that as a miracle. We went out in the back yard after church and took some pictures. It was the first time in a while that I have even gotten my camera out.</div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #8b8062; font-family: CopseRegular, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

So I am trying to keep the camera handy and capture life with my kids. I can’t help but look at Tracker-Jacker and know that his chubby rolls will be gone all too soon. I love that he is chubby. I know in photos he doesn’t look that roll-ie, but he is. His belly pokes out, his cheeks sag, and his thighs are sooooo squishy. It’s awesome. And I don’t want to forget it, or have regrets that I never had time to use my photography talent with my own children.</div><div align="center" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #8b8062; font-family: CopseRegular, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22.75px; margin-bottom: 1.2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Big Sis lent him her super hero cape. The moment it was on his chubby little neck he ran around the circle (the wall that separates the living and family rooms), again, and again, and again. It was almost like he knew what a super hero was. He is one smart cookie. One of the mom’s at dance class even asked if he was going to be three on his next birthday. Umm… I wouldn’t go that far myself, but yeah, sure I think he’s smart.<a href="http://www.alishasiddoway.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/IMG_5900-copy.jpg" style="border: 0px; color: #8b8062; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><img alt="IMG_5900 copy" border="0" class="" data-lazyload-src="http://www.alishasiddoway.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/IMG_5900-copy_thumb.jpg" height="896" src="http://www.alishasiddoway.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/IMG_5900-copy_thumb.jpg" style="-webkit-user-select: none; background-image: none; border-radius: 0px; border: 0px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); display: block; float: none; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 11px auto; opacity: 1; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" title="IMG_5900 copy" width="599" /></a></div><div align="center" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #8b8062; font-family: CopseRegular, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22.75px; margin-bottom: 1.2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">I had to make this photo black and white, because we only have pink capes around this house.

I’ve been going to Physical therapy for lower back pain, the Dr. thinks my delivery of Tracker-Jacker messed up my pelvis and that is causing me pain. Well I think she’s right, it was a down right awful delivery, and she seems to have taken all pain away. Yay!

I kind of hate going, and knowing that there is nothing they can do to help save a pregnancy before 20 weeks I have decided to opt out. Just a personal choice, and I can totally understand why women would want to go in for the peace of mind and to see the little peanut earlier and all that.</div><div align="center" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #8b8062; font-family: CopseRegular, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22.75px; margin-bottom: 1.2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">So I went in undecided if I would find out our babies gender.

When the ultrasound was over she asked if I wanted to know. But I’m too indecisive and told her I wasn’t sure. So she wrote it down on a piece of paper and gave it to the nurse who would tell me before I left if I were to ask. When it was time to go I still was unsure if I wanted to know, so they sealed it in an envelope so I could take it home and decide.

He used to be fairly calm, but suddenly he’s a wild monkey. A very cute wild monkey, which makes it hard to discipline when I just want to laugh instead. Tracker Jacker has hit the 20 month mark, and that is basically the terrible twos at our house. He suddenly has figured out how to terrorize his sisters. He waits until they are happily playing and then he’ll run over, snatch whatever they set down and make a mad dash for it. He laughs at his success while they scream and chase him.<a href="http://www.alishasiddoway.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/IMG_5695-copy.jpg" style="border: 0px; color: #8b8062; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><img alt="IMG_5695 copy" border="0" class="" data-lazyload-src="http://www.alishasiddoway.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/IMG_5695-copy_thumb.jpg" height="422" src="http://www.alishasiddoway.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/IMG_5695-copy_thumb.jpg" style="-webkit-user-select: none; background-image: none; border-radius: 0px; border: 0px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); display: block; float: none; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 11px auto; opacity: 1; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" title="IMG_5695 copy" width="631" /></a></div><div align="center" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #8b8062; font-family: CopseRegular, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22.75px; margin-bottom: 1.2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">He also loves to mimic. If mom or dad wear a hat he has to have one too. He’ll mimic noises, words, attitude, kindness, etc. If I tell one of the girls to stop doing something he jumps right in waving his finger and grunting at them. He still nods when answering yes to a question. He yells “YAY!” when he gets something he wants. And he calls animals by their sounds. A cat is a “meow” etc. He loves to talk and he usually will use the right word for objects, but occasionally he’ll make up his own.</div><div align="center" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #8b8062; font-family: CopseRegular, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22.75px; margin-bottom: 1.2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Like toothbrush….</div><div class="wlWriterEditableSmartContent" id="scid:5737277B-5D6D-4f48-ABFC-DD9C333F4C5D:bdef7631-f614-4d90-9ee8-1a8f50efe0ab" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #8b8062; display: inline; float: none; font-family: CopseRegular, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22.75px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></div></div><div class="wlWriterEditableSmartContent" id="scid:5737277B-5D6D-4f48-ABFC-DD9C333F4C5D:bdef7631-f614-4d90-9ee8-1a8f50efe0ab" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #8b8062; display: inline; float: none; font-family: CopseRegular, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22.75px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></div><div align="center" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #8b8062; font-family: CopseRegular, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22.75px; margin-bottom: 1.2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">He is keeping me on my toes, he loves to make messes, climb on the coffee table, steal food from the kitchen, and get into trouble whenever he can.

And he was so proud of himself.

Luckily we survived the weekend and made it to dance class in one piece.</div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #8b8062; font-family: CopseRegular, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22.75px; margin-bottom: 1.2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><a href="http://www.alishasiddoway.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/IMG_5714-copy.jpg" style="border: 0px; color: #8b8062; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><img alt="IMG_5714 copy" border="0" height="500" src="http://www.alishasiddoway.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/IMG_5714-copy_thumb.jpg" style="-webkit-user-select: none; background-image: none; border-radius: 0px; border: 0px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); display: inline; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 11px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" title="IMG_5714 copy" width="335" /></a><a href="http://www.alishasiddoway.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/IMG_5729-copy.jpg" style="border: 0px; color: #8b8062; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><img alt="IMG_5729 copy" border="0" height="499" src="http://www.alishasiddoway.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/IMG_5729-copy_thumb.jpg" style="-webkit-user-select: none; background-image: none; border-radius: 0px; border: 0px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); display: inline; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 11px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" title="IMG_5729 copy" width="334" /></a></div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #8b8062; font-family: CopseRegular, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22.75px; margin-bottom: 1.2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">I love the big windows they have, not only can I take pictures but I can watch and see what they are learning and if they are behaving.

You’d have thought she’d died and gone to heaven. Every time they did something new she was all smiles and giggling. It was pretty fun to watch her. She’s always loved dancing way more than her sister. She can get lost in the music and not even realize there are people around, plus she has rhythm. She was totally in her element.<a href="http://www.alishasiddoway.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/IMG_5734-copy.jpg" style="border: 0px; color: #8b8062; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><img alt="IMG_5734 copy" border="0" class="" data-lazyload-src="http://www.alishasiddoway.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/IMG_5734-copy_thumb.jpg" height="457" src="http://www.alishasiddoway.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/IMG_5734-copy_thumb.jpg" style="-webkit-user-select: none; background-image: none; border-radius: 0px; border: 0px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); display: inline; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 11px 0px; opacity: 1; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" title="IMG_5734 copy" width="684" /></a><a href="http://www.alishasiddoway.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/IMG_5743-copy.jpg" style="border: 0px; color: #c8d686; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><img alt="IMG_5743 copy" border="0" class="" data-lazyload-src="http://www.alishasiddoway.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/IMG_5743-copy_thumb.jpg" height="459" src="http://www.alishasiddoway.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/IMG_5743-copy_thumb.jpg" style="-webkit-user-select: none; background-image: none; border-radius: 0px; border: 0px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); display: inline; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 11px 0px; opacity: 1; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" title="IMG_5743 copy" width="686" /></a></div></div>Alishahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03764724246419521997noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8481976034917554476.post-10542761485005536952014-01-30T08:34:00.000-08:002016-02-05T08:48:54.165-08:00Family Pictures <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #8b8062; font-family: CopseRegular, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22.75px; margin-bottom: 1.2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">I know I am posting these from months ago. Better late than never, right? Ok, here’s a quick update on our family and why I haven’t posted in forever. A lot has changed in the last little while for our family. We have moved twice since December, lived apart for 4 months, and been in three different cities and two different states, Dustin started a new job at a small CPA firm that really likes, and we are also expecting our 4th child. It’s been a wild ride, to say the least.</div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #8b8062; font-family: CopseRegular, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22.75px; margin-bottom: 1.2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">We are planning on moving again in the next few months when we find a house to buy. As for now we are renting a house and having all kinds of adventures with that (I hate renting). Today marks the first day that we’ve seen the sun since we moved to Boise. And it is GLORIOUS!</div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #8b8062; font-family: CopseRegular, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22.75px; margin-bottom: 1.2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Anyway, here are our family pictures. The shots that include me were taken by my friend <a href="http://photomckenzie.blogspot.com/" style="border: 0px; color: #8b8062; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank"><span style="border: 0px; color: #dd8484; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Mckenzie</span></a> and she is amazing! I’m so glad I had her take them for us. These were shot out at Saltair.

border: 0px; color: #8b8062; font-family: CopseRegular, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22.75px; margin-bottom: 1.2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">I have three kids., and my oldest is 4. It can be quite the adventure around here some days. I have had several mom’s ask me what’s it’s like. All I heard before having my third was how hard it was. So I’m going to share what the last 11 months have been like with three kids.</div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #8b8062; font-family: CopseRegular, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22.75px; margin-bottom: 1.2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">All the trouble seems to happen while I am feeding the baby. You know, when you can’t do much/anything to prevent or help.</div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #8b8062; font-family: CopseRegular, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22.75px; margin-bottom: 1.2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Just after my husband had gone back to work, and right when my baby woke up and wanted to eat, my oldest fell off the stool in the bathroom and bonked her nose on the bathtub. The result was lots of blood and lots of crying. Then my baby, hungry and feeling the panic in the air, started screaming. (and I’m sure my two year old was whining for a snack or something, I don’t really remember.) I remember feeling so completely overwhelmed and outnumbered! But before I knew it I had it all taken care of and everyone was fine.</div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #8b8062; font-family: CopseRegular, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22.75px; margin-bottom: 1.2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Two months into it all our two girls were playing a “game” where one would lay on the top stairs and the other would pull her up. Well my 4 year old is strong enough to pull her sister up, but not vice versa. So little sister (I’m imagining) flew down the stair breaking both bones above her ankle. (We found out the story of the “game” that night after all the chaos was controlled.) Needless to say, that game has been banned from being played.</div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #8b8062; font-family: CopseRegular, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22.75px; margin-bottom: 1.2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><a href="http://www.alishasiddoway.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/IMG_0224-copy-copy1.jpg" style="border: 0px; color: #8b8062; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><img alt="IMG_0224 copy copy" border="0" class="" data-lazyload-src="http://www.alishasiddoway.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/IMG_0224-copy-copy_thumb1.jpg" height="414" src="http://www.alishasiddoway.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/IMG_0224-copy-copy_thumb1.jpg" style="-webkit-user-select: none; background-image: none; border-radius: 0px; border: 0px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); display: block; float: none; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 11px auto; opacity: 1; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" title="IMG_0224 copy copy" width="619" /></a></div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #8b8062; font-family: CopseRegular, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22.75px; margin-bottom: 1.2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">A few months later… cast is off and girls are playing downstairs. Treadmill gets turned on with little sister standing on the belt. She wasn’t standing for long. (It was a fluke that it was even left with the tags on, we aren’t neglectful.)</div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #8b8062; font-family: CopseRegular, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22.75px; margin-bottom: 1.2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><a href="http://www.alishasiddoway.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/photo-72.jpg" style="border: 0px; color: #8b8062; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><img alt="photo (72)" border="0" class="" data-lazyload-src="http://www.alishasiddoway.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/photo-72_thumb.jpg" height="376" src="http://www.alishasiddoway.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/photo-72_thumb.jpg" style="-webkit-user-select: none; background-image: none; border-radius: 0px; border: 0px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); display: block; float: none; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 11px auto; opacity: 1; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" title="photo (72)" width="281" /></a></div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #8b8062; font-family: CopseRegular, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22.75px; margin-bottom: 1.2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">This one was just last week. I am, once again, feeding the baby. I hear crying from outside. I hurry outside to find Kyla stuck in the tree. Luckily this time it wasn’t any real damage, she was just stuck.<a href="http://www.alishasiddoway.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/IMG_4898-copy.jpg" style="border: 0px; color: #8b8062; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><img alt="IMG_4898 copy" border="0" class="" data-lazyload-src="http://www.alishasiddoway.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/IMG_4898-copy_thumb.jpg" height="408" src="http://www.alishasiddoway.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/IMG_4898-copy_thumb.jpg" style="-webkit-user-select: none; background-image: none; border-radius: 0px; border: 0px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); display: block; float: none; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 11px auto; opacity: 1; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" title="IMG_4898 copy" width="610" /></a></div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #8b8062; font-family: CopseRegular, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22.75px; margin-bottom: 1.2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">To top it all off I threw my back out 6 months into it all. Ended up with major back spasms, and on heavy medication, and in physical therapy. Not fun.</div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #8b8062; font-family: CopseRegular, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22.75px; margin-bottom: 1.2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">While it’s crazy now and again it’s also really fun. The girls play well together most of the time, and they love their little brother. He really loves them too. When I get him up from a nap he immediately looks to their door to see if they are coming to greet him. It’s really cute.
